BEIJING, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- "Midway," an American war film centering on the 1942 Battle of Midway between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy, which marked a pivotal turning point in the Pacific Theater during World War II, led the Chinese mainland box office Monday, according to the China Movie Data Information Network Tuesday.
The film generated nearly 14.65 million yuan (about 2.1 million U.S. dollars) in the market on its fourth day of screening, bringing its total Chinese mainland box office to 127 million yuan.
