    Move over, Hollywood! China just left your records in the dust! In just five days of the festive Chinese New Year, three local productions pushed a total of $548 million, breaking the World record held in North America when Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened to unheard of numbers for a total box office of $529 million. Well, Stephen Chow's Mermaid did better ($271 million) plus Chow Yung Fat's sequel From Vegas to Macau III took the second spot with $119.6 million AND the fantasy sequel The Monkey King 2 raced to $116.2 million. All of these three films grossed more individually in five days than the entire run of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' in the land of the Middle Kingdom.

    Chinesers only discovered movies a few years ago...so they'll go and see any old shit now. :nono:

    It's like giving a dumb, starving man a shit-sandwich to eat and telling him it's great: he'll eat that alone forever more.

    China Don't count.
