Chinas total box office earnings this year have reached 15 billion yuan (2.22 billion U.S. dollars), largely generated by films released during the week-long Spring Festival holiday ending on Feb. 6.<\/p>\n
Topping the yearly revenue chart was The Battle at Lake Changjin II with 4.06 billion yuan, according to data from film data platforms.<\/p>\n
The Battle at Lake Changjin II is a sequel to the 2021 film The Battle at Lake Changjin, Chinas top-grossing title of all time that earned a whopping 5.77 billion yuan.<\/p>\n
Set during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953), The Battle at Lake Changjin tells the story of Chinese Peoples Volunteers fighting bravely in freezing weather as part of a vital campaign at Lake Changjin, also known as Chosin Reservoir.<\/p>\n
Comedy Too Cool To Kill came in second with 2.62 billion yuan. Nice View, also a domestic feature, ranked third with 1.38 billion yuan, immediately followed by animated film Boonie Bears: Back to Earth that raked in 971 million yuan.<\/p>\n
The top four earners were all released on Feb. 1, the Spring Festival or Chinese New Years Day.<\/p>\n
It took 139 days for the yearly box office total to hit the 15-billion-yuan milestone, much slower than last year due to COVID-19. <\/p>\n
