3D Erotic Film Kills Box Office Record Set by "Avatar" in Hong Kong

More often than not erotic films are relegated to certain theaters, but that certainly isn’t the case for 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, released in Hong Kong. The first-day gross of the film beat the debut of… Avatar?!


Yes, you read correctly. NPR reports that the 3D film made an equivalent of $360,000 in its first day of release in Hong Konw, beating the James Cameron-helmed sci-fi flick, which pulled in $340,000 in that country on opening day.

The film derives from a 1991 film called Sex and Zen; that film’s executive producer, Stephen Shiu Sr., had this to say:

"We met people's expectations. People have always thought that you need 3-D technology for this kind of content. So people were very curious.”

Does this mean that more films of a similar nature will get made in the future?
