Beijing, July 18 (Xinhua) Chinese film producers are struggling to make ends meet even though the country's movie industry earns good profits, say officials.

Hollywood blockbuster 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' collected 400 million yuan ($58.4 million) in China after the movie was released worldwide June 24, breaking the record set by 'Titanic' ten years ago in the country.

'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', which hit the Chinese market Friday, is also expected to do good business in China.

The country's film business is profitable as Chinese movies earn good profits.

For instance, 'If You Are The One', a comedy made by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang, earned 325 million yuan this year. 'Silver Medalist', a black comedy by young director Ning Hao, grossed 100 million yuan this spring, says Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group Corporation.

Some industry critics, however, argue that domestic film producers are still struggling to make their ends meet.

The box office returns are usually divided into three parts: 50 percent goes to the cinema hall owners, 10 percent to the distributors and 40 percent to producers.
