Derek Tsang’ riveting new drama, Better Days, will finally have its U.S. theatrical bow on November 8 from Well Go USA. The move is the latest milestone for the film which befell China censorship over the summer among other titles this year.
Since its June 27 release lapse, Better Days opened in China instead on October 25 starring Zhou Dongyu and Jackson Yee in an emotionally captivating, picaresque tale of social and urban strife, and love between a bullied, abused school girl struggling to prep for final exams, and the small-time criminal who sets out to protect her.
The China cut severed five minutes from its runtime following its June release cancellation due to reticence from China’s education authorities. It is not yet known if the U.S. cut will have the same runtime.
