With the end of the National Day holiday, the domestic cinema chain has returned to its former quietness. This year's National Day file, the domestic theater chain is still quite powerful, a total of 8 new films were released, at least in terms of the number of new films, it can be said to be full of sincerity.
However, from the perspective of the content of the film, in fact, there are not many options for the audience to choose from. 4 of the 8 new films are cartoons made entirely for children in the younger age group. 4, in addition to the withdrawal of "King of the Sky", which was a hit at the pre-sale box office, and "Search and Rescue", which was temporarily released on October 3.
Therefore, although the number of videos in this National Day file is full of sincerity, the quality is not satisfactory.
Of course, there is a film in the National Day file that achieved a double harvest at the box office. This film is "Homecoming". The film has won a box office of 1.1 billion in 10 days of release, which can be called a National Day box office harvester. It is also the only film in the National Day file with a box office of over 1 billion.
"Homecoming" is starring Zhang Yi, Wang Junkai , Yin Tao and others. The movie is adapted from the real events of assisting the evacuation of overseas Chinese. It is a plot and war-themed movie. The plot is compact and the war scenes are immersive. Although everyone knows that the final evacuation of must be successful, but because of the strong sense of substitution of the plot, people are watching the whole process, and the backlog of emotions is at the end. Get free the moment you step out of the desert.
"Homecoming" scored a high score of 7.4 points on Douban, plus a box office score of over 1 billion, which is indeed a double harvest of box office and word of mouth.
"Homecoming", as a war-themed film, can achieve such excellent box office results, one can't help but think of another war film that was also released on National Day - " Changjin Lake ".
"Changjin Lake" will be released on September 30, 2021. It is also a war theme, and it also has a good reputation at the box office. One can't help but wonder if "Homecoming" can be compared with "Changjin Lake" in box office results Compete.
At present, the final predicted box office of "Returning Thousands of Miles" is 1.8 billion, while the final box office of "Changjin Lake" is 5.77 billion, firmly occupying the box office champion in Chinese film history. It can be seen that even if "The Journey Home" got the predicted 1.8 billion box office, there is still a gap to surpass "Changjin Lake", and the gap is quite large. It seems that only Wu Jing himself can beat Changjin Lake.
In 2023, Wu Jing also released two new films "Dragon Horse Spirit" and " Wandering Earth 2" on New Year's Day and Spring Festival respectively. These two new films are very much anticipated films, and perhaps a new box office record may be born. Let's wait and see.
