The 2020s opened with theatrical exhibition in crisis and streaming absorbing much of the mid-budget film. What's emerged is a split market: event spectacle in cinemas, and almost everything else finding its audience at home.
Hong Kong cinema's 1980s and 90s peak produced the most influential action filmmaking of the era — John Woo's gunplay ballets, Jackie Chan's stunt comedy, and the wire-work that Hollywood promptly absorbed. Wong Kar-wai's films run on a completely different and equally exported register.
