The Four has so far raked in 150 million yuan ($23.5 million), leapfrogging domestic blockbuster Painted Skin: The Resurrection for top spot last week. But not all viewers of the film have given it the thumbs up, hinting at growing fatigue among Chinese audiences for kung fu productions.

CF: Release Date of "To Forgive" Announced
"To Forgive" is a story about a doctor, portrayed by Yu Xiaowei, who loses consciousness after a car accident and wakes up on a remote island.
Following the film's screening at the 19th Beijing College Student Film Festival (BCSFF), "To Forgive" will be shown at the Festival de Cannes which opens at the end of May. 

Law Kar-Ying joked that due to his facial paralysis he acted with only half his face.

The film is about how several senior citizens try to escape from a retirement home and pursue their dreams.
"Old people also have their own dreams," said Zhang Huaxun, who is also the director's father. "Not only should they live happily, but live with dreams."

Due to the strong performance of Hollywood blockbusters, local flicks screening in the same time slots hardly survived in boxoffice market.
