Mainland China’s cinema box office slowed to a lukewarm 75 million nationwide total over the weekend as theaters awaited new titles to replace the blockbusters that dominated January’s Lunar New Year holiday season.
Sci-fi thriller “The Wandering Earth 2” held on to the top spot for the second weekend with a 24.5 million haul between Friday and Sunday, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway.
