According to the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of 13:09 on February 17, the total box office (including pre-sale) of the 2024 Spring Festival stalls (February 10-February 17) exceeded 7.8 billion! broke the box office record of the Spring Festival stalls in 2021.
Although "Bear Infested. "Reversal of Time and Space" ranked third at the box office, but "Article 20" has made a strong counterattack in the past few days, and the box office can be said to be soaring all the way, and I believe that it will soon surpass "Bear Infested". Reversal of Time and Space", which will compete with Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" and Shen Teng's "Flying Life 2".
The reason why "Article 20" came from behind is because the quality of the movie is very high, but a few days before the release, many fans were blinded by its subject matter, but fortunately, a good movie is a good movie, and it will always shine, and it has been hot recently, saying that there are too many moving moments in "Article 20" and many moving lines.
Article 20 not only moved the fans, but even professional judicial professionals couldn't help but call for it, Professor Luo Xiang even said, "This matter is really related to everyone", it is worth mentioning that the three cases in "Article 20" are adapted from real cases, they are Kunshan anti-homicide case, Fuzhou Zhao Yu case and Laiyuan anti-homicide case and other real cases in reality.
Seeing the success of today's movie "Article 20", people unconsciously think of another movie that was also adapted from a real case a few years ago, that is, the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" directed by Wen Muye and starring Xu Zheng and Wang Chuanjun, fans rated it better than "Article 20" 7A rating of 7 is much higher.
I remember that when "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was first released in 2018, it was even more popular, and the box office exceeded the 3 billion mark, at that time it was only a summer vacation, I really didn't dare to think that it would be released during the Spring Festival, how much box office would "I Am Not the God of Medicine" have?
Not only is the box office hot, but in terms of ratings, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" ranks 33rd in the Douban movie TOP250, with a Douban score of 90 points, becoming the most successful movie in China in the past 20 years, I believe that friends who have watched the movie will still be moved to cry by the line of the old lady pleading for the god of medicine in "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
It is said that a good movie does not need too much interpretation, nor does it need to be redundantly rendered, sometimes just a few lines close to the people can move people's hearts.
Finally, do you think "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is more touching or "Article 20" is more touching?
