Columbia Pictures' "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway" hopped up to second in China this weekend, but was unable to scurry past local sports drama "Never Stop" despite an extra day's lead.
"Peter Rabbit 2" grossed a relatively unremarkable $969,000 (RMB6.2 million) on opening day Friday but managed to pull in $7.8 million from 10,500 screens over the three-day holiday weekend, according to data from ticketing agency Maoyan.
Monday marks the national Chinese holiday of the Dragon Boat Festival, and will be
likely to bring further sales for the family-friendly film.
