really didn’t expect that the overall performance of this year’s summer season would be so deserted at the beginning. In more than half a month that has passed, the cumulative box office of the season has been less than 1.3 billion yuan. Compared with the same period last year, this result , almost 600 million yuan less.
Currently, the anti-gang and anti-evil struggle movie "Sweeping Gangs: Never Give Up" co-starring Xiao Yang and Yu Ailei , with a box office result of 164.3 million yuan, is temporarily ranked as the box office champion of this summer season; The comedy film " I Don't Want to Be Friends with You " co-starring Jia Bing and others has temporarily ranked second in the schedule with a box office result of 163.8 million yuan. Then came the Japanese animated film " Garfield ", and the Hong Kong movie " Negotiator ", which was originally favored by the audience, had a total box office of only 124 million yuan.
In more than half a month, the cumulative total box office has been less than 1.3 billion yuan. Among them, the total box office of "Sweeping Crime: Never Give Up", which is currently the box office champion, is only 160 million yuan. From this point of view, the summer vacation in June this year is really deserted, and then we have to wait for the arrival of July and August, July's "Successor Plan" and August's " Counterattack on Life " ", are likely to become this summer's hit.
However, long before these two movies that may become blockbusters have officially arrived, this summer has already produced a movie with a very poor box office performance, and this movie is also a high-investment Hollywood blockbuster " Mysterious Friends" Friends 》.
"Mysterious Friends" is directed by the famous Hollywood director John Krasinski and stars the famous Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds. It is understood that the total investment in this film is as high as 110 million US dollars, which is almost 800 million yuan converted into RMB.
has a pretty good lineup and a huge investment, but its box office performance in North America and other markets is actually pretty good. The film's total box office in North America has exceeded US$100 million, and its cumulative global box office has reached US$174 million.
However, in the Chinese mainland market, the box office results of "Mysterious Friends" were pitifully low. Nearly a week later, the film's total box office in mainland China has not reached 2 million yuan.
If there were no other markets such as North America and only relied on mainland China, "Mysterious Friends" would eventually lose all its money, and it would inevitably become one of the films with the largest losses this year.
Fortunately, local audiences in North America were quite satisfied with the film. With a box office performance of over US$100 million, the film did not suffer a huge loss.
