Mainland Movie Box Office for Spring Festival Week

Stephen Chow's 《西游降魔篇》 (Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. Starring Huang Bo, Shu Qi, Wen Zhang) premiered on Chinese New Year, filled with humorous scenes. With an opening day box office of 76.8 million yuan, the movie defeated 《画皮2》 (Painted Skin 2) and became the Chinese Movie Opening Day Box Office Champion. From its opening day to February 12, it has totalled 207.5 million yuan, fully deserving to be the Spring Festival money-earning champion, defeating several other comedy movies releasing at the same time.

Valentine's Day and Spring Festival were very close this year. Three romance movies 《爱情不NG》 (Love Retake), 《101次求婚》 (101'st Marriage Proposal) and 《在一起》 (Together) released one after another on February 10 and February 12. Additionally, 《越来越好之村晚》 (Better and Better) released on February 10. Five movies fought over the box office for Spring Festival. Since the box office and attendance rate for 《西游降魔篇》 (Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons) steadily maintained in a high position, the star-studded
《越来越好之村晚》 (Better and Better. Starring Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung, Sandra Ng) took in a total of 15.78 million. Thanks to successful marketing beforehand, 《101次求婚》 (101st Marriage Proposal) starring Lin Chi Ling and Huang Bo took in 13.6 million on opening day.

《爱情不NG》 (Love Retake. Starring Li Xiaoran, Shin, Yu Shaoqun, Gillian Chung) directed by Zhu Shimao only totaled 3 million after 2 days in the box office. Meanwhile, 《在一起》 (Together) barely took in 2.9 million.
