I wonder if it will be the highest grossing Hollywood film in China this year.
The movie is gonna have a cliffhanger end credit scene teasing birds in Zootopia 3 isn’t it?
Infinity castle could just overtake Jurassic Rebirth.
Why do u keep mentioning fucking covid ffs?? That was 5 years ago 🙄
Jiang Ziya seems like an interesting comp, how did it only end up grossing 240 million from a 150 million ow?
