Action comedy Hollywood Adventures has made a grand opening with a taking of 55 million yuan, close to one million US dollars, at the Chinese box office.
Directed by Timothy Kendall, the film stars Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei.
The film follows the story of three Chinese tourists in Hollywood caught in a drug trafficking case because of a bag of rhinoceros horn powder.
Despite the big box office opening, the film has received mixed reviews with ratings of five out of ten on two major Chinese movie review sites.
A total of ten movies opened in Chinese mainland theatres on Friday, including Oscar-nominated Begin Again and Taiwan movie Hear Me which opened six years after its premiere.
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley and Adam Levine, Begin Again took only 800-thousand yuan at the box office.
The rom-com musical grossed 63-million US dollars globally.
Dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic World continues to draw big with an additional 22 million yuan added to its overall revenue.
Jurassic World has earned nearly 1.2 billion yuan in China alone, making it the seventh biggest film in Chinese box office history.
