BEIJING, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- Science fiction film "Gemini Man" led the Chinese mainland box office Friday, raking in more than 55 million yuan (around 7.8 million yuan) on its premiere day, the China Movie Data Information Network said Saturday.
The film, directed by Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, stars Will Smith as Henry Brogan, an elite assassin who is suddenly targeted and pursued by a younger clone of himself that seemingly can predict his every move.
"One Piece: Stampede," the 14th feature film of the Japanese "One Piece" animation film series, came second on the daily box office chart, generating about 46 million yuan.
It was followed by "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," a sequel to the 2014 dark fantasy film "Maleficent" with Angelina Jolie portraying the title role, which pocketed more than 35 million on Friday, its first day of screening.
