<p>Amazon Studios’s Oscar-winning film <em>Manchester by the Sea</em> has passed censorship in China and could be heading to screens here soon, sources familiar with the matter told <em>China Film Insider</em>.</p>
<p>The news comes just a day after <em>The Lost City of Z</em>, which also comes from Amazon Studios and Bleecker Street was also approved for Chinese cinemas, though a release date is yet to be announced.</p>
<p><em>Manchester by the Sea</em>, which also stars Michelle Williams, is the story of what happens after an uncle is asked to take care of his nephew after the death of the boy’s father.</p>
<p>The critically acclaimed film which was sold to Amazon for US$10 million, crossed the $75 million global box office milestone earlier this year. The film’s international rollout is still underway and is also set to open in Japan on May 13.</p>
<p>Amazon became the first online streaming service to win an Academy Award when took home Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay for <em>Manchester By The Sea</em>, as well as Best Foreign Language Film for Asghar Farhadi’s <em>The Salesman</em>.</p>
<p>In March, video streaming service iQiyi announced it had secured exclusive streaming rights to Academy Award-winning films <em>Moonlight</em> and <em>La La Land</em> as well as the best foreign language film, <em>The Salesman</em>.</p>
<p>Late last year, internet giant Tencent picked up the rights to Amazon Studios-produced eight-episode drama <em>The Collection</em> to stream on their QQ platform, which boasts over than 830 million active accounts.</p>
<p>At least six other foreign movies are said to have been given the nod from Chinese censors including The <em>Lost City of Z</em>, Warner Bros.’ <em>Wonder Woman</em>, Universal Pictures’ <em>The Mummy</em>, Lionsgate’s <em>Unlocked</em> and <em>Aftermath</em>, as well as Disney’s <em>Cars 3</em>.</p>
