More films please, studio urges

A top Hollywood studio head has expressed hope that China will allow more foreign films into the country, as the move would benefit both domestic and foreign filmmakers.

"We would prefer to be able to bring more movies to the market," James Gianopulos, chairman and chief executive officer of Fox Filmed Entertainment, told China Daily.

"It makes sense to allow people to have access to the legal products, rather than seeing films in pirated form. And, piracy doesn't just steal from us, it steals from the government and the economy of countries like China it doesn't benefit anyone," he said.
