Blades of the Guardians is amazing. I’m in the US and was lucky enough to catch a screening. Highly recommend it to anyone that likes action movies
Go King!!
Damn, that sucks for Hoppers. I really thought there was a chance for it to overperform and make a splash in China.
This also kinda disproves the notion that China would watch anything with talking animals. You still gotta pray that stars align there.
