The Sony blockbuster took $108.9m from its first three days.

Us superheroes have proven again their mighty power over the Chinese box office.

All thanks to Sony’s Venom, the week of Nov 5-11 saw a huge surge by 134% week-on-week, making it the first upswing after four straight weeks of alarming contractions in ticket sales since the National Day holiday in the first week of October.

Venom easily conquered the charts with $108.9m from its first three days, which represented over 70% of the week’s total box office in China and 37% bigger than its North American debut in early October.

Decline is the worst since September 2014.

Ticket sales at the Chinese box office fell below the RMB500m ($72.67m) mark for the third week running, triggering the worst decline since September 2014.

The week from Oct 29 - Nov 4 saw the box office drop by 6.5% week-on-week. Additionally, the month of October has slumped by a massive 40% compared to the same period last year.

In such a quiet week, Disney’s live action fairytale The Nutcracker And The Four Realms easily topped the chart but with an underwhelming $11.7m from its first three days.

Chinese box office sees 3% drop week-on-week for October 22-28.

The Predator, the first mainstream Hollywood release since Mission: Impossible – Fallout’s opening two months ago, failed to provide a much-needed boost to the lacklustre Chinese box office, which fell further by 3% week-on-week in the period of Oct 22-28 to become the second quietest week of 2018.

Despite the strong summer months, the Chinese box office has been in decline every week in October and almost every week in September. The month of October will record negative growth compared to the same period last year.
