China's cinemas are now into their third week of reopening after a novel coronavirus enforced lockdown in January, and theatrical companies are operating with limits on the number of screens and with strict social distancing measures in place. Since the restart, China's box office numbers have been modest, and this weekend saw more of the same with a $17 million total gross according to local box office consultancy Artisan Gateway.

The rerelease of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar continues to perform well despite the difficult operating environment. Debuting last Sunday with $2.8 million,made $4.2 million in its second weekend to take second place, its gross once again boosted by its presence in higher priced IMAX theaters. Including its original run, the 2014 sci-fi epic, which stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, has now made $119.5 million in China.
