Universal’s “Minions & Monsters” debuted at the No. 1 spot at the China box office during the July 3–5 weekend, grossing RMB111.5 million ($16.4 million), according to data from Artisan Gateway.

Taopiaopiao’s sci-fi comedy “Keep Real” opened in second place, securing $10.5 million over the weekend frame. Including early previews, the film has reached a cumulative total of $11 million since its release. Written and directed by Xing Wenxiong, the satirical story stars Bai Jingting as Superman Wang Changhai, a superhero who is dispatched back to his hometown to form a combat squad. Facing a town where long-term peace has bred complex interpersonal networks and deep-rooted social courtesies, the naive hero must navigate high-stakes local etiquette and learn to develop his emotional intelligence with the help of a local branch director played by Wei Xiang.
