Although the mainland film market has fallen into weakness, the blessing of Christmas has made the working day of December 25 still a bright spot in the box office market. On the same day, the box office of the first three films in the mainland film market exceeded 100 million, which is a highlight for the Chinese New Year. It is a pity that "Aquaman 2" did not seize this opportunity and lost its status as the champion on the 6th day of release. As of 21 o'clock on December 25, the top three single-day box office in the mainland are "Three Teams", "Aquaman 2" and "Angry Tide".
The Three Teams" counterattacked, breaking through 4 within 11 days of its releaseWith a box office of 5.3 billion, Chen Sicheng will surpass Huang Bo with this film and win the throne of the box office champion of the Chinese New Year. On the same day, the single-day box office of "The Three Majors" reached 23.91 million, accounting for 207%, but the box office share is as high as 301%。Its attendance rate far exceeded that of the new film "Aquaman 2" in the same period, and finally successfully counterattacked and won the box office championship of the day. The cumulative box office of this film in 11 days of release has exceeded 45.3 billion.
Although compared with "Wading the Angry Sea", which was released at the same time, it broke 4 in 11 daysThere is a slight gap of 6.1 billion, but the box office momentum of "The Three Majors" is obviously more sufficient. Coupled with the fact that it will not welcome opponents until Chinese New Year's Eve, "The Three Majors" is expected to break through the box office of 600 million, surpassing the 54.8 billion, becoming the box office champion of this year's Chinese New Year. However, compared with previous years, the box office performance of the new films in this year's Chinese New Year stalls is not satisfactory.
In recent years, the Lunar New Year stalls seem to have gradually lost their luster, especially the market is more inclined to make New Year's Eve and New Year's Day another ** schedule, resulting in a further decline in the importance of the Lunar New Year stalls. Despite this, as the main battlefield of the Lunar New Year stalls in December, there will always be a 1 billion-level blockbuster, which can be regarded as the last "face" of the Lunar New Year stalls.
The mainland box office of "Avatar 2", which was released on December 16, 2022, has exceeded 1.6 billion;"Manslaughter 2", which was released on December 17, 2021, reached 112.1 billion;"Bomb Disposal Expert 2", which was released on December 24, 2020, achieved 131.4 billion at the box office. In addition, 2019's "Manslaughter" and 2018's "Aquaman" are also super hits.
However, I am afraid that no new film in this year's Chinese New Year file will be able to break through the 1 billion box office mark, and this is still under the condition that blockbusters gather, Chen Sicheng, Zhang Yi, Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Wu Jing and other superstars joined. Perhaps 2023 will become a turning point for the Chinese New Year, and after that, I am afraid that no real domestic blockbuster will be willing to choose to be released in this schedule. And "Aquaman 2" was ousted from the championship only 5 days after its release, which really surprised Chinese audiences.
The movie "Aquaman 2" reached 21.85 million at the box office in a single day, accounting for 28% of the films, which was the highest among the new films at that time, but the box office accounted for only 275%, the attendance rate is not even as good as "Raging Tide". Although it won the championship for 5 out of 6 days of release, according to the current trend, it is expected that "Aquaman 2" is likely to lose the status of the Japanese champion. The cumulative box office of the movie has reached 24.6 billion, and it is expected that the final mainland box office will exceed 3500 million, there is no suspense about this. This time "Aquaman 2" can be said to have suffered a global failure.
The global opening weekend box office was only 10.8 billion US dollars, of which the North American box office is only 28 million US dollars, and the Chinese market has become the largest box office for the film. not only solved the dilemma of "Aquaman 2" at the box office, but also the highest evaluation of it by mainland audiences in the world. Although overseas, the freshness of "Aquaman 2" on Rotten Tomatoes is only 37%, in the mainland market, the Douban score has reached 68 points, the score of the ticketing platform is as high as 89 points, which can be said to be quite a good score.
The Chinese audience really stubbornly turned the evaluation of "Aquaman 2" from a bad review to a mixed one!As the curtain call of the DC Cinematic Universe, it can be regarded as saving the last shred of face in the Chinese market. The film only cost 30 million, and the box office has exceeded 1 in 10 days9.3 billion, and it seems that actors have crossed over to become directors. Although "Angry Tide" did not win the Japanese crown in one fell swoop, the days were very nourishing. The single-day box office of the film exceeded 11.28 million, and the cumulative box office in 10 days of release has reached 19.3 billion.
Although this achievement is not eye-catching in the new Chinese New Year film, this movie is produced by Taochang, which is essentially an upgraded version of an online masterpiece. According to online reports, the production cost of the film is only 30 million. Whether it is Zhang Jiahui or Ruan Jingtian, the salary will not be too high, and the film can use limited funds for production. At present, the box office of the film film has exceeded 60 million, which can be regarded as a rare blockbuster for this year's Chinese New Year.
Of course, "Raging Tide" also has another significance, that is, there are finally actors who dare to cross over to be directors. Since Wu Jing directed and acted in "Wolf Warrior 2" to break the ceiling of domestic films, actors as directors once became the mainstream of the entertainment industry. Li Chen, Liu Ruoying, Bao Bell, Article, Deng Chao, Zhang Han, Sha Yi and many other well-known actors have tried to direct, but unfortunately most of the works are not satisfactory in terms of reputation and box office, resulting in this trend has abated in recent years.
However, in fact, actors have their advantages as directors, Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Stephen Chow, etc. are typical representatives. Ma Yuke not only successfully wrote, directed and acted in an excellent work this time, but also reminded the audience of the memories of the classic roles he played in "You Tanzhi" and "Duan Kun in Tsim Sha Tsui", which can be described as a person in the play. With the successful blessing of "Angry Tide", I believe that Ma Yuke will be more smooth on the road of acting in the future.
