The Zhitong Finance App learned that the Acting Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hong Kong, Liu Zhen, said in response to lawmakers' questions in the Legislative Council today (July 15) that the total box office revenue of Hong Kong cinemas in the first half of 2026 was 25% higher than that of the first half of 2025. Among them, the box office revenue of Hong Kong films reached HK$286 million, which is 32% higher than the revenue for the whole year of 2025. In fact, the total box office revenue of movies in 2025 was HK$1,131 million, which is about the average overall box office of HK$1,133 million in the previous five years (2020 to 2024). Compared to before the pandemic, total movie box office revenue in 2025 fell by about 41% compared to HK$1,923 billion in 2019, but the box office of Hong Kong films only fell by about 14% during the same period. It can be seen that the total box office revenue of Hong Kong cinemas fell, mainly due to a lack of blockbuster movies sold internationally.
