April 2015 - 4.09B RMB

April 2016 - 3.11B RMB (- 24%)

 

Biggest YOY monthly drop in recent history

Does this mean that the market growth is finally starting to slow down, or is it mostly just a testament to how big F7 was?

F7, that is all. Same can happen in July if there are not films able to match Monster Hunt. The truth is that in 2015 there were 8 films over 1 billion Yuan, and this year there are already 5 (Mermaid, Zootopia, Macau, Monkey King and KFP3). And I do not count Civil War, Finding Mr. Right 2 and Jungle Book which can get it. And we are just starting May...

The latter. You can't establish a trend based on one month of data.

It's a little of both. It is just FF7 this month but it's also an example of how massive growth eventually becomes hard to sustain. Happens with corporations and nations as well. An eventual slow down can be indicated in a month or its an anomaly.  June could be flat and July looks like it will be hard to beat and be down,  that would be confirmation as a trend. 

Another sign is that HLWD movie growth has slowed compared to local film. That means the build out of theaters in 1st and second tier cities has slowed and could be nearing saturation.

Olive should have theater build data soon.

The percentage increase from last year dropped from 51 (at the end of Q1) to 23 in a month and a half. I think my 10.3% annual rise is happening with the summer looking like it could be flat to slightly lower/higher than last year's.

Dollar drop will thus be much harsher.

It's at 6.58 now but the average for the year is about 6.53 down 5.15%

Month is down 7.1% in dollars.

June should be up decent. 2B of the 3.2B last June was made by JW and SA. HA and another local made more than half of the rest. With Xmen and WC making up for JW and SA, FD, ID2 and a couple locals  should give this June a big increase

Good, but I find a bit worrying that Q2 drop. One month drop can say a lack of appealing releases, but a whole quarter can indicate a slow down process (like @No Prisonershas been saying). How are the perspectives for the bunch of local films which are coming next weeks?

 

Anyway, to make 24b during 6 first months already means a 84% of the whole 2014 BO, what I think it is still amazing.

 

And correct me if I am wrong, but according my data, if we take the first half films released in both 2015 and 2016 and we order them by gross, we have that among top 15, 4 films are from 2015 and 11 films are from 2016. Maybe overall increase is not so spectacular, but top lists keeps changing a lot. "Quality" of grosses keeps increasing considerably.
