> China’s 2026 summer movie season ended strongly with 12.5 billion yuan ($1.86 billion) in box office revenue and 340 million cinema visits. The record 38.5 million screenings included a lineup led by domestic hits, which took more than 70% of the box office. Lower prices helped, with the average ticket costing 36.74 yuan, the lowest for a summer season since 2022.
