\n\tDirected by Stephen Chow, the hit has reached a cumulative total of $214.3 million in its first nine days. The narrative marks a return to Chow\u2019s signature athletic slapstick, following an amateur women\u2019s team as they combine gravity-defying martial arts with professional soccer to storm a major championship tournament.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cKung Fu Soccer\u201d was the second highest grossing film in the world over the weekend. Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d the No. 1 film in the world by some distance, will open in China Aug. 15.<\/p>\n

\n\tPearl Studio\u2019s computer-animated fantasy feature \u201cAll Wishes Come True!\u201d debuted in second place, capturing $30.6 million over the three-day weekend frame. Directed by Mu Zhengyang, the co-production has amassed a total of $39.6 million since launching on July 18. The family-friendly mythological comedy follows eight ordinary mortals who must use their collective wit and courage to outsmart formidable deities, ultimately earning the legendary title of the Eight Immortals.<\/p>\n

\n\tEnlight Pictures\u2019 adaptation of 2015 U.K. film \u201cMiss You Already,\u201d \u201cA Part of Me,\u201d opened in third position, pulling in $13.6 million during its debut frame. Directed by Ma Yingxin and starring Zhang Ruonan and Jolin Jin, the character-driven film spans a multi-decade timeline, chronicling the emotional complexities, personal growth, and shifting bonds of a deeply resilient friendship that crosses 20 years.<\/p>\n

\n\tUniversal\u2019s \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d moved to fourth place in its third week of release, bringing in $3.7 million. The film has now pushed its cumulative Chinese box office haul to $40.3 million since its July 3 debut.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the top five, a theatrical release of Christopher Smith\u2019s 2009 psychological horror film \u201cTriangle\u201d drew $3.7 million over the weekend frame. Funded by the erstwhile U.K. Film Council, the mind-bending thriller has taken $3.9 million to date. <\/p>\n

\n\tMainland China\u2019s overall weekend grosses reached $132.9 million, while the 2026 year-to-date revenue stands at $2.97 billion, down 35.3% from the same period in 2025. <\/p>\n
