Pic stars Ge You, Fan Bingbing, Vivian Wu, Guo Tao and Mei Ting, and was produced by Sil-Metropole and Media Asia.
Its success is a surprise because it wasn't widely advertised and had stiff competition from Dante Lam's "The Beast Stalker," Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" and Mathieu Kassovitz's "Babylon A.D.", all of which breached the 10 million-yuan threshold.
Shooting was reportedly blighted by a clash of personalities between Ge, one of China's top comic actors, and Ma, who is emerging as one of the country's strongest femme directors.
