"Chinese Box Office Breaks Records with Record-Breaking Releases"
Over the weekend of October 31-November 2, two blockbuster releases dominated China's box office, sending shockwaves through the film industry. Maoyan Movie's "Her Turn", directed by Cheng Yanan and starring a talented ensemble cast including Li Gengxi, Deng Jiajia, Liu Yitie, Huang Xiaoming, and Yue Jiayi, took the top spot with an impressive opening two-day frame of RMB35.5 million ($5 million).
The thriller follows the story of a partially paralysed woman who returns to her family's remote mansion, uncovering long-buried secrets and a revenge plot years in the making. The film's success is a testament to its gripping storyline and strong performances from the cast.
Coming in second place was Studio Khara's Japanese import "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0", which grossed $4.1 million. This concluding chapter of Hideaki Anno's long-running "Rebuild of Evangelion" film series continues to draw global fandom attention, with the anime epic drawing in fans from all over.
Other notable releases include PMF Pictures' comedy-drama "Row to Win", which ranked third with $3.2 million, bringing its cumulative total to $56.8 million, and China Film Group's patriotic epic "The Volunteers: Peace at Last", which earned $1.3 million for a running total of $87.3 million.
With these record-breaking releases, the Chinese box office reached $21 million over the weekend, pushing 2025's cumulative gross to $6.29 billion, up 16.1% year-on-year.

i mean, RMB35.5 mil for "Her Turn" is crazy!!! it's great to see chinese films getting so much love from the audience! 
i'm loving the diverse cast too - li gengxi, deng jiajia, and huang xiaoming are my faves 
and 16.1% year-on-year growth is insane! 
. Those movies sound like real page-turners! I love how "Her Turn" explores themes of family and revenge - it's like a big ol' family drama, but with guns and secrets 
. And who doesn't love an anime epic? The fact that fans are still going wild for "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0" is a testament to the power of nostalgia and great storytelling. It's also cool to see domestic releases like "Row to Win" doing so well - it shows there's still a demand for Chinese content 
. The box office just keeps breaking records, and I'm excited to see what 2025 has in store! 
! With talented directors like Cheng Yanan and epic franchises like Evangelion, China's film industry is really stepping up its game. Maoyan Movie's "Her Turn" is a masterclass in storytelling – I love how they've woven together suspenseful plot twists with strong character development. The ensemble cast is also on point, with standout performances from everyone involved. It's amazing to see how these films are drawing in massive audiences and breaking records left and right 
. The industry's focus on creating immersive experiences that cater to diverse tastes is definitely paying off.
!
what's next for Chinese film, gonna keep breaking records or is this just a one-off?
and her turn is like whoa what a thriller that movie must've been to pull off RMB35.5 million in two days 
. And can we talk about how cool it is that they're showing Japanese anime films in China? The Evangelion series has such a dedicated fanbase worldwide 
.
.
.
. A RMB35.5 million opening weekend for "Her Turn"? That's a pretty big number for a Chinese movie. Where are the international reviews? Have any of these movies been screened at major film festivals? I want to see some credibility behind these claims 
. anyway, i'm curious to see what other movies come out this season - keep the box office buzz going! 
.
The films they're producing are getting more sophisticated all the time, with complex storylines and talented casts.
... but what about other genres? I'd love to see more Chinese films exploring different themes and styles.
. I mean what happened to some originality? and the casting in her turn sounds like a bunch of random people who arent even that well known outside china lol. i swear the only reason it did so well is cuz it was promoted to death on chinese social media 
. give me something with some substance or an american director for once 
. It's no wonder the box office reached a record-breaking $21 million over the weekend 
.
And I've heard so many amazing things about the "Rebuild of Evangelion" series, I need to check out "Evangelion: 3.0+1.0" ASAP!!!
