Hong Kong director Peter Chan's latest film Perhaps Love, starring Chinese mainland actress Zhou Xun, Taiwan heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Hong Kong veteran Jackie Cheung, will hit Chinese mainland cinemas December 2. 

The premiere is scheduled two weeks ahead this year's heavy-weight film The Promise by Chen Kaige, starring award-winning Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung, South Korean star Jang Dong-Kun and Chinese mainland actress Chen Hong.

Six of Chinese major cinema chains, which make up 55 percent of the country's total box office, formed an alliance in Beijing to screen the film, which also marks the first time in China.

The premiere of Perhaps Love is scheduled for December 8 in Hong Kong.
