HONG KONG -- Celestial Pictures announced Friday an initiative to fully localize its 24-hour Chinese movie channel Celestial Movies for Indonesia.
From Sunday all movies aired on Celestial Movies will be subtitled in Bahasa Indonesia, and all on-air promotions will be fully dubbed in Bahasa Indonesia.
Channel was launched in Indonesia in 2003 and typically screens 200 first-run films and 300 older titles per year.
"The localization of Celestial Movies supports the growing popularity of the channel among Indonesian viewers, and allows viewers to enjoy the channel in their own language," William Pfeiffer, Celestial Pictures CEO, said.
Net is available in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.

Indonesia expels music mogul
Lou Pearlman, the boy-band mogul of the late 1990s who became a fugitive earlier this year, was expelled by Indonesian authorities Thursday and turned over to the FBI.
Pearlman was arrested on one felony count of bank fraud and appeared before a judge in Guam. He faces several lawsuits and two involuntary bankruptcy proceedings in Florida, where he built an empire by creating the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync and guiding their careers.
Pearlman is accused of defrauding about 1,000 investors of more than $315 million in a bogus savings-account plan scheme. Banks are asking for more than $120 million from Pearlman, according to bankruptcy court documents. Federal charges were filed in a criminal complaint March 2.
Federal and state authorities raided Pearlman's home and offices in February, and the bulk of his possessions were auctioned off earlier this week. His house is listed for $8.5 million.
Indonesian authorities, working off an FBI tip, deemed him an "undesirable visitor" and tossed him out of the country. Pearlman was apprehended at a hotel on the island of Bali.
