's mediocre "X-Men: Black Phoenix" has won the box office championship in the Chinese film market for three consecutive days with the advantages of the new release, the feelings brought by the endgame and the Chinese audience's love for special effects blockbusters.
As of the time of publication, the box office of "X-Men: Black Phoenix" has exceeded 250 million, and today's share of the lineup fell to 27.8%, and the box office share fell to 26.4%. It seems that the lack of a strong reputation still has a huge impact on the box office of "X-Men: Black Phoenix". In contrast, "Godzilla 2: King of Monsters", which also won with special effects, seems to make a comeback and regain the trend.
At the same point in time, although "Godzilla 2: King of Monsters" accounted for only 16.8% of the total number of movies, it accounted for 22.2% of the box office, which did not lag behind "Black Phoenix" too much, and has now established itself in the box office today. The second place on the list. Compared with the data on the 6th and 7th, "Godzilla 2" can be said to have been growing all the way, while "Black Phoenix" has fallen sharply. Under the circumstances, "Godzilla 2" may not have counterattack. may.
"Godzilla 2" rises strongly, in fact, the most injured is "Chasing the Dragon 2" directed by Wang Jing.
In 2017, "Chasing the Dragon" directed by Wang Jing received a double harvest of word-of-mouth at the box office. In the fierce National Day competition, it won 577 million box office. More importantly, the film has a very good reputation, with a Douban score of 7.2. You should know that before "Chasing the Dragon", Wang Jing directed "Ace of Ace", "Macao Wind and Cloud Series" and many other movies, which had very poor reputation. Therefore, Wang Jing, a Hong Kong tycoon director who has directed many classic films, was crowned by fans as the "King of Bad Films", and the appearance of "Chasing the Dragon" greatly changed the audience's impression, and they expressed their seriousness. Wang Jing is still very powerful.
is also because of this, the release of "Chasing the Dragon 2" has attracted the attention of many fans, and the theaters are also very optimistic. The premiere of the film is second only to "Black Phoenix", which is as high as 25.1%. Under the strong pressure of the heavyweight blockbuster "Black Phoenix", "Chasing the Dragon 2" still won the box office of 54.53 million on the day, and also successfully won the second-place box office of the day.
was only released on the 2nd, the competitiveness of "Chasing the Dragon 2" began to decline significantly. Today, "Godzilla 2" has risen strongly and easily surpassed "Chasing the Dragon 2". What is surprising is that the domestic youth love movie "The Best of Us" has also successfully counterattacked "Chasing the Dragon 2" and let " "Chasing the Dragon 2" why the love.
"Godzilla 2" and "Black Phoenix" are super huge blockbusters after all. "Chasing the Dragon 2" can't be beaten normally, but it is really surprising to lose to "The Best of Us". For a long time, domestic youth romance films have not been very competitive in mainland theaters.
We in "The Best of Us" do not have much advantage besides having more fans of the original book. Movies and movies have a moderate reputation, with a Douban score of 6.0. The director Zhang Disa is the first time he has directed a theater movie. The male lead Chen Feiyu is also a newcomer. The most famous work before this is the web drama "Jiang Ye". The heroine He Landou also doesn't have any special masterpieces. Although the film has old drama bones like Hui Yinghong to help escort, but in terms of box office appeal and "Chasing the Dragon 2" is really not at the same level.
"Chasing the Dragon 2" does not have the two superstars Donnie Yen and Andy Lau in the first part, but Wang Jing has invited Louis Koo, Leung Ka Fai, Lin Jiadong, and Ren Dahua to star together and starring in the lineup. Compared with the first one, his strength is even better. Louis Koo’s box office appeal has been proven enough in "Anti-Corruption Storm 4" released this year, not to mention the box office appeal brought by the cooperation of the four major movie stars.
However, despite having such a strong lineup, the box office of this movie is still hitting the street, and it hits badly. As of today, "Chasing the Dragon 2" has only got 32.89 million box office, which accounts for 14.4% of the box office. Directly overtaken by "Godzilla 2" and "Best of Us", and pulled a lot of distance, "Chasing the Dragon 2" also fell from the runner-up at the box office yesterday to the fourth place today. It is foreseeable that after the weekend, it will be more difficult for "Chasing the Dragon 2" to have a good box office performance. The final box office is estimated to be too far behind the first "Chasing the Dragon".
word-of-mouth is probably the main reason for the sharp drop in the box office of "Chasing the Dragon 2". Compared with "Chasing the Dragon" Douban with a score of 7.2, the film’s reputation should be considered miserable. The Douban score of the film has dropped from 6.2 to 5.8. With more fans participating in the score, I am afraid that there will be more in the future.The downward trend.
In fact, "Chasing the Dragon 2" is not too "bad", but there are no highlights. In addition to Liang Jiahui's constant acting skills, the undercover played by Koo Tianle was exposed early. The plot of the whole movie, as well as the most exciting scenes such as gun battles, drag racing, blasting, money, and beauties, are no different from previous Hong Kong police movies. In recent years, mediocre Hong Kong movies have become the norm in the mainland market.
"Chasing the Dragon 2" didn't bring too many surprises to the audience this time, but it made fans feel that Wang Jing was "fried cold rice" again. In the film, the "girl in red" Qiu Yinong looks like Qiu Shuzhen.
And, this time "Chasing the Dragon 2" also selected the wrong schedule. Although the Dragon Boat Festival did set off a wave of movie watching climaxes, it was in both "X-Men: Black Phoenix" and "Godzilla 2: King of Monsters". Under the combined crush of blockbusters, "Chasing the Dragon 2" does not have much room for box office competition. But now that the competitiveness is not as good as a domestic youth romance film with mediocre reputation, one can imagine how embarrassing the final box office is.
