China Box Office: ‘Article 20’ Goes Top After Third Weekend as ‘Argylle’ Flops
Zhang Yimou's 'Article 20' climbed to the top on a weekend when Chinese films dominated the worldwide box office.
The four strongest Chinese titles that launched over the Lunar New Year holidays continued to dominate the mainland China and global office charts for a third successive weekend, albeit with a change of order that put Zhang Yimou ’s “Article 20” in top spot. Global box office tracking service ComScore showed “Article 20,” “Pegasus 2,” “YOLO” and “Boonie Bears: Time Twist” as ranking first, second, fifth and sixth, respectively, in the world over the latest weekend. The dominance by the top four was such that Chinese media reported that some of the other Lunar New Year-released titles – “The Movie Emperor,” “Viva La Vida,” “Huang Pi – God of Money” and “Bai Jie” – were pulled out of cinemas early by their distributors in order that they may be re-released later, at a time when market conditions are more favorable.
