Box office sales over the Chinese New Year holidays from Feb. 18 – 21 increased by 21 percent compared to the same period last year, resulting in whopping total revenue of HKD62.1 million.
The 3D Japanese animated movie “Doraemon: Stand By Me” headed the charts, perhaps bolstered by Hongkongers’ nostalgia following the recent sad news of the passing of Doraemon’s Cantonese voice actor.
“Triumph in the Skies”, a spin-off from a TVB series, was number two over the holidays, reports Variety.
Coming in at number three in the charts was “From Vegas to Macau II”, a 3D movie starring Chow Yun-fat that’s the sequel to last year’s “The Man from Macau”.
In fourth place was “12 Golden Ducks”, a comedy about male prostitution that follows the three popular “Golden Chicken” movies, about female prostitutes.
