New figures suggest the Chinese box office has, for the first time, generated more than 5 billion yuan in revenue in a calendar month.

As of today, Chinese theatres have taken in nearly 5.1 billion yuan.

China's box office has seen daily revenues north of 100 million yuan for 20 consecutive days.

This month has seen Chinese film "Monster Hunt" surpass "The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" to 3rd place on the overall box office charts.

"Monster Hunt" has taken in over 1.5 billion yuan in just 13 days.

The film is out at a favorable time, as the mid-summer blackout period is currently in-place.

The period is when Hollywood titles are not allowed to open in Chinese theatres.

Chinese box office has grossed over 25 billion yuan so far this year.

Last year's total revenues came in at 29.6 billion yuan, which is expected to be surpassed sometime next month.

Expect more hollywood movies geared to Chinese audience. And of course Chinese films are infinitely times more profitable than Bollywood.

That's a smart policy indeed. I wish all countries did have a more or less similar policy.

The Hollywood trash is so bad that you have to ban it to surpass it? I'm not bashing but, come on, seriously?

How is that? Bollywood actually earns quite a bit of money on a small budget.

A person should not be so blindly unquestionably and chauvinistically patriotic that he doesn't see his own flaw, or fails to even see facts on ground.

Even Chinese Government officials know that Chinese movies are not that good. If you want, I can quote news article on news article from Xinhua and PD, as well as Ministry initiatives to get things going.

You can watch hollywood films in China, that is why furious 7 is currently the highest grossing film their.
Even with hollywood films allowed, domestic films still dominate with 60% of the market share.
