The movie "The Climber" starring Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Hu Ge, Jing Boran and others has been webcast on all major video platforms across the Internet, which means that everyone can watch this blockbuster online. It is understood that the "Climber" previously announced that the key was extended to November 30, but the audience can watch the movie in advance on the online video platform before the key expires.
"The Climber" has performed well after starting the webcast, and currently the entire network has more than 100 million broadcast data. Of course, it is incomparable with the previous blockbuster "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes Down", which quickly broke 100 million within 2 hours of its launch, but the results are still remarkable.
Previously, many viewers said that "The Climber" had too few films to watch in the cinema. Therefore, after "Climber" was launched on the video platform, a lot of audiences who hadn't watched it in the cinema before were flooded in a short period of time. Everyone wanted to see how this blockbuster film was made.
According to Douban score data, the current score of "The Climber" is 6.3 points, which is slightly lower than the previous 6.7 points. Online audiences’ evaluations of this movie are polarized. Some netizens feel it’s a pity that they didn’t go to the cinema. They owe Li Rengang and Wu Jing a movie ticket, and some netizens say that "The Climber" could have become a great work, but they are helpless. There are too many love elements, it's a pity. However, many viewers gave unanimous praise for the thrilling and realistic scenes of climbing Mount Everest in the movie.
Although "The Climber" has not been completely released from the theater yet, due to the start of the webcast in advance, the theater has almost no schedule. The box office of a single day can be ignored and the final box office data has been locked. According to professional box office statistics, the total box office of "The Climber", which was released for 58 days, is 1.08 billion, which is the same as the estimated total box office.
In the category of domestically produced movies on the theme of drama and adventure, "The Climber" has a box office score of 1.08 billion. Of course, there is still a big gap between this and other blockbusters of the same period, and there is also a strong contrast with Wu Jing's first two works. But in this year's top 10 domestic movies in 2019, "Climber" can still occupy a place (as of now, it just ranks 10th).
It is worth mentioning that the final box office data of the movie "The Climber" also set a new box office record for director Li Rengang's personal work. Prior to this, Li Rengang directed commercial films for nearly 20 years, and the highest-grossing work was 2016's "Tomb Notes", which was 1.003 billion. In addition, only 738 million in 2015 "Tian Jiang Xiong Shi", 2014 "Old Boy Raptor Crossing the River" 209 million, 2011 "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" 140 million and 2010 "Jinyiwei" 141 million.
"The Climber" scored 1.08 billion in one fell swoop, surpassing 2016's "Tomb Notes" by 1.003 billion, becoming director Li Rengang's highest-grossing solo directed work. It can be seen that this film is of great significance to Li Rengang's directorial career.
In addition, "The Climber" also helped the cumulative box office data of personal works starring Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Jing Boran, Hu Ge to reach a new peak. The box office of the starring Jing Boran has reached 9.869 billion and is expected to become the next "Mr. Ten Billion". Hu Ge has accumulated 1.08 billion box office data for the leading roles with just one starring work in "The Climber", which can be described as a fruitful harvest.
