Busy movie theaters have never seen so many ticket sales, but insiders are saying it is too early to celebrate. Xu Fan reports.

China has overtaken the United States as the world's top box office for the first time, but some movie insiders are saying it is too early to celebrate.

Record Chinese Lunar New Year box-office takings saw an overall revenue of 4.05 billion yuan ($647.6 million) in February, making China, the world's second-largest market, surpass the US for the month for the first time, according to a report from Chinese entertainment research firm Entgroup.
