New Classics Pictures’ crime procedural drama “Traces of Justice” rebounded to first place at the mainland China box office during the Nov. 6–8 weekend, collecting RMB21.5 million ($3.2 million) over the three-day frame, according to data from Artisan Gateway.

The performance lifted the multi-decade investigation epic to $103.7 million since its Oct. 1 release. Directed by Chen Sicheng (“Detective Chinatown”) and co-written with Zhang Ji and Yan Zijie, the drama stars Zhang Yi, Ma Li, and Chen Minghao alongside Karry Wang, Fan Chengcheng, and Chen Feiyu in a narrative tracking an elite public security detective solving complex historical cases based on real events.
