With stunning presale receipts exceeding 85 million yuan ($13.1 million), the upcoming film, The Battle at Lake Changjin, is currently topping the country's presale box-office charts for the upcoming National Day holiday, one of the most fiercely contended periods for blockbusters.

A recreation of the title battle, a turning point for the Chinese People's Volunteer Army during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53), the heavy-budgeted epic will open across domestic cinemas in multiple formats, including IMAX, on Sept 30.
