China Box Office: Daily Movie Box Office by Film (Maoyan)

Get daily box office for every film in Chinese cinemas, the world's second-largest film market, from Maoyan (猫眼专业版), the industry's reference box office platform. No login, no browser.

• Screenings and screening share, seat occupancy, average viewers per screening
• Running total since release
• Optional daily market total: box office, screenings and admissions for the whole country

History goes back about one year, and presale days up to about two months ahead are available too.
