Mulan in box office battle

Hong Kong director Jingle Ma's movie Mulan is set to join the year-end battle at the Chinese box office. The historical epic that is set for release across China on Nov 27, will premiere at the Beijing Workers' Stadium on Nov 16.

At a press conference on Monday, Vicky Zhao (Zhao Wei, pictured), who was joined by Jaycee Chan, and plays the title role, said she was confident it would not disappoint moviegoers.

Asked about its rivals at the box office, the actress revealed that she was most keen on watching director Zhang Yimou's Amazing Tale: Three Guns.
