Close 'Ten Years' as shown in Hong Kong on a make-shift screen in the protest zone of the Legislative Council in the Admiralty district on April 1, 2016

Hong Kong (AFP) - Thousands of moviegoers on Friday flocked to mass screenings of Hong Kong film "Ten Years", a provocative futuristic portrayal of the city that has riled China.

Released at the end of last year, it has been a box office hit locally -- despite only getting a short run in cinemas -- and has raised hackles on the mainland amid increasing fears in Hong Kong over Beijing's tightening grip.
