Release moved up to July 18
On July 14, 2026, the producers of All Wishes Come True! moved the film's nationwide China release forward from July 24 to July 18; CGTN covered the one-week advance as a sign of confidence after positive preview responses.
Details
The film had initially been slated for July 24 — the date given in Pearl Studio and CMC Pictures' June 11 announcement — before the producers moved the nationwide release forward to July 18, following a series of advance screenings and positive audience responses.[1][2]
CGTN noted that the move signaled growing confidence in the film's market potential during the peak summer box office period, as it joined a packed summer lineup of domestic productions.[1]
The same report summarized the premise: rather than retelling the well-known story of The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the film imagines how eight ordinary people from different backgrounds eventually become the legendary immortals, blending fantasy, comedy and adventure. It is produced by Pearl Studio and distributed by CMC Pictures.[1]
CGTN also confirmed that, beyond the domestic market, the film was preparing an international rollout later in the summer, with a Malaysia opening scheduled for late August.[1]
