Theatre chain Golden Village (GV) and film distributor Clover Films have added eight more screenings of Dear You in its original Teochew language in Singapore.
The additional screenings will take place from June 25 to 29 at GVmax at GV VivoCity. Tickets will go on sale at 3pm on June 22 via GV’s box office counters and online channels.
The move comes after all eight of the Chinese film’s previously announced Teochew-language screenings, held from June 18 to 21, sold out.

Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun, Dear You follows two interconnected timelines: a grandson searching for his long-lost grandfather in present-day Thailand, and a newly married man who leaves China for Southeast Asia during the 1940s in search of work.
The film has become one of China’s biggest box-office successes this year, grossing more than 1.7 billion yuan (US$251 million).

In an earlier statement, an Infocomm Media Development Authority spokesperson said the film’s original Teochew version could be screened at premieres, festivals and niche events, in addition to the Mandarin-dubbed version.
