Previews for Universal Pictures and Dreamworks Animation's Kung Fu Panda 4 have generated significant buzz in mainland China, positioning the Chinese-themed film in fourth place at the box office a week before its official release. Despite this, the top two spots over the March 15-17 weekend were held by existing titles. Taiwanese crime film The Pig, The Snake and the Pigeon continued its successful run, topping the chart for the third consecutive weekend with earnings of $11.1 million (RMB79.1 million) and a cumulative total of $73.2 million (RMB520 million).
Dune: Part Two maintained its strong performance, earning $9.9 million (RMB70 million) in its second weekend, bringing its total since its March 8 release to $36.5 million (RMB259 million). Notably, $3.6 million of its latest weekend earnings came from Imax screens, contributing to a total of $12.3 million from Imax-branded theaters.
