In the running for the worst movie of the year, this CGI "thriller" if we can call it that, received so many poor reviews back in March when it first came out. If you like disasters and fake graphics, this one's definitely for you.

To all the naysayers who thought this wouldn't come to China, eat your words! Although it'll be heavily censored, it still might be worth a gander on the big screen.

Just don't read the reviews.

Note: this one is in Japanese with Chinese subtitles
Hate to break it to ya, but this is the 22nd in a long series of Detective Conan animé flicks. And this particular one isn't a great entry point. At least Amuro shows up.

一場大規模的恐怖襲擊，一個牽扯無數內幕的神秘組織，這個關乎整個東京的可怕計劃即將拉開帷幕…首腦雲集的東京峰會舉辦在即，會場突然發生超大規模的爆炸事件，不僅在現場發現行蹤詭異的安室透，毛利小五郎更是慘遭陷害。面對最危險任務，最燒腦的推理，最艱難的博弈，柯南能否在迷霧中尋找到唯一的真相。

Magizoologist Newt Scamander returns in this "even better than the first" sequel... and we get to see more of Grindelwald, obviously, as well as many younger versions of our favorite characters from the original HP series, including Professor Dumbledore himself.

Another same-week release for China! Six years after the events of Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph and Vanellope, now friends, discover a wifi router in their arcade, leading them into a new adventure.
And if you look closer at the Chinese poster for this film, you can't help but laugh. Oh, the irony! Some of those "internet" logos are mysteriously blocked here, but a movie about them still happens to sneak in... we assume those parts will be blurred out or renamed, though. On principle.
Obviously, the most anticipated part of this will be seeing all the Disney princesses (and voices) together in the same scene. We literally can't wait~

No idea how this one will do in Mainland China, but we assume, with all of the buzz and great reviews around the world, it's gonna do pretty well. For best experience, watch with a theater full of Crazy [Middle Class] Asians.
The story follows Rachel Chu (Wu), an American-born Chinese economics professor, who travels to her boyfriend Nick's (Golding) hometown of Singapore for his best friend's wedding.
Before long, his secret is out: Nick is from a family that is impossibly wealthy, he's perhaps the most eligible bachelor in Asia, and every single woman in his ultra-rarefied social class is incredibly jealous of Rachel and wants to bring her down.
紐約土生土長的朱麗秋（吳恬敏 飾）陪拍拖已久的男友楊力（亨利·戈爾丁 飾）回到新加坡參加死黨婚禮。麗秋既為首次到亞洲旅行感到興奮，同時亦因為要拜訪楊力的家人而緊張。她在毫無準備的情況下得悉男友一直沒有透露的身世……
原來楊力不僅是新加坡首富的後人，亦是城中矚目的「鑽石王老 五」。身為女友的麗秋腹背受敵，不單只受到名媛的妒忌，還要面對楊力挑剔的母親（楊紫瓊 飾）阻攔。這一切都證明金錢雖然買不到愛情，卻足以令事情變得非常複雜。
