The hotly anticipated “Soul” may have decided to skip cinemas in the COVID-19-ravaged U.S. for Disney Plus, but it will screen in Chinese theaters from Christmas Day, Dec. 25. Disney currently has no plans to launch its streaming service in China, where such platforms are strictly policed by government authorities.

“Onward,” however, fell a bit flat when it screened in mid-August in newly reopened Chinese cinemas as they started to revive in the wake of COVID-19. Caps on ticket sales and screening numbers at the time likely didn’t help, and it grossed just $10.3 million. Loosely based on the Capcom video game series of the same name, which is popular in China, it is written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Tony Jaa, T.I., Ron Perlman, Meagan Good and Diego Boneta.
