Those 330 million have highest spending capacity in the world so that makes big difference.

Are those Chinese movies making big revenues outside China? Until that happens they are just catering local market. So far Chinese movies successful in China or Chinese speaking population. I think it is just logical thing not world changing.

One can also read about Indian movie economics where movies with massive budgets sank like giant turds. Clueless directors in India are shocked that their successful formula of movies is failing so badly.

Kids today also do not want to be doctors, should I be worried that no one will be there to treat my old ass very soon?

As long as the Chinese government controls/censors scripts, they won't move beyond Chinese borders much.

In fact, there is more control in this regard lately.

Hong Kong had a nice international movie market, especially for action flicks, but that's dead now.
