## Resource

The China box office just got a massive shake-up. Universal's 'Minions & Monsters' exploded onto the scene, grossing an eye-popping $16.4 million over the July 3rd to 5th weekend. That's enough to snatch the number one spot from local favorite, the sci-fi comedy 'Keep Real,' which debuted strong at $10.5 million. This isn't just a win for the Minions; it's a huge moment for Hollywood's continued push into the massive Chinese market.
