🎉 China's Spring Festival kicked off with a bang as millions flocked to cinemas to celebrate the Year of the Snake 🐍! On Wednesday, the first day of the Lunar New Year, moviegoers pushed box office sales to an all-time high.
By 4:23 p.m., the total box office revenue during the holiday had soared past 2 billion yuan (over $276 million), according to Dengta Data 📊. That's a whole lot of popcorn and movie magic!
This year, six epic films are hitting the big screen:
- The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero
- Ne Zha 2
- Detective Chinatown 1900
- Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force
- Operation Hadal
- Boonie Bears: Future Reborn
The first four movies didn't just break the mold—they each raked in over 200 million yuan in pre-sale tickets 🎟️, making this the most successful pre-sale period ever! 🚀
From mythology and epic sagas to action-packed adventures and sci-fi thrills, there's something for everyone. Unlike last year's lineup, which was heavy on comedies and dramas, this year's selection is a rollercoaster of genres. It's like a cinematic buffet, and audiences are here for it! 🍿🎬
So, grab your friends, choose your flick, and join in on the festivities. The Spring Festival is lighting up not just the skies with fireworks but also the silver screen! ✨
