March date for Slumdog

Slumdog Millionaire, the runaway star of this week's Academy Awards, will hit mainland theaters around late March, according to EDKO Films and the China Film Group Corporation.

The film swept the Oscars with eights wins from its 10 nominations - it had already picked up seven BAFTAs in Britain - and is the only Oscar-nominated film to be screened in the mainland.
