Some interesting news has been coming out about Personal Tailor.which opened in China on December 19th and in limited release in North America on the 20th.
First off, it set a new opening day record for a 2-D film in China. After 6 days the comedy had earned the equivalent of $65.1 million U.S. dollars and was the top grossing film for the week of December 16-22.
In the U.S., distributor China Lion has been very happy with Personal Tailor's performance and is still playing it throughout most of the initial locations, including here New York City.
