The Chinese-produced Lost In Thailand was made for a reported $3.1M and doubled that on its opening day. With $6.26M on December 12, it set a record for a Wednesday release, says Film Business Asia. It also took $14.9M on December 15, setting a one-day record for a domestic film and set another record for number of screenings with a massive 33,000 showings that day. The road movie, which follows two rival businessmen who travel to Thailand, beat single-day records held by Painted Skin 2, Titanic 3D and Transformers 3, Twitchfilm reports. Its unofficial cume as of Thursday was $72.2M. Financed and released by Beijing Enlight Pictures, the movie was written, produced and directed by Xu Zheng in his feature helming debut. The comedy will nevertheless face strong competition this weekend with the release of Jackie Chan’s Chinese Zodiac and Andrew Lau’s The Guillotines.

pure entertainment for chinese audience, those who sufferd from too many artistic chinese film directors for such a long-long time, and the movie itself is just like THE HANGOVER, funny, ridiculous, and joyful!!!
Thanks for posting this Deadline. I would not have known about it otherwise and the trailer looks awesome! On a side note, is it me or do they look like the Three Stooges on the poster cover?
