The 2025 Dragon Boat Festival holiday has already secured a significant boost for the Chinese box office: by 12:47 on Monday (2), revenues totaled over 400 million yuans (about $ 56 million), according to data from tracker Maoyan. The number represents a significant increase over the same period of the previous year.
The absolute ranking leader is “Mission: Impossible – The Final Set,” eighth film from the action franchise starring Tom Cruise, which raised about 165.3 million Yuans since the beginning of the holiday. The production has stood out as the great blockbuster of the season.
The 2025 program was also marked by the coincidence of the Dragon Boat Festival with International Children’s Day, which favored the presence of animations in the rooms. The date is always celebrated on June 1 in China. Highlights include “Doraemon: Nobita’s Art World Tales”, Chinese animation “Endless Journey of Love” and Disney’s new live-action version for “Lilo & Stitch“which completed the top 4 of the box office.
Celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, this year’s dragon boat festival began on May 31 and runs until June 2, moving not only theaters, but also tourism and commerce in the country.
