As of Sunday, data from major online platforms shows the Chinese mainland’s 2025 summer box office has surged past 8.5 billion yuan (around $1.18 billion), marking a landmark moment in big-screen entertainment.
Strong presales numbers have set the momentum early, with audiences hungry for blockbuster hits and shared theater experiences after months of anticipation. This robust start highlights both the power of digital ticketing and the enduring appeal of cinematic storytelling.
Industry observers note that this performance not only signals a healthy rebound for the local film market, but also bolsters the global summer box office landscape. With more releases lined up in the coming weeks, the top line could climb even higher before the season wraps up.
