But “La La Land” grossed more than the combined box office of two Chinese romance titles that also opened Tuesday. The debut of “La La Land” also topped the nearly $10 million box-office total collected by “Les Misérables” in 2013, the last major Hollywood musical to hit China. “La La Land” also collected a record 14 nominations for the Academy Awards on Feb. 27. Nearly 63% of audiences of “La La Land” were women, it said, and 42% were between 20 and 24 years old.
