The controversial film "Evil Unbound" grossed over 1 billion yuan (approximately $140 million) in its first three days of release, becoming an instant box office hit.

The film, which depicts the war crimes committed by a notorious Japanese unit during World War II, has captivated audiences not only in China but also abroad. It has already been released in the United States, Canada, and Australia, and will soon be released in other countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France.

It is expected that "Evil Unbound" will continue to be one of the highest-grossing films of the year and will also spark a lively debate about historical memory and its portrayal on the silver screen.
