Although December 30th is the first day of the New Year's Day holiday.
However, five new films have been released on December 29, preparing to seize the opportunity for the New Year's Day 2024. However, the box office performance of these five new films is not outstanding. It is obvious that the upcoming New Year's Eve is the box office climax.
Andy Lau defeated Dapeng to win the championship. Can "Stealth" help Hong Kong films compete?
As of 22:00 on December 29, the single-day box office champion and runner-up in the mainland are "Stealth" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" 》.
The box office of "Stealth" exceeded 46 million on the first day, accounting for 18.1% of the scheduled films and 33.4% of the box office.
's attendance rate is excellent among Hong Kong films this year, and it is also a rare Hong Kong film that can beat the big mainland productions released on the same day to win the championship. We all know that Hong Kong films will be really beaten badly in 2023. The annual box office champion of Hong Kong films " "Anti-Drug 3" only had 284 million, which was not even a fraction of that of "Man Jiang Hong".
Hong Kong film fans are counting on the New Year's Day releases of "Stealth" and "Goldfinger" to compete.
It is a pity that "Goldfinger" fell behind early in pre-sales. On the other hand, "Stealth", which was not expected to star as Andy Lau, did well at the box office. However, it is worth noting that Andy Lau plays the villain in the film, and the real male protagonist is Lin Jiadong.
According to the current trend, the final box office of "Stealth" is expected to hit 500 million!
Unless "Goldfinger" counterattacks, the 2023 Hong Kong film annual championship will probably go to Andy Lau.
However, the reputation of "Stealth" is a big problem.
"Stealth" is a typical flow-style Hong Kong film, and it is also a Hong Kong film about undercover drug traffickers and gangsters. However, this film is relatively well-made, with grand action scenes, including sea, land and air, Andy Lau, Lam Jiadong, and Suet Lam. , Liu Yase, and Simon Yam are all actor-level actors. Even if their performance is average, their foundation is still there.
Unfortunately, the plot of the movie is too cliche.
Including "Anti-Drug 3" and "Breaking Point", this year's major Hong Kong film productions alone have three films about undercovers. The audience is really tired of watching them. The villain played by Andy Lau is elegant in appearance but cruel and bloodthirsty in his bones. It is a highlight, but there are also Drowned in overall mediocrity.
It’s time for a breakthrough in Hong Kong films.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "The box office on the first day was 35.78 million. Theaters are definitely optimistic about Dapeng's new comedy film.
gave "The annual meeting cannot be stopped!" 》 accounted for 21.3% of the film schedule. It is really surprising that it cannot beat "Stealth". The main reason is that "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" "" conducted a large-scale advance screening for about a week, which indeed reduced the box office explosive power of the first day of release. On the first day of release, plus the previous screenings, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 81.6 million. It shouldn't be a big problem for
to finally exceed 500 million at the box office. This is also Dapeng's fifth box office hit this year.
laughed, there were 82 viewers on the premiere day, and the box office was only 2,448 yuan. The worst new film on New Year's Day was born!
"Stealth" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" "Basically stole all the attention from the market, which naturally led to the three new films released on the same day being badly beaten!
As of 22:00 on December 29, the first-day box office of the fantasy adventure film "The Golden Mask Hero" was only 398,000. This film is billed as the Chinese animated version of The Avengers. It tells the story of Sanxingdui in China, which is actually guarded by five masked heroes. They all have their own superpowers. Unfortunately, the picture is rough, the special effects are awkward, and the box office is not good.
and the horror film "The Hunt" only had a box office of 4,038 yuan on the first day, and their performance was also extremely dismal.
Of course the worst one is "Love at 3:30".
We all know that romance and comedy are definitely the most advantageous types of films released on New Year's Day. As a result, the box office of "Love at 3:30" on the first day was only 2,448 yuan, and the number of moviegoers on the premiere day was only 82. According to the current trend, the film will eventually The probability of it breaking over 10,000 yuan at the box office is extremely low, making it the worst new film on New Year's Day.
"Love at 3:30" can be called a collection of domestic bloody dramas. The male protagonist of
has a so-called artistic talent, and he turned into a melancholy and handsome boy because of his family relationship. The heroine is a music student.
The male protagonist was attracted by the so-called temperament of the female protagonist. Even his depression was cured and he was full of hope for the future. At this time, the heroine’s fiancé appeared, so the plot staged a love triangle. After that, the heroine’s fiancé The family arranged another business marriage.
The whole story turned into a love triangle, which was really a mess and a headache.
Almost all the directors and actors of "Love at 3:30" are making movies for the first time, and their acting skills are basically non-existent. Everyone is paralyzed, or their expressions are out of control, and the rhythm of the story and scenes are chaotic. I don't want such a bad movie to be released on New Year's Day. Fishing in troubled waters to make money is really underestimating the current audience's viewing level.
