Mainland summer box-office revenue hits record
Print Edition
The Chinese mainland鈥檚 total box office during this summer hit a new record of 17.65 billion yuan (US$2.47 billion), figures from the China Movie Data Information Network show.
In August alone, the film market grossed more than 7.77 billion yuan, up 13.71 percent year on year, with 219 million tickets sold, according to a report of China Film News.
This August was also the first month in China鈥檚 film history that all daily box-office totals exceeded 100 million yuan, said the report.
About 130 domestics and overseas films hit the Chinese mainland big screens during the past three months, of which Chinese animated film 鈥淣e Zha鈥 took the lead with total box office collections of 4.68 billion yuan by August 31.
The smash-hit pocketed more than 1 billion yuan in less than five days of its release on July 26. By August 31, it had risen to the second place on the all-time Chinese mainland film rankings, replacing the sci-fi blockbuster 鈥淭he Wandering Earth鈥 that closed at 4.66 billion yuan in box office collections.
Leading the single-day box office for 28 consecutive days, 鈥淣e Zha鈥 has earned a score of 8.8 out of 10 on China鈥檚 leading film rating platform Douban.
It helped ignite the domestic film market where imported films have won the upper hand since March and contributed about 1.14 billion yuan to the July market.
Overseas animated films were outperformed, such as the new live action-style remake of 鈥淭he Lion King鈥 and 鈥淭oy Story 4鈥, which raked in about 830 million yuan and 200 million yuan, respectively, by the end of August.
