However, the market's attention is focused on whether Xu Zheng's " Retrograde Life " can save the market. Entering the second half of the summer season, the momentum of " Catch a Baby " has slowed down, and the performance of blockbuster new films such as " decrypted " is not as expected, but The summer season has fallen into a deserted state again.
html The box office exceeded 27.05 million in 119 hours, beating "Catch a Baby". Xu Zheng's new film took the first place in the box office!
As of 9:00 on August 9, the top three single-day box office hits in the Mainland are "Retrograde Life", "Catch a Baby" and "Decryption".
"Retrograde Life" grossed RMB 27.05 million on its first day within nine hours of its release, accounting for 33.2% of the film schedule and 50.2% of the box office, which is a pretty good performance.
However, it is worth noting that 17 million of the first-day box office of 27.05 million came from the results of previous screenings. Since screenings are not counted as releases, they are added to the first-day box office. Of course, with the advantage of scheduling, "Retrograde Life" "It is certain that it defeated "Catch a Baby" to win the first-day box office championship.
But whether "Retrograde Life" can be a box office hit this time depends on the follow-up word-of-mouth trend.
Xu Zheng is really going against the trend this time. The movie has caused a lot of trouble before it was released. First, some viewers criticized the movie for poor people paying to watch rich people playing poor people. Of course, this argument does not depend on the quality of the movie at all. It’s really not appropriate to simply vent your emotions. You must know that all blockbusters are completed by star actors, and these people will definitely not be paid low.
If this kind of criticism is followed, then there is no need for Chinese movies to exist.
Due to "囧Mom", some theaters even refused to release "Retrograde Life", but from the follow-up, no one responded. After all, Xu Zheng actually directed "My Hometown and Me" after "囧Mom" ”, “My Fathers and Me”, and also starred in “ Love Myth ”, all of which were successfully released to the theaters. In the reality of the deserted summer season, it is impossible for theaters to refuse a big production.
The fact that more than 33% of the movies were scheduled on the first day is proof.
The production cost of "Retrograde Life" exceeds 200 million. According to the current trend, if the box office exceeds 600 million, there should be no problem in returning to the original line!
Under the impact of "Retrograde Life", the single-day box office of "Catch a Baby" dropped to 3.34 million, the proportion of scheduled films dropped to 24.5%, and the box office proportion was 17%.
's 27-day reign as the Japanese film has been ended, and its cumulative box office has exceeded 2.81 billion in 25 days of release.
There is absolutely no problem for "Catch a Baby" to win this summer's championship. The key is that Shen Teng's initial goal must be Jia Ling's annual box office championship. " is hot and hot " has a box office of 3.46 billion, and "Catch a Baby" has a box office of 3.46 billion. There is still a gap of 660 million. Fortunately, "Catch Me" has far more staying power than "It's Hot". Now we can only hope that this week's new film will not be so strong.
can allow "Catch a Baby" to continue to maintain a certain number of filming scenes.
"Decryption" was basically carried away. The single-day box office of
movies was only 2.37 million, accounting for 12.4% of the scheduled films and 12.1% of the box office. The cumulative box office critical reception in the seven days after its release was 241 million. It is difficult for
to predict that the final box office of the movie will exceed 400 million. This is the second time that Chen Sicheng has failed in the summer season. In 2022, Chen Sicheng spent 350 million to create "Mozart in Outer Space" failed miserably, and the "Outer Space" trilogy directly was put on hold.
According to Chen Sicheng's idea, "Decryption" will also be a trilogy. It is even said that "Decryption 2" will allow Wang Baoqiang to continue A Bing's story.
Now it seems that this series will become obsolete. After all, the production cost of "Decryption" exceeds 500 million, and the probability of recovering the money is extremely low.
"White Snake 3" and Zhu Yilong 's new film are eyeing it!
Although "Retrograde Life" won the first place at the box office, its rivals were not just "Catch a Baby".
html August 10th is the Chinese Valentine’s Day, and there will be 4 new films coming.Among them, " White Snake: Floating Life " and " Negative Negative Gain Positive " all focus on love. Compared with realistic themes such as "Retrograde Life", they are undoubtedly more lovable. The pre-sale of
also explains everything.
The pre-sale and pre-sale box office of "White Snake: The Floating Life" has exceeded 56 million, accounting for 27% of the first-day film schedule. The media predicts that the first-day box office of the movie will hit 130 million. In addition, the first two movies have already accumulated a lot of fans. Last year's " Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles " also expanded the influence of light-chasing animation. As long as the quality is good, "White Snake: The Floating Life" is very likely to be a 1 billion box office hit.
It goes without saying that "a negative makes a positive".
Zhu Yilong has almost never failed since he transitioned to filmmaking.
is a popular star with acting skills, and Zhu Yilong is also the producer this time. The fantasy love theme is also very advantageous during the Chinese Valentine's Day. "The Negative and the Positive" definitely has the potential to become a dark horse.
