Just when you thought that breaking Hong Kong box-office record is something that Stephen Chow can achieved that (read: 2001's SHAOLIN SOCCER and 2004's KUNG FU HUSTLE), think again. According to The Associated Press, the world's first 3D erotic movie, 3D SEX AND ZEN: EXTREME ECSTASY has earned 17 million Hong Kong dollars ($2.2 million) as of Tuesday since opening last week on 73 screens. Get this: The movie has even broke first-day record set by AVATAR!
