, we will usher in the most anticipated schedule besides the three major schedules in China - the May 1st schedule.
This year’s May Day holiday can be said to be the most fiercely competitive at the box office in Chinese film history, because there are currently a total of ten new domestic films scheduled to be released in this year’s May Day holiday, two more than the Spring Festival holiday, and There are also some relatively exciting film works among them. Therefore, the cumulative box office of this year’s May Day schedule is likely to break the box office record in film history.
However, it is precisely because there are many movies scheduled and there are many anticipated works among them, it is difficult to determine which movie will ultimately win and win the box office championship of the schedule.
According to domestic movie platforms, the ten movies scheduled to be released on May Day are "Howl's Moving Castle", "Spy's House", " Xiaoqian ", " Peacekeeping Riot Squad " and " Across the Moon" "Travel ", " There's nothing a hot pot can't solve ", " Thelma and Louise ", " The Siege of Kowloon Walled City ", "Rescue from the Furious Sea" and "The Pig Man Movie".
Among them, there are four relatively anticipated movies, namely "Howl's Moving Castle", "Peacekeeping Riot Squad", "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" and "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", so this year There is a high probability that the May Day box office champion will be born among these four movies. If we can now tell which movie will win the final, we still have to look at the number of people who want to see it and the current pre-sale box office results.
Because it is now approaching the May Day holiday, those movies that are confirmed to be released on the May Day holiday have basically started box office pre-sales.
What people didn’t expect is that after pre-sales started, the movie with the worst pre-sale box office performance turned out to be the more anticipated "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City".
According to statistics, the current pre-sale box office of the film is less than 60,000 yuan, which is less than the animated film "Xiao Qian" which is not very anticipated.
You must know that "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is a Hong Kong film with a very strong cast. The film brings together many Hong Kong superstar actors such as Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Ren Xianqi and Raymond Lam. Moreover, it is said that the total investment of this Hong Kong film is as high as 200 million yuan, and it will take three years to be released to the audience. But its pre-sale box office was at the bottom, which is really unexpected.
Maybe domestic audiences still don’t trust Hong Kong movies very much. After all, Hong Kong movies in recent years are really not very good.
On the contrary to "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", the film that is temporarily ranked first in the pre-sale box office list is "Peacekeeping Riot Squad" co-starring Wang Yibo and Huang Jingyu. The film's pre-sale box office revenue exceeded 4 million yuan, far exceeding other films.
"Peacekeeping Riot Squad" is China's first overseas peacekeeping-themed commercial film. It can be said that it has experienced some difficulties in its release, but fortunately there is no breach of contract and it will finally meet us in more than ten days.
In addition to the pre-sale box office results, "Peacekeepers" also has a very large number of people who want to watch it, nearly 500,000 people. It has the most people except Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle". So if nothing else happens, and if the quality of the film is good, then this year's May Day box office champion will most likely be "Peacekeeping Riot Squad."
