Preface: July 26, 2019, is another Friday, and a lot of new movies are released. The box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has exceeded 150 million, and it may win more than 200 million box office. It is indeed the biggest dark horse this summer.
But the prospects of the other three new films are not so good: the comedy film "Dance!" starring Allen. "Elephant" occupies 25.2% of the filming rate, but only 4.2% of the attendance rate; if the attendance rate after get off work has not increased, Saturday's filming rate will drop.
Although Alan is an entertainer of Happy Twist, this movie has nothing to do with Happy Twist, so this movie is not as funny as the previous "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "The Shameful Iron Fist" and "Charlotte Annoyance". It's not so good either, and it is understandable that the box office is not high.
starring Hou Minghao, Peng Yuchang, and Ge Yuexi, the youth fantasy movie "Back to the Past and Embrace You", occupies 14.1% of the lineup, but only 4.1% of attendance. Last year, the movie "Take My Brother Away" starring Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng, the final box office reached 375 million, Peng Yuchang was blown to the sky.
"Back to the Past and Embrace You" will "pull Peng Yuchang off the altar", he is not a "box office panacea". "Back to the Past and Hug You" was first set on June 28, then on August 16, and finally released on July 26. The marketing plan was disrupted, which is one of the reasons why the box office of this movie is not high.
The biographical crime movie "Papillon" is even worse, with only 2.0% of the films. It seems that "foreign monks" are not necessarily "good chanting"! The domestically produced movie "Sweeping Drugs 2", which has been in theaters for 12 days, has a 5.9% attendance rate despite its grading rate of only 3.3. Andy Lau and Louis Koo have great personal charms.
"Sweeping Drugs 2" is also the dark horse of this summer. Experts previously predicted that the box office would be up to 600 million, but now it exceeds 1.2 billion. Wu Qinggong, a non-famous entertainment critic, pointed out: However, "Sweeping Drugs 2" is not satisfied with this, but wants to break through the "Wu Shuang" starring Aaron Kwok and Chow Yun-fat with a box office of 1.273 billion.
"Wushuang" is the highest-grossing Hong Kong movie in the Mainland (Xing Chi's "Mermaid" and Jackie Chan's "Kung Fu Yoga" are all co-productions, not pure Hong Kong movies). Andy Lau does not want to surpass Chow Yun-fat, after all, Chow Yun-fat is a predecessor, Andy Lau has run the trick for Chow Yun-fat, and what Andy Lau wants to surpass is Aaron Kwok.
Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau are the four kings. For a long time, Aaron Kwok is the weakest of the four kings, and Andy Lau is the strongest. But Aaron Kwok's film career has developed very well in recent years. Therefore, if the box office of "Sweeping Drugs 2" eventually surpasses "Wushuang", it means that Andy Lau has surpassed Aaron Kwok.
On July 25, the attendance rate of "Sweeping Drugs 2" surpassed that of "The Lion King"; but on July 26, "Sweeping Drugs 2" had fewer films than "The Lion King". It seems that the probability of Andy Lau surpassing Aaron Kwok is very small, but Andy Lau fans will not give up and will continue to promote "Anti-Drug 2"!
Discussion: Do you think "Sweeping Drugs 2" will eventually surpass "Wushuang" at the box office?
