IMAX Box Office in China’s Peak Moviegoing Period up +57% over Previous Best; Animated Blockbuster “Ne Zha 2” Leads the Way with $36 Million and Counting NEW YORK, US and SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 February 2025 – IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) shattered its box office record for Chinese New Year, delivering $53 million during the 7-day holiday period concluded February 4. The busiest window annually for moviegoing in China, the 2025 Chinese New Year holiday saw IMAX exceed its previous record of $34 million set in 2023 by a whopping +57%. IMAX also delivered its highest attendance ever for the Chinese New Year, with 5.5 million admissions nationwide. While the holiday has concluded, IMAX’s record-breaking slate of Chinese New Year films will continue to play throughout the IMAX China network for another month. IMAX delivered its highest market share of the holiday – 4.3% on only 1% of screens – and $7.3 million on the final day of the period, demonstrating the continued strength of the slate. “Chinese New Year unleashed one of the most impressive surges in moviegoing we’ve seen in recent years, anywhere in the world — leaving a slew of broken IMAX records in its wake,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. “This is a shot of adrenaline for moviegoing in China that comes at just the right time, with a tentpole heavy slate of local language and Hollywood films ahead for 2025.” Enlight’s “Ne Zha 2” — the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 smash hit — led the way with $36 million. The film scored the biggest opening weekend in IMAX history for an animated film with $22 million and is already the fourth highest grossing IMAX local language release of all time. “Ne Zha 2” took just seven days to top its predecessor “Ne Zha,” which earned $35 million in China over its two-month IMAX run. Alibaba’s fantasy “Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force” delivered $7.6 million and Bona’s naval drama “Operation Hadal” added another $2.7 million in IMAX. Both films featured IMAX-exclusive expanded aspect ratio. China Film Group’s martial arts actioner “Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants” scored $3.7 million while Maoyan’s “Detective Chinatown 1900” contributed an additional $2.7 million in IMAX. “The message from audiences is clear: IMAX is their first choice,” said Daniel Manwaring, CEO of IMAX China. “Riding on a stronger-than-ever audience preference, IMAX has transformed moviegoing into a cultural phenomenon and a social talking point. We deeply value their brand loyalty and are confident that we can carry this momentum throughout what is poised to be one of the strongest years for Chinese local language films.” With the 2025 Chinese New Year slate, IMAX continues to expand its strategy of bringing local language films to audiences around the world. “Creation of The Gods II: Demon Force” and “Detective Chinatown 1900” were also released in select IMAX locations across 11 countries worldwide, bringing in more than $1.2 million outside of China. “Ne Zha 2” will be shown exclusively in IMAX theaters in Australia and New Zealand beginning February 6th. The Chinese New Year slate will continue to play in China for the next month, alongside Disney’s “Captain America: Brave New World” and the re-release of the classic romance “In Mood for Love”.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 February 2025 – Monash University Malaysia marked a milestone with the launch of the Southeast Asia Research Centre for Digital Tech and Society (SEADS). The launch of SEADS was inaugurated by the Honourable YB Hannah Yeoh, Minister of Youth and Sports, in a ceremony committed to promoting a safer digital future. From left: Professor Duncan McDuie-Ra (Head of the School of Arts & Social Sciences), Associate Professor Emma Baulch (Director of (SEADS) and Deputy Head of School (Research) at the School of Arts and Social Sciences. , YB Hannah Yeoh (Minister of Youth and Sports), Professor Emeritus Dato’ Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman (President and Pro Vice-Chancellor, Monash University Malaysia), YB Michelle Ng Mei Sze (ADUN Subang Jaya). Speaking of the role of SEADS, Professor Emeritus Dato’ Dr. Adeeba Kamarulzaman, President and Pro Vice-Chancellor, of Monash University Malaysia emphasized that the center is not just about celebrating digital advancement but ensuring technology works for the people, not against them. She also highlighted SEADS’ commitment to collaborating with corporations, policymakers, and communities to foster ethical and inclusive digital transformation. One of the event’s highlights was a fireside chat between YB Hannah Yeoh and Professor Meera Sivasothy from the School of Arts and Social Sciences. The discussion titled “Creating a Safe Internet for Young Malaysians” explored issues related to the regulation of online spaces in Malaysia and their implications for young people. “Greater coordination and data sharing within government agencies is essential to making better-informed decisions regarding online harm”, emphasized Hannah Yeoh. Prioritizing comprehensive research and leveraging the Southeast Asia Digital Society framework, stakeholders are urged to understand the scope of online harm before enacting policies or regulations. In response to questions on whether Malaysia should follow Australia’s lead in banning social media access for individuals under 16, YB Hannah Yeoh expressed skepticism about its feasibility. She highlighted enforcement challenges, noting, “In Malaysia, people often share phones within households, making such regulations difficult to implement.” Addressing the issue of online trolling in sports, Yeoh underscored the importance of maintaining the principles of sportsmanship. “Online behavior should mirror the values we cherish in sports. Respect, fairness, and integrity must be upheld, whether on the field or online,” she stated. Yeoh also discussed the often-blurred lines between online and offline spaces, challenging societal perceptions about digital consumption. “We frequently criticize children for spending extensive hours on their phones, but we must also consider adult behaviors—like working in two-hour blocks without breaks—as part of the problem. To secure a better future, we need collective efforts in understanding and addressing these concerns,” she added. As Malaysia navigates the complexities of digital engagement, fostering an informed, collaborative approach is pivotal to safeguarding all citizens in an increasingly interconnected world. Associate Professor Emma Baulch, Director of SEADS and Deputy Head of School (Research) at Monash University Malaysia’s Schools of Arts and Social Sciences said, “Online spaces are where young people live—relax, socialize, shop, get informed and sell things. Given the rapid pace of change in these environments, more fundamental research is needed to take stock of how changes affect us for better or for worse.” Baulch added,” Universities are a key piece of the puzzle in building an inclusive digital future. At SEADS, we don’t just publish research articles but we co-design them with collaborators in civil society, government, and industry to drive meaningful changes.” SEADS’ research falls under three themes: Online harm and safety, including online gender-based violence and the harm caused by deepfake imagery; Data justice, including research on digital identities, data centers, and threats to data privacy; and Digital inclusion, including the inequalities of access and affordability that persist as increasing numbers of people come online. SEADS will partner with industry, policymakers, and civil society to ensure research on these topics informs public conversations, attitudes, and practices, as well as policy development. These research priorities reflect Monash University Malaysia’s commitment to address critical societal issues that impact our community. Through initiatives like SEADS, Monash University Malaysia continues to undertake the research necessary to drive impactful change, bridging academics with real-world solutions to address the pressing challenges of our time.
