China’s film industry has reached new heights, with the 2025 Spring Festival holiday box office revenue soaring to an unprecedented 7 billion yuan (about $966 million). From January 28 to February 2, cinemas across the nation were packed as moviegoers celebrated the festival with the latest film releases, making this period the highest-grossing Spring Festival in China’s cinema history.
This remarkable achievement solidifies China’s position as a global leader in box office revenue for 2025, surpassing North America’s figures. The milestone showcases the immense growth and potential of the Chinese film market on the world stage.
The surge in ticket sales is credited to a strong lineup of domestic films that resonated with audiences of all ages. Movie enthusiasts praised the diversity and quality of the films, ranging from action-packed blockbusters to heartfelt dramas.
“It’s incredible to see our film industry flourishing,” said Li Wei, a university student in Shanghai. “The movies this year were amazing, and it’s exciting to share this experience during the Spring Festival.”
Industry analysts predict that this record-breaking trend will continue as China’s film market expands, offering more opportunities for filmmakers and actors alike.
“China’s box office success reflects the growing influence of its cultural exports,” commented Zhang Ming, a film critic. “We’re witnessing a new era where Chinese cinema is making a significant impact both domestically and internationally.”
As the 2025 Spring Festival comes to a close, anticipation builds for what the rest of the year holds for China’s dynamic film industry.
