The film "temporary robbery", starring Aaron Kwok, has enjoyed a good reputation since it was released in Hong Kong, attracting many people to go to the cinema during the Spring Festival. However, it is a pity that the film has encountered obvious disadvantages in terms of production, and its resources are dwarfed by the Moon Raiders, which was released at the same time.
"Moon Raiders" starred Lu Hanting and Lu Jian, members of the Hong Kong first day troupe MIRROR, and member Jiang Tao made a guest starring. In the past two weeks, even though Hong Kong media and film critics have been constantly promoting and touting it, word of mouth has always been very mediocre. However, its screenings can compete with the most popular "dinner show 2", which is several times higher than "temporary robbery".
Take the second day of the New Year (11th) as an example,"Moon Thief" on that day about 600+,"Temporary Robbery" only 203, and the former occupies a large number of prime time, arranged densely, the latter mostly in cold hours, arranged sparsely, want to watch the public is difficult to accommodate. This unfair treatment caused the difference in the box office of the previous few days.
However, since the fourth day of the Lunar New year, the box office situation of the two films has undergone new changes.
On the 13th, "temporary robbery" earned about HK $1.3 million after losing several times the film, while "Moon Raider" only got about HK $1.2 million.
As of 08:30 on the 14th, the "temporary robbery" continued to earn about HK $1.174 million under adverse circumstances, while the "moon robber" received only about HK $1.039 million.
In addition, on the list of "most popular movies today" compiled by the Hong Kong film website, the attendance of "temporary robberies" is 14152, while that of "moon robbers" is only 11920. There is a wide gap between the two. The following is a screenshot of the relevant data:
From this point of view, even if "Moon Raiders" has massive support from cinemas and media, and several top fans scour repeatedly, the market performance is also very mediocre, while "temporary robbery" has fought a beautiful battle under various adverse circumstances. it's a movie that really wins market recognition.
In short, Guo Tianwang beat the top of Hong Kong.
The editor believes that the performance of the "temporary robbery" is a positive phenomenon for the Hong Kong film industry, because it means that the routine of relying on MIRROR traffic and its fans has become more and more impracticable, and the market is bound to return to the rational way of speaking in terms of the quality of the work.
As a matter of fact, no film market in the world is supported by top-notch and idol, and even for the much-criticized internal entertainment, the main players who carry votes are still powerful actors such as Wu Jing, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, while the Hong Kong film industry has taken too many detours in the past few years, and some tycoons' predecessors intend to rely on the super popularity of MIRROR and the setting of unattractive people to realize the revival of Hong Kong films at home and even overseas. As the saying goes, it is not too late to mend. I sincerely hope that they can seize the opportunity.
