Extra 70 Teochew Screenings of ‘Dear You’ Added Due to High Demand

Following an incredible response, an additional 70 commercial screenings of the Chinese blockbuster Dear You have been scheduled in Singapore. This comes after the original Teochew-language version saw immense demand.

On July 1, both Clover Films and Golden Village (GV) revealed these extra screenings, just days after 40 previously added screenings sold out within three hours of release.

Community Engagement

In addition to the commercial screenings, the distributors plan to collaborate with local grassroots organizations to host another 30 community screenings. This initiative aims to make the film more accessible to senior audiences.

Ticket Availability and Screening Locations

Tickets for these new commercial screenings will be available starting at 12 PM on Thursday, July 2, through both Golden Village and Shaw box offices, as well as their online platforms.

The screenings are set to run from July 3 to July 12 and will be available at nine different cinema locations, including recently added venues such as GV Bugis+, GV Cineleisure, Shaw Lido, and Shaw JEM.

Responses to the Film

Lim Teck, managing director of Clover Films, expressed joy over the enthusiastic reaction to the Teochew-language screenings of Dear You. He stated, “We are delighted to expand the showcase with more screenings to satisfy audience demand and hope the film continues to inspire dialogue across generations, encouraging cultural preservation.”

About the Film

Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun, Dear You tells a compelling story of a family separated by generations. The film explores profound themes of migration, sacrifice, and the practice of Chinese migrants sending letters and remittances back home.

Having grossed over 1.8 billion yuan (approximately US$265 million) in China, the film has captured widespread attention. In Singapore, the original Teochew screenings have triggered significant public interest, sparking conversations about dialects, Chinese cultural heritage, and the nation’s language policies.
