Plot

I Belonged To You is a romance omnibus of mini love stories adapted from Zhang Jiajia's best-selling internet "bedtime stories" novel of the same name. Chen Mo (Deng Chao), is known as the cheapest person in the whole city. Every day he will battle against DJ Xiao Rong (Du Juan). No one knows where their hate comes from. Chen Mo's two little brothers, whether it is the silliest Zhu Tou (Yue Yun Peng) or the city's most innocent Mo Shi Ba (Yang Yang), the three people all go on rampages daily, thinking that they can all live freely, but the result is that they all hit the greatest turning point of their lives. Chen Mo meets the mysterious Yao Ji (Zhang Tianai), Zhu Tou creates the worst wedding of all time, Mo Shi Ba experiences the saddest parting. These people's lives reveal things little by little. Dreams, love, friendship all go far away. They have already lost their own paths, until they hear a voice from around the world.[4]

Reception

In China, I Belonged to You was strategically released on Thursday, October 1, National Day – traditionally a day for families to go and watch firework displays. The release date indeed proved to be lucrative as the film opened in first place from its opening day with $11.1 million (dominating 80% of the total market share) and throughout the remaining four days, leading to top the charts by the end of the weekend. In total, it earned $45.9 million in the four day period and $34.4 million in the Friday to Sunday period, according to data from Ent Group.[5] Although the film topped the box office in its country, internationally, it fell behind the Hollywood film, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.[6]

In its second weekend, the film fell to second place earning $12.5 million over the weekend. It was overtaken by Operation Mekong.[3]
