The film stars Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie as the villainess.
Based on the 1959 animated film "Sleeping Beauty," the new movie is untold story of the evil witch.
Jolie says her children encouraged her to take the role and literally helped her find her voice.
"I thought about my children of course with this and as soon as I got the script, I gathered them around and told them the truth and I wanted to see if it would stick and how they would react to it. And they had such a strong reaction to it, it really touched me. And as I created her I kept running things by them, her voice and things."
"Maleficent" also stars Elle Fanning as Sleeping Beauty, who is cursed into a deep sleep by Maleficent on her 16th birthday.
The film is set to hit Chinese theaters on June 17th. It's also being reported Angelina Jolie will be coming here to China to promote the new film.
"Maleficent" opens Friday in the United States.
