February 13, the fourth day of the Lunar New year!
The Spring Festival in the mainland has also entered the fourth day of war. As we all know, the Spring Festival is a seven-day holiday, and many people are about to return on the sixth day of junior high school. The Spring Festival is almost at the end of the fifth year, and the ranking of the box office of this year's Spring Festival has become clear.
Jia Ling is certain to win the championship, and "Bear haunts" counterattacks Zhang Yimou is a dark horse.
As of 21:00 on February 13th, the top four box office receipts in the mainland were "Hot and Hot", "Flying Life 2", "Bear haunts" and "Article 20".
The box office of "Hot and Hot" exceeded 350 million in a single day, accounting for 31.4% of the total, and 36.6% of the box office. All box office data are ahead of the new films in the same period, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.539 billion after four days of release, and it is predicted that the final box office will be around 4 billion.
The success of "Hot and Hot" undoubtedly makes Jia Ling stand firmly in the position of a front-line director.
If you say "Hello" in 2021 "Li Huanying" is largely due to the collapse of word-of-mouth in "Chinatown investigation 3". The "hot and hot" Jia Ling's weight loss of 100 jin is definitely the most dedicated performance of an actress. Jia Ling now basically has no sense of humor, and there is a good chance that she will follow the route of a professional actress in the future.
He directed and acted in two films, one breaking 5.4 billion and the other about to break 4 billion. In the Chinese entertainment industry, only Wu Jing can fight.
"Flying Life 2" grossed $280 million a day. The proportion of film production remained stable at 28%, accounting for 29.3% of the box office.
In the face of the overwhelming announcement of "Hot and Hot", Shen Teng was the only one who could stabilize his heel and even did not lose ground. This time, "Flying Life 2" seemed to have no intention of competing with Jia Ling at all. There was almost no hot search during its release. But the film is of excellent quality, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.358 billion in its four days of release, not much behind Jia Ling.
It is estimated that the final box office will be around 3.6 billion.
For Shen Tenglai, it is not important to lose the Spring Festival championship. As long as "Flying Life 2" wins more than 3.3 billion at the box office, Shen Teng will surpass Wu Jing's 33.4 billion at the box office and become the champion of Chinese-language individual box office history.
"Bear haunts: reversing time and Space" grossed more than 170 million at the box office in a single day, accounting for 17.5% of the total.
After four days of release, the cumulative box office of the film is 806 million. I have to say that "Bear haunts" is indeed willing to invest money in recent years. The film scene is magnificent, and the special effects obviously cost a lot of money, not to mention plagiarizing "Fu Lian 4". There are only a few domestic films that are willing to pay homage in this way.
In my opinion, Bear is not only the only cartoon worth watching during the Spring Festival, but also the best special effects blockbuster.
This time I am optimistic that "Bear haunts" finally broke 2 billion at the box office!
"Article 20" grossed 140 million at the box office in a single day, and the proportion of films dropped to 15.7%.
After four days of release, the cumulative box office of the film exceeded 622 million, which is definitely not as good as expected. with 20 or 30 stars, directed by Zhang Yimou, it is a bit embarrassing that such a blockbuster was directly overtaken by "Bear haunted." it is predicted that the final box office of the film will be around 1.7 billion.
In fact, the film has a good reputation, but in order to cater to the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the comedy elements have destroyed the theme of the film.
The title was changed and the loss exceeded 230 million yuan. The biggest box office tragedy in the Spring Festival in 2024 was born!
The Spring Festival in 2024 may be included in film history because there are too many loss-making new films.
In recent years, the Spring Festival is recognized as a time to earn money, so every year the major film companies snatch the head, but this year's Spring Festival, except for the four new films mentioned above, the remaining four new films have lost money.
"Mr. Red carpet" is undoubtedly the biggest box office tragedy.
260 million of the cost of film production is officially announced, and the salary of the director plus the leading actor is nearly 130 million. Coupled with miscellaneous costs, the real cost for film production is estimated to be no more than 100 million, which shows how expensive domestic blockbusters are now. of course, you can also see how the stars in the entertainment industry make money.
But the film's box office results are really terrible.
As of 21:00 on Feb. 13, the box office of "Mr. Red carpet" had dropped to 4.48 million in a single day, accounting for only 2.8% of the film and 0.4% of the box office. The attendance rate was the lowest, and all the box office data could not even beat "Let's shake the Sun".
The film grossed only 67 million yuan in its four days of release.
At the current rate of decline of Mr. Red carpet, it is expected that the number of screenings of the film will be infinitely close to zero soon, which is tantamount to being abandoned by the cinema line.
In the end, it will be difficult to break 100 million at the box office. According to the film, the share of the film's share of the film is about 37%, meaning the film has lost more than 230 million, which will be the biggest box office tragedy in this year's Spring Festival or even in 2024.
I'm really sorry for Andy Lau's troubles.
The movie was originally scheduled for release on November 17, 2023, but now it looks like a good schedule. "Save the suspect" was in decline at that time. The prequel to the Hunger Games did not perform well. "Mr. Red carpet" is the most expensive and star-studded blockbuster in 2023, and there is hope to break the 1 billion mark.
However, the film had greater ambitions. The previous title was "National Star," because the box office considered changing it to "Mr. Red Carpet."
Coupled with the high production cost, the film can only be removed from the file and then fight for the Spring Festival.
For this first cooperation with Ning Hao, Andy Lau really worked hard to promote, live roadshows to find Internet celebrities and other ways, and even the topic of hidden marriage can be discussed in the interview, but the pace of "Mr. Red Carpet" is slow. the film whose jokes are not so popular is doomed to failure during the Spring Festival.
But the most worrying question is whether the older generation of Hong Kong superstars still have charisma.
"Mr. Red Carpet" is not a failure caused by word-of-mouth, and the film is far behind the Spring Festival blockbuster in terms of popularity and pre-sale at the beginning.
The film still accounts for 8.5% of the first day of the Lunar New year, which is not much different from the 11.2% of "Bear haunts". Moreover, the rehearsals of "Bear haunt" are not focused on the evening gold market, but the box office of "Bear haunt" has exceeded 230 million on the first day of the Lunar New year.
The box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" on the first day was only 41.84 million yuan, accounting for only 3.1% of the box office. The box office ratio of the film arrangement was upside down, and the cinema line directly cut the film arrangement.
At this time, the word-of-mouth of the film had not yet been released, and the audience bought the ticket based on the first feeling, while Mr. Red carpet lost at this time.
Coupled with the box office failures of Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat and other Hong Kong superstars in recent years, perhaps an era has really passed!
