- The Furious (Edko Films) claimed #1 at the China box office June 12–14 with RMB76.1M ($11.2M), per Artisan Gateway; the Kenji Tanigaki–directed action thriller has earned $13.9M cumulative since its June 11 debut.
- Dear You (Jinant Film & TV) fell to #2, adding $8.9M for a lifetime gross of $255.7M since its April 30 launch — a word-of-mouth family drama that other coverage notes has now been picked up by CMC Pictures for North America, Australia, and New Zealand release, an international angle the source article omits.
- Universal's Disclosure Day, the new Steven Spielberg film, opened third in China with $2.9M over its first three-day frame.
- Vanishing Point (Zhonghe Qiancheng) held fourth with $1.8M, pushing its cumulative total to $80M.
- Studiocanal's WWII drama Pressure rounded out the top five with $500K in its second weekend, reaching $2.4M total.
- Mainland China's overall weekend grosses hit $28.8M, while 2026 year-to-date revenue stands at $2.41B — down 41.8% from the same period in 2025.
Why it matters: The 41.8% year-to-date decline against 2025 underscores how steep China's theatrical slump remains: even with 'Dear You' posting a $255.7M lifetime and 'Vanishing Point' clearing $80M, the overall $2.41B YTD means a Hollywood tentpole like 'Disclosure Day' can open with just $2.9M in the world's second-largest market — a stark signal for studios weighing China exposure in their release strategies.
