China’s box office receipts this year have already hit the $1.5 billion mark, the quickest time it has done so on record.

This year’s record-breaking ticket sales are even more striking following the poor performances of the last two years. Receipts for all of 2022 totaled only 30 million yuan, a number that could be eclipsed as early as halfway through this year.
