On the first weekend after the Spring Festival, some people are still happy and some are worried. This weekend, the mainland film market has the premieres of four new films, "Argyll: Mystery**", "The Legend of Nezha City with Eight Arms", "I Still Think You're the Best 2", and "Southwest and Northeast Guest", but unfortunately they can't beat the Spring Festival blockbusters where Yu Wei is still there, and they have basically become box office cannon fodder.
Zero at the box office? This week's new film is really a bit miserable. The most vocal of this week's new films is undoubtedly "I Still Think You're the Best 2". The sequel to "Still Think You're the Best", the champion of the 2024 Hong Kong Spring Festival, broke the record of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" Hong Kong Chinese comedy, and the film company also attaches great importance to the mainland market, after all, the previous work is 77 million Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong market, and the mainland market will casually break 100 million.
It's a pity that Huang Zihua stopped acting this time, and the quality of the movie declined. As of 21 o'clock on February 25th, the single-day box office of "I Still Think You're the Best 2" was only 2.94 million, and the cumulative box office in 2 days of release was only 9.95 million, and the final box office broke 25 million.
The highest cost of this week's new film is undoubtedly "Argyll: Mystery**", a Hollywood blockbuster that cost $200 million, at the overseas box office of just over $80 million, and spent $80 million in publicity and distribution costs, which is simply the biggest box office in Hollywood this year. Unexpectedly, as of 21 o'clock on February 25, the single-day box office of the movie was only 2.95 million, and the cumulative box office in the three days of release was only more than 10 million.
As for "The Legend of Eight-armed Nezha City" and "Southwest and Northeast Guest", the two small-budget productions, the box office is even lower. With an all-star lineup of Hao Shaowen, Zhao Liang, Jiang Chao and other all-star lineups, "Southwest and Northeast Guest" had a box office of only 0 in the first weekend60,000, the theater of "The Legend of Nezha City with Eight Arms" did not schedule the number of screenings at all, and the box office was zero. In contrast, the new films of the Spring Festival are alive and well.
The box office broke 30 in 16 days6.1 billion, Shen Teng's law is about to come true, Jia Ling's annual champion can't be kept? As of 21 o'clock on February 25th, the top three single-day box office are "Article 20", "Flying Life 2" and "Bear Infested: Reversal of Time and Space". The single-day box office of "Article 20" exceeded 81.37 million, accounting for 272%, accounting for 308%, and the cumulative box office exceeded 20 in 16 days of release5.7 billion. This is already the seventh daily crown of the movie, and soon "Article 20" will exceed the number of days of the daily crown of "Hot and Hot", but unfortunately the movie is too far behind the box office during the Spring Festival, and it is unlikely that the final box office will break 3 billion.
The single-day box office of "Flying Life 2" exceeded 73.06 million, accounting for more than 275% and 277%。The cumulative box office exceeded 30 in 16 days of release6.1 billion! I have to say that movies with 100% content have never lost! Before the release of "Flying Life 2", there were actually a lot of voices, Han Han's last movie "Four Seas" failed at the box office, and Han Han's comedy of the youth model in the small town seems to be not popular.
However, this time Han Han learned a lesson, Xiao Xianrou can be used, but Shen Teng must be the big male protagonist. "Flying Life 2" is dominated by Shen Teng from beginning to end, Fan Chengcheng is a little fresh meat to give a fixed character, covering up the lack of acting skills, and in the case that Xuanfa is not the opponent of "Hot and Hot" at all, "Flying Life 2" is tightly bitten at the box office. A movie with 100% content has never been lost! This Shen Teng's law has indeed come true.
Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" counterattacked "Hot and Hot" to win the third place at the daily box office, which is really surprising. The single-day box office of the movie exceeded 51.04 million, and the proportion of films scheduled was only 147%, but the box office share is as high as 193%, the attendance rate is even higher than that of "Article 20", and the cumulative box office in 16 days of release has exceeded 182.4 billion, which has surpassed "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" to win the runner-up in Chinese film history cartoons!
The speed at which "Hot and Hot" fell behind is a bit beyond imagination. The single-day box office of the movie was 49.87 million, accounting for 246%, but the box office accounted for only 189%。The attendance rate is the bottom of the four new films in the same period of the Spring Festival. The cumulative box office broke 32 in 16 days of release8.5 billion, it is still the Spring Festival stall and the box office champion in 2024, but there is a faint trend of unsteady.
At the end of the Spring Festival, the box office gap between "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2" was close to 400 million, but now it has been pulled closer to about 200 million by Shen Teng, and the daily box office gap between the two movies has also been widened to about 20 million, which means that if "Flying Life 2" can maintain a steady trend, it will surpass "Hot and Hot" in 10 days!
Jia Ling's annual box office champion may not be able to keep it. For Shen Teng, "Flying Life 2" counterattacked Jia Ling or second, and there was no problem with the final box office of ** movie breaking 3.5 billion. At present, Shen Teng's personal box office is 3317.8 billion, while the personal box office of Wu Jing, the box office king of Chinese film history, is 3349.5 billion, the box office difference between the two is only about 300 million, but "Flying Life 2" still has a box office increment of four or five billion, and there is no suspense that Shen Teng surpassed Wu Jing to win the first place in the personal box office in Chinese film history. We will witness the birth of a new generation of box office kings, a new generation of comedy kings!
