June 22, 2013: "Man of Steel" Soars High in China

Man of Steel "Man of Steel" took over Chinese cinemas on its opening day, taking 80% of the country's total box office on its release.

    Director Zack Snyder and star Henry Cavill gave the film a major publicity boost by appearing at a gala premiere at the Shanghai International Film Festival this week - a screening event initiated by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros, according to a statement released by the festival's organizers two weeks ago. The Superman reboot took $5.86 million (36 million yuan) on Thursday, according to figures from entertainment business analysts Entgroup.

    The film, which averaged 31 heads per show for the day, blew the many still-running Chinese releases aside, with its gross amounting to nearly ten times that of local heist film Switch, which was ranked second in terms of box office revenue for the day. Switch opened in China on June 9, took $522,000 (3.2 million yuan) on its first day, with total box office revenue now standing at $46 million (282.2 million yuan).
