After performing solidly at home, China’s latest nationalistic blockbuster, Home Coming, is heading out into the world.
The film topped China’s National Day holiday box office last weekend with a 60 million debut. It has since climbed to 117 million, with local ticketing service Maoyan projecting a finishing total of around 240 million.
Building on the domestic success, Beijing-based distributor Cmc Pictures has set the film for a North American limited release on Oct. 21, followed by the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on Oct. 27, and Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Pakistan, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg on Oct. 28.
Home Coming is directed by newcomer Rao Xiaozhi but produced by Frank Guo, the filmmaker behind China’s record-earning sci-fi hit The Wandering Earth (700 million in 2019). The film has racked up strong social scores in China, earning a 9.6 rating from Maoyan and 7.6 from reviews site Douban.
