China Box Office: ‘Be My Friend’ Opens Ahead of ‘Furiosa’ and ‘Civil War’ on Dragon Boat Holiday Weekend


On a weekend complicated by staggered releases and an upcoming holiday, ‘Be My Friend’ beat ‘Furiosa’ and ‘Civil War’ at the China box office.

“ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ” enjoyed one day at the top of the mainland Chinabox office before being deposed by a crop of local new releases that opened in time for the Dragon Boat holiday. As China’s box office becomes increasingly seasonal, even minor holidays are gaining importance for cinema release schedules. The previous weekend’s winner “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Earth Symphony,” benefited from the ‘Children’s Day’ celebrations – normally considered only a minor public holiday.
