Mr. Bean's Holiday, the last film by British actor Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, will hit the big screen on the Chinese mainland this summer.

The Beijing Times on Monday quoted the China Film Group as saying that mainland moviegoers will be able to get access to the comedy in late July.

The China Film Group is the country's leading distributor of foreign films.

Mr. Bean's Holiday premiered in Europe in March, immediately leading box offices in all screening countries.

It also topped Hong Kong's box office for two weeks after going on screen in early April.

It is the second film production based on the television series Mr. Bean. It arrives a decade after the first film's debut.

Previous reports strongly suggest that this will be the last Mr. Bean story.
