‘2012′ sets box office record in China

HONG KONG — A publicist says the Hollywood disaster movie “2012″ has become China’s best-selling movie in history.

A spokesman for state-owned film importer China Film Group told The Associated Press that “2012″ has made 460 million Chinese yuan ($67.3 million) as of Dec. 23, eclipsing the previous mark of 450 million yuan set by another Hollywood blockbuster, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

Weng Li also said in third place is the Chinese propaganda movie, “The Founding of a Republic,” also released earlier this year.
