According to data released by the China Film Administration, the total box office of the Chinese film market reached 47.258 billion in 2021, which is the largest ticket warehouse in the world.
In 2021, the number of people watching movies in the city was 1.167 billion, a decrease of 563 million from the 1.73 billion in 2019, which is almost a third.
The report pointed out that this year, domestic films accounted for 84.49% of the market. The overall failure of imported films in the Chinese film market is not just a problem of the sharp decline in the number of overseas epidemics. In 2021, the number of imported films is far lower than that of domestic films in terms of attendance and single-game revenue. Insufficient degree is a big problem.
Behind this is the trend of gradual changes in the audience’s aesthetics, so the decline of imported films in the Chinese film market seems to be a major trend.
In addition, the total box office for New Year’s Day in 2021 reached 1.007 billion, with 24.299 million viewers and 1.339 million screenings, making it the third largest box office for New Year’s Day in Chinese film history, setting a new record for the number of scheduled shows.
