It is said that Hong Kong movies have declined, but what people didn't expect is that the current Hong Kong movies are not only declining, but have even entered the darkest moment.
Throughout 2023, the Chinese mainland market has successively introduced no less than a dozen Hong Kong films starring Hong Kong superstar actors, but among them, the best box office performance "Goldfinger", the cumulative total box office is less than 600 million yuan, and the score has just exceeded 60 points. You must know that in order to get more attention and expectations from the audience, this Hong Kong film "Goldfinger" can be said to have come up with a "Wang Bang lineup", with Andy Lau and Tony Leung co-starring, in addition to Cai Zhuoyan, Ren Dahua, Fang Zhongxin and Jiang Haowen and many other well-known Hong Kong stars joined. However, the total box office of this film is less than 600 million, and the score is not very high, and Hong Kong films seem to be getting farther and farther away from us.
In 2024, I thought that the New Year would have a new atmosphere, and I thought that Hong Kong movies would be able to use the happy atmosphere of the New Year to rush into joy. But what is surprising is that the first film work went straight to failure.
This year, the first Hong Kong film introduced to the mainland market was "The Three Great Robbery" co-starring Aaron Kwok, Lam Ka-tung and Yam Xianqi. At the beginning, this film attracted a lot of attention and expectations through various publicity.
But when the film was officially released, the audience found that its quality was not as good as they imagined, let alone as good as they imagined. So its final box office results are not very ideal, only 23.7 billion yuan, the score is not very high, and it has just passed.
Although the first movie has already failed, the final box office of "Temporary Robbery" still exceeded 200 million, and the score also reached the passing line.
And the next Hong Kong film can be said to have completely led Hong Kong movies into the darkest moment.
During the Spring Festival on February 16 this year, the pure Hong Kong film "Breaking the War", co-starring Wu Zhenyu and Ren Dahua, two powerful Hong Kong actors, began to be broadcast on the **on** platform.
On the first day of its launch, although "Breaking War" had already topped the popularity list, it only had more than 400,000 viewers, and the box office was less than 1.7 million.
Now that a week has passed, the cumulative box office of this film is only 6.37 million.
Compared with the low box office, the worst performance of the Hong Kong film "Breaking the War" is the audience's word-of-mouth. According to Douban, only more than 2,400 viewers have given the film a 3A score of 2. This means that in the eyes of most people, "Breaking the War" is a big bad movie.
After watching it, many viewers said that "Breaking the War" is like playing at home, the plot is sparse, the acting skills of all the members are not **, and the lines and dialogues are also ridiculous. In this way, most people believe that the darkest moment for Hong Kong films has come, and Ren Dahua and Wu Zhenyu, the two major Hong Kong actors, have completely destroyed Hong Kong films.
