over the latest weekend and brought to a close a deeply-depressed National Day holiday period.
Second-placed film “Ordinary Hero” earned just $2.2 million, giving it a ten-day total of $19.7 million. Previous top-ranking film, “Give Me Five” held on to third place, despite the volley of new releases on either September 30 or October 1. It collected $1.7 million for a cumulative of $60.8 million since release on Sept. 9, 2022.
The recent National Day holiday ran from Saturday Oct. 1 to Friday Oct. 7, with Saturday being a work-day in some business sectors. The latest box office weekend, then, contained one day of holiday and two normal days. The underperformance means that the year-to-date aggregate is slipping ever further behind that of 2021. According to Artisan Gateway’s calculations, the $3.85 billion total to Oct. 9, 2022 is more than 31% behind the $5.60 billion achieved at the same point last year.
