China’s Box Office Springs Back During Lunar New Year Holiday

China is showing signs of a box office revival as people flock to theaters during a Lunar New Year holiday unrestrained by Covid movement curbs, industry data suggest.

The country’s box office reached 4.7 billion yuan ($692.8 million) during the first five days of the public holiday starting Saturday, 6.8% higher than the same period last year, according to data from Dengta, a movie industry intelligence provider.
