In 2013, China’s film industry advanced exponentially, with box office grosses exceeding $3.52 billion, celebrating a 27.5% growth from the previous year. With the number of screens approaching 20,000, China, the world’s largest international theatrical market, presents enormous opportunities for the global film industry.
Meanwhile, film technology renovations and rapid growth of its viewer-base have been accompanied by significant changes in the constitution of moviegoers, especially their viewing preferences and ways to access information, compared with previous years. With increasing numbers of imported blockbusters and the improved quality of Chinese productions, the competition has never been so intense.
