Ne Zha 2 Sets US Rerelease Date for English Dub With Marvel Actor
'I'm honored to be part of Ne Zha 2, a landmark in Chinese animation and a powerful reminder of how universal our stories can be,' Michelle Yeoh said in a statement. 'Sharing this with audiences in English is such a joy, and I can't wait for everyone to experience the wonder, heart, spectacular artistry, and magic of this film on the big screen' (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Ne Zha 2, directed by Yang Yu (Jiaozi), premiered in China on January 29, 2025, during Lunar New Year. The movie has grossed over $2.2 billion worldwide. Of that, $2 billion came from China alone.
It now ranks as the highest-grossing animated film of all time. It is also the top-grossing non-English-language film and the fifth highest-grossing film overall. The movie surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a single territory within just 11 days.
The film follows Ne Zha and Ao Bing, who now share one body after a divine lightning strike. The plot centers on Taiyi Zhenren's plan to rebuild their bodies using the seven-colored lotus. The sequel builds on the success of 2019's Ne Zha, which reimagined the mythological hero in a modern animated style.
CMC first announced the English-language rerelease at the Beijing International Film Festival in April 2025. The film earned $20.8 million during its original North American release. The studio has not yet revealed Michelle Yeoh's exact role in the English dub.

Book Review: A sudden blizzard strands a detective and murder suspects in a hunting lodge
Book Review - Hunter's Heart Ridge - 3x2 for APNews In 1965, as the Vietnam War escalates, a small group of wealthy, powerful men gather at a Vermont lodge to drink and hunt deer. Shortly after they arrive, one of their number, William Moulton, a supporter of the war and a former ambassador to West Germany, is found dead in the woods. State Trooper Franklin Warren, first introduced by author Sarah Stewart Taylor in 'Agony Hill,' (2024) is dispatched to investigate when 'Hunter's Heart Ridge' opens. The surviving members of the group speculate that Moulton died in a hunting accident or, perhaps, killed himself; but Warren promptly determines the man was murdered in a most unusual way. He was stabbed through the heart, and then someone fired a rifle shot through the stab wound as if trying to conceal the cause of death. The group, like the rest of the nation, had been hotly debating the wisdom and morality of the war. However, it soon becomes evident that most of them had a variety of additional reasons to dislike Moulton. As Warren proceeds with his investigation, it becomes evident that nearly everyone is lying to him about one thing or another, although it is not clear whether what each of them has to hide is related to the murder. Then a sudden, early season blizzard strikes, bringing down the telephone lines and stranding Warren with a house full of suspects, including members of the lodge service staff. 'It's like a movie, isn't it,' says one of the kitchen help. 'Or an Agatha Christie novel.' Yes, except that the story's pace sometimes drags. A subplot involving Franklin's friends Alice and Sylvie builds on characters who played a role in 'Agony Hill,' but it adds little to the main story and will be lost on those who have not read the previous novel. Nevertheless, the main plot is clever and suspenseful, and as usual in Taylor's novels (this is her tenth), the settings are vividly drawn and the characters — especially an excitable teenage girl named Jenny — are quirky and memorable. ___ Bruce DeSilva, winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award, is the author of the Mulligan crime novels including 'The Dread Line.' ___ AP book reviews:

Zooming in further, WBD's outperformance looks less pronounced compared to Invesco Leisure and Entertainment ETF (PEJ). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 27.5% over the past year. Moreover, WBD's double-digit gains on a YTD basis outshine the ETF's 8.8% returns over the same time frame. WBD's outperformance is driven by the success of popular series and substantial international expansion of Max to 77 markets, leveraging HBO's premium content reputation and its extensive film library to offer a unique value proposition in the streaming space. On May 8, WBD shares closed up more than 5% after reporting its Q1 results. Its loss of $0.18 per share fell short of Wall Street's expectations of a loss of $0.12 per share. The company's revenue was $9 billion, falling short of Wall Street forecasts of $9.7 billion. For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect WBD's loss per share to grow 99.1% to $0.04 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is disappointing. It missed the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while beating the forecast on another occasion. Among the 25 analysts covering WBD stock, the consensus is a 'Moderate Buy.' That's based on 11 'Strong Buy' ratings, one 'Moderate Buy,' and 13 'Holds.' This configuration is less bearish than two months ago, with one analyst suggesting a 'Strong Sell.' On Jul. 30, Patrick Sholl from Barrington reiterated a 'Buy' rating on WBD with a price target of $16, implying a potential upside of 24.3% from current levels. The mean price target of $13.37 represents a 3.9% premium to WBD's current price levels. The Street-high price target of $20 suggests an ambitious upside potential of 55.4%.
