China has a population 4 times bigger than the US, and the films you cite did roughly 4 times better in each example.

The countries' box office markets are about the same size, though:

But how much does ticket cost in China compared to the US? (Genuine question)
Anywhere from ¥20 ($3) to ¥100 ($15) in large cities. Depending on the city, type of ticket and whether it's China-exclusive or worldwide release. Looking at prices, ¥40 doesn't seem like a bad deal.
I have a friend who works in a Chinese movie theatre. According to them each ticket is from ¥15 to ¥40, though it definitely varies based on the time of the year and the location.
