On May 1, the May Day box office war officially begins.
As a prime time period with a five-day holiday, the popularity of this year’s May Day program has never been high. Many media even predicted that there will not be a blockbuster movie that will break 1 billion in box office. Judging from the opening of the May Day program on the first day, the audience The popularity is indeed not high.
"Peacekeeping Riot Squad" won the title on the first day of May Day, but Happy Twist's new film was lukewarm.
As of 7:00 on May 1, the top three single-day box office hits in the Mainland are "Peacekeeping Riot Squad", "Spy House Code White" and " Thelma and Louise ".
The box office of "Peace Keepers and Riot Squad" exceeded 44.5 million within 7 hours of its premiere, accounting for 27% of the scheduled films and 33.6% of the box office. "Peace Keepers and Riot Squad" is also one of the few new films not to be screened on May Day this year. With the addition of popular stars starring, Save the most explosive power for the premiere day.
The movie is a low-end version of " Operation Red Sea ". The 101-minute running time was originally too short in the theater production, but the ending subtitles are 13 minutes long. This means that the movie is only really long with content. It lasts about 80 minutes, which is about the same size as an Internet movie. Quality is the biggest problem of "Peacekeepers". After the popularity of "Peacekeepers" is exhausted, will "Peacekeepers" be unable to succeed?
The box office of "Spy House Code White" exceeded 22.75 million in a single day, accounting for 14.6% of the scheduled films. The
movie was released on April 30, and the cumulative box office in the two days it has been released has exceeded 59 million. Needless to say, the overseas box office of this film is 60 million US dollars after all, and it has already made money back. The May Day release in the mainland was originally thought to be the icing on the cake. The current trend may give mainland audiences a big surprise for "Spy House Code White", and it is expected to directly overtake Japan and become the movie's largest box office.
"Thelma and Louise" produced by Happy Twist has an average performance. The box office of
movie exceeded 20.31 million within 7 hours of its premiere, accounting for 14.4% of the scheduled films. The number of scheduled films is similar to that of "Spy House Code White". It also has the advantage of a premiere. It cannot beat the daily box office and attendance rate. It is really disappointing. disappointment.
The movie stars Jia Bing and Xiao Shenyang.
Happy Twist's first female director Wu Zhina wrote and directed the movie. From the title to the plot, the movie has a happy twist flavor. It is obvious that she wants to copy the 2022 Spring Festival hit Happy Twist ", the killer is not so calm " It's a miracle, but the audience can't eat the same routine twice, right? The box office of
was only 7.81 million within 7 hours of its release. Yang Mi’s new film was at the bottom. Is there no hope of repaying the money?
There are also " Howl's Moving Castle " and "Pigman Movie" released on May 1st, and they all performed well.
On the contrary, " The Siege of Kowloon Walled City " " Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot " " Journey Through the Moon " is a bit embarrassing.
"The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" has been screened on a large scale for nearly a week. It is obvious that it wants to follow the summer promotion model of Wang Baoqiang's 2023 " Octagonal Cage ", but this time it was a bit messed up. According to the trend, although the box office of the spot screenings has exceeded 80 million, the explosive power of the movie has been exhausted in advance.
As of 7:00 on May 1, the box office of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" in the first 7 hours was 9.27 million, and the scheduled film accounted for only 9.1%.
plus previous screenings, the cumulative box office exceeded 89.99 million.
The box office of "Journey Across the Moon" exceeded 8.83 million within 7 hours of its premiere, accounting for 8.8% of the film schedule. As a low-cost production, such results are relatively acceptable. The movie
stars two young actors, Zhang Zifeng and Hu Xianxu. It tells the story of a newlywed couple who live in two places and travel in both directions when the holidays come. Because they often take trains, they meet all kinds of passengers and see all kinds of life.
's movie has a good reputation, but it doesn't belong to the comedy-romance genre, and the audience is quite small. It is predicted that the final box office will exceed 100 million, which is victory.
"Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" became the bottom of this year's May Day live-action movies.The box office of
movie within 7 hours of its premiere was only 7.81 million, accounting for 8.2% of the scheduled films. Yang Mi and Yu Qian are two first-line celebrities whose box office appeal is not as good as that of the young actors in "Journey Across the Moon". It is really embarrassing. The movie is not as popular as "Journey Across the Moon". Like "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", it also had large-scale screenings, but even with the screenings, the film's current cumulative box office is only 21 million.
Perhaps the biggest problem with the movie is that it is too ambitious.
"Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" has four or five main actors in two scenes. According to online reports, the production cost of the film is as high as 100 million. It is obvious that the actors' remuneration accounts for the majority. It is estimated that the director wants to make "This Man Comes From" "Earth" is such a classic, but its plot concept and creativity are groundbreaking, while "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is simply a cliche script.
plus the acting skills of Yang Mi and Yu Qian are not good enough for the audience to ignore the cheap production. It is difficult for
to predict that the final box office of the movie will exceed 100 million, and the probability of recovering the money is extremely low.
