So the movie timeline could be like this, August 2009-July 2010. Dre could start his school year in China after summer vacation, after he moved to China.

Dre's birthday is July 8, 1997, as seen in beginning of the movie, in the scene Mr. Han tells about his family accident, which occurs in June 8, Dre says he has 12 years old, the scene is before his 13 years old anniversary.

Dre is already 12 years old at the beginning of the film, so the film has to start after July 8th, so August 2009 as the start of the movie works.

Mr. Han says his wife and son died the 8th of June after the festival, which appears in Dre's phone, so June 20 in early scene is a mistake, so the movie probably have to start before June.

Yeah, it's weird. Researching the Chinese school system, they start and break the same time as America, so a June 6th school start doesn't make sense unless it's some sort of summer school or something. But, hell, I will go for June as a start date.

True...though, it could be June 2010...I don't recall them celebrating his birthday in the film. Maybe they did and I just didn't remember.
 
There is a June 2009 calendar, a scene before Mr. Han say there isn't kung fu teaching in the next day.

July 8, 1997 is Dre's birthday, so he have 12 in 2009 and then 13, in 2010.

We could ignore the real date of Qixi festival in August, to doesn't have a big time jump in the movie, make to happen early.

We could say Dre rounded his age to 12, when he say in June 8, 2009, since he will turn 12 on July 8, 2009, one month after that date, since he practically already 12.

So the movie timeline for me is January-July 2009, the movie start in January, in beginning of new school year, the Qixi festival in Miyagi-verse occurs before August, so doesn't have a big time jump in the movie, the full movie is in 2009.

Movie would be 2009. How did you rationalize January?
 
I thought better, even with my timelines clues, for me the better timeline from the movie is August 2009-July 2010. August because of Qixi Festival, that happened in Aug 26, 2009, then we have the emotional scene in June 8, 2010, then the tournament in later July 2010, but this is just my opinion.

Yeah, but new school year is usually the same as ours. It's September in China.

Let me sit down and watch this and think about it.

He could already started school year, he started in Detroit in August/September 2008, then have winter break, then he continued in next year, 2009, but since he moved on, this time is in China. When the movie begins, like this, August 2008-June 2009, then August 2009 will be a new school year. What do you think? The movie is good, but the original KK is better.
