CGTN: China’s 2025 box office tops global charts, sets new record

Published

on

CGTN published an article on China’s 2025 total box office surpassing 10 billion yuan (nearly $1.4 billion), ranking first globally. The article summarizes key data on the Spring Festival box office, reflecting the vitality and potential of China’s cinema industry. Focusing on films which are rooted in traditional Chinese culture and deliver cutting-edge technology, the piece underscores how this year’s Chinese New Year movies exemplify China’s cultural confidence and the industry’s innovative growth.

China’s 2025 total box office, including real-time presales, has surpassed 10 billion yuan (nearly $1.4 billion), ranking first globally – a landmark achievement for the film industry.

Meanwhile, the country’s box office revenue for the 2025 Spring Festival holiday has reached 9 billion yuan as of noon on Tuesday, setting a new record for the same period in the country’s film industry history, according to data from the China Film Administration.

The daily box office has exceeded 1 billion yuan for six consecutive days since January 29, when six films targeting the holiday season were released.

Spanning genres including mythology, comedy and action, the films on the top of the box office chart were all domestic productions, and the number of moviegoers also hit a new record.

Chinese cultural IP under spotlight

Leading the pack this year was the animated fantasy “Ne Zha 2,” the sequel to the 2019 hit “Ne Zha.” “Ne Zha 2” has earned over 4.1 billion yuan since its screening, cracking the top 10 in the Chinese box office of all time.

According to the box office forecast of movie data platform Maoyan, the total box office of “Ne Zha 2” is expected to exceed 6.7 billion yuan, hitting the top of the box office list in Chinese cinema history.

Directed by Yang Yu, widely known as Jiaozi, the film features Ne Zha, a popular young hero in Chinese legends and literature such as the literary classic Journey to the West. Born with unique powers, Ne Zha finds himself as an outcast who is hated and feared. Destined by prophecy to bring destruction to the world, the boy must choose between good and evil.

“The film is wonderful and touching, and the story is told really well. Chinese movies are really great,” said a moviegoer in Baoding City, north China’s Hebei Province.

Half of this year’s Chinese New Year movies are rooted in traditional Chinese culture, aiming to build a narrative system to present Chinese cultural characteristics, national spirit and national image, and showcase China’s cultural confidence.

The second installment of China’s blockbuster mythological trilogy, “Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force,” is based on the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) novel “Fengshen Yanyi (The Investiture of the Gods).”

The trilogy depicts the fall of the Shang Dynasty and the rise of the Zhou Dynasty in the 11th century B.C., weaving together battles between mortals, deities, and demons.

In late January, the film opened in the Chinese mandarin with English subtitles in over 180 selected theaters in more than 30 cities across North America, and across Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium, becoming an eye-opener for those unfamiliar with Chinese mythology.

When Chinese culture goes global, it mainly depends on the work itself and the core contents such as scripts, stories and characters, said director Yang Yu.

“These are the things that cannot be outsourced,” he said.

High-standard special effects

During this year’s holiday season, the audience has enjoyed a new level of audio-visual experience on the big screen. Among the six key films debuted at the Spring Festival, five are blockbusters with good special effects.

IMAX China set a new benchmark with 88 million yuan in first-day earnings, breaking its previous record from 2021.

Among the six films, five of them feature four special effects in formats: IMAX, CINITY, China Giant Screen, and Dolby Cinema.

The film “Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force” uses IMAX special format. In the movie “Operation Leviathan,” more than 50 large-scale scenes across the deep sea and land are meticulously built, exploring underwater shooting technology, and presenting refreshing high-tech weapons and equipment.

Growing appetite for immerse experience like IMAX and the cutting-edge technology, like artificial intelligence, are one of the trends contributing to Chinese box office success, said Tom Ara, a global co-chair of the Media, Sport and Entertainment sector at DLA Piper.

China’s film industry is no longer just competing. It’s innovating, he said.

Anderson Seamless Gutters Highlights Holiday Roof Protection for Valrico Homeowners

Published

on

A news-style release announcing Anderson Seamless Gutters’ warning to Valrico homeowners about increased roof risks during the holiday season and the importance of gutter maintenance.

