Imax Corp will announce a partnership with Huayi Bros, China’s largest film studio, to release three Chinese-language movies, the Wall Street Journal reported. Huayi Bros will produce the films together with Imax, which will market and remaster them. The first film, entitled "Aftershock," will be the first large non-US made commercial film to be shown on Imax screens. It will be released in China and across Asia next summer. China is Imax’s second-largest market after the US, and the company plans to expand the number of theaters to 42 by 2012, from 18 at present.
