China’s box office revenue for July 2026 exceeded 5 billion yuan (about $700 million), according to a report from IT之家 published on Friday. The total marks a strong month for theatrical releases in the country.
The top three films of the month were Kung Fu Women’s Football, Eight Immortals!, and Spider-Man: Fresh Start, per the same report. IT之家 did not provide individual gross figures for each title, only the overall monthly total and the ranking order.
The 5 billion yuan figure covers all films screened in Chinese theaters during July 2026. The report, sourced from industry data, indicates that domestic productions held two of the top three slots, with the Spider-Man sequel representing the sole Hollywood entry in the top tier.
IT之家’s report did not specify whether the 5 billion yuan total includes preview screenings or early August showings, nor did it break down the box office by week. The outlet also did not disclose how the July 2026 total compares to the same month in previous years.
The strong performance of Kung Fu Women’s Football and Eight Immortals! suggests continued audience appetite for local titles, while the Spider-Man film’s placement shows sustained interest in major franchise releases. No further data on ticket sales, screening counts, or audience demographics was included in the report.
What to watch next: Whether August 2026 releases can maintain the momentum, and if any single film will challenge the monthly top spot before summer ends.
