A sequel to the 2017 film "Spider-Man: Homecoming," the blockbuster grossed over 223 million yuan (around 32.48 million US dollars), accounting for a bulk of the mainland total of 262 million yuan, and leaving a huge gap between itself and the runner-up "Spirited Away."

The Oscar-winning Japanese film raked in 19.3 million yuan on Friday, taking its total box office sales to 314.08 million yuan.

"Toy Story 4" ranked third with a daily box office of 6.15 million yuan.
