IMAX Corporation and Sony Pictures Entertainment have announced that Wolf Totem—the Chinese-language hit film, which was produced and distributed locally by China Film Group—will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX 3D format and released into limited IMAX theatres domestically on Sept. 11.
The film will also be released later this year in select IMAX theatres in Latin America.
Wolf Totem, which was co-written and directed by French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud, debuted earlier this year on Feb. 13 in China, where it grossed more than $110.5 million, including north of $5 million on 200 IMAX screens.
Wolf Totem
In director Jean-Jacques Annaud’s film adaptation of Jiang Rong’s novel, a young Beijing student is sent to live among the nomadic herdsmen of Inner Mongolia.
Caught between the advance of civilization from the south and the nomads’ traditional enemies—the marauding wolves—to the north; humans and animals, residents and invaders alike, struggle to find their true place in the world.
