Bumblebee officially set on January 4th 2019 in China, distributed by Tencent Pictures. Interesting since it won't have any competition from Aquaman & Spiderverse there (both are December release).
That may give it a financial leg up, then. Perhaps, the world take will help and make it a success if it deserves to be one. That remains to be seen. It would be nice if it was a domestic success as well, though.
Twitter Tencent Pictures will be the local distributor partner of Bumblebee. According to local source, Tencent Pictures has signed minimum-guarantee deal with Paramount Pictures, and the deal helps Paramount Pictures to cover huge part of production budget. #Bumblebee It was said there was a screening for Bumblebee, and people who saw it liked it & it's very friendly for women audience. I hope this bodes well for Bumblebee there.
