Big-screen battle

Six films on the mainland are in the race for glory at the box office during the upcoming Spring Festival holidays. Xu Fan reports.

With the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday break around the corner, a number of films are set to hit the big screen on the mainland.

The latest online ticket-sales figures from the box-office tracker Maoyan show that the six titles set to open on the first day of Spring Festival, which falls on Feb 16, have already brought in 240 million yuan ($38 million) for that day.
