Hollywood originally wanted to make a turnaround in the 2024 summer season.
did not expect that the extreme phenomenon of annihilation would occur. This week, the mainland film market welcomed another Hollywood blockbuster "A Quiet Place 3: Invasion Day". Unfortunately, this golden Hollywood brand still received a cold reception in the mainland market.
cost more than 500 million, and the daily box office in China is only 13 million. The failure of "A Quiet Place 3" is the black female protagonist? The first part of the
series was released in 2018. The production cost was only US$17 million, but the global box office exceeded US$300 million. After that, the reputation of the second part of the series declined, but the global box office was still strong, reaching US$291 million. This is a film history level. Dark Horse, Hollywood will definitely squeeze out the last bit of value, the third part of the series is actually a prequel.
is also the most ambitious work in the series, with the production cost soaring to 70 million US dollars, which is 500 million yuan.
is considered a blockbuster even in Hollywood.
The quality of "A Quiet Place" itself is actually not outstanding. It's quite speechless that such a weak alien monster can rule the earth in the film, but the setting is too novel. Previous horror films all had scary sound effects. I don't believe it. If you turn off the sound, most horror movies turn into comedies in seconds, but "A Quiet Place" no longer starts with surprises, and uses the fear of speaking out to create a sense of oppression.
was indeed very novel at the time, but after the first two parts of the series, the audience was already a little tired of it.
This time "A Quiet Place 3: Invasion Day" has a major change of directors and starring roles. It tells the story of the day when alien monsters invaded the earth. It focuses on science fiction scenes. The funny thing is that the creators have no idea about science fiction movies. Where do the monsters come from and what are they going to do? Well? we do not know.
Why do humans not use high-tech weapons when they have them? We also don't know, and Invasion Day doesn't solve the series' problems.
instead uses alien monsters as the background. The movie spends a lot of attention on the heroine Samira. She is terminally ill and does not care about the end of the world. When she knows that she cannot survive, her last wish is to return home. Go to Dad's pizza shop and take a bite of Dad's pizza.
A good horror film was made into a fresh and artistic style by the director.
I can only lament that Hollywood movie companies are so arrogant and do not take the fans of the series into consideration at all.
The heroine of the first two parts of the series is Emily Blunt . She is the goddess of many mainland movie fans. Unfortunately, the heroine of the prequel of the series has become Lupita Nyong'o. Why can she steal the goddess's reputation? series? Naturally, because Lupita Nyong'o is a Kenyan black actor who was born in Latin America and Mexico, many mainland viewers get a headache after seeing this zzzq movie full of buffs.
It can be said that the black female protagonist is the biggest failure of "Invasion Day" in the mainland market.
As of 17:00 on June 30, the third day after the movie was released in the mainland, the single-day box office dropped to 13 million, and the cumulative box office was 63 million. The final box office is predicted to be around 150 million, compared to the 250 million of the previous film "A Quiet Place 2" In terms of mainland box office, "Invasion Day" almost halved this time.
Chinese audiences didn’t buy it, and Hollywood’s summer season in the mainland was completely wiped out.
starts from the summer session in June.
Hollywood has successively released " Mad Max: Goddess of Fury ", " American Civil War ", " Mysterious Friends ", " Jedi Men 4", " Inside Out 2" and "A Quiet Place" in the mainland market. 3: Invasion Day" and many other blockbusters.
The lowest cost was US$70 million for "A Quiet Place 3: Invasion Day", and the highest was US$250 million for "Inside Out 2".
It can be said that Hollywood has a complete victory over domestic blockbusters in terms of cost and lineup.
However, the box office performance of these Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland has been bleak. For example, the box office of "Mysterious Friends" in the mainland was only 2.04 million, setting a new low for Hollywood blockbusters in recent years. The best-performing "Inside Out 2" was even less than 170 million box office, but the overseas box office of "Inside Out 2" has exceeded 900 million US dollars.
once again proved that there is a huge difference in the movie-watching tastes of mainland audiences and overseas audiences.
Next, more blockbuster new films will be released in Hollywood, such as " Despicable Me 4", " Deadpool and Wolverine ", " Tornado ", especially "Deadpool and Wolverine", which is definitely Marvel's " Spider-Man: No Homecoming is another emotional bomb.
But will Chinese audiences buy it? Can Marvel return to its peak in the mainland market?
This is all suspense.
