The Chinese New Year film lineup is already proving to be a box office success, surpassing 500 million yuan in pre-sale tickets, with “Pegasus 2” currently leading the pack.
According to reports, pre-sale tickets for the film “Silent Witness” have also exceeded 10 million yuan. The announcement comes as Wanda Film announced that both “Pegasus 2” and “Silent Witness” are slated for release during the Chinese New Year holiday.
Meanwhile, some observers have noted the absence of female-led films in this year’s holiday lineup, sparking conversation about representation in Chinese cinema.
The strong pre-sale numbers indicate a potentially lucrative holiday season for the Chinese film industry, building on the momentum of recent releases. The pre-sale milestone was reached on February 9, 2026, according to reports from CCTV, Daily Economic News, and Xinhua News Agency.
