summer file finally has a savior.
html On July 13, " Catch a Baby " will be screened in advance. Yes, this comedy blockbuster starring Shen Teng Ma Li has not been officially released yet, and it has been regarded as sweet rain by hungry movie theaters!
The box office on the first day exceeded 150 million. The reputation of "Catch a Baby" is polarized. Can Shen Teng shake Jia Ling's throne?
As of 22:00 on July 13, the top three single-day box office hits in the Mainland are "Catch a Baby", " Silent Kill " and " Despicable Me 4".
The box office of "Catch a Baby" exceeded 150 million on the first day of screening, accounting for more than 30% of the scheduled films, and accounting for 50.2% of the box office. Such data can only say that Shen Teng and Ma Li have too strong appeal. You must know that the movie has not yet been officially released. It's showing.
However, the reputation of the movie is somewhat polarized.
The movie still takes place in Xihong City. It tells the story of Ma Chenggang Chunlan, played by Shen Teng and Ma Li, who does not have to endure hardships to raise her children. The first half is full of laughter. Shen Teng and Ma Li's performances are extremely good. Various jokes and jokes are Very comfortable.
However, in the second half of the movie, some viewers were dissatisfied with the joke of using the grandmother's death to encourage the children to take the Qingbei exam.
And as the plot develops, it is almost all a joke from hell. The main creator also wanted to reflect on Chinese-style education, but many viewers went to the movie for pure entertainment. The final climax was that the children gave up the college entrance examination to punish their parents and expose the conspiracy. In fact, it was not interesting, everyone. Everyone knows that their children are the second generation of rich people, and it doesn’t mean much whether they take the exam or not.
With the popularity of "Catch a Baby", the box office should easily exceed 3 billion without any rivals during the summer season.
However, there is suspense whether it can surpass Jia Ling's " hot " with a box office of 3.46 billion to win the annual championship.
The single-day box office of "Silent Kill" exceeded 79.92 million.
Although "Catch a Baby" was screened, it did not have such a big impact on "Silence". After all, the two movies have completely different themes and different audiences. The film's schedule accounted for over 26.1%, and its box office accounted for 26.3%. The cumulative box office in the 11 days after its release exceeded 782 million, and it is expected to hit the 1 billion box office mark next week.
"Despicable Me 4"'s single-day box office exceeded 43.79 million. The
movie has been in theaters for 2 days, and its share of scheduled films has dropped to 16%, while its box office share is 14.4%. The attendance rate is not bad. It can be considered a stable position among Hollywood blockbusters this summer. After all, it is going head-to-head with "Catch a Baby"! The current cumulative box office has exceeded 85 million, and the final box office is predicted to be 400 million, which is half of the previous film.
" legend " did not reach the top three at the box office. The single-day box office of the
movie dropped to 6.63 million. On the fourth day of release, the proportion of films scheduled was only 8.5%. The box office proportion was only 2.1%, and the attendance rate was at the bottom! With Jackie Chan and so many popular celebrities, let alone the general audience, why are even the fans unwilling to support it? The current cumulative box office is less than 70 million, and it is predicted that the final box office will stop at 100 million.
The 2024 martial arts film champion, with a box office of only 198,000 and 5,597 viewers, was beaten badly by Shen Teng!
html In fact, there will be three new films premiering on July 13th: " Erlang Shen: The Deep Sea Dragon ", "Weituomen" and "One Thousand and One Nights: Saving the Golden City".Unfortunately, due to the strength of Shen Teng's "Catch a Baby", the premiere of the new film was badly beaten.
The most interesting one is "Weituomen"!
As of 22:00 on July 13, the box office on the first day of the movie's release was only 198,000, and the number of moviegoers was only 5,597. This result is terrible, but according to statistics, "Weituomen" won the 2024 box office on its first day of release. The box-office champion of martial arts films!
Of course, there are only two martial arts films in the mainland film market in 2024. The other one is "天下无码" starring Zou Zhaolong, with a box office of only 56,000, and the release date of "World Invincible" is December 28, 2023, but Part of the box office is calculated in 2024.
It’s no surprise that “Weituomen” won the annual martial arts film championship.
But it is quite sad for martial arts films, a genre unique to Chinese-language films. In the past, martial arts films were the favorites of many viewers. Jet Li was also crowned the Kung Fu Emperor with martial arts films. However, in recent years, martial arts films seem to have lost their market. , lost the favor of the audience, we haven’t seen a martial arts masterpiece on the big screen for a long time.
"Weituomen" deserves recognition for its persistence, but its quality is disappointing.
In the film, Wei Tuomen is an ancient sect founded out of compassion. The male protagonist, Yu Ming, is the young leader. When he was in danger of annihilating the sect as a child, he was taken away by his master Ouyang Shun and eventually raised him. He also taught Wei Tuo. The family is excellent, but the male protagonist is not allowed to show his martial arts outside, thinking that the villain Lei Kun who destroyed the family back then is still watching from the dark.
The film director Ke Zhou is a martial arts director, but he has no representative works. This time "Wei Tuomen" was written and directed by himself. The plot is too cliche. The film also won the New York International Film Award for Best Action Film. Award, of course this so-called international award is just a gimmick.
The action scenes in the movie are still watchable, but in today's mainland market, this kind of subject matter is probably not destined to be a big seller.
Let’s wait and see whether Wu Jing’s “ ” and Tsui Hark’s “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” can help martial arts films turn the tide.
