China's box office is now bigger than the USA's. China's movie theatres now make the most money. This is because millions of people went to the cinemas in China over the New Year in February. More people went on Valentine's Day, which is now very popular in China. China's cinemas made a record $650 million in February, compared to $640 million in the USA. The biggest hit in China took $105 million. The new Jackie Chan film earned $95 million.
China's film industry is growing very fast. More middle-class people and more people moving to cities mean fifteen new cinema screens are opening every day. There are now about 23,600 screens in China. This is 475 per cent more than in 2008. China will overtake America's 40,000 screens. China's movie industry grew 27 per cent and 36 per cent in the past two years. A lot of this success has been because of Chinese movies, not Hollywood movies.
