Neofilms announced last week that it will open Mamoru Hosoda and Studio Chizu's new BELLE (Ryū to Sobakasu no Hime, literally "The Dragon and the Freckled Princess") anime film in Hong Kong in October. Neofilms is streaming a trailer for the film.

BELLE opened in Japan on July 16, and topped the box office for three consecutive weekends. The film has IMAX screenings in 38 theaters throughout Japan. The film has earned a cumulative total of 5,568,867,200 yen (about US$50.68 million) as of August 30.

Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, The Boy and The Beast, Mirai) directed and scripted the film, and is also credited for the original work. The film marks Studio Chizu's 10th anniversary. Taisei Iwasaki (Blood Blockade Battlefront, Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan, The Naked Director) is the film's music director and composer.
