China Box Office: ‘Transformers One’ Takes Top Spot on Quietest Weekend of the Year
At the mainland China box office ‘Transformers One’ took the top spot on a quiet weekend ahead of the crucial National Day holiday period.
It was the only major title to release on an atypical Friday that precedes next week’s National Day holiday season. That also made the latest Friday-to-Sunday session the lowest-grossing weekend of the year for mainland Chinese cinemas. On Tuesday (Oct. 1), it will be joined by: Ning Hao and Xu Lei’s comedy-drama “The Hutong Cowboy”; Lu Chuan’s sci-fi monster film “Bureau 749”; Liu Jiangjiang’s disaster drama “Give You A Candy”; Oxide Pang’s action thriller “High Forces”; Wu Bai’s crime film “Tiger Wolf Rabbit”; Zhang Luan’s Jackie Cha-starring action-comedy “Panda Plan”; Chinese animation “New Happy Dad and Son 6: Shrunk”; and “A Tapestry of a Legendary Land,” which is adapted from a stage production.
