The movie ticketing platform was dragged down by a 23% decline in China's box office last year, but held out hope for a stronger 2025
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Maoyan said its profit fell by more than 80% in 2024 on a weak performance at China's box office</li>
<li>The movie ticket seller has gotten off to a strong start this year as it benefits from the record box office for animated blockbuster ‘Ne Zha 2'</li>
</ul>
China's box office got a bounce post-pandemic from people eager to return to theaters, many of which were previously shut or operated on a limited basis to keep Covid-19 in check. But that bounce has faded lately as life returns to normal. A weak economy isn't helping matters either, causing China's box office to shrink by more than 20% last year as people reined in their spending on non-essential items like movie viewing.
The gloom cast a shadow over leading online movie ticketing platform&nbsp;Maoyan Entertainment&nbsp;(1896.HK) last year, causing its business to sag. Late last month, the company&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2025/0227/2025022700893.pdf">warned that</a>&nbsp;its revenue last year fell around 14% to between 4.05 billion yuan ($560 million) and 4.15 billion yuan, as its profit plummeted around 80% to between 150 million yuan and 200 million yuan. Despite that gloom, it held out hope for better times this year on a strong performance for the Chinese box office over the recent Lunar New Year holiday.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Slumping box office</h4>
Maoyan attributed the profit decline mainly to the drop in China's box office last year. The number of moviegoers also fell 22.3% year-on-year to 1.01 billion viewings. The situation was especially grim in the second half of the year, when the box office plunged 35.1% year-on-year, sending a chill through Maoyan's core movie ticketing business.
As a movie investor, Maoyan also took a hit from poor performance for some of its productions, leading to a substantial decline in profits from its content services business.
One bright spot for the company was the live entertainment market, which managed to grow in 2024 to historic highs. But revenue related to that business is relatively small for Maoyan, with movie production and ticket sales much larger, leading to the company's sharp profit decline.
Despite the grim year, Maoyan was quite optimistic about 2025. It pointed out that China's national box office exceeded 22.2 billion yuan as of Feb. 26, with new records set during the important Chinese New Year holiday season. It said "Detective Chinatown 1900," for which it was the lead distributor and producer, was the second highest gross film during the period, taking in more than 3.3 billion yuan.
Furthermore, it said some of the other films it helped to produce or distribute, including "Endless Journey of Love," have been scheduled, while "The Litchee Road," "De Xian Jin Zhi," "The Dumpling Queen" and many others are steadily progressing for release at the right time.
Maoyan's bullish eye on this year owes largely to the strong Chinese New Year box office performance, which was mainly attributable to the blockbuster animated film "Ne Zha 2." Not only did the film become China's top-grossing movie, but it also entered the global box office top 10 and became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Its box office already exceeds 14 billion yuan, equivalent to one-third of the Chinese box office in 2024.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Serendipitous success</h4>
Maoyan commands a majority 60% China's online ticketing market, which means the company automatically benefits from a higher box office. But whether the box office can continue its strong year as "Ne Zha 2" inevitably fades remains an open question. It's hardly guaranteed that more blockbusters will emerge this year. Moreover, an element of serendipity in the unprecedented popularity of "Ne Zha 2" won't be easy to replicate.
On a broader time horizon, China's box office has gradually returned to normal in the post-pandemic era. It plunged during the pandemic, falling from 47 billion yuan in 2021 to just 30 billion yuan at the peak in 2022, before bouncing back to 55 billion yuan in 2023 with the end of restrictions. But then it slipped again to 42.5 billion yuan in 2024 as the rebound ran out of fuel. Generally speaking, the annual figure should normally fall between 40 billion yuan and 50 billion yuan, meaning Maoyan, as the largest online ticket seller, is unlikely to achieve any major breakthrough as long as it stays in that range.
Maoyan's other major revenue source, movie distribution and production, also depends on hit movies, which is beyond its control. In that regard it's certainly not alone, as even Hollywood has yet to figure out a guaranteed formula that can spell the difference between success and failure for a movie.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Viewing blues</h4>
China's sluggish economy is the most important factor in the current environment, making people naturally more cautious with their money. Even though movie tickets are relatively cheap, it's even cheaper to watch them online not long after their theatrical releases, and cautious consumers may be happy to wait to save some money. That bodes poorly for companies like Maoyan over the longer term, despite the strong start to 2025.
Maoyan's stock currently trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 9 times. We can ignore comparisons to its major shareholder, "Ne Zha 2" creator&nbsp;Enlight Media&nbsp;(300251), whose ratio has skyrocketed to 140 times on the success of its huge hit. In fact, Maoyan's actual ratio is probably a bit higher than 9 times, based on its latest profit guidance, which would place it at 30 to 40 times. But such movie-related stocks may be shunned by long-term investors put off by their unpredictability.
"The one that shapes my destiny will always be myself rather than the God," the heroine in "Ne Zha" utters at one point in the movie. But piloting their own destinies may be difficult for movie-related companies like Maoyan, whose fate can hinge on just one or two successes or box office flops.

