A Chinese domestic film finally knocked "Jurassic World" off the top of mainland China’s box office last week, as competition from the Universal Pictures film began to wane after 26 days in theaters in China.
After dominating the mainland box office for three consecutive weeks since its June 10 release in China, "Jurassic World" generated a modest $19 million last week and took third place, according to figures from Shanghai-based consulting firm Artisan Gateway.
But the film’s cumulative box office on the mainland still reached $222 million, approaching the $224 million “Avatar” grossed in 2010. With five days left in theaters in China, "Jurassic World" has a chance to challenge the $236 million taken in by “Avengers: Age of Ultron” earlier this year and become the second-highest-grossing movie on the mainland.
