Genre films blooming at box office across China

With horror flick after road movie, China's domestic filmmaking seems to have found new inspiration for its box-office rivalry with Hollywood.

The Continent, which follows two young men's adventures as they travel across China, was crowned last week's box-office champion with 300 million yuan ($48 million) earned from last Thursday to Sunday.

In an industry obsessed with blockbusters, Chinese-language genre films have burst onto the stage.
