Hong Kong’s box office managed to stage a partial recovery in the second half of 2022, despite cinemas being closed for nearly four months earlier in the year, due to US titles including Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way Of Water and a strong line-up of local movies.
Total box office for 2022 came in at HK$1.14bn (US$146.41m), according to figures from Hong Kong Box Office Limited, which was only 5% down on 2021.
However, these figures were more than 40% down on the 2019 pre-pandemic box office tally of HK$1.92bn (US$246.17), prompting Hong Kong Box Office to state that “the situation of the film industry is still very severe”.
Hong Kong cinemas were closed from January 7 to April 20 in 2022, wiping out the lucrative Chinese New Year and Easter periods, compared to a shutdown of 48 days in 2021.
