"New Batman" and "mysterious sea" announced their release in China in March, with strong box office appeal. A number of imported films are expected to boost the box office in spring: on February 19, the film "tragedy on the Nile", an adaptation of Agatha's classic masterpiece starring Gail gado, was released; The Japanese film "love in a bouquet" with high scores will be released on February 22. Although the European and American box office is in the cold season in spring, the supply of Hollywood films has recovered significantly since September last year. In 2022, the recovery of Hollywood film supply will continue, and blockbusters such as Dr. strange 2 and Thor 4 will be released one after another. Although the introduction of imported films in China is generally tightening, due to the extremely low base last year and the indispensable role of imported films in the regulation of box office in unpopular schedules, the release of imported films in Chinese cinemas is expected to gradually recover this year, and the proportion of box office is expected to rise. In 2022, we are optimistic that China's box office will achieve a high growth rate under the recovery of imported film supply and the fading impact of epidemic prevention and control. After a long period of downturn, the high-quality resources at the projection end and content end of the film industry will be inclined to leading companies, and the logic of offline consumption recovery will be good for relevant targets. It is recommended to pay attention to Wanda Film Holding Co.Ltd(002739) , Beijing Enlight Media Co.Ltd(300251) .
