The first week of 2024 has passed, and it can be said to be a good start for the film market!
has a box office of 980 million, setting a new high in the first week of the past five years. Of course, the most important thing is that the New Year's Day film set a new box office record in film history. Coupled with the rapid development of high-quality films, it finally achieved good box office results in the first week of the new year.
Although we are happy to have a good start, some are happy and some are sad.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! 》Counterattack reached the top and became the biggest dark horse. With a weekly box office of 310 million, it is far ahead and stands out. Its reputation continues to rise. The box office has reversed a sharp decline and achieved another box office success. "Goldfinger" received a box office of 170 million, helping the total box office to exceed the 300 million mark, ranking second, and also gained some face for Hong Kong films. "Stealth" and "Twinkle Twinkle Star" each received 100 million box office during the cycle, followed closely behind. The old films "The Third" and "Aquaman 2" also performed well and were ranked behind, while "If You Are the One 3" lacked stamina and struggled to move forward.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "How did it achieve a counterattack at the box office?
Just look at the word of mouth and you will know.
Douban opened with a score of 8.0, and now it has risen to 8.2. Although it has only increased by 0.2 points, every small step is a big step for domestic comedy.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "" is not only the dark horse comedy of the year, but also the domestic comedy with the highest reputation in the past five years. For domestic comedies, there is finally another high-scoring film.
Of course, word-of-mouth alone is not enough. What is more important is that this comedy really touched the audience and aroused resonance.
Domestic comedy has moved from fiction to reality, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" "Relying on the workplace, it uses standard and neat comedy techniques and structures to conduct a comprehensive deconstruction of the real workplace, bringing a hearty criticism and satire to the audience, and has become the mouthpiece of countless workers. It brings not only laughter and laughter, but also realistic humanistic care, giving people warmth, inspiration and healing.
finally gained the support of the group and achieved a counterattack at the box office!
has started with 30 million, reached the highest of 100 million, and now has a total box office of more than 500 million. It has moved towards the 1 billion mark. It will become the first film with a box office of more than 1 billion in the beginning of 2024, opening up another chapter for comedy. An ascending channel provides a new creative direction.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "Once again proved that good movies can always rely on word-of-mouth to win over audiences, and once again taught everyone a good lesson that quality is king and word-of-mouth can create miracles.
"Golden Finger" also achieved a counterattack, although not as much as "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" ", but as a genre film, the entire creative team is quite strong. The two best actors Tony Leung and Andy Lau once again collaborated. The "refreshing film" attribute and the best actor's performance made it capture the hearts of some viewers, and it also performed poorly at the box office in the future. vulgar.
The New Year's Day box office champion "Twinkle Twinkle Shining Star" is still weak after all. From the super pre-sales to the hot start, although it only lasted for two days, it had already recovered its money and was secretly having fun behind the scenes. However, for such a bonus film, it is more speculation and it is difficult to go further. Although the market needs it, it is consuming word of mouth, which is not a good thing.
Although such films are released in every schedule every year, not every one of them can enjoy dividends and achieve profitability. Most of them became cannon fodder and lost beyond recognition. But in the face of high profits and high returns, with a gambling and speculative mentality, there will still be a steady stream of such films in the short term.
Feng Xiaogang once again suffered a box office failure after "Only Yun Knows".
From literary films to comedies, although he returned to the genre films he was good at, the audience no longer paid for it. Consumption sentiment, resting on one's laurels, the talent is exhausted, the audience becomes older, and his era has passed.
is also a comedy, and Feng Xiaogang should undoubtedly pay tribute to "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" 》Study hard. Of course, in the past, these were all leftovers from Feng Xiaogang's play, but he has become gentler and no longer sharp, so it is naturally difficult to create comedies like before.
Although Feng Xiaogang once mentioned learning from Happy Twist, Happy Twist has fallen behind and its reputation is being exhausted by itself. Is it still necessary to learn from Happy Twist?
Compared with Feng Xiaogang, Happy Twist has been even more miserable in recent years. "Super Family", which was created with a huge amount of money in 2023, suffered a huge loss. Happy Twist has already gone bad, and is no longer at its peak. It is just a piece of cake.
For Feng Xiaogang, although it has not yet reached the point of deterioration, it cannot keep up with the pace of the times. It is either abandoned by the times or quietly left behind.
2024 is the beginning of the new year. Although the film market has had a good start, it is undoubtedly a world of ice and fire.
Some people are overjoyed, some are crying, and some are still laughing. But if you want to laugh to the end and stop crying, you can only be in awe, respect the audience, shoot works with sincerity and craftsmanship, and win reputation in exchange for box office. You can laugh to the end!
