2024 Mainland Film Market: Crushing North America, the birth of a global hegemon!
The Spring Festival, the carnival of the Chinese, is also a feast for the mainland film market. In 2024, mainland films will take the Spring Festival as an opportunity to completely crush the North American market and become the new darling of the global film market.
This year, Hollywood doesn't seem to have had any luck getting off to a good start. Although Jason Statham's "The Beekeeper" barely recouped its cost, it was difficult to satisfy the box office and word-of-mouth, and "Argyll: Mystery**" suffered a fiasco at the global box office and became the unjust leader of Apple's stream. Even the Marvel series of "Madame Spider" has not escaped the fate of box office **.
In contrast, domestic films have performed well. Domestic films such as "Hot and Hot", "Flying Life 2", "Article 20", and "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" have won the top four global annual box office in 2024. Among them, "Hot and Hot" relied on Jia Ling's talent to win a box office of 3.4 billion yuan in the mainland market alone, and achieved good results in overseas markets, with a global box office of more than 4$8.2 billion, winning the global annual box office champion in 2024.
However, the good times were short-lived. Hollywood's counterattack is about to begin, and "Dune 2" is seen as the most likely film to compete with "Hot and Hot" for the global crown of the year. The opening weekend box office exceeded 12$800 million, becoming the North American champion and released in 71 markets worldwide, setting an impressive box office record. Its overseas reputation is even higher, with a 94% freshness and an IMDB score of 9, making it a highly anticipated restricted blockbuster.
However, "Dune 2" and "Hot and Hot" are both scheduled to be released in each other's markets on March 8, which makes people look forward to the contest between the two. Can one side dominate? Maybe it depends on the acceptance of the two movies by overseas audiences. Let's wait and see this pinnacle of the global film market!
The rise of the mainland film market has not only made Hollywood feel the pressure of competition, but also brought more diverse film choices to the audience. In 2024, the perfect start of the mainland film market will make people look forward to the future development even more.
However, don't forget last year's surprise, "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week", as a small production with a cost of less than 10 million, broke through 1 at the box office in 3 days after its release300 million. Although it is slightly inferior to "Dune 2", it also shows the vitality and potential of domestic films.
In 2024, the mainland film market will continue to prosper, surpassing North America in terms of box office performance and word-of-mouth influence. With the emergence of more excellent works, mainland films are destined to occupy a more important position in the global film market and become the new darlings of global films.
