Little Big Soldier Box Office Excitement

As of 2.30pm yesterday the official box office for 'Little Big Soldier' was 1.0175 billion yuan. Jackie is reported to have been very excited when told about the news and will hold a large scale celebration on about March 5th in Beijing. In addition mention was made of the possibility of making 'Little Big Soldier 2'

(Just a note about counting a billion - there are two systems of counting 1 billion: a short system where 100 million = 1 billion and a long system where 1 million = 1 billion. The UK and Europe follow the long system, the US followed the short system but has since adopted the long system, China follows the short system)

　　本报讯　(记者孙锐)上映12天票房过亿！昨日，电影《大兵小将》在北京华夏电影发行公司总部召开发布会，宣布《大兵小将》勇夺春节档华语影片票房冠军，并将于3月5日前后举办大型的庆功晚会。据华影老总谷国庆介绍，他们已经在第一时间将《大兵小将》的票房成绩通知到了成龙，成龙对此也显得异常兴奋，并表示这更加增添了自己拍摄《大兵小将II》的信心。

　　据介绍，考虑到不久前的“虚假票房”事件，负责《大兵小将》发行的华影特意开发了一套世界领先的票房统计软件。谷总介绍，截至昨日下午14点30分，《大兵小将》的票房达到了1.0175亿余元，而且在春节长假后的几天，每天的票房都稳定在200万上下。
