China's box office over the three-day New Year holiday exceeded 550 million yuan (79.9 million U.S. dollars.) Leading the box office is the highly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water, which has raked in more than 270 million yuan (39.2 million U.S. dollars) during the holiday. Other front runners include sci-fi fantasy romance Someday or One Day and Chinese comedy Better Man. Statistics show that 85 percent of the country's cinemas have resumed business. Industry insiders are looking forward to the upcoming Spring Festival as more new movies will be hitting the big screen. CGTN visits a cinema in Beijing and talks to some audiences.