Tampa, Florida, United States, 26th Nov 2025 — Anderson Seamless Gutters announced today a renewed focus on educating homeowners about the heightened risks of roof damage during the holiday season. As residents begin decorating their homes and preparing for winter weather, the company is urging the community to inspect and maintain their gutter systems to prevent leaks, fascia deterioration, and costly structural repairs. With increased debris from falling leaves and the added weight of holiday lighting, gutters often become stressed or obstructed at the time homeowners need them most. Anderson Seamless Gutters emphasized that a properly functioning gutter system acts as a home’s first line of defense, channeling water away from the roof and foundation even during unpredictable winter storms.

The company noted that many Valrico homes experience roof issues during the holidays due to clogged or aging gutters that cause water to overflow and pool around vulnerable areas. This accumulation can lead to hidden roof leaks that appear only after significant damage has already occurred. Anderson Seamless Gutters explained that routine maintenance, paired with modern seamless gutter installations, can drastically reduce the likelihood of moisture intrusion. By keeping gutters clean before and during the holiday season, homeowners not only protect their roofs but also safeguard their fascia, siding, and landscaping from preventable deterioration.

In addition to maintenance awareness, the company is encouraging residents to be cautious when hanging holiday decorations near gutter lines. Excessive weight or improper attachment methods can strain gutter systems, especially if they are already weakened or full of debris. Anderson Seamless Gutters stressed the importance of professional assessment for homeowners uncertain about the condition of their current setup. The company continues to offer inspections across Valrico and surrounding communities, aiming to ensure local homes remain protected throughout the winter months.

Michigan Drivers See Rising Demand for Transparent Transmission Repair Pricing

Published

on

A new Michigan-focused report from O’Neill’s Transmission and Auto Care breaks down the real costs of transmission repair, explains why prices vary statewide, and offers clarity for drivers seeking trustworthy estimates.

Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States, 26th Nov 2025 — A new resource aimed at helping Michigan motorists understand the true cost of transmission repairs has been released by O’Neill’s Transmission and Auto Care. As repair bills continue to vary widely across the state, the publication breaks down what drivers should expect to pay, why prices differ from shop to shop, and how vehicle type and damage severity impact the final cost. The release comes at a time when Michigan car owners face increasing uncertainty as modern transmissions become more technologically complex and labor-intensive to diagnose.

Understanding the Core Pricing Challenges Facing Michigan Drivers

For many Michigan residents, transmission repair remains one of the most confusing and financially stressful aspects of vehicle ownership. The new report provides clarity by outlining realistic price ranges for repairs, rebuilds, and replacements throughout the state—highlighting especially large cost spreads between entry-level repairs and full transmission overhauls. According to the guide, drivers often struggle to know whether they are receiving a fair estimate, particularly when facing unexpected issues such as slipping, delayed shifting, or total transmission failure.

The analysis emphasizes that costs fluctuate significantly based on factors such as vehicle make and model, transmission design, required diagnostic labor, and availability of quality replacement components. Modern 8–10 speed automatics and CVTs, now common in newer vehicles across Michigan, frequently require advanced tools and specialized technicians. This complexity places added weight on accurate diagnosis and transparent communication between shops and customers.

West Michigan Auto Shops Respond to Growing Consumer Demand for Transparency

O’Neill’s Transmission and Auto Care notes that the lack of accessible, Michigan-specific pricing information has contributed to confusion among drivers seeking repairs. By publishing a detailed cost guide focused entirely on the state’s market, the shop aims to set a new benchmark for openness in an industry where pricing often varies dramatically. The report also highlights the importance of thorough inspections, proper warranty coverage, and the risks of approving large repairs without first understanding the scope of the work.

In West Michigan, where winter driving conditions frequently accelerate wear on transmissions, the demand for trustworthy and regionally accurate pricing has become especially pronounced. The guide encourages drivers to seek out repair facilities that offer clear estimates, proper diagnostic procedures, and a track record of honest recommendations rather than sales-driven repair upsells.

A Resource Designed to Reduce Confusion and Protect Michigan Motorists

The new publication ultimately serves as an educational resource for Michigan car owners preparing for potential transmission repairs. By offering realistic expectations and outlining the factors that influence cost, O’Neill’s aims to help drivers avoid unnecessary expenses and make informed decisions before authorizing any major work. The report reinforces that understanding transmission repair pricing is essential to protecting both the longevity of the vehicle and the financial well-being of the owner.
