In the Chinese New Year file on December 8, a total of 10 new movies were unveiled.
Faced with competitive pressure from 10 new films, the previous single-day box office champion "Wading the Angry Sea" had to give up its market position. However, the popularity of the new film is not high, and the number of screenings scheduled is not much different, so in this case, the box office performance is not as good as it could be!
After 8 hours of hard work, the box office exceeded 4.9 million, successfully defeating Huang Bo, making Liu Yan's new film the box office champion on the first day of release!
Despite the sheer number of new releases, the only ones that really caught the eye were "The Illumination Shop," "Hidden from the Sea," "Breaking Point" and "Wonka."
All four new films managed to make it into the top five at the single-day box office.
As of 8 o'clock on December 8th, the box office of "Lighting Store", starring Liu Yan, Zhang Ruonan, Bai Yufan, Liu Yijun and other stars, exceeded 4.9 million on the first day. Not only did it beat last week's champion Huang Bo's "Wading Through the Angry Sea," but it also achieved the number one box office result in a new film on the same day. However, the proportion of films scheduled is only 82%, so it is uncertain whether it can maintain the advantage of the box office, and when it comes to the ** period of the evening, the box office is likely to be surpassed.
The Illumination Store is based on the classic Korean horror manga of the same name.
The story depicts the daily life of a couple of lovers who venture into a mysterious illuminated store.
No matter how domestic horror movies initially set the mood, most of the time they are pretending. This audience must also know that "The Illuminated Shop" is more like a warm film with horror elements. After experiencing the terrifying atmosphere described in the first half of the film, the film enters the stage of emotional rendering. However, the theme of this kind of ** is still very good, mainly showing the goodness and beauty in human nature. Frankly, the film is a tearful work with horror elements added to it, with some similarities to the Korean film Happy Family.
Hiding from the World is also a remake of a movie.
In addition, "The Invisible Guest" is a very classic Spanish film, and the story has been adapted into several versions such as Hollywood, South Korea, etc., but this Chinese remake does feel a little confusing.
The film was produced in the mainland, and the team behind it is also from the mainland. Although the main actors are mainly actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the film is set in Southeast Asia, there is an obvious mismatch between the style of the director and the starring, the actor and the plot, making the whole movie like a stew in a saucepot. By 8 o'clock on December 8, the box office of the movie on the first day reached 4.7 million, and the proportion of films scheduled was only 115%。"Wuji" had a good reputation after its release, but the audience did not respond well. Its performance is moderate.
This week, the new film "Breaking Point" is the most expensive to make.
Operation Mekong, Operation Red Sea and Changjin Lake catapulted Lam to prominence as a superstar in the Hong Kong film industry. He returned to Hong Kong this time and brought the movie "Breaking Point", in which the action scenes are undoubtedly top-notch, and it is rumored that the production cost exceeded 200 million. However, both "Breaking Point" and "Operation Red Sea" are investments made by mainland companies. However, judging from the film materials, the primary producer of the film is Bona, and the second largest producer is Emperor, which is also regarded as a Hong Kong film invested by the mainland.
While willing to spend money, it doesn't mean that the audience will pay the bill.
As of 8 a.m. on December 8, the box office of the film on the first day reached 4.58 million, of which the proportion of scheduled films was 81%, which puts a lot of pressure on the return on investment.
The problem with the movie is that the action scenes are too intense and too large-scale, and the plot is too old-fashioned. The cast of Cheung Ka-fai and William Chan is unappealing to mainland audiences. Lin Chaoxian's hit movie box office is mainly focused on the main theme blockbuster, as a director, he will definitely not be able to compete with a gold-lettered signature movie like Zhang Yimou, hoping to achieve a counterattack through word-of-mouth.
After 14 days of release, "Wading in the Sea of Wrath" lost its title, and Hollywood's blockbuster also suffered a failure.
Judging from the single-day box office data, the difference between the top three is actually not significant, but the new movies released later appear to be a little unsatisfactory.
As of 8 o'clock on December 8, the box office of "Wonka" on the first day was only 2.34 million, and the proportion of films scheduled was 121%, audience attendance is the lowest. During this year's Chinese New Year, Hollywood launched many large-scale movies, but unfortunately, films such as "Star Wish", "Napoleon" and "Fast Rescue" were not released. And now, "Wonka" has become the new focus. Despite starring star Timothée Chalamet, the number of audiences for such cabaret films in mainland China is relatively small.
Wading in the Sea of Wrath unfortunately lost the first place at the single-day box office in the face of competition from 10 new films.
Despite this, the proportion of scheduled films remains at 163%, which demonstrates its strong box office potential. By 8 o'clock on December 8, the single-day box office of the movie reached 1.55 million, falling to the 8th place in the single-day box office list, and the total box office exceeded 48.8 billion mark.
Wading Through the Sea of Wrath, as the temporary box office champion of this year's Lunar New Year, has been in theaters for 14 days and won the box office championship in the next 13 days!From its premiere to the present, the film has been popular with the audience, and the box office has soared, becoming one of the highest-grossing movies in the summer file. Although "Wading in the Angry Sea" failed to win the title, as a film that has been in the snow for five years, its performance has been quite good, especially considering that the popularity of the new film this week is not high, and "Wading in the Angry Sea" even has a chance to regain the Japanese crown honor.
Among them, the final box office** was more than 700 million.
On December 8th, 6 new works including the movie "Rattle", "Soaring" and "The Last Night" will meet the audience. Unfortunately, most of these films failed to generate the expected box office revenue, with less than 300,000 on the first day, so they are likely to fall victim to the box office. The next wave of box office climaxes for the Lunar New Year may not be until December 15, when "The Three Teams" will also be released.
