Other popular films include Avatar, Inception and Interstellar, which will all be making their way to Chinese theaters.

“The blockbusters haven’t yet received official rerelease dates, but a source at one of the China’s nationwide cinema operators tells The Hollywood Reporter that they will be made available to movie theaters ‘basically, whenever the DCPs reach the cinemas,’” the report reads.
