The weekend of April 11–13 saw a tight race at the top of China’s box office, with Meila Media’s “We Girls” edging ahead to claim the number one spot. The female ensemble drama earned RMB33.4 million ($4.6 million) in its second weekend, bringing its cumulative total to $20 million, according to Artisan Gateway.

Directed by Feng Xiaogang, “We Girls” follows Gao Yuexiang (played by Zhao Liying), who, in a desperate bid to afford a cochlear implant for her daughter, takes a reckless action that lands her in prison. There, she meets fellow inmates Hei Mei (Lan Xiya), Deng Hong (Chuai Ni), Hu Ping (Wang Ju), and Guo Aimei (Cheng Xiao). Despite their differing personalities, the women form a bond, supporting each other through adversity and refusing to bow to fate. ​

In second place, “A Minecraft Movie,” from Warner Bros. and Legendary, added $4.4 million. The film, based on the globally popular video game franchise, has now grossed $20.6 million since opening on April 4.

Still holding strong in third, “Ne Zha 2” grossed $3.3 million over the weekend, pushing its total to $2.11 billion. Now in its eleventh weekend, the Cococartoon release remains a historic success and the undisputed box office champion of 2025 so far.

In fourth place, CKF Pictures’ drama “Mumu” added $2.7 million, bringing its cumulative total to $14.6 million. The film, directed by Mo Sha, follows a seven-year-old girl who grows up in a deaf community with her father and whose life is disrupted when her estranged mother returns and reintroduces her to the world of hearing.

Shanghai Film Group’s “Fox Hunt,” the action film from Zhang Leo, led by superstar Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Yihong Duan that follows a team of Chinese investigators tracking economic fugitives, rounded out the top five with $1.6 million, taking its total to $6.3 million.

Overall, China’s weekend box office reached $20.8 million, a significant dip from the previous frame where it was $52.5 million. However, the year-to-date total has climbed to $3.48 billion, representing a 40.3% increase over the same period in 2024 – evidence of the market’s continued post-pandemic rebound.
