China Box Office: Remade Crime Thriller, ‘A Place Called Silence’ Makes $50 Million Debut


Sam Quah's crime thriller ‘A Place Called Silence’ made a $52 million debut at the China box office two years after its Busan festival premiere.

It was given an early start on Wednesday and over its full-five day opening run amassed $52.8 million. The Taiwan-set film, which explores corruption, faith and forgiveness, is structured as a thriller about a masked killer targeting the students of a girls’ high school. That is a jump from the previous weekend’s $51 million, but still appears to be signaling a weak start to the summer season.
