XU Zheng’s Chinese comedy Lost in Thailand will collect the Top-Grossing Asian Film Award at this year’s Asian Film Awards (AFA).
A sequel to the considerably less successful Lost on Journey by the same writer, a popular Chinese comedian, Lost in Thailand picked up 993 million yuan (NZ$192.5 million) between its 19 December release and year end, the cut-off date for AFA consideration.
