(01-03 12:37)

A low-budget, domestically-produced comedy has become the highest-grossing Chinese film to date. Xinhua news agency says the road movie, Lost in Thailand, has grossed more than a billion yuan since its December 12th release. Citing an independent monitor of box office figures, Xinhua said the film beat James Cameron's Titanic in 3-D - which was the most popular foreign film in Chinese theaters last year. The previous record for a domestic film was 726-million yuan set by Painted Skin 2, RTHK reports.
