Audiences ask can Where Are We Going, Dad? be described as a film

The film version of the popular TV reality show Where Are We Going, Dad? enjoyed strong box-office appeal, but it sparked heated debate among audiences after it hit the screens on Jan 31, the first day of the Chinese New Year.

The film topped single-day box office revenue charts for Chinese 2D films with 90 million yuan ($14.85 million) on the first day and 86 million yuan on the second. The former record-setter, Feng Xiaogang's film Personal Tailor brought in 80 million yuan on its first day.
