3. New "golden era" for Chinese film
China's box office sales hit 40 billion yuan ($6.3 billion), posting growth of more than 48 percent from the same period last year.
It is the first time box office sales in the world's second-largest film market reached such a benchmark figure, according to China's media watchdog State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
The administration said domestic films pulled in 23.7 billion yuan, accounting for more than 59 percent of the total box office earnings.
There are about 6,200 urban cinemas with more than 30,000 screens in total across the nation. At the same time, youngsters from small towns are becoming the backbone of the cinematic market.
However, piracy still remains a big problem for the Chinese film industry.
