"The Continent,” the nostalgia trip movie by celebrity blogger and race driver Han Han, dominated Chongqing’s box office at the weekend and quickly ended the reign of “Tiny Times 3.”
Released on July 24, “The Continent” delivered a super strong first day gross of 12 million yuan, before going on to amass 47.1 million yuan in its four day weekend run, according to local data source.
While it slipped from first to third place, “Tiny Times 3” was not far off the second place pace and added 24.7 million yuan for an 11 day total of 75.5 million yuan.
Splitting the otherwise all-Chinese top five was “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” in fourth place in its fifth weekend of release. It managed an additional 12.7 million yuan to give it an all-time record sum of 319 million yuan. It seems certain this week to become the first film ever in China to pass the 2 billion yuan milestone. Previous record holder “Avatar” managed 1.39 billion yuan in 2010.
