It will mark the first time a film has opened jointly in North and South Korea, and filmmaker Nelson Shin is thrilled.
"We made it together. We will watch it together. I couldn't be happier," he said.
Empress Chung was produced and directed by Shin, who also runs AKOM Production Co, the South Korean animation studio that has been animating The Simpsons since that show premiered in 1989.
The Hollywood makers of The Simpsons turned to AKOM to tap into a network of highly skilled South Korean animators who could draw the show and cut down on costs because of their lower wages.
