A24 to Release Chinese Animated Blockbuster ‘Ne Zha 2’ in U.S. Theaters (With Michelle Yeoh Leading English Voice Cast)


A rare collaboration between the indie distributor and China's state-backed distributor CMC Pictures brings the top-grossing animation ever to North American screens in August.

A24 and CMC Pictures are joining forces to bring an English-language version of Ne Zha 2, the runaway animated box office sensation from China, to theaters across North America this summer. The release marks a rare theatrical collaboration between A24 — best known for distinctive auteur-driven films like Uncut Gems, Aftersun, and Past Lives — and CMC Pictures, a Chinese state-backed company that dominates the global distribution of China’s most successful commercial cinema. The franchise’s story follows the rebellious young demigod Ne Zha — born to mortal parents and feared by the heavens — as he wrestles with immense powers and a destiny to face an ancient force bent on humanity’s destruction.
