China’s Summer Hit ’Ne Zha’ to Get North American Release from Well Go USA
中國暑期檔熱門電影《哪吒》即將赴北美上映
China’s hit of the summer, animated blockbuster Ne Zha, is heading to North America.Well Go USA Entertainment will release the film exclusively in select 3D Imax theaters across North America on Aug 29, followed by a nationwide expansion on Sept 6.
今年夏天中國熱門動畫巨作《哪吒》即將登陸北美市場。該影片將于8月29日在北美部分地區的 3D Imax 影院獨家上映,9月6日將在全美上映。
Produced by Beijing Enlight Pictures and written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Yang Yu (aka Jiao Zi), Ne Zha is China’s biggest animated film ever, with a box office total of $555 million and counting.
Already China’s fourth-biggest film release of all time, Ne Zha is forecasted by most analysts to finish its run with well over $600 million. It could even challenge sci-fi smash The Wandering Earth to become the Middle Kingdom’s second-biggest movie in local box office history.
An innovative take on a well-known work of classical Chinese mythology, Ne Zha follows a boy born of the gods who finds himself a feared outcast because of a divine prophecy that he will bring destruction to the world.
The young boy faces a choice between good and evil in order to break the shackles of fate and become a hero.
為了打破命運的枷鎖并成為一名英雄,這個小男孩面臨著善與惡的抉擇。
The film’s underdog story has clicked with audiences in China in a profound way, resulting in historically high social scores for the movie on leading review platforms, such as 9.7/10 on leading ticketing app Maoyan.
