Don’t look for a China release for Thor: Love and Thunder, the seventh Marvel Cinematic Universe film in a row to be banned in China. While the Taika Waititi-directed film opened to a worldwide $300+ million, it is unlikely to be passed by the Chinese censors presumably because of LGBTQ references – the Valkyrie character coming out as bisexual and Korg fathering a child with another male. China decriminalized homosexuality only in 1997.

While certain cities across China have reinstituted lockdowns due to an upsurge of Covid, Shanghai has gradually opened cinemas and theaters with a 50% cap on attendance.

For the weekend of July 15-17, here are the top ten box office performers. Aside from Jurassic World: Dominion, there are no Hollywood films on this list.

Chinese serial killer murder mystery Detective vs. Sleuths comes in at No.1. Released last week, it made $18.36 million over the weekend with a total of $58.74 in 10 days of release including a week of previews. The story is set in Hong Kong and stars Sean Lau, Raymond Lam, and Carman Lee Yeuk-tung, and is written and directed by Wai Ka-fai.

No. 2 on the list is last week’s top film Lighting Up the Stars, which grossed $211.17 million in 24 days, with a three-day weekend take of $16.21 million. This is the film that is credited for China’s box office rebound, surpassing JWD as the local favorite.

Mozart from Space is a new entry this weekend. The Chinese comedy, also known as Mozart in Outer Space, stars Huang Bo, Rong Zi Shan, Yao Chen and is directed by Chen C. Cheng. A boy wants to be an astronomer; his father wants him to be a pianist. They quarrel constantly until an alien, Mozart, appears before them with a secret mission. The film has grossed $16.5 million over three days.

In fourth place, JWD grossed $2.86 million over the weekend and has taken in $150.66 million so far in 38 days.

No. 5 on the chart is Octonauts: The Caves of Sac Actun, a rereleased Netflix animated feature film from 2020 with a Chinese voice cast. It took in $1.54 million over the weekend with a total gross of $8.57 million over the nine days of its rerelease. It is based on the television series written by Vicki Wong and Michael C. Murphy and is about eight little cartoon characters who live beneath the sea and go on adventures. There have been five TV seasons and two feature films.

Rainbow Sea Fly High, a Chinese animated film, makes its debut at No. 6 on the list with a total gross of $0.75 million in two days of release.

Return to Dust, a romantic drama, released earlier in July, comes in at No. 7. It has made just under $1 million in 10 days. It was screened at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year with good reviews. Variety called it “a compassionate but cautious Chinese drama of rural lives ennobled by sacrifice.”

Jurassicland and Dinosaurs, another animated film also debuted this weekend and is eighth on the list. It has grossed $0.17 million in three days of release.

Ninth and tenth on the list are the Japanese film Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021, an animated space opera parody of Star Wars, which has earned $14.68 million in 51 days of release; and Ode to the Spring, a film about Wuhan at the start of Covid in 2020, which has grossed $4.24 in 17 days of release.

So far, no other Hollywood films have received release dates in China.
