Hong Kong funnyman Stephen Chow's "CJ7" was the top grossing
Chinese-language film in Hong Kong for 2008, according to data released
by the territory's Motion Picture Industry Association (MPIA). Pic,
about a poor Chinese laborer who learns important life lessons
when his son gets a strange new toy, took HK$51 million ($6.6 million)
at the box office from a seven week run in early 2008. The fantasy
film's gross put it miles ahead of the next highest
grossing Chinese-language film, John Woo's period actioner "Red Cliff:
Part 1" which managed a respectable $3.1 million cume.
