Warner Bros.As noted here and there over the last week, China is having a record-crushing run at the moment. Thanks to four big new releases over the New Year’s Day holiday, the Chinese box office has grossed over $900 million last week. For reference, the week that Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened earned around $495m in total domestic box office in late 2015. And since all of the above-noted films were cheap enough to not require overseas box office, they don’t have to pander to outside markets. Those four newbies alone accounted for $894 million in seven days' worth of Chinese box office revenue.
