Marvel's 'Black Panther 2' And DC's 'Black Adam' Will Not Release In China

Los Angeles, November 11 - Marvel Studios' latest blockbuster Black Panther: Wakanda Forever along with Warner Bros. DC superhero flick Black Adam are unlikely to release in China, the biggest movie market in the world, according to The Hollywood Reporter.## The Beijing regulators continue to crack down on American movies, particularly Marvel/Disney. The market of Hollywood movies in China has reduced drastically over the last few years but still, the snubbing of top-tier superhero titles is costing the studios tens of millions of lost potential revenue. ## While the official word on the ban on "Black Panther 2" is awaited, THR reports that the film's denial comes as little surprise given the recent track record of Marvel movies in the Middle Kingdom. The first "Black Panther", which was released in 2018, grossed $105 million in China.## China has been a big market for Marvel films, however, since the covid-19 pandemic, the scenario has changed for the studio to get permission to release the film there. Over the last year or so, China has banned Marvel titles - "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" (2021) and "Eternals" (2021) along with "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021) and others.## Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam", which was released a couple of weeks ago and has already crossed $320 million worldwide, has also reportedly been banned in China. Johnson's films have done good business in the country such as "Skyscraper" ($98 million in China) and Hobbs & Shaw ($201 million). ## Stay tuned...

Akshay Kumar Says No To The Sequels To Blockbuster Film Franchises

Mumbai, November 11 - A few days ago, it was reported that Akshay Kumar would be reviving the sequels to the blockbuster film franchises, such as Hera Pheri, Welcome, and Awara Pagal Deewana, which has been in demand for a long time now. ## Things had started falling in place with multiple meetings between Akshay and producer Firoz Nadiadwala, however, it seems all goes in vain. According to the latest reports, Akshay has pulled out from doing "Hera Pheri 3", "Welcome 3", and "Awara Pagal Deewana 2". ## It is said that despite continued efforts to bring the aforementioned films to life, Akshay Kumar didn't convince by the idea of Firoz Nadiadwala to take these franchises forward. The actor reportedly believes these are iconic films and compromising with the quality will not do justice to these films. ## Akshay Kumar is looking to do a fresh comedy film, instead of riding on the popularity of past franchises with half-baked scripts. The actor already has a busy calendar with a variety of films and a new comedy film will make his line-up look even better.## On the other hand, producer Firoz Nadiadwala is now looking to approach other actors to take these franchises forward. It remains to see who comes on board these films and does justice to the characters. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Kantara Sets Eyes On 400 Crores Worldwide

Bengaluru, November 11 - Rishab Shetty's mega-blockbuster Kantara is on a record-breaking spree at the box office and setting new benchmarks for low-budget films with each passing day. ## Who had thought that a film, which opened to below 2 crore net, would cross 100 crores, probably on one? But such has been the response to the film that even 100 crores have become a thing of the past as "Kantara" is now looking to reach 4X of 100 crores. ## As of today (November 11), the adventure action thriller film has grossed approx. 360 crores worldwide in 42 days. The movie has proved to be a horse of the long race and going by the current trend, it is not going to stop anytime soon. ## Despite new releases every week, "Kantara" continues to score over 2 crores net every day for all languages. While the movie will get slow at the box office from today onwards due to the challenge from notable releases, the movie still has an outside chance to breach 400 crores gross mark globally. ## Apart from reaching the milestone at the global box office, "Kantara" also has a chance to create history at the Karnataka box office by becoming the highest-grossing film ever in the state. Currently, Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 is the number 1 movie in the state with approx. 182 crores whereas "Kantara" is not far behind with approx. 173 crores. ## The Hombale Films production is also in the race to breach 100 crores net in the dubbed Hindi version. It has netted approx. 70 crores in 28 days of its Hindi release and remains of the possible contenders to reach the milestone in its full run. It will, however, need strong legs to reach there as it will have strong competition from Ajay Devgn's "Drishyam 2" from the next week and then Varun Dhawan's "Bhediya" from November 25. ## Stay tuned...
