It has been confirmed that Wes Anderson’s animated “Isle of Dogs” won’t be getting a wide release this weekend as some have hoped.

Fox will then platform release the film in subsequent weeks with an expansion on Wednesday, March 28th followed by a nationwide release on Friday, April 6th.

It has also been confirmed by Deadline that the film has secured an official release date in China with the film to open April 20th – only the third Fox Searchlight title ever to be released in China.
