The Spring Festival, the most anticipated first big release of the year, is coming. This year, eight new movies from domestic theaters have been confirmed to be released in this Spring Festival. Among these eight new domestic films, although there are no big-budget blockbusters like "The Wandering Earth", "Operation Red Sea" and "Changjin Lake Suimen Bridge", there are still several films that have the ability to create high box office.
In recent years, the Spring Festival in mainland China is not necessarily the "world" of big-budget movies. Sometimes a low-cost super spectacle movie that is not very eye-catching can also win the championship. Just like "Hello, Li Huanying" directed and starred by Jia Ling in 2021, and "Man Jiang Hong" directed by Zhang Yimou in 2023, they are not blockbusters, but in the end they both successfully won the schedule championship.
Movies scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival this year also include works by Zhang Yimou and Jia Ling. In addition, comedian Shen Teng, the most popular comedian in the domestic market, is also not absent. There is also the "Nail House" in the Spring Festival, the tenth film in the "Bear Bears" series of movies is also included.
Zhang Yimou, Jia Ling, Shen Teng and the "Bear Bears" series. These four movies are "Article 20", " Hot and Spicy ", " Speeding Life 2" and "Bear Bears Reversal of Time and Space".
Among these four movies, "Flying Life 2", "Hot and Furious" and "Article 20" all have the ability to create a box office of over 3 billion yuan. If the reputation is good, among them, there may be more than 40 box office hits. billion movie.
As for the "nail households" in the Spring Festival, the final total box office of "Bear Bears: Reversal of Time" is likely to exceed 1.5 billion yuan. If its reputation is also very good, then it is not impossible for the box office to exceed 2 billion yuan.
If these four movies can eventually create ideal box office results, then after this year’s Spring Festival, the domestic film market will undergo many changes.
The first is Zhang Yimou, who will lock in his status as China's number one director through "Article 20". Now he is only the number one box-office director away from becoming the real number one director. At present, the cumulative box office of movies directed by Zhang Yimou is close to 12 billion yuan, while the cumulative box office of movies directed by Tsui Hark, the number one domestic box office director, is less than 14.7 billion yuan.
Then there is Jia Ling, who will become the number one female director at the global box office through "Hot and Spicy". Jia Ling had already successfully become the world's top female director of a single film with "Hello, Li Huanying", but she was later surpassed by the director of "Barbie".
As long as the reputation of "Hot and Spicy" is good, the final box office will definitely not be less than 3 billion yuan, and may even exceed 4 billion yuan. In this way, it is very possible for Jia Ling to overtake again.
With "Flying Life 2", Shen Teng is likely to surpass Wu Jing and once again become the "number one" at the box office in the Chinese mainland market. The current box office gap between the two of them is only 3.3 billion yuan.
After "Bear Bears: Reverse Time and Space", the total box office of the entire "Bear Bears" series will exceed 7 billion yuan. This achievement is second only to "Changjin Lake" and "Chinatown Detective" among domestic series movies. Among Chinese animated films, it is far ahead.
