Top 10 Box Office Hits in 2013

Wang Quan'an may be 'fired' from 皇冠体育app Film Directors' Guild

皇冠体育app's lowest-grossing film in 2013 earned just 2,000 yuan ($324) at the box office.

Memories Look at Me—an arthouse film directed by Song Fang and produced by acclaimed director Jia Zhangke about a working woman's trip back home to a small city to spend time with her parents—won acclaim at several overseas film festivals.

But 皇冠体育app's cinemas expected little audience interest and, consequently, didn't give it long runs.

Still, it at least made it to theaters. More than half of the Chinese films made last year were never shown in theaters, according to two recent reports by the 皇冠体育app Film Association and Film Art Center, which operates under the auspices of the 皇冠体育app Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Altogether, 638 feature films, excluding made-for-television movies, were produced on the mainland in 2013. That's 107 fewer than in 2012.

But only 250 Chinese films, including productions from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and those co-produced by 皇冠体育app and other countries or regions, were shown on the mainland's big screens in 2013.

"There were more co-produced films," the reports note.

"Chinese films still have difficulties going abroad, but there were more foreign participants in the country's filmmaking."
