The second part of John Woo's epic "Red Cliff" proved to a big hit in Shanghai on its opening weekend. Shanghai United Cinema Lines said the movie had taken more than 8.4
million yuan (US$1.2 million) at the box office since its release last
Wednesday. The first part was the highest-grossing film shown in China last
year, taking more than 300 million yuan across the country and 700
million yuan around the world. Part two of the film features impressive battle scenes, including one in which 2,000 ships are burned.
