A24 Films LLC, commonly referred to as A24 – an American indie entertainment company that specializes in film and television production, as well as film distribution – and CMC Pictures – a Chinese state-backed company that dominate the global distribution of China’s most successful commercial cinema – have teamed up to release the Chinese blockbuster movie in theaters across the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, screening in Imax, 3D and other premium large formats.
"Ne Zha 2" has so far grossed a whopping $2.2 billion – the first animated movie to do so. Depending on how the movie fares in cinemas in the above-mentioned countries, it may even climb a couple of positions higher on the coveted list of highest-grossing films.
The A24-CMC partnership will pose a litmus test of the US market’s appetite for Chinese storytelling, as well as the strategic potential of crossover animation when backed by a potent mix of talent and scale.
