This year the Lunar New Year film slot blossomed with variety. The Mainland's conservative estimate of the total film box office from the Lunar New Year's Day to yesterday could exceed 600 million RMB and set a new record. THE MONKEY KING (SAI YAU GEI ji DAI LAU TIN GUNG)'s daily box office gain was in hundred millions. Currently it has already reached 230 million RMB and might break 300 million. On vacation in the U.S., "Pretty Monkey King" Donnie Yen Chi Tan was concerned about the performance and often stayed in contact with the film company. Conceivably now he could relax.

MONKEY's Hong Kong box office trend was just as strong. So far it is already heading toward HK$10 million. "Erlang Shen" Peter Ho Yun Tung said, "I hear everyday that the box office is in hundreds of millions, not only am I happy but also very worried. This time 'Erlang Shen's' personality is very different from before. I am very worried that I would get yelled at on the streets." He regretted that due to a company vacation and fan meeting in Japan, he will not be able to attend the celebration in Hong Kong personally.
