March 25 will also mark the Batman v Superman China release as Warner Bros. aims for a massive worldwide opening weekend
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is gearing up for an even bigger opening weekend than previously thought. It was just announced over Twitter that the film’s Chinese debut is now set day and date with the film’s domestic release. In short, the Batman v Superman China release is now officially set for March 25, 2016.
Plans for the day and date Batman v Superman China release come on the heels of 20th Century Fox‘s recent day and date distribution for Kung Fu Panda 3. A sizable hit, the animated sequel managed a $58.2 million opening weekend in China alone.
In the film, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante, fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
