According to data from Beacon Professional, this impressive achievement was reached by the morning of October 3, highlighting the strong appetite for cinema among moviegoers.
The rapid accumulation of ticket sales underscores the popularity of the holiday period, traditionally a prime time for blockbuster releases and family outings. This surge not only reflects the resilience of China's entertainment sector but also sets a positive tone for the remainder of the holiday week.
Industry experts attribute the success to a combination of high-profile film releases, effective marketing campaigns, and the continued public interest in local and international cinema. As the holiday progresses, analysts are optimistic about sustained box office performance, anticipating that the total earnings will exceed initial projections.
