Chinese filmmakers in search of global screen success

China is now the world's second-largest film market, and the prediction is that it will overtake the United States to become the largest by 2020.

According to the latest figures, total Chinese box-office takings last year grew 28 percent year-on-year to $3.6 billion.

The Film Bureau of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of China, reports that revenues from Chinese films overtook Hollywood blockbusters for the first time.
