By the end of Q1:

Theater count 8,226

Screen count 45,741(+4,562)

the total numbers are right, the increase seems too big.

 

So now it is above US (not domestic but just US) ?

 

United state minus puerto Rico was at 40,174 screens in 2016

WOW. when will china have 10K theaters? Is the growth only in Tier 1/2 cities are is it across the country. Past few years the BO has dropped despite growth in theater count and so I am assuming its not that profitable to open new theaters.

Sometimes individual months end up being lower than the previous year, but I thought overall BO has been growing year over year? 2016 total revenue was down in USD but was a few percent higher in local currency. 2015 was almost 50% higher than 2014.

I guess the trajectory has slowed a lot despite tremendous expansion and population. But the core audience seem far narrower than overall population. That needs to change for China to overtake domestic.

In the first 5 months of 2017, import films made ¥12.308 billion(+54.25% compared to the same period 2016), and local films made ¥9.487 billion(-25.53%). 

Thought I'd drop this here for future reference. 

 

Assuming the year finishes around 48B, 24b will be 50%.  With WW, Mummy, Alien and TF5 taking imports up to 16b by early July, 50% could be breached. From what i recall they maintained a local 55-45%~ ratio for years. With imports dropping under 40% last year and the BO flattening they loosened up release restrictions. I wonder if imports (including india Japan etc) will exceed 50% this year and if they will put some restrictions back on?

Yes it looks this year imports will take more than 50% market share. A big HLW year in China coupled with a weakest ever local slate.

 

It shall be announced in a couple of months that the quota will be expanded to 44 (current 34 + 10 more) revenue-sharing based imports per year starting from 2017. I think the Film Bureau has just accepted the fact that imports will beat locals this year so further restrictions will probably not happen. For that, superior officers will have a perfect excuse offered: the quota expanded. As such, 2017 will be concluded as a 'special circumstance' in SARFT's year-end report, just like 2012 when the quota was lifted from 20 to 34.

Middle Kingdom turnstiles clicked past RMB 50B ($7.53B) on Monday, the first time the market has ever exceeded that benchmark, according to SAPPRFT.

Local reports say that as of 6:57PM on Monday night local time, a total of 1.45B moviegoers had attended cinemas in 2017 so far, a 15% increase on 2016. Last year’s box office saw a severe deceleration in growth, to just 3.7% (RMB 45.7B/$6.58B) after a record 2015 had surged 48.7%.
