Ne Zha to be released in North America

Ne Zha, China's top-earning animated movie, is set to hit the big screen in North America in the near future. US entertainment company WellGo confirmed on Thursday that it will distribute the blockbuster but did not unveil exact data or any other information. The film has raked in more than 4 billion yuan ($568 million) since it was released in Chinese cinemas on July 26, ranking fourth among the all-time highest earners at the Chinese box office. Loosely based on the tale of Ne Zha, a beloved Chinese mythological figure, the film features a daring overhaul of Ne Zha's appearance and depicts him more as a mischievous boy than the hero kid seen in previous cinematic works.
