Warner Bros., a unit of AT&T (NYSE:T), has received approval from the Chinese government for an April 8 release of “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore.”
What Happened: The Chinese opening comes one week before the film has its April 15 premiere in North America. According to a Deadline report, the one-month advance notice of an opening is a relative rarity for U.S. films, which lately have been given very tight windows between receiving permission for release and getting ready for their Chinese opening.
