The films released for this year’s Spring Festival holiday (January 21-27) made up a platter of diverse genres: a historical twist-filled comedy, a sci-fi epic, an espionage thriller set during World War II, a modern romantic comedy, and two animations targeting different groups—one family friendly and the other more for grown-ups seeking a tearful movie experience.
By the end of the holiday, these films had yielded combined box office revenues of 6.76 billion yuan ($1 billion), the second-highest for the Spring Festival holiday in China, right after the 7.8 billion yuan ($1.16 billion) of the holiday period in 2021, and much higher than the 6.04 billion yuan
