BEIJING, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — Cumulative box office revenue at Chinese cinemas during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays (October 1-8) in 2025, including advance sales, exceeded 1.6 billion yuan (about 225 million U.S. dollars) as of Tuesday afternoon, according to online platforms.
This year's eight-day National Day holiday represents a busy season for moviegoers and a highly competitive arena for China's cinemas.
The current box office leader is the domestic war epic "The Volunteers: Peace at Last," the final installment of director Chen Kaige's "Volunteers" trilogy. The film recreates the intertwined battlefield struggles and tense diplomatic negotiations during the War to Resist American Aggression and Aid the Korean People (1950-1953).
It is followed by the domestic film "731" /Evil Unbound/, which depicts the atrocities committed by the infamous Japanese Unit 731 in China during World War II. The film chronicles the fates of innocent victims imprisoned by Unit 731 and subjected to inhumane torture experiments, including frostbite, poison gas, and vivisection.
A Writer's Odyssey II, the sequel to the 2021 sci-fi action film, is currently ranked third at the holiday box office. The film centers on the journey of a writer trying to cope with dual crises occurring both in the real world and in the virtual world of his fiction.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 300 films have hit theaters across the country, covering a wide range of genres, including history, comedy, animation, and drama. -0-
