‘Dune’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ Set for China Rerelease as Hollywood Seeks Rebound After New Year Holiday (EXCLUSIVE)


‘Dune’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ are set for theatrical rerelease in China, as Hollywood seeks to rebound in the world's second largest movie market.

Part of the 2023 problem for Chinese cinemas may have been the collapse to less than 15% market share of Hollywood in a territory that U.S. titles dominated a decade earlier. They include: “Pegasus 2” a car-racing comedy sequel; “Yolo,” the latest film by “Hi, Mom” star and director Jia Ling; and “Article 20,” this year’s offering by the evergreen Zhang Yimou. Legendary East, a China subsidiary of Legendary Entertainment — the Hollywood studio that remains partly-controlled by China’s Wanda Culture despite the financial woes of Wanda owner Wang Jianlin — is the entity credited as presenter of “Dune,” “Dune 2” and “Godzilla x Kong.” In overseas territories, Warner Bros. is the distributor of record.
