Although December 30 is the first day of the New Year's Day holiday.
However, on December 29, 5 new films have been released, ready to seize the opportunity of the 2024 New Year's Day file, but the box office performance of these five new films is not outstanding, and it is obvious that the upcoming Chinese New Year's Eve is the box office high.
Andy Lau beat Dapeng to win the championship, can "Sneaking" help Hong Kong films fight for a breath?
As of 22 o'clock on December 29, the single-day box office champions and runners-up in the mainland were "Sneaking" and "Annual Meeting Can't Stop!".》。
The box office of "Sneaking" broke 46 million on the first day, accounting for 18 of the film schedule1%, accounting for 334%。
This kind of attendance rate is excellent in this year's Hong Kong films, and it is also a rare Hong Kong film that can beat the mainland big production released on the same day to win the championship, we all know that Hong Kong films will really be beaten very badly in 2023, and the annual box office champion of Hong Kong films "Sweeping Drugs 3" is only 28.4 billion, which is not more than a fraction of "Man Jianghong".
Hong Kong film fans are counting on "Sneaking" and "Goldfinger" on New Year's Day to fight for a breath.
It's a pity that the pre-sale of "Goldfinger" fell behind early, but the unpromising "Sneaking" featured Andy Lau, and the box office sold well, but it is worth noting that Andy Lau plays the villain in the film, and the real actor is Lin Jiadong.
According to the current trend, the final box office of "Sneaking" is expected to hit 500 million!
Unless "Goldfinger" counterattacks, the 2023 Hong Kong film annual champion is estimated to belong to Andy Lau.
However, the word-of-mouth of "Stealth" is a big problem.
"Sneaking" is a typical flowing Hong Kong film, or a Hong Kong film with undercover drug trafficking and police bandits, but this film is quite well-made, the action scenes are grand, and the sea, land and air are all in battle, Andy Lau, Lin Jiadong, Lin Xue, Liu Yase, and Ren Dahua are all actors at the level of actors and actresses, even if they play averagely, but the foundation is still there.
It's a pity that the plot of the movie is too old-fashioned.
Counting "Sweeping Drugs 3" and "Breaking Point", there are three works about undercover in this year's Hong Kong film productions alone, and the audience is really tired of watching it, the villain played by Andy Lau is elegant in appearance, cruel and bloodthirsty in his bones, but he is also drowned in the overall mediocrity.
It's time for Hong Kong films to make a breakthrough.
The annual meeting can't be stopped!The box office on the first day was 35.78 million, and the theater chain must be optimistic about Dapeng's new comedy film.
gave "The Annual Meeting Can't Be Stopped!".>> up to 21With a 3% proportion of films, it is really surprising that it can't beat "Sneak", mainly because "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!".carried out a large-scale early screening for about a week, which did reduce the box office explosiveness on the first day of release a lot, and the cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 81.6 million on the first day plus the previous screening.
It shouldn't be a big problem for the final box office to break 500 million, and this is also Dapeng's fifth box office hit this year.
laughed, there were 82 audiences on the premiere day, and the box office was only 2448 yuan, and the worst new film in the New Year's Day file was born!
Stealth" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!".basically stole all the attention of the market, which naturally led to the 3 new films released on the same day being beaten miserably!
As of 22 o'clock on December 29, the box office of the fantasy adventure film "Golden Mask Hero" on the first day was only 3980 thousand. This film, known as the Chinese animated version of the Avengers, tells the story of China's Sanxingdui is actually guarded by five heroes with masks, all of whom have their own superpowers, but unfortunately the picture is rough, the special effects pull the hips, and the box office is not good.
There is also the horror film "Hunting" with a box office of only 4,038 yuan on the first day, and the performance is also extremely dismal.
Of course, the worst is "Love at Three and a Half".
We all know that New Year's Eve and New Year's Day love and comedy are definitely the most advantageous genre films, but the box office of "Love at Three and a Half" on the first day was only 2448 yuan, and the number of moviegoers on the premiere day was only 82 people.
"Love at Three and a Half" can be called a collection of domestic bloody plots.
The male protagonist has the so-called artistic talent, because the relationship between the original family has become a melancholy handsome guy. The heroine is a learner.
The male protagonist was attracted by the so-called temperament of the female protagonist, and even the depression was cured, and he was full of hope for the future, at this time the heroine's fiancé appeared, so the plot staged a love triangle, and then the heroine's fiancé's family arranged a business marriage.
The whole story becomes a four-cornered love, which is really a mess and makes people's heads big.
The director and actors of "Love at Three and a Half" are almost all making movies for the first time, and their acting skills are basically none, all of them are paralyzed, or their expressions are out of control, and the rhythm of the story is chaotic.
