's theaters throughout September can't be described as bleak. It would be even worse if it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As of the 28th, the box office for the entire month was less than 2.5 billion, less than 1/3 of the 7.79 billion in August. As for the single-month box office champion, it turned out to be "Zhu Xian I" (a total of 394 million in 16 days of release), which can also reflect how weak the weight of the film released in September.
Not surprisingly, in September, "Fast and Furious: Special Operations" and "Nezha's Devil Child" (second extension of the key) continued to occupy the top two in the box office until another high-profile national comic work. "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji" (key postponed to November 6th) was only broken when it was released, but the latter did not resemble "Ne Zha". Under the weak successor, it was released with a total of 300 million in 22 days. As for the "Little Wish" after the rename and schedule change, it was a loss of word of mouth and box office.
Looking forward to October, the "National Day file" for the last long holiday of this year will become a three-part world for "My Motherland and Me", "The Climber" and "Captain of China". The three domestic blockbusters basically occupy the entire long holiday. It’s about 95% of the movies, so that you can choose which movie you want to watch during the holidays.

and the more commercialized "Climber" and "Chinese Captain" in the production of the contest, it depends on who has a strong reputation.
After the National Day file, two blockbuster Hollywood blockbusters, Ang Lee’s "Gemini Killer" and Quentin’s "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will also be released one after another, not only the long-awaited, but also many must-see movies this year. .

box office for the entire October, and now I am looking forward to these 5 films. As for the two "model workers" Zhang Jiahui and Louis Koo, their new films can only survive this month. Asking for a blessing.
Due to the very bleak box office in September, this year’s annual performance (accumulated over 44 billion in the first 8 months) suddenly became severe. Therefore, once the sales of the above five films are not as expected, there is likely to be more in that month. Imported films will be fixed, such as "Interstellar Exploration", "Maleficent 2", "Terminator: Dark Fate" (before North America).

Crime Scene (2019)
Director: Feng Zhiqiang
Starring: Louis Koo/ Xuan Xuan/ Zhang Jicong/ Tan Yaowen/ Jiang Haowen/ Li Cansen/ An Zhijie/ Liu Xinyou/ Xue Kaiqi/ Yan Zhuoling/ Cai Jie 10-12 (Mainland China)
expectation value: ★★★
"Model Worker" Gu Principal starred in the sixth work this year and released, and it is also the second collaboration between him and Xuan Xuan following the "Quest for the Qin" after 18 years. The
movie tells the story of a robbery whose truth is not simple as the "person" who witnessed the murder was only a parrot in the corpse house of the wanted criminal Xu Zhan. The
visual film should still be a typical crime-type Hong Kong film, produced by Er Dongsheng, and director Feng Zhiqiang can be regarded as one of Zhou Xingchi’s queen screenwriters, such as "Shaolin Football", "Journey to the West", "Mermaid", "Yangtze No. 7" "Wait, self-editing and directing will have more freedom this time.
However, in view of the increasingly serious trend of homogenization of Hong Kong movies in recent years, don't have too much expectations for this movie.
Gemini Man (2019)
Director: Ang Lee
Starring: Will Smith/ Mary Elizabeth Winstead/ Cliff Owen/ Benedict Wang
Genre: Drama/ Action/ Science Fiction / Thriller
Release date: 2019-10-18 (Mainland China) / 2019-10-11 (United States)
Expected value: ★★★★
is definitely the most anticipated movie of the month, directed by Ang Lee, "The Emperor" A new science fiction action film starring Will Smith. The story of the
film is very concise and concise. It tells that when Henry, an agent of the National Defense Intelligence Agency, was retired, he was chased by himself, who was more than 20 years younger. The truth behind it also gradually surfaced in the self-confidence...
Ang Lee’s last work "Billy Lynn’s Midfield Battle" technically tried the ultra-high specification production of 4k+3D+120 frames. Those who can see the highest version in the theater can feel that Unprecedented, immersive, and unique look and feel. It is said that this time "Gemini Killer" not only incorporates VR technology, but the mainland will also release a large-scale version of 120 frames (supported by most Dolby Cinema).
However, it is estimated that the theater will be able to use this point to make a big fuss, and the price will be increased sharply like "Reunion 4". After all, this is the last opportunity for "income-generating" this year. In the story of
, the film is very similar to the 12-year-old "Loop Messenger", but unlike the latter, which used two actors to play, the young version of Will Smith was created entirely with special effects. This new technology is right For Ang Lee and the special effects team, it is another risky challenge. A lifelike special effects "real person" will definitely be amazing.
So, those who want to see real 3D and experience more image details, don't miss it.
Five Feet Apart (2019)
Director: Justin Berdoni
Starring: Hayley Lou Richardson/ Cole Sprouse/ Claire Franny/ Moises Arias
Genre: Drama/Love
Release date: 2019-10-18 (Mainland China)
Expected value: ★★★
is a romance film released in North America half a year ago. The public evaluation is not bad. Douban scores 7.4 and IMDb also scores 7.2. The theme of
movie terminal illness + love is very reminiscent of the same theme "Fault in the Stars". It tells how Stella, a 17-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis, and Will, a boy, met and fell in love in the hospital s story.
Most people may not know anything about "Cystic Fibrosis", which is about every 2500 newborn babies (mostly Caucasians), There is a genetic disease that can suffer from. There is still no cure, and patients with CF are very easy to infect each other, so they must keep a distance of at least 6 feet. The hero and the hero in the film "stole" for love 1 feet, this is also the origin of the film's title. Although
is a fictional story, the heroine Stella is based on Claire Wineland, a well-known American blogger who suffers from CF in reality. She is also the production consultant of the film and provided a lot of material about the disease. Unfortunately, it still Before the movie was released, Claire died of cerebrovascular disease caused by a lung transplant.
This film with high-value cast, light comedy style, and moving story is also an option worth watching this month.

Quentin, the highly anticipated new film, is finally set, and it is also one of the must-sees this month.
is Quentin’s 9th director work. This is also his first film with real events as the background. Borrowing the story of an outdated TV star and his stand-in partner in Hollywood in the late 1960s, it brought out a great director. Roman Polanski’s wife, Sharon Tate, was brutally murdered in the mansion in Beverly Hills in 1969 when she was 8 months pregnant by the Manson family, the most famous murder family in the United States. Real events. The
movie is known as Quentin’s most personal work. The two male protagonists have his shadow more or less, and there are all familiar elements in the film (violence, cold humor, bad taste, fandom Geng, etc.), even this time he brought us unprecedented emotional power, which is why many people burst into tears after reading it. Of course, the premise is that you have not been spoiled.
In addition to the story, another attraction of the movie must come from the ultra-luxury cast. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt played the star and stand-in partner, Margot Robbie. Acting as Sharon Tate, there are also "Godfather" Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, etc., and this is also the first collaboration between the two male gods, Xiao Li and Pete. The two have a very good relationship in the film. The chemistry, fans must be eager to see the two in the same frame.
is the same as "The Rescued Jiang Ge" which was interrupted because of a screen on the first day of the show, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is also R-rated, so it is inevitable to be "scissor hands", plus the "ugly" Bruce Lee in the film For one paragraph, whether the mainland version will be revised is currently unknown.
But even so, it certainly can't stop the fans who love Quentin from buying tickets.
