MYTHOLOGICAL OPENING

According to Hong Kong Entertainment News in Review, the Jackie Chan/Stanley Tong flick THE MYTH, has had the second biggest opening in 2005 (right after INITIAL D) and has soundly trounced the last big Jackie Chan movie, NEW POLICE STORY, with a HK$6.2 million weekend opening. This despite mostly negative reviews for the movie.

NEW POLICE STORY opened last year with a weekend take of HK$5.7 million.
