China has achieved a historic milestone in 2025, with its total box office revenue, including real-time presales, surpassing 10 billion yuan (nearly $1.4 billion), ranking first globally—a landmark achievement for the film industry.
The country's box office revenue for the 2025 Spring Festival holiday has reached 9 billion yuan as of noon on Tuesday, setting a new record for the same period in China's film history, according to data from the China Film Administration.
Since January 29, when six films targeting the holiday season were released, the daily box office has exceeded 1 billion yuan for six consecutive days. Spanning genres including mythology, comedy, and action, these films have attracted a record number of moviegoers.
All the top-grossing films were domestic productions, showcasing the strength and appeal of China's film industry. This unprecedented success reflects not only the quality of the films but also the robust growth of the entertainment sector.
This remarkable achievement underscores China's growing influence in the global film market and points to a vibrant future for the country's cultural industries.
