JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens has plummited on the Chinese box office just two weeks after it was released in the world's most populous country.

The latest Star Wars flick found itself on the second top spot of the Chinese box office after the relatively low-budget local animated film Boonie Bears 3 was released this past weekend.

The latest Star Wars installment follows the story of the well loved characters, three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire as a new threat arises. The First Order then attempts to rule what is left of the galaxy and only a group of heroes and the Resistance can stop them.

During the first week of screening, Star Wars received 167,060 showings, but last weekend it only received 66,568 showings - a 72 percent decline from its first screening weekend.

Overall, Star Wars earned a gross of more than $125 million in China, which is a feat for a Hollywood movie since China is the second-largest theatrical market.

Boonie Bears 3, which is based on a popular CCTV animated series, was produced by Fantawild Holdings and LeVision Pictures. It earned an estimated $15.08 million this past weekend and has grossed a total of $20.07 million as of Monday morning. The animated film roughly received around 10 percent more screenings than the latest Star Wars franchise.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be screened in China until next weekend, but with the upcoming public release of Kung Fu Panda 3, another animated movie, it is likely that Star Wars will finish in China with sales of around $120 million.
