In the first half of 2012, a total of 141 films have been shown in China. Among the movies to hit the big screen were 103 domestically-made works with the remainder being made by foreign film makers. Despite the dominance in the number of films played, success at the box office for Chinese films has been a different story.
2012上半年,共有141部影片在中國各大院線上映。其中103部影片為國產片,剩下的為外國影片。盡管在所有上映的影片中中國以數量取勝,但對于中國來說,在票房上取得成功遠沒有影片數量驕人。
Chinese supernatural fantasy film "Painted Skin: the Resurrection" took in 300 million yuan in just four days.The success brought new encouragement to China’s film industry. But its success seems to be the exception as the majority of domestic films have experienced a disappointing first half in 2012, especially in April and May.
中國魔幻大片《畫皮II—復活》自登陸各大院線僅4天就創造了3億人民幣的票房收入?!懂嬈?》的成功票房令中國電影產業倍受鼓舞。但是,相對于絕大部分國產影片在2012年上半年,特別是4月和5月經歷的票房慘淡,《畫皮2》的成功似乎是個例外。
Zhang Xiaobing, operation director of UME’s Huaxing Int’l Cineplex, said, "The total box office gross in April and May was more than 90 million yuan, but only 20 million was generated from domestic movies. It’s quite disappointing."
UME華星國際影城的運營總監張小繽說,“4月和5月的票房收入總額為9千萬人民幣,但是,只有2千萬人民幣是國產影片產生的票房收入。這一數字是讓人失望的?!?/p>
