As domestic releases dominate China’s box office, distributors have renewed calls for overseas titles to keep market fluid

China’s film distributors have called for diversifying the country’s cinematic offerings with more and better titles from overseas, at a time when domestic productions have seized the lion’s share of the market from their imported competitors.

At a work conference held by the state-owned China Film Group Corporation, as well as Huaxia Film Distribution, companies vowed to bring in “good titles from multiple countries” to improve the number, quality and market share of foreign films, state media outlet China Film News reported on Monday.

Distributors at the meeting also committed to “leveraging imported films’ positive effect of diversifying and expanding the market.”
