China Box Office: ‘Resident Evil’ Retains Top Spot Over Quiet Post-Holiday Frame as Local Titles Wind Down

“Resident Evil” remained top of China’s box office over 16–18 October, earning $9.3 million in its second full weekend. Its lead came during a quiet post-holiday period, as local releases lost momentum.

“Traces of Justice” placed second with $6.8 million, taking its total to $84.6 million, while “Mr. & Mrs. Pardon” ranked third with $4.1 million and a $50.9 million total. China’s weekend box office reached $26.7 million; the 2026 year-to-date total was $4.67 billion, 29.2% below the same point in 2025.
