China's box office revenue in 2020 reached 5 billion yuan: "Eight Hundred" accounted for 1.3 billion yuan

39 days after resuming work, the Chinese film industry finally made a breakthrough, with the box office reaching 5 billion yuan in 2020. Since the country began to lock down cities to deal with the epidemic on January 23 this year, seven blockbusters including "Detective Chinatown 3" were all withdrawn from the Spring Festival period starting on New Year's Eve, and the golden box office season was gone.

The same is true for the upcoming May Day and summer vacations. Cinemas across the country were officially unsealed on July 22 this year, with an initial limit of 30% occupancy, and only recently was it lifted to 50%. After resuming work, movie box office has been growing steadily, and the film industry has begun to recover. In the past two days, the single-day box office reached 400 million yuan, setting a new record.

As of the afternoon of August 27, 39 days after the resumption of film production, according to real-time data from Lighthouse Professional Edition, the total box office of theater movies in 2020 exceeded 5 billion, and the cumulative number of moviegoers reached 140 million.

Of the 5 billion box office, the recently popular anti-Japanese war movie "The Eight Hundred" has exceeded 1.3 billion. It has only been released for 7 days, and its box office performance is far ahead of other movies.
