Moviegoers stand next to a poster of the movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction, at the Yichang Tianhe International Cinema in Yichang city, central Chinas Hubei province, 30 June 2014. Michael Bays Transformers: Age of Extinction has earned more than 600 million yuan (HK$750 million) since its debut on the mainland on Friday, an opening weekend record, according to state media. The box-office smash follows a warning by a top state film official that cinemas should not focus too much on Hollywood fare, as home-grown productions might suffer. Age of Extinction took in 188 million yuan in ticket sales on its first day of release and 224 million yuan on Saturday (28 June 2014). The fourth instalment in the franchise, part of which was shot in Hong Kong, is drawing close to X-Men: Days of Future Past, which has grossed 721.5 million yuan since it was released on May 16, according to EntGroup, a Beijing research company specialising in the mainland film industry.
