Although it has bid farewell to the Spring Festival file for 24 years, the Spring Festival movie still maintains its vitality. "Article 20" counterattacked word-of-mouth, "Flying Life 2" maintained a stable performance, and "Hot and Hot" exceeded 3.3 billion ...... box office
Although the single-day box office of these films is not as good as the peak of the Spring Festival, it is still impressive, and the daily box office growth of tens of millions is amazing. However, the most surprising is not limited to this.
In the highly competitive environment of February and March, an anime film called "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" stood out with the most reliable growth.
Although in the Spring Festival file, the box office of "Reversal of Time and Space" is far less than that of films such as "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Hot", the development momentum of this film is extremely solid. Not only has the average daily box office remained stable, but even the gap with the box office at the top of the list has gradually narrowed.
However, what is even more impressive than its box office growth is the performance of this film. Take, for example, its performance on March 2, 2024.
Although "Reversal of Time and Space" has only 40,000 screenings, which is not even half of the first three films, it has a staggering 15The 3% attendance rate contributed nearly 32 million to the box office that day, which is really eye-popping.
The Spring Festival has passed, and even "Hot and Hot", which won the box office championship, has begun to decline. However, "Reversal of Time and Space" still maintains a strong momentum, which really surprises and delights netizens!
What's even more puzzling is why "Reversal of Time and Space" is so strong at the box office? Although many netizens may not have witnessed the "Bear Infested" series with their own eyes, they have a lot of treasures for these three protagonists. After all, Bald Qiang, Xiong Da and Xiong Er have become national-level symbols!
Even if you haven't personally experienced the various interesting episodes of "Bear Infested", or have only heard of it, or have seen related toys and merchandise around you, you can feel the huge impact of "Bear Infested". The popularity of this work is comparable to the classic IP "Joyful Yangyang" series of American comics, and the audience is wide, from children to the elderly, all of whom deeply love "Bear Infested".
So, why is "Bear Infested" so popular? This should be attributed to the reason why it quickly became popular as soon as it debuted. In 2012, a comedy with the theme of forest protection quietly appeared on CCTV Children's Channel. At that time, domestic internet entertainment was nowhere near as diverse as it is today. This environment has contributed to the success of Bear Infested to some extent.
Except for a very small number of comedy anime like "Joy and Yangyang" and the emergence of the work "Bear Infested", it can almost be said that it has carried out a complete subversion of the comedy anime genre. At the time, the anime was not only superbly produced, but also had a fascinating storyline and unique jokes. In just a few months of broadcasting, this high-quality work has begun to be warmly welcomed by the majority of children, and it can even be said that it has swept the country.
Despite the popularity of Bear Infested, the production team has not been complacent, on the contrary, they have maintained a humble attitude and constantly put on new works to take it to the next level.
From the 2013 movie "New Year", to 2014's "New Year's Goods", to 2024's "Reversal of Time and Space", ......The production team of Bear Infested has always been committed to bringing joy and emotion to the audience. Up to now, the reputation of the "Bear Infested" series is getting better and better, and the box office has continued to climb.
What's even more remarkable is that with the growing "Reversal of Time and Space", the box office of the "Bear Infested" series has exceeded the 7.4 billion mark. What's even more amazing is that although the annual production cost is only 10 million, its box office revenue is ten or even 100 times the cost. It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the Bear Infested series maintains this momentum, it promises to become one of the most influential IPs!
In addition to "Bear Infested", there is another equally eye-catching film "Reversing Time and Space", and "Article 20", which was released at the same time. When it was first released, the performance of "Article 20" was not satisfactory, and even ranked at the bottom of the films in the same schedule. This result is not difficult to understand. Although it is positioned as a comedy, it deals with heavy legal topics and is actually a film that blends comedy and law.
As the title of the film indicates, Article 20 is a direct reference to Article 20 of the Criminal Law, which involves important legal issues such as legitimate defense. For such a theme, the audience is not enthusiastic, especially during the Spring Festival, the audience is even more reluctant to spend time watching this kind of theme. Therefore, the initial performance is completely understandable.
However, the reason why "Article 20" finally counterattacked at the end of the Spring Festival is that the quality of this film is very outstanding. Directed by Zhang Yimou and starring high-profile actors such as Zhao Liying, Yu Hewei, and Zhang Yi, "Article 20" fundamentally has a fairly high quality guarantee, and it is quite difficult to shoot it badly.
Director Zhang Yimou's solid skills and the outstanding performances of actors such as Zhao Liying make this film even more striking and difficult to ignore. In addition, the audience's response after watching the movie was also quite positive.
The film presents multiple plot lines, including from the village bully's bullying of a family of three (played by Zhao Liying), to the subplot of prosecutor Han Ming's son to stop the school bullying, and then to the situation where the bus driver stands up to stop sexual harassment, throughout the film.
The core theme of the work revolves around the various encounters after the "justifiable defense", which arouses people's attention to social issues and provokes deep indignation. Although it is classified as a comedy movie, the black humor in the film gives the audience a deeper understanding of "legitimate defense" in real life.
What is difficult for the audience to accept is that under the premise of legitimate defense, there are still innocent people who are treated unfairly. This injustice caused a strong emotion of anger in the people and aroused the grief and indignation in the hearts of the audience. Perhaps it is precisely because the movie can resonate so strongly that its box office has risen against the trend.
From the box office of 29.2 million on March 1 to the box office of 50 million on March 2, the box office of "Article 20" has soared. Although it failed to surpass the Spring Festival stalls of "Hot and Hot" and "Flying Life 2", judging from the current performance, it is also eye-catching. Although the Spring Festival is coming to an end, excellent movies will never go out of style.
As of March 1, "Removing Three Evils Around the Week" directed by ** Fu and starring Ruan Jingtian is being screened, and is warmly sought after by audiences in Chinese mainland and Taiwan, China. What's even more surprising is that the film's word-of-mouth has been on the rise since its release. In just three days, the single-day box office has reached an astonishing two or three hundred million, showing a strong upward momentum.
The movie is so jaw-dropping, and even its rating on Douban has soared, eventually reaching an astonishing 82 points! The reason why "Eliminating the Three Evils Everywhere" is so good is mainly due to its gripping plot. At the beginning, we see the protagonist Chen Guilin (played by Nguyen Jingtian) realizing that his life is coming to an end, perhaps with a desire to become famous, or simply to leave a little trace at the end of his life.
This "wicked person", who has long been in the third most wanted list, decided to launch a comprehensive purge of the villains on the list, from the brutal ** to the gang leader who disrupted society, to the cult leader who uses religious belief as a cover and endangers society, he will not let go of any of them. Chen Guilin used "violence" to fight against **, and gradually used his own way to deter ** elements, making them frightened and frightened.
Although this technique is not worth advocating, the audience is satisfied to watch it in front of the screen, as if it is refreshing. Perhaps because of this, since the release of the movie, both the viewing rate and the word of mouth have been far ahead of the movies of the same period on the Internet, and the release time is less than four days.
If given a little more time, the film could far exceed expectations at the box office and word of mouth. Although the Spring Festival is coming to an end, excellent movies are emerging one after another. Perhaps in the near future, the audience will be able to enjoy more visual feasts as a result.
