“Dear You,” the Teochew-dialect family drama that has become one of China’s biggest theatrical stories of 2026, is heading to North America, Australia and New Zealand after CMC Pictures secured the theatrical distribution rights.
The film opens in Australia and New Zealand on June 25, followed by a North America launch on June 26.
The acquisition extends the international reach of a film that has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon in the Middle Kingdom. Opening to just $557,000 on its first day in Chinese cinemas, “Dear You” has since accumulated more than $251 million at the local box office.
