Asian Film Pundits Applaud International Growth Brought by China Film Industry's Globalization

Hong Kong – Approximately 200 delegates from movie industries around the world movie industry attended the China Daily Asia Leadership Roundtable Panel on “International Opportunities Brought by China Film Industry’s Globalization” from 10.00AM to 12.00PM at FILMART. We are delighted to work with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council again as Media Partner for FILMART 2016 for the fourth consecutive year.

China’s film industry grossed more than 40 billion RMB in 2015, for the first time with over 60 percent coming from domestic production. The 2016 Chinese New Year witnessed phenomenal increases in 287 million RMB box office takings. China’s box office is expected to reach 100 billion RMB in 2020, surpassing North America to become the world’s largest film market.

The rapid globalization of China’s film industry has recently led to strategic deals with the world’s largest film markets including Hollywood, the UK, India, Japan and Korea on content, intellectual property, talent, capital, technology and distribution channels.
