China Mid-Autumn Festival film market performance
Overview
The Chinese film market experienced fluctuating performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival period.
Initially, the market faced a significant downturn characterized by extremely poor pre-sales, totaling less than 30 million yuan. Analysts noted a trend of low-budget domestic productions and a 23% drop in viewing frequency compared to the previous year. During this early stage, the re-release of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ (Enhanced Edition) dominated the market, accounting for up to 77% of total pre-sales.
Subsequently, the box office saw a surge, with total revenues exceeding 100 million yuan. This recovery was driven by a lineup of 16 films, including the continued success of the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ re-release, which captured over 40% of the box office on the first day of the period. Other contributors to the market activity included domestic titles such as ‘Dunhuang Hero’ and ‘Old Jianghu’.
