38% year-on-year takings boosted by Rene Liu’s romance Us And Them.
The Chinese box office was set ablaze by the Labour Day weekend, which fell on Apr 29-May 1 this year, with record-breaking box office receipts of $157.48m (RMB1 billion) over three days, up by about 38% year-on-year.
It was a strong contrast to the lackluster month of April when ticket sales dropped by about 20.5% compared to the same period last year.
Us And Them, the directorial debut of acclaimed Taiwan actress Rene Liu, was the champion over the May Day holidays, taking $101.26m and representing about 65% of the total three-day box office.
