The China box office saw a competitive weekend from April 11 to 13, with several films battling for the top spot. Meila Media’s drama “We Girls” narrowly led the chart, bringing in 33.4 million yuan or about 4.6 million dollars in its second weekend.
Thanks to continued strong performance, “We Girls” has now earned 20 million dollars. The film, directed by Feng Xiaogang, focuses on Gao Yuexiang, a mother who ends up in prison after a desperate move to pay for her daughter’s cochlear implant. Inside, she meets four other women — Hei Mei, Deng Hong, Hu Ping, and Guo Aimei — who all come from different backgrounds. Together, they form a bond and support one another through difficult times.
Meanwhile, in second place, “A Minecraft Movie” from Warner Bros. and Legendary collected 4.4 million dollars. Since its April 4 release, the game-inspired movie has totaled 20.6 million dollars. The film continues to attract younger audiences and fans of the popular video game.
“Ne Zha 2” held third place in its eleventh weekend. It earned 3.3 million dollars, pushing its total earnings to 2.11 billion yuan. The animated feature has remained a huge hit and is still the biggest title at the China box office in 2025 so far.
Drama film “Mumu,” from CKF Pictures, placed fourth with 2.7 million dollars over the weekend. Its total now stands at 14.6 million dollars. The movie tells the story of a seven-year-old girl growing up in a deaf community until her estranged mother reappears and reintroduces her to hearing society.
In fifth place, action-thriller “Fox Hunt” brought in 1.6 million dollars. Directed by Zhang Leo and starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Yihong Duan, the film follows a team of investigators tracking fugitives overseas. It has now made 6.3 million dollars in total.
Although the China box office reached 20.8 million dollars during the weekend, it dropped significantly from the previous frame, which reached 52.5 million dollars. Still, the year-to-date total has hit 3.48 billion dollars — up by 40.3 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
This steady growth confirms the China box office remains strong and is continuing to recover after the pandemic. The lineup of diverse films is helping to maintain momentum across different genres and audiences.
