Domestic live-action animation "Monster Hunt," which is already the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time, continued to lead China's box office in the week ending Aug. 2.

Its total box office hit 1.81 billion yuan (about 291 million U.S. dollars), with 427 million yuan added in the week.

It surpassed "Lost in Thailand," a 2012 low-budget comedy, to become the most successful Chinese film on July 26, with more than 1.268 billion yuan in box office after its debut on July 16.

"Jian Bing Man," a domestic comedy that tells the story of an actor's experience in the film industry, came in second, grossing 151 million yuan, China Film News reported Wednesday. Its total box office has reached 1.01 billion yuan since opening on July 17.

Third place went to animated feature "Monkey King: Hero is Back," which reaped about 109 million yuan in the week. It is a 3D animated adaption of the classical epic "Journey to the West." Its total box office stood at 779.8 million yuan after opening on July 10.

"Lady of the Dynasty," an romance about a well-known imperial concubine in the Tang Dynasty ((618-907 A.D.), came in fourth during the week, with 92.7 million yuan in sales. It was released on July 30.

Rounding out the top five was domestic action-thriller "Wild City," which earned about 88 million yuan in the week after its release on July 30.
