House of Flying Daggers Sets Chinese Box Office Record!
Zhang Yimou's martial arts epic The House of Flying Daggers has just set a Chinese box office record, bringing in $6.7 million while playing on only 360 screens. That's a mighty impressive per screen daily average of $6203 US. On a per dollar basis that's slightly better than Spider-man 2 did in the US this weekend, but when you factor in the fact that Chinese theaters don't charge anywhere close to as much for admission as North American theaters do - this is, after all, a country where new non-bootleg DVDs sell for as little as $3 - Daggers just kicked all sorts of ass in terms of ticket sales. Oh ... and the previous record holder? That'd be Yimou's Hero. Which Miramax has just officially pushed back another week to August 27th in the US.
