A government minister in Beijing offered a glimmer of hope Wednesday for China's battered movie business.
The secretary general went on to explain that museums and indoor entertainment venues — including movie theaters — are expected to get the official green light to reopen in early June, following the conclusion of China's National People's Congress in May. Chen added in Beijing Wednesday that the city government would "offer a series of support policies for the film industry," and that "each regional film bureau will introduce their own support policies as well." No details on what the support mechanisms would entail were mentioned.
