Hi, Mom is the sleeper hit of this Lunar New Year holiday in Chinese cinemas, having taken 3 billion yuan (US$462 million) at the domestic box office.

While Detective Chinatown 3 was the top draw during the first few days of the holiday, Hi, Mom’s good reviews (it was rated 8.2 out of 10 on Douban, China’s equivalent of IMDB) and word of mouth helped it overtake the franchise film on February 16 to become the box office champion.
