Movies including Disney-Marvel\u2019s <em>Black Widow, The Eternals<\/em>, and <em>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/em> still do not have release dates in China at press time.<\/p>\n<p>China has surpassed the U.S. as the largest movie market in the world, thanks in large part to the coronavirus pandemic. The top two biggest grossing movies worldwide this year are both from China: the Korean War epic&nbsp;<em>The Battle at Lake Changjin<\/em>&nbsp;\u2013 which promotes anti-American sentiment while lionizing&nbsp;Communist dictator Mao Zedong \u2013 and the time-traveling comedy <em>Hi, Mom<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Other Hollywood movies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/11\/15\/disneys-jungle-cruise-latest-hollywood-blockbuster-bomb-china\/\">are flopping at the Chinese box office<\/a>, with Disney\u2019s <em>Jungle Cruise<\/em> and&nbsp;Warner Bros.\u2019 <em>Wonder Woman 1984&nbsp;<\/em>failing to generate much interest with local audiences.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Global Times<\/em> noted that Chinese netizens are mocking the J.K.

Communist censors have banned best picture Oscar winner <em>Nomadland<\/em> reportedly for director Chloe Zhao\u2019s negative comments about growing up in China. (Zhao also directed <em>The Eternals<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p><em>Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> was censored upon its Chinese release, with scenes of gay intimacy and drug use excised from the movie.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow David Ng on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HeyItsDavidNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@HeyItsDavidNg<\/a>.
