The Chinese box office was dominated by “Article 20” over the latest weekend, followed by “Pegasus 2,” “YOLO,” and “Boonie Bears: Time Twist.”
The impressive performance of these films has brought the year-to-date box office close to that of 2023.
“Article 20” led the pack with $40.1 million over the weekend, pushing its total earnings to $290 million.
“Pegasus 2” gathered $35.6 million, reaching a cumulative total of $432 million.
“YOLO” slipped to third place with $25.2 million but remains the top scorer of the holiday season with $463 million.
“Boonie Bears: Time Twist” earned $22.5 million, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise.
Other Lunar New Year releases struggled, leading to some being withdrawn early for a potential re-release in better conditions.
In contrast, “Argylle” faced disappointment in China, earning only $1.4 million for its opening weekend. Despite this setback, the year-to-date Chinese box office has reached $1.89 billion, just slightly behind the same point in 2023.
