Monster Hunt has become China's highest grossing domestic film, raking in 1.383 billion Yuan (about 212 million Dollars) at the box office over the past two weeks.

The whacky martial arts movie stars an animated “radish baby” monster named Huba, who was birthed by a village man (yup, a man). The villager must save his baby monster from the humans who seek to destroy him.

The film has already out-earned overseas hit Avatar, which made 1.379 billion Yuan in the Mainland box office back in 2010. Avatar was previously the fifth highest grossing film in China, and has since been beat out by the hit Chinese language flick. 

It is expected that the film will surpass the 1.5 billion mark this week, out-earning both Jurassic World and Avengers 2.
