John Woo<\/a>\u2019s \u201cThe Crossing<\/a>\u201d part I, kicked off in fine style the crucially busy December period at the Chinese box office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opening midweek, the star-studded period romantic drama grossed RMB30.1 million ($4.90 million) on Tuesday Dec. 2, and a further RMB11.8 million on Wednesday, for a two day opening score of RMB41.8 million ($6.82 million).<\/p>\n

Distributor Le Vision Pictures said that the picture accounted for 58% of box office receipts on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That should be enough to depose \u201cInterstellar\u201d which held on to top spot at the weekend from Hong Kong director Pang Ho-cheung\u2019s comedy drama \u201cWomen Who Flirt,\u201d which opened with $13.2 million between Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Crossing\u201d is presented by producer<\/a> Beijing Galloping Horse, LeVision Pictures, China<\/a> Film Group as well as Huayi Brothers.\u00a0LeVision is reported to have guaranteed a cumulative gross box office of RMB800 million for the two parts of \u201cThe Crossing.\u201d The second instalment will release in 2015.<\/p>\n

The big budget film, which stars Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Song Hye-kyo at the head of an ensemble pan-Asian cast, is the story of people\u2019s lives ripped apart by the revolutionary period at the establishment of the People\u2019s Republic of China. Many of them are on board the steam ship Taiping which sank taking emigrants from China to Keelung in Taiwan. The screenplay is by Wang Huiling (\u201cLust Caution,\u201d \u201cRed Cliff\u201d.)<\/p>\n

December is usually the busiest month for cinema going in China as the calendar year end brings out parties of corporate<\/a> backed outings and holders of vouchers tickets anxious to use them before expiry. This in turn usually means that releases of Chinese films are given priority by the country\u2019s media regulators and major Hollywood films can continue their runs \u2013 \u201cInterstellar\u201d was on 7,000 before the release of \u201cThe Crossing\u201d \u2014 but that new ones will have to wait till January. Korea\u2019s \u201cRoaring Currents\u201d is the only non-Chinese-language film to get a release the rest of this month.<\/p>\n

This week will also see the release of Chinese-made romance \u201cFleet of Time\u201d and action adventure \u201cTomb Robber.\u201d<\/p>\n

FTA can provide funding for overseas projects with A-list celebrities attached<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The blockbuster titles hit Chinese screens slightly later: Jiang Wen\u2019s \u201cGone With The Bullets\u201d releases on Dec. 18, followed shortly after by Tsui Hark\u2019s war action drama \u201cThe Taking of Tiger Mountain\u201d (aka \u201cTracks in the Snowy Forest\u201d) on Dec. 24.<\/p>\n

The joker in the pack is the Christmas Day release of a converted 3D<\/a> version of Stephen Chow\u2019s frenetic 2004 comedy \u201cKung Fu Hustle.\u201d It is currently unclear if, having seen the film repeatedly on multiple platforms, audiences will stay away, or whether they will buy into its familiarity and relief from the high-mindedness on offer elsewhere.<\/p>\n

FTA is looking to option scripts for Chinese production companies<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Even before the anticipated December bonanza, Chinese box office this year is 20% ahead of last year\u2019s 12 month total. Cumulative gross to Nov. 20 stood at RMB26 billion ($4.23 billion). The full year 2013 total was 21.7 billion ($3.54 billion).<\/p>\n
