It's Official: China Overtakes North America as World's Biggest Box Office in 2020

[Beidou2020]

Lol are you kidding? Basically no films have been released this year outside of streaming. And Hollywood films dominate.

Let me know when China has anywhere near a successful franchise as the MCU.

It’s like Russia winning Olympic hockey gold in 2018 when the entire NHL refused to play.

It’s pointless.

Once again, almost no films were released this year in theaters.

The Top 10 films of 2019 were all Hollywood films. That really says it all.

The Top 10 films of 2019 were all Hollywood films.

That your boasting of the Chinese box office in a year with almost no Hollywood blockbusters reeks of desperation. Pathetic....

Dude is rattled

You don't seem to get my point. My point was why compare domestic ticket collections, when it is obvious that Hollywood has a market in China while Chinese movies have no market anywhere outside of China. Hollywood wins even if China's domestic ticket collections doubles that of US.

But you were talking about half of the revenue of the Chinese market, no?

Okay. I concede on that point. But I still think had there been no quota half of your domestic ticket sales would be of Hollywood.

Considering the west have been dominant in this industry for hundreds over years no one is denying the fact that western movies still dominate the world stage.

The news merely point out that the huge market China possess and FYI China do produce good films but they are made mostly for domestic consumption.

My indian friend, stop trolling around to put China in a bad light, yes I know you are desperate but trolling won't help to change the reality.

The yearly best US movie globally can hardly make it to top 3 in China, Check year on year best grossed movies in the Chinese market.

In 2019, Chinese films accounted for 64% of the total box office, or $5.9 million (RMB41.2 billion) in ticket sales. With foreign films making up 22% of 2019’s total number of screened titles, they make the rest 36%. If you open your market for competition, then I am sure Hollywood would easily scale up to 50%.

Hollywood has a free hand in India and yet they don't dominate our domestic movie market.

Could, would, should.

Good to know that CHina is becoming the biggest consumer of american products like Nike, ipHone, Hollywood movies, iMacs, Tesla Cars etc.

Chinese movies easily beat Hollywood movies in top 3 grossed movies almost every year, how can US movies can make it up to 50%? And US theaters don't show Chinese movies and why they demand China to show theirs?

US theatres are not bound by govt restrictions but by lack of market for your films. While China has placed a restriction on screening of foreign films. I am not talking about top grossing films, but in overall market Hollywood has significant presence in China.

That you boast in a year with no Hollywood films says it all. And I would expect nothing less of you Beidou.

Theaters can only show dozens of movies a year, If US theaters don't show even one Chinese movie, don't expect China shows every single Hollywood movie.
US culture is very different from Chinas, it can never capture a big share of the Chinese movie market. let's check the best TV drama in China.
