BEIJING (SCMP): China’s box office bookings for the ongoing National Day holiday period had surpassed 1 billion yuan (US$142 million) as of Thursday (Oct 3) morning, according to box office tracker Dengta Data, but the industry remains under pressure compared with years past.
This year’s bookings crossed the 1 billion yuan mark on the third day of the seven-day “golden week” holiday, which started on Tuesday, compared with last year, when the milestone figure was reached on the second night.
