The Chinese film industry has maintained strong growth since the start of 2026, with annual box office revenue reaching nearly 11 billion yuan (about 1.6 billion U.S. dollars) so far, accounting for over 28 percent of the global film market, according to the latest data.

That milestone makes China the world's top-grossing film market for the time being, surpassing North America by about 337 million U.S. dollars.

Meanwhile, many Chinese films have been released simultaneously worldwide this year, further enhancing the global influence of Chinese films.
