Eight months after the theaters reopened, there are films that have spent more than two weeks in theaters.
In order for a Burmese film to be shown in theaters for more than one week, it is allowed to continue showing it for the second week if it earns 1,800,000 kyats within three days of the first week's release.
Directed by Ko Zaw (Arun Oo) of New Age Arun Oo Productions, which was released in December 2022, the film "Kyaw Kyi Chit Tae Tael" was released for six weeks.
After him, the film "The Teacher" directed by Nyo Min Lwin and directed by Nyo Min Lwin, which was released in March 2023, was released for less than nine weeks.
Production and theater circles say these records are the highest since the pandemic and the coup d'état. After this, the Burmese film market became almost alive and recovered.
At least three people who work deeply in the film industry and the market have told the BBC that a film's revenue has returned to tens of thousands of dollars, and the market has reopened for filmmakers and producers.
According to the information obtained from the film association and the producers, within a year and a half of the resumption of the current film market, Bobo Entertainment's "target" of film production. The film association and the film production community told the BBC that "The Caretaker" became an audience favorite and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Kyaw Kyi often loves, The Teacher and the three cars, which were aimed at earning more than 1,000 million . If it's on purpose, I get back between 9,000 and 10,000 million,'' said a member of the Myanmar Film Association.
The BBC has contacted Bobo Films about the state of the market, including box office receipts, but has yet to receive a response.
Therefore, the BBC cannot independently confirm the income of Bobo movie production.
From April 2022 to October 2023, when cinemas reopened and Myanmar films were shown again, a total of 55 Burmese films have been screened, according to the social network page of Mingaland Cinema. According to this number, there is a rate of three cars per month in one year and six months.
Among these, there were no less than 5 films that were released for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of nine weeks, according to announcements on the social network pages of these productions.
