Despite the high investment and slow return, the IMAX market has expanded dramatically.  Industry insiders said, this is mainly because IMAX showed a super suction capacity. 2008, Hollywood animation blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda" in the domestic release, when China has 9 IMAX screen screening of the film, the final box office to 804,000 U.S. dollars, the film's total box-office 3%.  9 screens, less than 0.4% of the total screen in China.
