John Wick 4 Opens in China Without Cuts March 14

Lionsgate's 'John Wick: Chapter 4' will be released in China on March 14, 2025, marking a rare instance where an R-rated film has been allowed to debut without cuts from local censors. This release comes two years after its initial global launch in 2023, during which it grossed over $440 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing installment in the franchise. Directed by Chad Stahelski and featuring Keanu Reeves, the film follows John Wick as he seeks to defeat The High Table while navigating a world filled with assassins. The franchise has gained notoriety for its violence and action-packed storytelling, which began in 2014 with the original film. A spinoff titled 'Ballerina,' starring Ana de Armas, is also set to release on June 6, 2025, with Reeves making a cameo. Huahua Media will oversee the distribution in China, a territory that has historically restricted violent content from foreign films.
