CRI听力:"Tiny Times 3" Topples "Transformers 4" to Top China's Box Office

Domestic twenty-something drama "Tiny Times 3" does what no other movie has done in three weeks; and that is unseat "Transformers: Age of Extinction" to take the top spot at China's box office.

Data recently released from Beijing-based media research firm Entgroup shows that "Tiny Times 3" beat out "Age of Extinction" to take in just over 50 million U.S. dollars in its opening four days.

The third instalment of the series beat out the total 47-million-U.S.-dollar gross of "Tiny Times 2," which opened in August last year.

Based on the book series of the same name penned by the film's director, Guo Jingming, "Tiny Times 3" continues the story of four females in their twenties obsessed with love, success, and living lavishly.

"Transformers 4" is still standing strong, however.

Holding second place at the Chinese box office, the robot blockbuster just surpassed the 300-million-U.S.-dollar mark in the Middle Kingdome in just 24 days after opening.
