Top-grossing 2017 Chinese movie Wolf Warrior 2 (战狼2) continues in Pittsburgh through August 16.

The 2017 Chinese action movie Wolf Warrior 2 (战狼2), which opened in Pittsburgh on July 28, will continue at the AMC Loews Waterfront Theater through August 16. A synopsis, from the distributor:

The Wolf Warrior is back, bigger and badder than ever, in this action-packed sequel to the 2015 blockbuster hit. With his career in tatters, China’s deadliest Special Forces operative has settled into a quiet life on the sea. But when he crosses paths with a sadistic band of mercenaries terrorizing innocent civilians, he must reaffirm his duty as a soldier and save the day once again. Fists (and bullets, tanks, missiles and much more) will fly in this adrenaline-fueled tour de force of bravura action filmmaking, all culminating into a climactic battle between the Wolf Warrior and the mercenary leader (Frank Grillo, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War).

The movie, released in China on July 27, is currently the top-grossing film in China in 2017. Tickets and showtimes are available from Fandango. The theater is located at 300 West Waterfront Dr. in the Waterfront shopping complex in Homestead (map), across the Monongahela River from Greenfield, Squirrel Hill, and the rest of Pittsburgh.
