China's box office hit a new record over the seven-day Chinese New Year holiday.
The official microblog of China Film News said today that there were more than 38 million visits to the cinema between January 31 and February 6 with a record box office of USD 230 million. That was an increase of about 85 percent over last year's take of USD 125 million, according to figures in state media.
The top two-grossing films during this year's holiday were both domestic ones: "The Monkey King" and a reality TV show-turned-movie "Dad, Where Are We Going?"
