News of the day - Record ticket sold in cinema

CNA reported that record number of tickets were sold in box office last year. Local film proved to be a big draw on viewer.

Good for the cinema operator. From the pirated VCD days to current cinema goers crowd. Local audience has changed some what. More pursue greater enjoyment by watching movie in cinema. The cramp down on piracy also helped. The economy was good last year, more people willing to fork out the extra few dollars. No wonder the ticket price keep increasing.

This year could be some what different. If the good time slow down, I wonder the ticket sales would be affected. We wish there are more good films to watch.

Local firm like 881 was popular last year. I felt it was pretty much a hype than great substance. I watched the movie in cinema. There was a few touching and enjoyful moment. But the story line just not very understandable. No matter what, I still enjoy the hokkien song.
