Chinese Mermaid Gross Over 500 Million
Steven Chow's "Mermaid" at the box office set a new all-time record at the box office in China. According to Variety, its home box office gross exceeded 3.3 billion yuan ($ 502 million). The painting managed to achieve this result in just 27 days. The previous record holder was the movie "Monster Hunt", which earned $ 382 million at one time. And the third place goes to the Hollywood action movie "Fast and Furious 7." It is worth noting that the state-owned China Film Group, which oversees the national movie market, extended the release of Rusalka for another three months, which will allow it to take advantage of the May holidays, and therefore, additional records should be expected from the Chow project. Thanks to the success of Mermaid, the February box office grossed more than $ 1 billion in the Chinese box office. By comparison, in the North American box office, cumulative gross receipts for February reached $ 810 million. Let us remind you that while maintaining the current growth dynamics, the Chinese box office will exceed the American one by the end of 2017.
