Pop quiz: What's the #1 movie in the world right now? If you guessed anything except a propaganda film from China that glorifies the country's fight against American troops during the Korean War -- sorry, no gold star for you. The movie we're referring to is The Battle at Lake Changjin, which mere days after its release had already broken a string of Chinese film records.
Its release coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of China's Communist Party. And through Monday, according to CNN, the movie had grossed the US equivalent of $287 million. In addition to its status as China's most expensive movie ever, it also edged past the new Bond film No Time to Die to dominate the weekend's global box office. Not bad for a film most American audiences probably have never heard of, eh?
