(Variety) A local film "Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In" earned an all-time record-breaking HK$105 million ($13.5 million) at the Hong Kong box office. But it was not enough to keep the territory's theatrical business on a recovery track. Data from Hong Kong Box Office Ltd. Shows that January to end of June gross revenues dropped by 17% year-on-year, from HK$772 million ($99 million) to HK$640 million ($82 million) this time.
Another Hong Kong made film "Table for Six 2" earned HK$37.4 million ($4.80 million) to make it a local one-two, ahead of "Dune: Pt 2," with HK$36 million ($4.62 million) as the leading imported title.
The organization reported that the first half enjoyed 143 theatrical releases, of which 22 were local productions.
