Imax reported its second-best opening day ever for the Chinese New Year holiday with $7M in box office across the IMAX China network on Sunday. China Film Group’s "The Wandering Earth 2" – the prequel to 2019’s "The Wandering Earth" – led the way with $6M. Imax opening day box office for "The Wandering Earth 2" was nearly double the opening day haul for its predecessor, and Imax locations delivered 8.5% of the film’s first day gross on only 1% of screens. Imax’s results were further amplified with the success of a trio of films, including "Full River Red", the period drama that marks the fifth collaboration between Imax and director Zhang Yimou.
