China’s National Day holiday box office has smashed records, raking in over 1.1 billion yuan (≈$155M) by Saturday evening, according to real-time platform data. The eight-day holiday, which began October 1, is a cinematic battleground for blockbusters, and this year’s champion is the homegrown war epic ‘The Volunteers: Peace at Last’ 🎥.
Directed by Chen Kaige, the film wraps up his trilogy about China’s role in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953). Mixing battlefield drama with high-stakes diplomacy, it’s become the must-see flick for holiday moviegoers. 🍿
With theaters packed and rival studios scrambling, the holiday season continues to prove why China’s film industry is a global heavyweight. Will this momentum last through the Golden Week finale? Stay tuned! 👀
