Wonder Woman Extending Its Run In China

Wonder Woman is getting a little extra time to surpass the $100 million mark at the Chinese box office, as the film’s engagement in the People’s Republic has been extended until July 31.

That’s according to a Chinese movie poster (translated on Reddit), which gives the end date of the film’s theatrical engagement.

Due to restrictions on foreign films in the competitive Chinese market, lengthy engagements for films that are not produced or co-produced by Chinese firms are uncommon. Numerous blockbusters including Marvel’s Iron Man 3 have chosen to take on Chinese backers in part because it can ease the process of getting government approvals.

In China, Iron Man 3 had a slightly different cut, which reportedly expanded the role of some of the film’s Chinese actors.

No known changes were made to Wonder Woman for the Chinese market.

You can find the official synopsis for Wonder Woman below. The film currently has an 86.84 on ComicBook.com’s composite rankings.

Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, Princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
