China Box Office: 'Monster Hunt' Breaks Opening Weekend Record for Domestic Film
================================================================================

**The 3D live-action/CGI fantasy epic grabs a huge $109 million in its first four days of release.**

Monster Hunt, the homegrown fantasy epic, has broken the opening weekend record for a domestic film at the Chinese box office, bringing in a massive $109 million (RMB 669 million).

The $40 million 3D film, which mixes live-action with CGI monsters, also set records for the biggest opening-day gross ($26.45 million) and biggest single-day gross ($29.84 million) for a Chinese film, vaulting the marks set by The Monkey King in 2014. Monster Hunt also grabbed $8.7 million from IMAX screens, yet another record.
