2015中国大陆电影票房已超297亿
Chinese mainland box office in 2015 has surpassed 29.7 billion yuan, or around 4.6 billion USD.
2015年中国大陆电影票房已超过297亿元人民币，约合46亿美元。
The figure is not only a 48.5% increase compared to the same period last year, it also beats the mainland's total box office revenue from 2014.
Domestic films generated around 18 billion yuan, or 2.83 billion USD, accounting for more than 60% of this year's total so far.
Business insiders are crediting the boom to improved quality of domestic films and promotions.
"Fast and Furious 7" is currently China's highest-grossing film of all time, followed by the domestically-made "Monster Hunt".
Chinese box office is expected to reach 40 billion yuan, or 6.3 billion USD, by the end of 2015, as a number of big titles are scheduled to hit theatres later this year.
Among them are highly-anticipated home-grown films like "Lost in Hong Kong", "Mr. Six", "The Ghouls", as well as Hollywood titles "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation", "Pixels", and "Ant-Man".
