's " Tomorrow's War ", which began to be released in mainland China theaters on August 5 this year, is a film work by famous Hong Kong actor Gu Tianle who has sharpened his sword in ten years.
"Tomorrow's War" is the first mecha sci-fi film in Chinese film history. Its total investment is as high as 450 million Hong Kong dollars (408 million yuan), and the whole film has 1,700 special effects shots, and all of them are completed by the Chinese special effects team. Actor Gu Tianle wants to use this film to prove that China's special effects production has reached the international level.
As the first domestically produced mecha sci-fi blockbuster with huge investment, "Tomorrow's War" should have created a very impressive box office result after its release in mainland China, but I never thought that its box office performance was completely unsatisfactory. During the release of
, when the single-day box office of "Tomorrow's War" was the highest, it was only more than 50 million yuan. Now the film has been released in the mainland for more than two months, but its total mainland box office is only 674 million yuan. The reason why
"War of Tomorrow" failed to explode at the mainland box office is mainly because its plot is not good enough, and it is indeed top-notch in terms of special effects.
is also very popular in Hong Kong, China because the special effects are top-notch.
On August 25th this year, "Tomorrow's War" began to be released in Hong Kong, China, and it earned more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars in one month, ranking as the runner-up in the box office of Chinese films in Hong Kong, China. At that time, it was only a few million Hong Kong dollars away from the champion " Chills 2".
wants to catch up with the gap of several million Hong Kong dollars. It is difficult and simple. As long as the popularity of the film does not diminish and word of mouth does not decline significantly, then this is an easy task.
And this first mecha sci-fi blockbuster "Tomorrow's War" in Chinese film history achieved this goal on October 8 this year.
According to statistics, as of October 8, the total Hong Kong box office of "Tomorrow's War" has reached 67 million Hong Kong dollars. This achievement made it successfully surpass "Cold War 2" (a total of 66.82 million Hong Kong dollars at the Hong Kong box office), and the film has also been promoted to the box office champion of Chinese films in the Hong Kong film market, China.
"Tomorrow's War" has been promoted to the box office champion of Chinese films in the Hong Kong film market, which is indeed gratifying, but the film is still at a loss.
Including Hong Kong's box office, "Tomorrow's War" currently has a cumulative total box office of 734 million yuan. However, according to the high investment of 450 million Hong Kong dollars for this film, as well as some publicity costs, the box office must exceed 1 billion yuan to ensure that it does not lose money. So it is still at a loss, and the loss is as high as more than 200 million yuan.
