It's time to exhale and pop that champagne cork as the Hong Kong film industry proclaims 2010 a good year for films.
Indeed, the performance of local productions has indicated the start of a resurgence in Hong Kong cinema amid the larger and irrevocable trend of China-Hong Kong co-productions. Cases in point include Shaw Brothers/Tvb's Chinese New Year hit 72 Tenants of Prosperity, which raked in Hk$34.4 million ($4.4 million), and Hong Kong's foreign-language film Oscar contender Echoes of the Rainbow, which created a citywide fervor in March and took in Hk$23 million.
Audiences also have shown support for smaller, low-budget local productions that aimed at the domestic market, including director Barbara Wong's surprise hit The Break Up Club and Pang Ho-cheung's romance for smokers Love in a Puff, which did respectably at the box office through a gradual buildup of word-of-mouth, earning Hk$10.3 million and Hk$6.4 million, respectively.
Co-productions still reign among Chinese-language films,...
