Bona Film Group Ltd is incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 8, 2010. On December 14, 2010, it completed its initial public offering. The Company operates as a film distributor in China. It distributes films through virtually all of the theater circuits in China. It has distribution rights to a selection of films through joint distribution arrangements with industry participants such as the state-owned China Film Group Corporation. It has distributed 39 Chinese films (including Hong Kong films) internationally. In addition to film distribution and film and television production operations, it owns and operates 21 movie theaters in commercial districts and residential areas in several major cities in China. The Company's film distribution activities consist of film sourcing, which includes identifying quality film projects with commercial potential and securing film distribution rights; print and marketing, which includes coordinating the distribution of film prints to theater circuits, as well as conducting marketing and publicity campaigns to promote the films to their target audiences; exhibition, which includes negotiating the terms of exhibitions of films in domestic and international movie theaters as well as through non-theatrical distribution channels and film advertising, which includes the sale of approximately three minutes advertising time immediately prior to the start of the theatrical screening of a film, in-film product placements and cross-promotion campaigns.

Its competitors in film distribution and production include state-owned enterprises such as China Film Group and non state-owned companies such as Huayi Brothers. Its trademark includes "Bona".
