Space comedy Moon Man held on to the top spot at the mainland China box office for a third weekend. It has now accumulated 363 million.
Released on July 29, “Moon Man” earned RMB217 million (32.4 million) between Friday and Sunday earning some 45 of the nationwide weekend total, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway.
The film’s invulnerability underlines once again how the Chinese exhibition and distribution sector has become focused on major hits and top-heavy.
There could scarcely be more powerful demonstration of that than the photographs carried over the weekend by Mainland Chinese of Hong Kong star Louis Koo apparently in tears over the disappointing box office stars for “Warriors of Future,” the sci-fi fantasy that he starred in, financed and produced.
“Warriors” opened in second place on the weekend of Aug. 5, 2022, and over the latest session fell to third place. It earned 12.0 million (compared with an opening shot of 20.8 million.

Sony’s Bullet Train was the global and international box office leader for the studios during its sophomore frame with an added 17M from 61 overseas markets for an offshore cume of 60M and global riding the rails past 100M for 114.5M through Sunday.
The international holdover markets dropped 40; word of mouth is good and there’s track ahead for the Brad Pitt-starrer as Korea, Italy and Japan are still to come. Korea’s Yonhap news agency this week dedicated a story to the fact that Pitt is due to visit the market for the first time in eight years, reportedly jetting in to promote the film later this week.
France was the lead market on BT this weekend with 1.7M (though locally Toei’s One Piece Film: Red caused a ruckus with what we hear was a No. 1 start at 3.34M). The French cume on BT is 5.8M. The UK is currently at 6M.
