A rare collaboration between the indie distributor and China's state-backed distributor CMC Pictures brings the top-grossing animation ever to North American screens in August.

An English-language version of Chinese animated film "Ne Zha 2" is coming to theaters this summer from A24 and CMC Pictures.

Ne Zha 2', which is based loosely on Chinese mythology and a famous 16th-century novel, has made US$2.2 billion at the global box office.
