The box office earnings for the summer theatrical release surged all the way forward, presenting an encouraging and steadily climbing trend. On July 23rd, the film City of Rock, directed personally by Dapeng, officially landed in major theater chains and reaped a striking 170 million at the box office on its opening day alone!
Not only did this film successfully cross the 100-million mark on its opening day, but it also won the highest screening allocation treatment granted by theater chains thanks to its overwhelming popularity. It was foreseeable that it would undoubtedly become the hottest, most anticipated, and most discussed cinematic topic of the entire weekend.
As it happened, the live-action animation film Monster Hunt, which had debuted on the silver screen a week earlier, performed equally brilliantly. Right from the start, the film swept forward like a broken bamboo to rake in a box office tally as high as 173 million, shattering the opening-day box office record previously held for a long time by The Monkey King: The Legend Begins and displaying formidable market appeal and audience attraction.
