Jurassic World: Dominion continues to dominate the Chinese box office in its second week, earning a total of $92.23 million so far in 10 days, and $23 million over the weekend with 20% of its cinemas still closed for Covid reasons. It’s the biggest territory for this film internationally, getting a coveted day-and-date release in China, and expected to earn north of $120 million at the end of its run.

One more film that will not open in China is Pixar’s Lightyear, the spin-off from the Toy Story movies. Disney has refused the Chinese censor’s requests to remove a same-sex kiss in order to qualify for release. Producer Galyn Sussman said at the London premiere of the movie, “We’re not going to cut out anything, especially something as important as the loving and inspirational relationship that shows Buzz what he’s missing by the choices that he’s making.” 14 countries have banned the film for the same reason, predominantly Muslim countries where homosexuality is illegal.

Chris Evans, who voices Buzz Lightyear, had this to say to Reuters: “The real truth is those people are idiots.” Perhaps Disney has learned from the banning of Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and the underwhelming numbers of Mulan, that the days of appeasing China are over. Variety reports that in the wake of the Disney debacle in Florida (the non-condemnation of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill), employees at Pixar sent a statement to Disney accusing it of censoring “overtly gay affection” in its films, without mentioning names. Apparently, the kiss was already removed from the film but reinstated in the wake of the handling of Florida.

For the weekend of June 17-19, these are the other films in the top ten in China.
