Sentimental local drama film “Lighting up the Stars” topped the mainland China box office with a solid $31.8 million opening weekend. It underlined the cinema reopening and industry recovery process that has been underway since the beginning of June.
That makes the film the fifth highest grossing film of the year and the top Hollywood movie this year in China. The Chinese box office took a steep tumble from the beginning of March when COVID cases began to rise and China’s zero tolerance policy caused cities to be locked down and cinemas to be closed. That in turn caused many local films to cancel their planned theatrical outings. “Lighting Up the Stars” had originally been scheduled to release in April.
