China Box Office Breaks World Record With $548M in One Week
The record seven-day haul is more than the Chinese box office generated for the entire year a decade ago.
China's movie box office just smashed the world's seven-day sales record for a single territory, racking up an astonishing $548 million in ticket sales over the Chinese New Year's holiday period, plus Valentine's Day on Sunday.
The record gross crushes the prior record set by North America six weeks ago, when Star Wars: The Force Awakens lifted the territory to $529.6 million from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
The record one-week haul also is considerably more than the Chinese box office generated for the entire year just one decade ago. In 2006, China's total box office was approximately $327.5 million.
Be nice to tap into that
