The industry was blown wide open by news that felt like a depth charge.

This year's Spring Festival slot features a fierce competition among more than a dozen hot films. Though "Separation" didn't even rank in the top three for opening day box office—where the highest comedy film made over 300 million.

Yet, "Separation" only had 10% of the screenings!
