With the Chinese Lunar New Year around the corner, the pre-festival "battle" to capture the world's most populous movie market is kicking off. The upcoming Spring Festival falls on Jan 28 and expands into a weeklong national holiday, which is seen as a "golden period" for cinemas.
So far, nine films are expected to premiere simultaneously on Jan 28 - a new high in recent years. In 2016 the number was three. It was seven in 2015 and five in 2014.
