This year's summer season has come to an end, and overall it's a bleak one. Only one film has exceeded 3 billion in box office, and only one has exceeded 1 billion. Both are much worse than last year's results. It seems that the economic weakness is real.

However, on the other hand, there are really not many exciting movies this summer.

" Retrograde Life ", which has high hopes, is so down-to-earth that no one wants to waste money to watch it in the cinema. Chen Sicheng's " decryption " was another lonely film, and most movie fans said they were bored and couldn't understand it.

is Xu Zheng and Chen Sicheng's reputation. Otherwise, the box office of more than 300 million yuan may not be recovered.

As for Wu Ershan's " Under the Stranger ", it is even more bleak, with only over 100 million, not even as good as Shen Teng's cross-border " reverse scale ". It sold well. The originator of fantasy has failed in fantasy films , which shows everyone’s disappointment in the movie.

Some people also said that "Nezha 2" and "Fengshen Part 2" were not released in the summer season, and everyone's expectations for this year's summer season were much lower.

does not rule out this theory. After all, these two movies are scheduled to be hits. If they are really released in the summer, the situation this year may not be so bad.

Apart from domestic blockbusters, the performance of Hong Kong films this year is also very average.

Brother Jackie Chan spent 350 million to create " legend " with a box office of less than 100 million. " Customs Front " co-produced by Nicholas Tse and Jacky Cheung had 129 million, and " Negotiator " starring Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun only had 156 million.

It seems that whether it is a sentimental movie or a Hong Kong police and gangster movie, movie fans are no longer interested in it. In the second half of

's summer season, Hollywood blockbusters were stunned. " Alien: Death Ship ", which was released for 17 days, has already earned 645 million. It is not a big problem to even hit 800 million. On the contrary, it is a large number of domestic movies. Can't catch up.

On August 31, the last batch of summer movies were released, including Stephen Chow's classic movie "The God of Cookery ", which has never been released in the mainland for the first time in 28 years.

originally thought that Stephen Chow's name and the classic "God of Cookery" would be a great counterattack for Hong Kong films in the summer season.

However, the box office of the film on the first day of release was only 3.24 million. This result is somewhat disappointing to Stephen Chow. Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that the average movie ticket of 40 yuan is really too expensive, especially when spending so much money to watch a classic that has been watched many times, it naturally feels not cost-effective.

Judging from the forecast data, the best box office performance of "God of Cookery" may be around 13 million, which is definitely not a good result for a Stephen Chow movie.

is also a re-released movie and a classic blockbuster. Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky" still has a box office revenue of 135 million. The predicted box office of "God of Cookery" of 13 million is too low.

I thought that everyone’s feelings for classic movies would be enough to support the box office sales of “God of Cookery”, but I didn’t expect that the support rate was not high. It seems that everyone is really tired of watching Hong Kong movies.

reported online that Stephen Chow has a new movie in the works, but we don’t know when it will be released. I hope it will make fans excited.

On another note, theater chains have always said that none of the movies this year will be a hit, which means that there are too few good movies, resulting in low attendance.

But having said that, movie tickets have been really too expensive in recent years. Instead of empty cinemas, it is better to lower the prices to let the market pick up. At least lower the prices during normal times, and there will always be movie fans who will come to the cinemas.

If we always want to maintain high prices, the downturn in the theater market will not stop. Unless we encounter a masterpiece that is a big hit, the weak market this year will be an established fact. The National Day release of

is also fast. We will take a look at the market performance then and hope that this year’s National Day release will be strong.
