Movie ticket sales in China have generated more than $1.5 billion so far this summer , a little more than half of last year's record $2.89 billion .

Summer is usually one of three lucrative periods for China 's movie industry.

Industry analysts, observers and customers say a slower economy and a lack of creative domestic films are to blame for the decline.

Movie ticket sales always have seasonal ups and downs, Mai said, so people should be focusing more on long-term trends. Adrianna Zhang contributed to this report..
