"Lost in Hong Kong," a Chinese comedy, has raked in 1.33 billion yuan (209.5 million U.S. dollars) by Sunday, becoming the top-grossing 2D domestic film of all time on the Chinese mainland.

The film, released on Sept. 25, is one sequel to "Lost in Thailand," the previous record holder since 2012 which pulled in 1.27 billion yuan.
