In Australia on the 23 of July, 2009 and in New Zealand on the 19 November, 2009, it probably will be shown as one movie.

European and US shows will include Part I and II (as one movie). It lasts about two hours and 25 minutes, focusing on the main characters of the story and eliminating peripheral ones (source: english.cri.cn). That would be a waste for those who wanted to watch both of the films and enjoy the full spectrum of events alas.

So far the movie is already shown in Latvia, Denmark, Estonia, Belgium, France, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, UK, Czech Republic, Poland and Turkey as the imdb.com says. It has already managed to get $161,545 in five days since it was shown on March 25 inFrance. Before the premier in France John Woo promoted the movie on different TV stations and in magazines and somewhere about 27,500 people watched the most expensive Asian-financed movie to date on its first day in France.
