Paramount's Bumblebee remained relatively buzzy on its second weekend in Chinese cinemas, earning $25.8 million to rocket past the $100 million mark.

The Hailee Steinfeld-starring Transformers spinoff will never match the central franchise's enormous local box office numbers — Transformers: Age of Extinction was a high point with $320 million in China — but Bumblebee is still an unqualified win in the Middle Kingdom. The film has rated highly with cinemagoers on online reviews forums, despite some grumbling among local Michael Bay loyalists about the new origin story being heavy on impactful storytelling but light on explosive Autobots/Deceptions collisions.
