The Chinese box office went crazy over the Year of the Snake Lunar Holiday, with a massive $1.24 billion take - a 234% increase over last year's results.

An animated sequel, entitled 'Ne Zha 2', lead the way with a $434 million gross over the seven-day holiday period.
In addition, the next four top grossers, none of which were Hollywood productions, were:
'Detective Chinatown 1900' - $253.1 million.
'Creation of the Gods 2' - $124.3 million.
'Boonie Bears' - $57.9 million
'Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants' - $41.4 million

It appears that blockbusters are back in China and bigger than the most optimistic of forecasts. This indicates that the soft 2024 was a result of supply and not demand - let's hope this is the case in the U.S. market over the course of the rest of the year. It may be that U.S. exhibitors start booking Chinese films.
