“So happy Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be in theaters across China on May 5th, same as in the US!”
This is significant because certain films, including the original Guardians of the Galaxy, don’t release in China until months after other places. With a same day release, less people will have to avoid spoilers online, and it will surely help the film’s box office success.
