As the 2025 Spring Festival unfolds, theaters across the Chinese mainland are experiencing record-breaking performances. According to movie data platform Beacon Pro, by February 4, the Spring Festival box office — including pre-sales — has surpassed an impressive 9 billion yuan (around $1.24 billion).
The festive season, spanning from January 28 to February 4, has been a blockbuster hit with daily box-office sales exceeding 1 billion yuan for six consecutive days. This remarkable achievement not only highlights the growing appetite for cinema among audiences but also cements the Chinese mainland film market's position as the world's leading box office for 2025 so far, outpacing the traditionally dominant North American market.
