虽已迈入新年，堪称2012年最火爆的电影《人在囧途之泰囧》仍在刷新票房纪录。元旦假期结束后，《泰囧》票房已突破11亿元人民币，创下中国内地国产票房新纪录。
Beijing (CNS) – "Lost in Thailand," the dark horse of China's 2012 year-end film season, has grossed more than 1.1 billion yuan since its December 12 debut, setting a new record at the Chinese box office.
The small-budget comedy directed by actor-turned-director Xu Zheng cost only about 20 million yuan (US$3.1 million) to make, but it earned a stunning 300 million yuan in just five days, marking the highest-grossing first week at the box office for a domestic film ever.
On December 15 alone it saw China's highest-ever number of daily screenings, luring nearly 2.78 million viewers and raking in 93 million yuan.
Film critic Gao Jun said that this season's films, including "Back to 1942" about a famine that killed 3 million people, and "The Last Supper" about a ruthless dictator, are too depressing. "Lost in Thailand" came at the right time, he said.
The film's total number of viewers has reached 30 million, surpassing "Avatar" and setting a new record in mainland film history.
