Gavin Feng Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Beijing regulators have ordered cinemas to give 45 percent screen share to the Friday opening of a lavish propaganda film celebrating the People’s Liberation Army. Quote Last week, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television issued a directive to local cinema chains large and small requiring them to ensure that the movie opens on at least 45 percent of all Chinese screens. Senior management of the largest chains also were called into a meeting at the Film Bureau in Beijing last week for a discussion of the order, sources tell THR. "We have been trying to negotiate a lower screen share, because 45 percent will be very difficult to reach and could seriously hurt our revenue for the weekend," says a manager of a nationwide chain who was present at the meeting (the individual asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of speaking out against government propaganda policy). "We're hoping to get down to at least 40 percent," the manager said, adding that the process did not look hopeful. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/chinese-cinemas-ordered-give-heavy-play-state-propaganda-film-1024675 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of those reasons. WW2 can attract both younger and older audience. Too many young actors from Army and many of them don't have great WOM because of high salary and stinking acting. The interesting thing is that WW2 Maoyan score is higher after Army's distributor deleted all 1/5 and 2/5 reviews of their movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
