The 2025 Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) kicked off with record-breaking international attendance and a major box office milestone, as Taiwan’s Minister of Culture Li Yuan revealed that local action thriller “96 Minutes” has crossed NT$200 million ($6.4 million) at the country’s box office.
The achievement marks a dramatic turnaround for Taiwan’s film industry, which nearly collapsed in the early 21st century when local productions were earning less than NT$1 million per film. “If you know that situation, you’ll understand how we struggled for 10 to 20 years before Taiwan’s film and television industry rose again,” Li said during the opening ceremony.
