Minions & Monsters Tops China Box Office

Universal Pictures' animated film "Minions & Monsters" secured the top position at the China box office during the weekend of July 3–5, earning RMB111.5 million, which equates to approximately $16.4 million USD. This strong opening performance placed it ahead of other releases in one of the world's largest film markets.

The second-highest-grossing film over the same weekend was the sci-fi comedy "Keep Real," distributed by Taopiaopiao. This domestic production garnered $10.5 million during its opening frame. Including revenue from its early preview screenings, "Keep Real" has accumulated a total box office figure that positions it as a significant contender in the current Chinese film landscape.

Data on box office performance was provided by Artisan Gateway, a firm specializing in tracking the global film industry. The figures reflect ticket sales from Friday through Sunday, a standard reporting period for weekend box office results. The performance of these two films indicates a continued interest in both animated features and domestic genre films among Chinese audiences.
