The Spring Festival holiday is one of the best times for movies in China. This year, it runs from January 28 to February 4, which is one day longer than before. That means even more time to catch a fun flick!
Six new Chinese movies came out on Wednesday. They have all kinds of stories—like myths, martial arts adventures, comedies, fantasies, animations, and dramas. There’s something for everyone! 🌟
Experts are saying that these movies cover lots of different genres, so they can make lots of different people happy. Many of these films are sequels to popular movies, so fans are super excited!
Since December, organizations have been helping people go to the movies by giving out around 600 million yuan in discounts. That means more people can enjoy the big screen experience!
Some people predict that during the 2025 Spring Festival holiday, the total money made from movies could go up by 6.7% compared to last year, reaching 8.54 billion yuan!
