Fox’s Tubi TV is branching out more and more this year as it expands its international offerings. The service recently announced a new partnership with Wanda Pictures one of the largest Chinese film production and distribution companies in the world. The deal is going to bring both original and English dubbed content to the streamer. After years of US films getting major play in China, the trend is going full circle.
“We are thrilled to be aligning with Wanda Pictures as we look to expand our offering with storytelling from international territories,” said Adam Lewinson, Tubi’s Chief Content Officer. “Tubi viewers will soon have access to premium Chinese filmmaking such as Detective Chinatown 2, completely free.”
This is not new in the streaming world. Last year the film The top-grossing Chinese movie of 2019, The Wandering Earth jumped on to US screens with subtitles and was later featured on Netflix in both dubbed and subtitles. Tubi will be bringing more major pictures including the sixth highest-grossing movie in China Detective Chinatown 2. The deal also includes an anime film set in the esports world, The King’s Avatar: For the Glory. Both films will soon be available on Tubi in the U.S. and Canada, with The King’s Avatar: For The Glory also available in Spanish in the U.S. and Mexico.
Tubi is available on Android and iOS mobile devices, Amazon Echo Show, Google Nest Hub Max, Comcast Xfinity X1, Cox Contour, and on OTT devices such as Amazon Fire TV Edition smart TVs and soundbars, Fire TV streaming devices, Vizio TVs, Sony TVs, Samsung TVs, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Android TV, Hisense TVs, TiVo 4K Stream, TiVo+, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
