"(all dates subject to change)"
You don't list any. Sorrym but without dates this is a jumbled mess and rather unhelpful.
2 - Tall Writer
The months are the dates. Specific dates are a bit overwhelming since the format goes month by month. Hoping to get the reader familiar with the film first. Thanks for your comment.

I don't understand your reasoning. Who is so sensitive that they are overwhelmed by actual dates?
Your audience is people who want to go see movies, so wouldn't they want to know when they can see them? As it stands now, I don't know if you have the films listed in some arbitrary manner or the order they come out for the month.
Your piece pushes me to find another rather than coming back for your next one.

OK. Found some news at danwei.org
still trying to confirm the story from Christopher Bodeen of the Associated Press who filed a report about Sex and Shanghai. Not sure about the video or a film. Continuing research... thanks for the question - I love interesting challenges like this one.
