On May 10 this year, the first Hollywood blockbuster of the month " Rise of the Planet of the Apes: New World " (hereinafter referred to as " Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4") was released simultaneously in theaters in mainland China and North America.
Someone once said, "Orangutans are the most perfectly evolved animals. They are very smart but don't have to go to work." Someone else once said, "If orangutans evolve again, they should start working like humans." These words are really applicable to Hollywood's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series of movies.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a major IP in Hollywood that has spanned more than fifty years. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4", which was officially released on May 10 this year, is the latest in the series.
The plot of the film takes place three hundred years after the death of the protagonist Caesar in the previous work. It mainly tells the story of the "ape flu" virus that spreads around the world. Humanity is almost destroyed, and apes suddenly become the top of the food chain and become the leader of apes. Caesar established the first empire in the history of the apes. The appearance of the human girl Nova aroused Caesar's alert. She seems to hold a huge secret, which is not only related to the survival of mankind, but may even subvert the entire "Planet of the Apes" again. Forced to flee, while evading Caesar's army, Nova's fate intersects with that of the young ape Noah, unveiling the story of an adventurous journey.
As the latest work in a series of big IPs that have been popular for more than fifty years, "War for the Planet of the Apes" has always attracted much attention from its release to its official release. Therefore, on the first day of its release, the film easily topped the daily box office in mainland China.
On the first day of its release, "War for the Planet of the Apes" grossed more than 21 million yuan at the box office in the Chinese mainland market, successfully reaching the top spot in Japan.
And after "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" became the daily box office champion in the Chinese mainland market, the Hong Kong film " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " starring Louis Koo's championship road has officially ended.
"The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is a Hong Kong movie that is highly rated by audiences. Its appearance makes domestic audiences seem to see the future of Hong Kong films again.
Since its release on May 6, the film has successfully defeated the two movies ": Thelma and Louise " and " Peacekeeping Riot Squad " and successfully topped the Japanese charts. After that, it started a four-day journey to the crown of the sun.
Unfortunately, on the fifth day, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" ran into "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4", and the Hong Kong film finally lost to the Hollywood blockbuster.
