During the Lunar New Year holiday, Chinese cinemas sold more tickets than before the pandemic, despite some restrictions on theater occupancy. China’s box office took in about US$697 million over the weekend, which included the first three days of the festivities. That represents a 33% jump compared to the same period in 2019.
Analysts attributed the strong showing to several factors, including the release of some popular films, such as the Chinese films Detective Chinatown 3 and Hi, Mom. Also, because of the pandemic, the government did not encourage people to travel this year and suggested look for more local activities instead.
過年期間，中國的電影票房再破紀錄，短短幾天就收入近七億美金，甚至跟疫情前的2019年同期相比，還成長了33%，成績斐然。
專家分析，過年期間的賀歲片檔期，包括《唐人街探案 3》、《你好，李煥英》，皆票房告捷。此外，雖然春節是返鄉高峰期，但基於防疫需求，中國政府不鼓勵民眾旅行，因此無法回家的人，多會尋找當地的娛樂，看電影於是成為主要的活動。這也讓中國更加坐穩世界第一大電影市場的寶座。
Box office原意其實是電影或劇院的售票亭，就是「票房」一詞字面上的原意，現在則用來表示電影或戲劇的銷售情況。

The musical was bad box office.
