Director Guo Fan and starring actor Wu Jing confirm that the extended version of "The Wandering Earth" will be provided to theaters for free

Starting from yesterday, cinemas in many places have resumed operations. Although less than 7% of the country's cinemas resumed operations on the first day and the box office was only more than 3.5 million, and many were operating at a loss, this is a sign of the restart of the film industry. The film industry lost 30 billion in box office revenue during the 178-day shutdown.

As the film industry resumes production, many films have been released before, and new films are now not scheduled rashly. "The Wandering Earth," the most popular movie at the beginning of last year, is one of them. This time it is not a simple re-screening, but new content has been added. It is reported that there are 15-20 minutes of new content, and some elements that were filmed that year have been added, such as more difficulties in the film and how the team saving the earth will overcome these difficulties. In addition, there are some newly created parts to meet the audience.

Not only is the re-released version full of sincerity, but this re-release also has new benefits. Reports say that with the consent of director Guo Fan, starring Wu Jing, distributor Beijing Culture and other parties, the film will still be provided to theaters for free screening, and all box office revenues will go to the theaters, helping them to overcome difficulties and revive as soon as possible.

"The Wandering Earth" was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of the Chinese New Year. It was released for a total of 90 days, with a total box office of 4.655 billion yuan in the mainland. The box office currently ranks third in China's film history, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" (5.685 billion) and "Nezha" (4.973 billion).
