On December 15, the mainland Chinese New Year file ushered in a high-profile film "The Three Teams". On the first day of release, "The Three Teams" exceeded 1The box office results of 0.4 billion won the Lunar New Year champion in one fell swoop, and Chen Sicheng's talent will also surpass Huang Bo. As of 9 a.m. on December 15, the box office of the film on the first day has reached 3.83 million, accounting for 334%。
Coupled with the screening results of the past week, the cumulative box office of "The Three Majors" on the first day has exceeded 10.4 billion, becoming the first new film to exceed 100 million at the box office on the first day of this year's Chinese New Year. However, there seems to be some coincidence behind such results. Prior to this, Wang Baoqiang's movie "In the Octagon Cage" was screened on a large scale in advance in the summer and achieved box office success.
Many domestic films have also followed suit, in order to accumulate word-of-mouth and create a momentum of first-day box office popularity, so that the filmmakers can show excellent box office results in publicity. "The Three Teams" received a good reputation and box office during the screening, and it makes sense to adopt this strategy. However, the biggest gain of "The Three Majors" during the screening period did not come from the box office, but from word of mouth.
Although Chen Sicheng is neither a director nor a starring actor, the audience knows that this is a typical Chen Sicheng-style work. Many people were worried that this excellent domestic story would be spoiled by Chen Sicheng, after all, what he is best at is borrowing from foreign classics. However, this time Chen Sicheng showed considerable restraint, and the suspense elements in "The Three Teams" were not used much, but were more inclined to realistic themes.
Chen Sicheng challenged his comfort zone, and despite criticism from some viewers, he had to admit that he did have a talent for filmmaking. "The Three Teams" also did a pretty good job of adapting the story. In real life, Cheng Bing has always chased the murderer alone, but in the movie, he was adapted to act with the rest of the team.
However, life is often full of uncertainties, and the players are leaving one after another, which reflects the warmth and highlights the hardships of Cheng Bing. When the last teammate leaves on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the reunion, the melody of "Unforgettable Tonight" sounds. This song is sung in the Spring Festival Gala all year round, but it makes the audience and Cheng Bing deeply feel sad. Judging from the current word-of-mouth and trend, I am optimistic that the box office of "The Three Majors" will eventually exceed 1 billion.
The box office champion of this year's Lunar New Year stalls is currently "Wading Through the Angry Sea" starring Huang Bo, with a total box office of 5400 million. The film has entered the final stage, and the final box office is expected to stabilize at 5About 500 million. Therefore, Chen Sicheng easily surpassed Huang Bo's results, and the expectation that "The Three Teams" will win the Lunar New Year championship is also increasing.
This year's Chinese New Year blockbusters are gathered, and blockbusters such as "Aquaman 2", "Twinkle Twinkle and Twinkle Star", "Goldfinger" and "If You Are the Truth 3" will be released. Whether Chen Sicheng can keep the box office champion of the Lunar New Year stalls has become a matter of great concern. However, he faces a big problem - the potential threat of Detective Conan. Although Chen Sicheng's film "The Three Teams" performed well at the word-of-mouth and box office, this week's opponents were also strong.
Luc Besson's "Dog God", which was released on December 15, only had a box office of 340,000 on the first day, and the final box office in the mainland is expected to be around 10 million, and this Saturday, December 16, Chen Sicheng will face two major opponents again, "Raging Tide" and "Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron".
In particular, "Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron", as the most popular Japanese anime IP for mainland audiences, the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" has a very solid foundation in the mainland market. And "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" is the most outstanding word-of-mouth and box office performance of the series in recent years.
The overseas box office of the film has exceeded 10.7 billion US dollars, although the mainland release time is more than half a year later than overseas, but the enthusiasm of mainland fans has not diminished, and the current movie pre-sale tickets have exceeded 14 million, which will become the strongest competitor of "The Three Teams". The strength of another "Angry Tide" should not be underestimated.
Although Ma Yuke is not as famous as Chen Sicheng, many viewers are no strangers to his face, because he has played You Tanzhi in "Dragon Babu", played the role of wage earner Ah Hao in "Escape", and played the white-haired Tsim Sha Tsui Duan Kun in "Sweeping Drugs", and he has created many classic villains.
And this time, "Angry Tide", which he wrote, acted and directed, is full of a fanatical temperament. The cast of the film is also impressive, with nearly 20 stars such as Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Jingtian, Wang Dalu, Qin Pei, and Chen Guokun all starring. Perhaps the film will be a box office dark horse this weekend.
