The Monkey King 2’

China’s movie box office just smashed the world’s seven-day sales record for a single territory, racking up an astonishing $548 million in ticket sales over the Chinese New Year’s holiday period, plus Valentine’s Day on Sunday.

The record gross crushes the prior record set by North America six weeks ago, whenStar Wars: The Force Awakens lifted the territory to $529.6 million from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.

The record one-week haul also is considerably more than the Chinese box office generated for the entire year just one decade ago. In 2006, China’s total box office was approximately $327.5 million.

@JoeMomma29 - @JoeMomma29 - The Monkey King is a character from a chinese story called Journey to the west. He's like the Deadpool of chinese mythical legends without the breaking the fourth wall.

Movies based off the Monkey King:
The Monkey King 1,2
The Forbidden Kingdom
Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons
A Chinese Odyssey

There are more, but I haven't seen them yet. They have a TV show also.

it makes a little over $18 million more and in your opinion this is "crushing"?
this is why just anyone shouldn't be allowed to publish articles.

I wish these article headlines were more accurate.

The Monkey King 2 did not beat the WW BO record; three Chinese films together did.

Hong Kong hitmaker Stephen Chow's latest comedy Mermaid helped grossed $275.1 million for the week. Wong Jing and Andrew Lau's From Vegas to Macau III, starring Chow Yun Fat, came in second, pulling in $119.6 million in seven days. Fantasy blockbuster sequel The Monkey King 2, starring Aaron Kwok and Gong Li, also raced past the $100 million mark, earning $116.2 million.

Deadpool has been out for less than a week, so no, Monkey King did not "smash" Deadpool when Deadpool has already made 150 million.

I got to see this! The Monkey King is my favorite Chinese mythical character. A lot of good movies made based on the Journey to the West story.

LOL @ ALL THE HATE BECAUSE IT'S FROM CHINA.

I JUST WATCHED THE TRAILER AND IT REALLY DOES LOOK PRETTY AMAZING.

I CAN TOTALLY SEE THE DRAGON BALL'S INFLUENCE FROM THIS!

GOOD JOB TO STAR WARS, BUT NOW THE CANDLE IS WITH THE MONKEY.

@Gnoxorm - Like I said earlier, the Monkey King 2 did not beat the WW BO record; three Chinese films together did.

The article's headline is really misleading.
