Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage” ran away with the weekend box office in China. The other significant opener “Annihilation” took third spot as Hollywood titles claimed the top three Chart places.
“Rampage” earned $55.1 million according to local data tracker Ent Group. It played on some 21,500 screens, which translated as approximately 125,000 screenings per day. The total included $4.5 million from 504 IMAX screens.
The score is one of the strongest China openings for a Warner Bros. title. Significantly, it was 34% better than Johnson’s “Jumanji.”
“Ready Player One,” now in its third week of release, added $14.5 million from 51,000 screenings per day. Its cumulative has now hit $193 million, after 17 days.
Faced with such competition, “Annihilation” could only earn $6.11 million on its debut. On Sunday its screenings count was some 41,000. The film’s marketing campaign warned viewers that children under the age of 13 should not watch the film unless accompanied by an adult.

More Berlinale coverage
Berlin -- The film industry habitually trades in fantasy, but the current global economic crisis means a sudden reality check, notably on whether the sector really is recession proof.
With credit tighter than a Jason Bourne action sequence, the presale market -- especially to the U.S. -- is tougher than ever, and equity investors now a rare breed, financing films in the current climate might require new approaches.
This topic will be tackled by a panel of experts in a debate hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, together with the European Film Market and Commerzbank, at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Gropius Mirror Restaurant opposite the Martin-Gropius-Bau.
"All the classic financing models are gone, kaput," said Helge Sasse, CEO of German producer/distributor Senator Film.
The financial crisis almost capsized Senator, but having come out of a painful corporate restructuring, Sasse is surprisingly optimistic about the future of film financing.
