China's May Day holiday box office revenue has surpassed 700 million yuan (about $96.28 million) as of Monday afternoon, according to online film data tracking platforms, with Andrew Lau's "The Dumpling Queen" topping the chart.

The five-day holiday, running from May 1 to 5, is being led by this fact-based drama starring popular comedienne Ma Li. The film traces the journey of a Hong Kong street food vendor who becomes the founder of a household frozen food brand.

The second spot was filled by "A Gilded Game," a financial crime thriller from prolific Hong Kong director Herman Yau, starring Andy Lau and Oho Ou, centered on high-stakes fraud and market manipulation.

Completing the top three was Studio Ghibli's "Princess Mononoke," marking its first-ever theatrical release in the Chinese mainland. Originally released in Japan in 1997, this environmental epic is widely regarded as Hayao Miyazaki's breakout international hit.
