Let's calculate it 160 million to calculate. The 160 million box office of the
82 version of "Shaolin Temple" is based on the movie ticket prices at the time.
In 1982, a movie ticket sold for 1.5 cents to 2 cents. If calculated at 2 cents, the number of movie viewers would need to reach 800 million. The population in 1982 was 1.02 billion. According to the number of movie theaters and screen coverage in the country at that time, this data is quite amazing.
is certain that the movie "Shaolin Temple" did cause a sensation at home and abroad at the time, and it was also very popular after being exported to Japan. At that time, the Shaolin Temple, which had only more than forty monks, burned up. Many young people and children who had watched movies came to practice martial arts.
So far, every time Jet Li talks about "Shaolin Temple", he will still express that he regrets making this movie because it has caused many children to delay their studies.
Let's talk about the box office myth "Wolf Warrior 2" in 2017. The box office in the Mainland reached RMB 5.681 billion. This data is very clear. If you calculate according to the ticket price of 50 yuan, the number of movie viewers has already exceeded 100 million, which is achievable for the screen coverage in 2017.
The success of "Wolf Warrior 2" is due to the many advantages of the movie itself. The story is fascinating, the characters are distinct and personal, the fighting is fierce, the action scenes are magnificent and beautiful, and the patriotism is promoted, and it is full of positive energy, which makes people feel a masculine rush. When it was released, the number of films was not very high at the beginning. Later, as the word of mouth got better and better, the cinema rushed to arrange films. After that, even those uncles and aunts who rarely watch movies are also admitted to the cinema by Amway, and the box office can be so high for this reason.
In fact, "Shaolin Temple" is a pure kung fu movie with very powerful plot and action. It assembled the best martial arts team in the country at that time, and even the theme song and interlude were invited to sing by famous artists. It is still a classic of Chinese movies today. "Wolf Warrior 2" is also a rare masterpiece in the new century movies, and its box office results are enough to prove its excellence. Both movies have their own unique features and are both good movies.
