The Monkey King 2, from Filmko Pictures, surpassed last year’s Dragon Blade, which previously held the record for the largest opening-week gross during Chinese New Year, with $7.3 million. “What a way to kick off the Chinese New Year holiday season at the box office,” said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment. “We extend a huge congratulations to our partners at Filmko Pictures and visionary director Pou-Soi Cheang on this record- setting IMAX opening for The Monkey King 2. There is clearly a strong demand among Chinese moviegoers to experience thrilling and entertaining cinema in IMAX 3D, and we look forward to this film’s continued success throughout China in IMAX.” The IMAX® 3D release of The Monkey King 2 will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology.
