Foreword: On December 4, 2021, the highly anticipated Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix Reboot" was officially announced, and will be released on january 14, 2022 in Chinese mainland, and "The Matrix: Matrix Reboot" is continued by Lana Wachowski, one of the Wachowski sisters of the old trilogy.
Non-famous entertainment critic Wu Qinggong pointed out that the male number one of the old trilogy, Keanu Reeves, continued to star in the fourth part, and Kelly-Ann Moss and Jada Pink Smith also returned. Yehya Abdul-Martin II, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris, Prijaka Chopra, Jonathan Grove and other new additions.
It is worth mentioning that The Matrix: The Matrix Reboot will be released in North America on December 22 this year, so the film will not be too high at the box office in the Chinese mainland, because there will definitely be pirates online. Take, for example, the highly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster 007: No Time to Die, which was released in the United States on October 8, 2021, and Chinese mainland on October 29, 2021.
"007: No Time to Die" has just exceeded 400 million at the box office in the mainland, which is a big surprise. The fantasy adventure film Jungle Quest starring Dwayne Johnson was released in North America on July 30, 2021 and Chinese mainland on November 12, 2021, and ended up grossing just 43.03 million, which is incredible.
In the past, Hollywood paid special attention to the Chinese mainland film market, and was even willing to let movies be released in advance Chinese mainland, why are there few blockbusters released at the same time this year? In fact, it is because we have done too much protection for domestic films. The epidemic in China is the best controlled in the world, but it has also greatly affected china's film industry.
Therefore, the state still gives priority to allowing domestic films to get full room for release and allow investors to recover their costs. Therefore, many Marvel fans are not happy, because Marvel has released many movies this year, but none of them have been released in Chinese mainland, including "Black Widow", "Shangqi", and "Eternals".
Now, Marvel fans are pinning their hopes on Spider-Man 3: Homeless, because the first two were released Chinese mainland. "Spider-Man 3: Heroes Of No Return" has been scheduled to be released in North America on December 17, 2021, and it is impossible to release it simultaneously in Chinese mainland, because there are many domestic movies to be released in the New Year file and New Year's Day file.
Therefore, "Spider-Man 3: Heroes Of No Return" is likely to be released on the same day as "The Matrix Restart", which is more awkward because it is only a little more than 2 weeks before the Spring Festival. During this time, there were no domestic blockbusters released, which belonged to a very chicken slot, so Hollywood blockbusters could be allowed to "kill each other".
Discussion: Do you think Spider-Man 3 will be released on the same day as The Matrix 4 on Chinese mainland?
