China Box Office Breaks World Record With US$548M in One Week1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe seven-day haul is more than the Chinese box office generated for the entire year a decade ago. China’s movie box office has smashed the world’s seven-day revenue 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.
That eclipses the record set in North America six weeks ago, when Star Wars: The Force Awakens lifted the territory to US$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 US$327.5 million.
