--FILE--A moviegoer walks past a poster for the movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron" at a cinema in Yichang city, central China's Hubei province, 21 May 2015. China's movie business, which is growing at breakneck speed, has hit another milestone: The box-office haul has jumped nearly 50% from a year earlier. Chinese moviegoers spent $2.6 billion on tickets in the first five months of the year, according to film tracking firm Rentrak. This puts the country on pace to within a few years overtake the U.S. and Canada, which have racked up $4.3 billion in sales since January.There's a confluence of reasons behind the expansion. China's rising middle class has led to a multiplex building spree. American movies are also growing more popular, highlighted by the more than $600-million draw for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Furious 7."
