BEIJING, May 1 (Xinhua) -- Domestic movie "Born to Fly" continued to top the domestic daily box office chart on Sunday, data from the China Movie Data Information Network showed Monday.
Known as a "Top Gun"-style production, the movie turns a rare spotlight on the test pilots of the air force. It tells the story of how elite pilots rubbed shoulders with death during the test flights of China's cutting-edge fighter jets to help collect data under extreme conditions.

"Godspeed," a domestic road comedy, came in second with a daily earning of around 103.15 million yuan.
