BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- High-grossing Chinese film "My People, My Country" has received an extended run of one month until Nov. 30 in Chinese mainland theaters, according to the film's distributor Huaxia Film Distribution.
The film had so far generated a total box office of more than 2.8 billion yuan (around 396 million U.S. dollars) on the Chinese mainland since its Sept. 30 debut, the movie's official Weibo account announced Friday.
A seven-part epic anthology by seven directors led by Chen Kaige, the film has ranked among the 10 highest-grossing films ever screened on the Chinese mainland, according to figures from the China Movie Data Information Network.
