"Red Cliff 2" makes battle plans for Asia

The second installment of John Woo's $80 million period epic "Red Cliff" will premiere in China on January 15, 2009 and mark the first step in a tightly coordinated release campaign across the Asian region. The film's finalized release date is more than a week ahead of the main Chinese New Year holiday, which in 2009 falls on Jan 26, and is intended to maximize its B.O. potential with holiday auds. Pic will also open in Taiwan and Hong Kong on Jan 15, with three territories, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore getting a Jan 22 release. Malaysian audiences will see the Tony Leung-starrer a day later, on Jan 23.
