2018 is coming! "Spirited Away" will be introduced to China, but the release date is still to be determined

According to the latest news on May 9, the classic animated film "Spirited Away" (original name: Spirited Away ) by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki will be introduced to mainland China, and the Chinese subtitle poster was released at the same time. The mainland release date is yet to be determined. For movie fans, it is a pleasant surprise to be able to see this "once-in-a-lifetime" classic movie on the big screen in mainland China. As written in the poster - "worth all the waiting."

·Spirited Away was first released in Japan in 2001 and quickly became one of Hayao Miyazaki's most famous works. It is also the only animated film in the world to win both the Oscar and the Golden Bear. To this day, Spirited Away still sits firmly on the box office champion throne in Japanese film history with a super high box office of 30.8 billion yen (about 1.9 billion yuan). The film has taken in 275 million US dollars in the global box office. In 2015, the British BBC ranked it fourth in the "100 Best Films of the 21st Century", ranking first among all animated films.

The introduction of Spirited Away to the mainland may be related to the successful introduction of Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro last year, according to industry speculation. My Neighbor Totoro was released in mainland theaters on December 14, 2018, and was the first film produced by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli to be released in the mainland. The film earned 170 million yuan at the box office in China and was widely welcomed by mainland audiences.
