The three-month 2024 summer season has entered the final sprint stage.
According to Beacon Professional Edition data, as of 23:25 on August 17, the total box office (including pre-sales) of the 2024 summer season (June-August) exceeded 10 billion yuan, and " Catch the Baby " and " "Silent Kill " and " There is a Canteen Next to the Cloud" are temporarily among the top three in the box office list.
It is worth mentioning that as of now, only one film in the entire summer season, "Catch a Baby", has exceeded 3 billion yuan in box office. Together with the 1.3 billion yuan for "Silence", the two led the box office list, accounting for more than 44.6% of the summer box office.
The summer season has always been a golden period for domestic films to be released together. For example, " Wolf Warrior 2", the No. 1 box office record holder in Chinese film history, was released in the 2017 summer season. Data shows that more than 140 films are scheduled to be released or scheduled for release this summer. But judging from the current development trend, compared with last year's summer box office of 20.6 billion yuan, it is almost difficult to achieve.
In terms of films, "Catch Me" is currently far ahead with a cumulative box office of 3.1 billion yuan, and will undoubtedly become this summer's box office champion. In addition, the box office of "Silent Kill" exceeded 1.3 billion yuan, and among the other remaining films, none of the other films exceeded 1 billion yuan in box office.
data shows that there will be 34 films to be released in mid-to-late August, including the feature film "The Hedgehog", the Japanese animation " Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram ", and the Hollywood science fiction film " Alien: "Death Ship ", etc., with rich types and diverse themes, it is expected that the market will continue to heat up in the future.
However, it is now less than half a month until the end of the summer season, and there is indeed not much time left for the film industry.
