You have no reason to ask for more, and it has not done more — — For example, it sublimates a type of flow. But we must know that people like playgrounds for no reason. " The film will also be opened in mainland China on January 18th.

Another new North American film worth mentioning is Universal Pictures’ Dragon Trainer 3, which started painting in Australia and New Zealand last week, earning $4.7 million and $500,000 respectively, and will be painted in Indonesia, Norway and Lebanon next week.

Disney’s "Happy Man 2" continued to earn $15.77 million last week, and the local box office reached $138.7 million in 19 days. The trend is very optimistic.
