This year’s May Day stall has officially ended.
Although it is a bit disappointing that there was no one hit that exceeded 1 billion during the five-day holiday, most of the 8 new films have recovered their costs. Compared with the 8 new films during the Spring Festival, 4 were released due to losses. Instead, it became an ordinary money-making period.
But some people are happy and some are sad. Generally speaking, Jia Bing's new film broke 390 million and became the big winner in the May Day holiday. Louis Koo made a counterattack, and Yang Mi and fell out of favor!
rushed to the second place from the bottom, with a box office of over 335 million. Louis Koo still cannot catch up, and the winner of the May 1st episode is determined.
As of May 5th, the top three at the May Day box office are.
" Peacekeeping Riot Squad " has a box office of over 406 million.
" Thelma and Louise " has a box office of over 390 million.
" Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " has a box office of over 335 million.
Although "Peacekeepers" narrowly won the schedule championship, the film cost over 100 million. During the period, it also experienced twists and turns such as substitutions, reshoots, deletions, etc. The film's cost overruns are probably quite large. In addition, the film was released on the It has lost the Japanese crown in 3 days, and its cumulative box office is about to be overtaken by "Thelma and Louise". It can be said that "Peacekeepers" is the champion, but it is not the big winner.
"Thelma and Louise" and Jia Bing are undoubtedly the super winners of this year's May 1st episode.
Jia Bing plus Xiaoshenyang . The title of the film is still a homophone that has been criticized by the audience in recent years. It has caught the popularity of the Hollywood classic "" Thelma and Louise ". Before its release, almost no one was optimistic about "Thelma and Louise". Box office prospects, and even the film studio itself did not have much publicity activities, completely letting the film fend for itself. Unexpectedly, the biggest rival of the comedy in the schedule, Yang Mi's " Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot " has a worse reputation.
The hilarious and brainless "Thelma and Louise" has become a must-have for entertainment during this period. The production cost of
movie is only 30 million. According to the current trend, the final box office of the movie is around 800 million. It is definitely the biggest dark horse in the May 1st period and even in the whole year. Jia Bing has also changed from a box office poison to the leading actor of a blockbuster with nearly 1 billion. I'm afraid this It was an ending that he had never thought of.
can only lament that mainland audiences really want to laugh out loud, and the advantages of prime-time comedies are too great.
"The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is undoubtedly a counterattack, but it is still embarrassing. The
movie was at the bottom both in terms of film schedule and box office on the first day of its release. However, relying on the reputation gained through the screenings, the box office fell for three consecutive days. On May 5, it overtook "Peacekeepers" to win the title. Second in the daily box office, rushing from the bottom to the second place, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is definitely the most inspiring blockbuster on May Day.
But it is also the most helpless.
The production cost of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" exceeded 300 million. It took four or five years to prepare and produce. Just rebuilding a Kowloon Walled City cost 70 million. It is a veritable major production on the May 1st schedule. According to the current situation The final box office of Trend Movie is around 750 million, and I am afraid that it will be in the awkward position of barely making back its money, or even suffering a slight loss.
This is one reason why audiences don’t trust Hong Kong films.
It is also a problem that theaters do not schedule movies. Even if the movie counterattacked on May 5 and ranked second at the daily box office, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" only accounted for 14.9% of the movies scheduled, while "Peacekeeping Riot Squad" was 22.4%. "Thelma and Louise" is 22.5%, which shows that it makes sense that Louis Koo cannot catch up with "Thelma and Louise".
lost over 80 million, and Yang Mi’s new film became a May Day box office disaster.
Except for the top three in the schedule, the box office of the remaining new films is.
"Spy House Code White" has a box office of 230 million.
" Howl's Moving Castle " has a box office of 120 million.
"Nothing That Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot" has a box office of 53 million.
" Journey Through the Moon " has a box office of 37 million.
"Pig Man Movie" has a box office of 33 million.
"Spy's Playhouse Code White" and "Howl's Moving Castle" are Japanese anime that have already achieved box office success overseas. This time entering the May 1st slot in mainland China is just the icing on the cake, especially "Spy's Playhouse Code White" "With the support of Chinese audiences, the global box office is approaching the US$100 million mark, and China will even surpass Japan to become the largest box office for movies.
"Journey Across the Moon" and "Pig Man Movie" have a high probability of ending up around 50 million. The performance of
is actually average, but the production costs of these two movies are not high, and even the losses are not serious.
The biggest box office tragedy on May Day this year was Yang Mi's "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot". The film's studio has officially announced its withdrawal, which can also prove the seriousness of the film's losses. According to reports, the film's production cost exceeded 100 million. , based on the current box office and the film studio sharing 37%, the movie has lost more than 80 million.
For Yang Mi, this almost cut off the road to transition into the film industry.
