LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A Chinese trade association may owe over $100 million in unpaid royalties to several of Hollywood’s biggest studios, according to a report.

The China Film Group, which handles theatrical film distribution throughout China, has delayed payments for box office receipts on some of the Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, including “Man of Steel”, “Skyfall”, and “Star Trek Into Darkness”, The Hollywood Reporter reported Tuesday.

Studios haven’t been paid since late 2012 allegedly over a 2 percent value-added tax, which the China Film Group – a government-controlled entity that determines which films get released in China – wants the producers to pay, according to the Reporter.

Pamela McClintock, The Hollywood Reporter’s senior film writer, told KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO film execs are still mulling their strategy in China, which is expected to become the largest moviegoing market in the world within the next five years.
