Happy Twist wins another victory: The box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will exceed "Monster Hunt 2"

According to the latest news, the mainland box office on Tuesday, August 7, continued to break the 100 million mark, with the popular comedy film "The Richest Man in Xihong City" taking the lead.

The film has currently accumulated a box office of 2.16 billion yuan, and is about to surpass "Monster Hunt 2" (2.219 billion yuan), ranking sixth in the 2018 mainland movie box office rankings.

Several new films released last weekend performed well at the box office. There was almost no suspense that the domestic animation "Wind Whisperers" would break the 100 million yuan mark. Hirokazu Koreeda's "Shoplifters" also won 66 million yuan at the box office thanks to its strong reputation, which gave a shot in the arm to the long-term slump of Japanese live-action films in mainland China.

As for old films, Tsui Hark's fantasy film "Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings" slowly counterattacked and ranked second on the box office list, with a cumulative box office of 560 million. Although the film has weakened its detective reasoning and has been controversial, Tsui Hark is still far ahead in terms of visual effects and imagination.
