Dear You Viewing Guide
If you want to watch Dear You legally, start with the place that matches your region. Taiwan’s first public screening is set for the 2026 Taoyuan Film Festival, while mainland cinema booking depends on the current key window. The film also reached Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore on June 18, so local schedules matter more than a single global date.
Start with your region
Viewers in Taiwan should watch the 2026 Taoyuan Film Festival page first, because the film is listed there in the Special Screening section and is marked as its first public screening in Taiwan. That makes the festival schedule the most direct way to confirm when and where local audiences can buy seats.
For mainland viewers, the practical signal is the cinema key window. The current extension keeps mainland cinemas able to schedule the film through August 31, 2026, so the clearest official check is the local theater listing rather than a general online rumor or a foreign timetable.
Taiwan festival dates
The Taoyuan Film Festival runs from August 14 to 27, 2026, and Dear You has two screenings on August 15 and 16. Those are the specific dates to look for if you are planning a festival visit in Taoyuan.
Because the screening is part of a festival program, seats can be limited and tied to that event’s own ticketing rules. If you are traveling for the film, treat the festival page as the main booking entry and verify the listed session time before leaving home.
Mainland cinema window
The film opened in mainland China on April 30, 2026, and later received a new extension that keeps the screening window open until July 31, 2026, followed by another extension to August 31, 2026. For people inside mainland China, that means the movie can still appear on local cinema schedules during that period.
The extension is about mainland theater scheduling only. It does not tell you whether a nearby cinema will definitely program it, so the safest move is to search the current daily lineup of your city’s theaters and match the screening date with the active key window.
Overseas release timing
The film arrived in Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore on June 18, 2026, so those markets are not waiting for the mainland release schedule. Viewers there should check local theater chains and city listings, because the screening status can differ from one place to another.
If you are in another country or region, do not rely on the mainland extension date as a universal guide. The film has been reported to expand further to places such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, so the useful check is always the specific local cinema or festival page for your own region.
