Jinant Film & TV

Jinant Film & TV’s family drama “Dear You” ascended to the top spot at the China box office during the May 8–10 weekend, earning RMB62.6 million ($9.2 million), according to data from Artisan Gateway.

Released on April 30 as part of the May Day holiday slate, the film has now reached a cumulative total of $20.1 million. Directed by Lan Hongchun and starring Li Sitong and Wang Yantong, the story centers on Grandma Ye Shurou, a woman from the Chaoshan region whose quiet twilight years are upended when her debt-ridden grandson, Xiaowei, travels to Thailand to find his rumored billionaire grandfather. The search uncovers a hidden love affair spanning half a century, revealing that the person Grandma had been exchanging letters with for decades was a stranger.
