Ip Man 3 fight its way to the top!
Within 11 days (24/12/15 – 3/1/16) of Ip Man 3’s release in Singapore, the film has grossed a record breaking S$5.7 million in box-office records. It sets another record for being the first Chinese movie to cross the S$5 million mark in 11 days.
Despite tough competition from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Ip Man 3 opened a week after Star Wars), Ip Man 3 grossed over S$765,000 on Christmas Day alone, setting a new record as the highest grossing box office for a Chinese movie in a single day.
The film is now looking to cross the S$6.5 million mark in gross box office collections.
[Synopsis]
Ip Man (Donnie Yen) takes on disciple, Bruce Lee, and engage in frequent sparring sessions to hone his skill after seeing great potential. Meanwhile, a well-known property developer-cum-street fighter played by American boxer Mike Tyson, challenges Ip Man in an incredible showdown of Wing Chun kung fu versus heavyweight boxing.
In a never-seen-before union of Ip Man, Bruce Lee (revived by computer graphics) and Mike Tyson, the past and the present unite as a tribute to two of China’s greatest fighters.
