Two Chinese films – both patriotic, but of very different genres – dominated the weekend box office in China. Both scored more than $100 million and extended their already stunning midweek tallies.…
According to data from Artisan Gateway, Bona Film Group’s “” earned $103 million, narrowly ahead of the state-backed omnibus film “My People, My Country,” which enjoyed a Friday-Sunday score of $102 million.
The significance of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic and the orchestration of a triumphal pageant, meant there was little doubt that “People” would do well — despite its 254 minute running time. Some commentators have suggested that “People” could be the first Chinese title to exceed $1 billion grossWhat was harder to read was the degree of manipulation.

Artisan Gateway calculates a $244 million aggregate score for the weekend. And says that the year to date total is now 2% ahead of 2018, with $7.31 billion earned to Oct. 6. A week earlier, the running total had been lagging by 2%.
