At the end of May, the total year-to-date box office in China was $3.2 billion (RMB 22.1 billion), a 45 percent improvement over the same period last year, when COVID lockdowns were decimating the industry.好莱坞在中国的院线电影票房收入仍远低于疫情前的水平，但总体来说， 中国电影市场已经恢复了一些活力，中国电影业的前景是可观的。监管方面的阻力已经减弱，业内资深人士认为，政府希望看到电影行业再次在商业上蓬勃发展。截至5月底，今年迄今的中国总票房为32亿美元（221亿元人民币）， 与去年同期相比提高了45%，当时因为疫情封锁，行业发展受到阻碍。
