Pearl Studio’s animated fantasy feature “All Wishes Come True!” grabbed the all wishes come true box office crown in mainland China over the July 24 to 26 weekend, Variety reported, earning RMB314.8 million, or $46.3 million, in its second weekend.
The Mu Zhengyang-directed film has now reached $112.5 million in total, according to Variety. The family title mixes mythological comedy with an origin-story setup: eight ordinary people use courage and brains to defeat powerful deities and become the legendary Eight Immortals.
How much did All Wishes Come True make at the China box office?
Variety reported that “All Wishes Come True!” made $46.3 million over the weekend and has collected $112.5 million overall. That was enough to move it into first place at the mainland China box office.
Its rise pushed Shenzhen Film Studio’s sports comedy “Kung Fu Soccer” into second place in its third weekend, Variety reported. The Stephen Chow-directed hit added $33.9 million, lifting its cumulative total to $286.6 million.
“Kung Fu Soccer” follows an amateur women’s soccer team that brings high-flying martial arts into the professional game while chasing a major championship, according to Variety.
The weekend’s biggest new local title, Damai Entertainment’s sci-fi epic “The Decisive Moment,” landed in third place, Variety reported. The film earned $6.4 million for the weekend and has taken $8.6 million when early screenings from its July 25 launch are included.
Directed by Zhang Disha, who co-wrote the script with Hu Xiaoxi, “The Decisive Moment” was produced by Huang Jianxin and previously screened as the closing film of the Shanghai International Film Festival, Variety reported.
The film’s story runs on two timelines. Variety reported that Huang Bo, Gao Ye and Sun Yang play three Chinese astronauts in 2035 who become stranded in space on a return mission, with a mysterious encrypted signal tied to a 1970 aerospace researcher played by Wu Lei.
Universal’s “Obsession” entered the chart in fourth place with $4.9 million in its first weekend, according to Variety.
Enlight Pictures’ youth drama “A Part of Me” completed the top five, Variety reported, earning $2.7 million in its second week. The Ma Yingxin-directed film, starring Zhang Ruonan and Jolin Jin, has made $21.6 million so far and follows a friendship across 20 years.
What does the China weekend total show?
Across mainland China, weekend box office revenue reached $102.3 million, Variety reported. The country’s 2026 year-to-date total stands at $3.15 billion, which Variety said is 33.6% below the same point in 2025.
The latest weekend left a family mythological comedy on top, a martial-arts soccer hit still scoring in second, and a space mystery opening in the top three as China’s summer box office kept moving.
