Box Office: `RoboCop`, `The Lion Men` & `From Vegas To Macau` tops CNY chart

MGM and Columbia Pictures` Robocop opened here a strong $1.82 million for the No. 1 spot (Singapore, together with Malaysia and Taiwan are the only three Asian territories to open ahead of U.S., and collectively raked in US$5.5M). Jack Neo`s The Lion Men cashed in almost $1.2M, and also performing strongly was comedy From Vegas To Macau with close to $0.9M (it has since crossed the $1M mark).

The Monkey King (No. 4) starring Donnie Yen which only sneak peeked over the holidays (it opens wide 6 Feb) was fourth with $0.4M – you may like to know that in China the film has broken Iron Man 3`s US$17.3M opening day record and has set the best gross for a film on Lunar New Year`s Day.

Other CNY films like Huat Ah! Huat Ah! Huat! (No. 6), Golden Chickensss (No. 7), and Hello Babies (No. 9) are faring pretty decently given the limited screens available during the festive season.

Hollywood films that are still playing here include I, Frankenstein (No. 5) which added almost $300K for a local cume of $1.15M. The Wolf of Wall Street (No. 8) is also still playing with a 4-week gross now at $1.25M and Frozen (No. 10) shows excellent staying power having collected over $4.6m after 10 weeks.
