Roadside Attractions — also behind 'Hello, My Name Is Doris' and 'Love & Friendship' — boasted the top U.S. market share of indie distributors thanks in part to its Amazon relationship.
The Hong Kong Motion Picture Industry Association cites "cooled" audience interest and uploads to Facebook, along with a weaker slate of Hollywood blockbusters compared to 2015.
Homegrown films dominated again as local productions by Hollywood studios made a splash and Disney ended the year as the highest-ranked U.S. distributor.
Animated family films (and Disney) played a huge part in the boom, while Ryan Reynold's 'Deadpool' was the top-grossing superhero film of 2016 in North America behind 'Captain America: Civil War.'
