无注释原文：
Disney's ‘Mulan’ Sets China Theatrical Release in September
VARIETY
Disney’s Chinese-themed “Mulan” will hit Chinese theaters in just a few days time, and only one week after “Tenet.”
According to Chinese exhibitors, “Mulan” will open in theaters on Sept. 11. They said that they received notification Wednesday from state-owned distributor China Film Corp., though official websites have not yet been updated. Online ticketing firms such as Mtime and Alibaba’s Taopiaopiao have also not yet reflected the date confirmation.
Chinese theaters reopened on July 20 and are now operating normally, albeit with coronavirus-mandated seating restrictions that limit seating capacity to 50%. Local film, “The Eight Hundred” is currently dominating screens. It was the highest grossing film in the world last weekend with a $70.5 million haul, and Tuesday passed the $300 million milestone. “Tenet” releases in China on Friday (Sept. 4).
A newly released poster for the Niki Caro-directed “Mulan” confirms its playdate.
A teaser poster, recently released when the film had received censorship approval but not a release date, was widely derided by fans who described it as ugly. The new poster features Crystal Liu Yifei as warrior princess Mulan on horseback in front of a charging army, and Liu a second time, bracketed between Chinese stars Donnie Yen and Gong Li.
The film should have reached Chinese and North American theaters in a day-and-date coordinated release in March this year. But the release was delayed several times over by the coronavirus outbreak.
Disney last month took the controversial decision to forgo a theatrical release in several territories and release it instead as a premium video-on-demand offering to Disney Plus subscribers from Sept. 4. That option, however, only applies in areas where Disney Plus is already operational, leaving others such as China, Russia and Turkey as possible theatrical markets.
Within Asia, “Mulan” will have theatrical releases in Singapore and Thailand on Sept. 4.

exhibitor & distributor
exhibitor原意表示“参展者；参展商”，英文解释为“An exhibitor is a person or company whose work or products are being shown in an exhibition.”此处是否可以理解为“出品方”或者是“院线”？看看评论区有没有懂行的：D
Chinese theaters reopened on July 20 and are now operating normally, albeit with coronavirus-mandated seating restrictions that limit seating capacity to 50%. Local film, “The Eight Hundred” is currently dominating screens. It was the highest grossing film in the world last weekend with a $70.5 million haul, and Tuesday passed the $300 million milestone. “Tenet” releases in China on Friday (Sept. 4).
中国影院于7月20日重开，目前正常运营，不过因冠状病毒而强制限座，将上座率限制在50%。本土电影《八佰》目前火热上映中。上周末，它以7050万美元的票房成为全球票房最高的电影，而周二更是突破了3亿美元的里程碑。《信条》将于周五（9月4日）在中国上映。

A teaser poster, recently released when the film had received censorship approval but not a release date, was widely derided by fans who described it as ugly. The new poster features Crystal Liu Yifei as warrior princess Mulan on horseback in front of a charging army, and Liu a second time, bracketed between Chinese stars Donnie Yen and Gong Li.
近期发布的一张预告海报，影迷纷纷嘲笑，称其丑陋不堪。当时影片已获得审批，但没有确定上映日期。新海报中，刘亦菲饰演的战士花木兰在马背上面对冲锋陷阵的军队，并且刘亦菲二度出镜，站在中国明星甄子丹和巩俐之间。
teaser
teaser词典里的意思是“前导广告，悬念式广告（含蓄而引人好奇）”，英文解释为“an advertisement for a product that does not mention the name of the product or say much about it but is intended to make people interested and likely to pay attention to later advertisements”。此处指的是MV的“预告”，“预热”片。

The film should have reached Chinese and North American theaters in a day-and-date coordinated release in March this year. But the release was delayed several times over by the coronavirus outbreak.
该片本应在今年3月在中国和北美院线同步发行。但受冠状病毒爆发影响，上映时间一再推迟。
day-and-date release
Day-and-date release is when a film becomes available in theaters, DVD and VOD all on the same day. Everywhere. 指的就是“同步发行”，也可以说a simultaneous release.
A simultaneous release, also known as "day-and-date" release, is the release of a film on multiple platforms—most commonly theatrical and home video—on the exact same day, or in very close proximity to each other. This is in contrast to the industry standard of having a window of exclusivity (usually 90 days) between the theatrical and home video releases.
Disney last month took the controversial decision to forgo a theatrical release in several territories and release it instead as a premium video-on-demand offering to Disney Plus subscribers from Sept. 4. That option, however, only applies in areas where Disney Plus is already operational, leaving others such as China, Russia and Turkey as possible theatrical markets.
迪士尼上个月做出了一个颇具争议的决定，即放弃在多个地区的影院上映，转而从9月4日起以付费视频点播的形式向Disney+用户发行。不过，这种方式只适用有Disney+业务的地区，其他地区如中国、俄罗斯和土耳其等都会选择院线发行的形式。
forgo
表示“放弃，摒绝（令人愉悦之物）”，英文解释为“to not have or do something enjoyable”举个🌰：
I shall have to forgo the pleasure of seeing you this week.
这周我只好放弃与您相见的那份荣幸了。
premium /ˈpriːmɪəm/
1）作形容词，表示“高昂的；优质的；高端的”，英文解释为“very high (and higher than usual); of high quality”，如：premium prices/products 奇高的价格；优质产品。
2）作名词，表示“附加费”，英文解释为“A premium is a sum of money that you have to pay for something in addition to the normal cost.”举个🌰：
Even if customers want "solutions," most are not willing to pay a premium for them.
即使顾客们想要“解决方案”，大部分人不愿意为此支付附加费。
video-on-demand
表示“电视点播”，英文解释为“a system for watching films or recorded programmes on the internet or television at any time”。
Within Asia, “Mulan” will have theatrical releases in Singapore and Thailand on Sept. 4.
在亚洲范围内，《花木兰》将于9月4日在新加坡和泰国上映。
It is not just the poster that has proved controversial. Some aspects of the story and the film's redrawing of certain beloved characters has annoyed fans.
事实证明，引起争议的不仅仅是海报。故事的某些方面以及影片对某些心爱人物的重新刻画，都让影迷们感到不满。
