What a flourishing homegrown film industry means for China and the world

China is making films—and going to the movies—like never before. Today, there are more movie screens in China than in the US, and the amount of money brought in at the Chinese box office is expected to overtake the US by 2020. Recent Chinese-made blockbusters like Wolf Warrior 2, Operation Red Sea, and The Wandering Earth have passed the $500 million mark at the box office, making them among the most profitable of the past few years.
