‘Ne Zha 2’ Sets Russia Theatrical Release With Arna Media-All Rights Entertainment Deal (EXCLUSIVE)

by

Arna Media, a well-known Russian distributor, has struck a deal with All Rights Entertainment to launch the Chinese movie blockbuster “Ne Zha 2” in theaters throughout Russia on May 29.

The agreement was worked out by Aurelien Piris, who is the head of sales for Europe and Africa at All Rights Entertainment, based in Paris, Hong Kong, and L.A.

The movie titled “Ne Zha 2,” helmed by director Yang Yu, has broken global box office records, accumulating a staggering $2.13 billion worldwide. This puts it as the fifth highest-grossing film ever made, the top-earning animated film of all time, and the first non-American production to surpass the $2 billion mark. The movie’s success extends beyond Asia, earning over $20 million in the U.S. and raking in over $1.5 million during its debut weekend in the U.K.

Embarking on an exhilarating journey inspired by ancient Chinese folklore, I found myself immersed in the tale of Ne Zha, a fiery and destined spirit who clashes with the formidable Dragon King. In the heat of combat, a bolt of divine lightning struck us, catapulting my companion and me into the mystical realm of spirits. Our only hope for return lay within the sacred Lotus flower, guiding us back to the world of the living.

Arna Media has recently shared a number of critically acclaimed films, such as “Anora,” which won the Palme D’Or at Cannes, and “Longlegs,” a surprising success starring Nicolas Cage.

Nadezda Motina, head of Arna Media and its creator, expressed: “It’s a great privilege for us to share this marvelous animated movie with viewers throughout the Commonwealth of Independent States. To ensure a successful launch, we’re planning an extensive promotional campaign on all major platforms. I am optimistic that ‘Ne Zha 2’ will capture people’s affections.
