The Spring Festival blockbusters "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2" took the first and second place in the annual box office chart with 3.65 billion yuan and 3.39 billion yuan respectively. Among the top ten films with the highest box office in the mainland market in 2018, 6 were domestic films and 4 were imported films.

The box office champion of imported films in 2018 was "Avengers: Endgame" (2.39 billion), and the top three imported films were all superhero movies.
