The company made world news on October 30, 2009, when theShenzhenStock ExchangeChiNextBoard was halted, after HBMC's stock price reached 122.74 percent above its IPO price, to open at 63.66 yuan per share.[1]Patrick Frater ofVarietycalled it "China’s largest private sector film conglomerate".[2]In 2014, the company was the seventh-largest film distributor in China, with 2.26% of the market.[3]

History[edit]

The company was founded in 1994 as a film production company. It underwent a comprehensive expansion into the media industry through investing and now produces movies, TV shows, & music and operates a film studio, TV production company, a talent agency, a record label, and movie theaters.[4] In February 2011, Huayi Brothers revealed their plans to create the largest TV and film studio complex in East Asia.[5]Also, they announced that they aim to earn 10 billion yuan in the box office by 2016.[6]As of April 2015, the company was worth US$7.9 billion.[7]

In 2014 the company announced that it had agreed to invest as much as $150 million in Studio 8, the production company launched by formerWarner Bros.executive Jeff Robinov, but Shanghai-based conglomerateFosun Internationallater signed a deal to invest in Robinov's company instead.[8]The same year the company acquired 79% stake[9][10][11][12]inGDC Technology Limited,aDigital Cinemasolutions provider, which was held by private equity fundsCarlyle GroupandYunfeng Capital.[13][14][15]

Around 2019, after the delay ofThe Eight Hundreddue to censorship, the company created a novelChinese Communist Partycommittee so that “correct political orientation... [would] mix the core socialist values of the party deeper into the company’s blood”.[16]

Huayi Brothers Movie World is a theme park inspired by the Huayi Brothers' movies, television shows, celebrities, and pop culture.[17]The park is designed to be immersive with technology, and features immersive environments that celebrate the Huayi Brothers' movies and characters. The park opened inSuzhou,China on July 22 2018, and was the first of several planned developments in China.[17]
