Hong Kong movies in 2024 can be said to have been beaten into pieces.

I originally thought that this year's blockbuster productions such as " Kowloon Walled City ", " Customs Front " and " Legend " would wipe out the decline of Hong Kong films in the past two years. Unexpectedly, the box office of these blockbusters was a One part is not as good as one part.

"Burning City" has no hope of repaying its original investment, and the pre-sale box office of Sandra Ng's new film is only 613,000!

There are less than 2 months left before the end of 2024. The situation of Hong Kong films this year is basically clear.

Louis Koo's "Kowloon Walled City" exceeded 684 million, becoming the box office champion of Hong Kong films in the mainland this year. This result is obviously not as good as expected. You must know that in previous years, the most popular Hong Kong films started at 1 billion in the mainland market. Fortunately, the film is overseas The box office was good, allowing the movie to make back its money.

Except for "Kowloon Walled City", this year's Hong Kong movies can be said to be completely wiped out.

Aaron Kwok's "" has a box office of 237 million, Jackie Chan's "Legend" has a box office of just over 80 million, and Nicholas Tse's "Customs Front" has a box office of 129 million, basically not recovering the cost.

The recently released "Burning City" has received excellent reviews and is claimed to be the best Hong Kong film this year.

Unfortunately, as of November 12, the box office of the movie was only 190 million, and the film production cost exceeded 200 million. There is no hope of returning the money.

According to the new film release plan, there are only two Hong Kong films left in 2024, "My Love" and "Blood Burning". Although Donnie Yen's " misjudged " is highly anticipated, there is a high probability that it will be released. It will be released next summer.

"The Love I Loved" is the champion of this year's Hong Kong Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hong Kong box office exceeded 17 million, which is nothing in the mainland market, but it is considered a hit in the Hong Kong market. The movie stars Sandra Ng and tells the story of a rich woman who was cheated in online dating. However, the movie does not focus on the so-called anti-fraud. Instead, it explores the desires and love of middle-aged people. A story like

obviously does not suit the taste of mainland audiences. As of November 12, the film’s mainland pre-sale box office was only 613,000.

may not be able to lead Hong Kong films to a turnaround, so can "Blood Burning"?

has been on the shelf for 6 years. The film was renamed and withdrawn three times at a cost of 150 million. Is 57-year-old Jordan Chan going to save Hong Kong films?

In 2015, "Pancake Man ", directed and starred by Dapeng, broke through 1 billion at the box office with the gimmick of "Young and Dangerous".

This also makes many Hong Kong movies jealous. "Blood Burning" is obviously made to follow the trend. The

movie was prepared in 2017 and was completed in 2018. However, I don’t know why it has been difficult to release the movie. It was originally scheduled for 2021, then withdrawn, and then twice withdrawn and scheduled, and finally experienced three withdrawals. It was just announced that it will be released on November 30 this year.

At this time, the movie had been hidden for 6 years, and even director Qian Guowei passed away in 2020.

What is interesting is that the movie also changed the title from " alone against " to "Blood Burning". I believe fans of Hong Kong movies know that "Blood Burning" is the theme song of "Young and Dangerous". It can be said that the film crew is trying to gain popularity. His thoughts were written on his face.

Of course, movies also have this confidence.

In addition to Ekin Cheng, the original cast of "Young and Dangerous" such as Jordan Chan, Nicholas Tse and Lin Xiaofeng also star. The production cost of the film exceeds 150 million, making it definitely the most blockbuster Hong Kong film at the end of the year.

"Blood Burning" is still the three pillars of Hong Kong movies. The police and criminal brothers also catch the mole.

The protagonists are four good brothers. They take the police exam together and catch the bad guys. Unexpectedly, in one operation, four people fell into a trap and two died. The remaining two people all suspected that the other was a spy, but in the end they worked together to defeat the gang. The villain takes revenge on his brothers.

This kind of story is too cliche. More importantly, the 57-year-old Jordan Chan has become the king of bad movies. It may not be easy to save Hong Kong movies.

Starting from 2021, Jordan Chan has transformed into a major internet photographer, including "The Storm", " Fights Again ", " Heavy Duty ", " Loop ", "Sea Hunt", etc. He has filmed 7 movies in just 3 years It was a bad movie on the Internet, and its box office also plummeted. "Sea Hunt" even only had a box office of 3.04 million, which shows the audience's disappointment in this veteran Hong Kong star!

Of course, Jordan Chan has participated in many popular variety shows in the past two years, and has the emotional blessing of "Young and Dangerous".

If the quality of "Blood Burning" is decent, it may be a dark horse at the end of 2024!
