Now there are only a few days left before the arrival of the Spring Festival stalls in 2024, and according to domestic film platforms, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the pre-sale box office has exceeded 2200 million RMB. The total pre-sale box office of the entire Spring Festival stalls has approached 300 million yuan, among which "Flying Life 2" starring Shen Teng took the lead in breaking through 60 million at the pre-sale box office, temporarily ranking first in the Spring Festival pre-sale box office list.
"Hot and Hot", directed and acted by Jia Ling, followed by a small margin, ranking second in the pre-sale box office list; "Article 20", directed by Zhang Yimou, ranked third at the pre-sale box office.
The above three movies constitute the first echelon of this year's Spring Festival pre-sale box office list.
Previously, there were also three films in the second echelon, and their pre-sale box office results were not far behind those of the first echelon films. However, now, there is only one film left in the second echelon, and this film in the second echelon is the "Bear Infested" series of films "Bear Infested: Reversal of Time and Space" in the Spring Festival file.
At present, the pre-sale box office of "Bear Infested" has approached 30 million yuan, leaving less than half of the gap with the first-tier films. The gap between the other two films that were also in the second echelon with "Bear Infested", "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Bear Infested" is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, at the beginning, the pre-sale box office performance of "Bear Infested" was not as good as "Mr. Red Carpet" starring Andy Lau. However, within a few days, "Bear Infested" overtook "Mr. Red Carpet", and it didn't take long for "Bear Infested" to crush "Mr. Red Carpet" in all aspects.
First of all, the proportion of "Mr. Red Carpet" is only 81%, while the proportion of "Bear Infested" has reached 107%；Secondly, the pre-sale box office performance of "Bear Infested" was more than 10 million yuan more than that of "Mr. Red Carpet".
A live-action movie starring a superstar, the number of films and pre-sale box office results are far inferior to an animated movie, it seems that "Mr. Red Carpet" is really not taken seriously.
Recently, Andy Lau, as the leading actor, has been promoting his movie "Mr. Red Carpet" in major live broadcast rooms, but this does not seem to have played a big role. There is still no increase in film schedules, and the improvement of pre-sale box office results is also very slow.
Seeing such a result, Andy Lau may really "want to cry without tears".
