Taiwan’s Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development (BAMID) has announced the submission of Cheng Wei-hao’s Marry My Dead Body for the Best International Feature category of next year’s Oscars.
The supernatural comedy with a crime thriller twist is the seventh highest grossing local film in Taiwan’s box office history, taking $11.3M (NT$360M), and also performed well when it was released theatrically in South Korea, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
The film, which is produced by Taiwan’s Calendar Studios and Bole Film, also landed in Netflix’s global top ten (non-English) chart during its first week of release on the platform.
