Beijing Polybona Film Distribution Co. Ltd. (simplified Chinese: 保利博纳电影发行有限公司; traditional Chinese: 保利博納電影發行公司), known simply as, Polybona Films and Bona Film Group, is a Chinese production company, involved in the production, co-production and distribution of films from China and Hong Kong. It is run as a subsidiary company of the China Poly Group Corporation and is one of China’s largest share-holding film distribution companies.
It was nicknamed “the Chinese Miramax” by Screen International in 2005, and its CEO, Yu Dong, was selected as one of “the future’s most influential filmmakers” by The Hollywood Reporter in November 2006.
Founded in 1999, Polybona was the first domestic private firm to receive a film distribution license from the SARFT. In November 2003, it merged with the China Poly Group, a wealthy business conglomerate wing of the Chinese military, the People's Liberation Army, to form PolyBona Film Distribution.
The company has distributed over 120 domestic and foreign films, including Confession of Pain, Protégé, The Myth, Initial D, and Dragon Tiger Gate, generating over RMB 1 billion (approximately US$130 million) in box office revenue, capturing over 20% of the overall market share for five years running.
