Today’s news that all local film releases scheduled for the highly lucrative Chinese New Year period have been kiboshed has wide-ranging implications. Beyond being a prudent move by authorities and producers to stave off apotential spread of the coronavirus, this is expected to mean a $1B+ blow to global box office for 2020.
Says a finance source, “Moviegoing is so concentrated during this period, even with later releases, it will be impossible to overcome the massive loss.” Says another source, “We can’t recover from this year now even if China redates these films.”
Last year’s full New Year holiday brought in about Rmb 5.8B ($836M at today’s rates) with the month of February achieving a benchmark Rmb 11.1B ($1.6B) boosted by the New Year pics.
As we have previously reported, this year is not primed to hit the highs of 2019 given the lack of giant tentpoles, but a massive blow in China,...

Taylor Swift and Netflix reveal new trailer for Miss Americana, a documentary about the pop star becoming politically active.
For more than a decade(!) in the spotlight of pop stardom, Taylor Swift has shaken off the need to get political or strongly suggest her opinions beyond critiques of past boyfriends (or other musicians she has “Bad Blood” with). But since revealing her political views in 2018, she has entered the fray of American discourse. And now she has the documentary to prove it.
Taylor Swift: Miss Americana is Netflix’s first major doc of the New Year, one that partners the streaming service with one of the most popular musicians in the world. Already scheduled for a major premiere at the Sundance Film Festival ahead of its Jan. 31 streaming debut, the film comes with pedigree as director Lana Wilson previously won an Emmy for her documentary After Tiller.