Gary Black has highlighted a ‘misinterpretation' by the media regarding Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) first-quarter delivery shortfall.
As per the Tesla bull, reports have attributed Elon Musk&#8216;s political comments and DOGE spending cutbacks, but Black points to a different cause.
What Happened: In a social media post on X, Black said the actual reason for the delivery shortfall is that buyers are delaying their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42905406/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-china-amid-rising-competition">Model Y</a> purchases until the refreshed version is launched.
While some Democrats may be less inclined to buy Teslas due to Musk&#8217;s political stance, Black suggests that Republicans might appreciate Musk&#8217;s statements and his involvement with DOGE.
This perspective challenges the narrative that political factors are the main reason for the delivery delays.

&mdash; Gary Black (@garyblack00) <a href="https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1898098447011475660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 7, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black&#8217;s post suggests that the media&#8217;s focus on Musk&#8217;s political activities may overlook other significant factors affecting Tesla&#8217;s sales performance. As the refreshed Model Y becomes available, it could potentially shift the delivery numbers in future quarters.
Why It Matters: The delivery shortfall comes at a time when Tesla&#8217;s sales have been under scrutiny. In September 2024, Gene Munster, a tech venture capitalist, noted that Tesla might report a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41082647/tesla-could-report-slight-q3-deliveries-miss-amid-musks-political-controversies-mun"> slight miss</a> in Q3 deliveries due to Musk&#8217;s political controversies. Despite this, Munster remained optimistic about Tesla&#8217;s growth potential.
In early 2025, Tesla&#8217;s sales in California dropped by 12%, raising questions about the impact of Musk&#8217;s political support for Donald Trump on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43447273/tesla-sales-drop-12-in-california-is-elon-musks-support-for-donald-trump-hurting-ev-sales">EV sales</a>. Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43152718/tesla-to-have-a-choppy-first-half-owing-to-new-ev-policies-deliveries-and-margins-however-this-analyst-expect-over-20-upside-from-current-level-with-a-500-target-price">analysts</a> predicted a &#8220;choppy&#8221; first half for Tesla due to new EV policies and uncertainties in deliveries.
Tesla&#8217;s California sales hit a four-year low, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43765071/teslas-california-sales-hit-four-year-low-amid-political-concerns-researcher-says-left-leaning-customers-are-turning-away-from-ev-giant">researchers</a> attributing this to Musk&#8217;s political actions. The ongoing political climate, including potential tariffs on Mexico, could further impact Tesla&#8217;s operations, as highlighted in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44176616/trump-vs-musk-tesla-to-be-hurt-by-tariffs-on-mexico-despite-friendship">March 2025 report</a>.

&nbsp;Today, Novo Nordisk announced headline results from REDEFINE 2, a phase 3 trial in the global REDEFINE programme. REDEFINE 2 is a 68-week efficacy and safety trial investigating once-weekly subcutaneous CagriSema (a fixed dose combination of cagrilintide 2.4 mg and semaglutide 2.4 mg) compared to placebo. The trial included 1,206 randomised people with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes and a mean baseline body weight of 102 kg. &nbsp;The trial achieved its primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant and superior weight loss at week 68 with CagriSema versus placebo. The REDEFINE 2 trial was based on a flexible protocol, allowing patients to modify their dosing throughout the trial. After 68 weeks, 61.9% of patients treated with CagriSema were on the highest dose. When evaluating the effects of treatment, if all people adhered to treatment1, people treated with CagriSema achieved a superior weight loss of 15.7% after 68 weeks compared to 3.1% with placebo. Weight loss of 5% or more after 68 weeks was a co-primary endpoint and was achieved by 89.7% of patients on CagriSema, compared to 30.3% by placebo. When applying the treatment policy estimand2, people treated with CagriSema achieved a superior weight loss of 13.7% compared to 3.4% with placebo. &nbsp;In the trial, CagriSema appeared to have a safe and well-tolerated profile. The most common adverse events with CagriSema were gastrointestinal, and the vast majority were mild to moderate and diminished over time, consistent with the GLP-1 receptor agonist class.&nbsp;

The establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile in the U.S. represents a new paradigm in the evolution of cryptocurrencies and one that could influence monetary policy in countries around the world.
While Bitcoin will have its own reserve, the Digital Asset Stockpile is expected to have Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44068814/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-rally-on-trumps-strategic-crypto-reserve-announcement-cardano-xrp-solana-skyrocket-analyst-says-btcs-new-ath-possible-later-in-the-month">Trump&#8217;s earlier announcement</a>.
The connecting thread among them all? They are the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. In fact, excluding stablecoins, the reserve will contain five of the top six coins in terms of valuation.
But, if it was so obvious, the next logical question is why BNB Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, was not included in the reserve.
Several analysts that Benzinga spoke to blamed it on the ‘China' angle.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ties With An &#8216;Unfriendly&#8217; Trade Partner</h2>
"President Trump's decision to omit Binance Coin from the U.S. Crypto Reserve, despite its substantial market capitalization, may well have been influenced by the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, as Binance has strong ties to China," said Shant Kevonian, CEO and founder of Web3 email platform EtherMail.
It's worth noting that Binance was initially headquartered in China but moved out before the Chinese government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40985461/china-controls-55-of-bitcoin-hashrate-despite-crypto-ban-but-the-us-is-catching-up">restricted cryptocurrency trading</a> in the country. As of this writing, the company has no official headquarters.

Kadan Stadelmann, blockchain developer and Chief Technology Officer of Komodo Platform, also emphasized the Chinese nationality of Yi He, the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36468045/changpeng-zhao-is-out-but-yi-he-stays-inside-the-unseen-power-of-binances-co-founder">little-known co-founder</a>, apart from Changpeng "CZ" Zhao.
It's not news that Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44161587/is-china-apprehensive-of-losing-the-trade-war-to-the-us-china-could-get-isolated-like-moscow-fears-xi-jinping">champions an "America First"</a> policy, placing it at the center of his political rhetoric. He has spoken about putting the U.S. at the forefront of cryptocurrency innovation and avoiding ceding the space to China.
However, the China link wasn't the only cause for concern.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is BNB CZ-Tainted?</h2>
"BNB was started and majority-owned by CZ—in fact, that&#8217;s how Binance funded itself for the 2017 ICO. CZ was recently jailed by the U.S. (Biden administration) for improper KYC, so there&#8217;s no way they&#8217;d include it in a strategic reserve," said Michael Terpin, CEO of Transform Ventures and author of the book Bitcoin Supercycle.
Indeed, CZ served a four-month prison sentence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38547115/ex-binance-ceo-changpeng-zhao-sees-crypto-industry-entering-new-phase">for anti-money laundering violations</a>, paid a $50 million fine, and stepped down from the CEO's role.&nbsp;
Moreover, according to a Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/javierpaz/2024/06/14/how-cryptos-richest-billionaire-doubled-his-net-worth-behind-bars/">report</a>, he owns an estimated 94 million BNB tokens, roughly 64% of the total circulating supply.
Binance has yet to respond to Benzinga's request for comment on the exclusion from the reserve.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Litecoin&#8217;s Privacy: The Reason Behind Exclusion?</h2>
Another popular coin whose exclusion might have surprised some was Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>).&nbsp;
After all, the altcoin is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43047964/litecoin-surges-12-after-analyst-says-altcoin-most-likely-to-have-next-etf-after-bitcoin-ethereum">expected to be the next exchange-traded fund</a> on Wall Street after Bitcoin and Ethereum, with characteristics deemed "very" similar to the apex cryptocurrency.
So, what happened?
Stadelmann believes a privacy-friendly update executed by the Litecoin network in 2022 could be the reason.
"Perhaps Litecoin's 2022 MimbleWimble update, which allows for private transactions where only the sender and receiver know the details, gives Trump pause," Stadelmann told Benzinga.&nbsp;
Notably, the newly added privacy features created a storm, leading to <a href="https://upbit.com/service_center/notice?id=2714">delisting</a> from South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges over conflict with the country's reporting requirements.  
In its defense. Litecoin has stated that MimbleWimble is an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/20/10/17746253/maker-cardano-litecoin-american-wrap-1012020">optional feature</a>.
A spokesperson from the Litecoin Foundation backed LTC's inclusion in a U.S. cryptocurrency reserve and expressed optimism that things could change for the better.
"We are hopeful that thoughtful consideration is given to projects that can provide long-term value for a crypto reserve, and we are confident that if a crypto reserve is passed in Congress, that Litecoin would inevitably be added, given its similar characteristics to Bitcoin and value proposition."
