Wang Jing and Guan Zhiyao's new work "Chasing the Dragon II" was released on June 6th, competing with "X-Men: Black Phoenix" at the same time, and it was a hot battle.
Affected by word of mouth, "Chasing the Dragon II" lost to Hollywood blockbusters after all, and couldn't take off at all. It is "X-Men: Black Phoenix" that holds the top spot in the Japanese box office rankings.
Long before the release of "Chasing the Dragon II", Wang Jing posted a Weibo with a pun, indicating that the box office target would hit 2 billion yuan.
However, after 4 days of release, the total box office of "Chasing the Dragon II" was only 190 million yuan. It is difficult to exceed 400 million, and there is no need to expect to achieve the goal.
"Chasing the Dragon II" had a box office of 47 million yuan on the first day, ranking second in the daily box office rankings. The next day it rose to 65 million yuan, but it began to decline on the third day, with revenue of 43 million yuan.
June 9th, the fourth day of the film’s release, continued to fall, 28 million yuan, and fell to fourth place in the daily box office rankings, being awarded by "The Best of Us" and "Godzilla 2: Monsters" "The King" overtakes.
"Chasing the Dragon II", which brings together the four big actors of Liang Jiahui, Koo Tianle, Lin Jiadong, and Ren Dahua, was originally a promising new work before it was officially released. The key reason why it was not popular at the box office was due to its unsatisfactory reputation. .
Currently, the score of "Chasing the Dragon II" on Douban is only 5.8 points, which is a significant drop compared to the previous work. In 2017, "Chasing the Dragon" Douban scored 7.2 points, which is the best reputation among director Wang Jing's works in recent years.
"Chasing the Dragon" has a box office of up to 570 million yuan, which is a dark horse at the box office in 2017. The cast of "Chasing the Dragon II" has been fully upgraded, but the box office may not exceed 400 million yuan.
The story of "Chasing the Dragon II" has nothing to do with "Chasing the Dragon". The first part is about Lei Luo and Lao Hao, while the second part is about the story of the King of Thieves. The reason why it is named "Chasing the Dragon" II: The King of Thieves, to a certain extent, can be seen as the enthusiasm for chasing dragons.
But "Chasing the Dragon II" is a mediocre work after all, obviously not comparable to "Chasing the Dragon". Now it seems that "Chasing the Dragon" can only be regarded as an accidental work by director Wang Jing, this time it is serious again Get up, still can't make a masterpiece. The theme of the
story is obviously brilliant, but it failed to play a new idea. There are logical loopholes in the plot, and the cast is also quite luxurious. It is a pity that a good hand is played so badly.
Judging from the current box office trend, the total box office of "Chasing the Dragon II" is up to 300 million+. After all, the downward trend is obvious, and then we will encounter a new opponent "Men in Black: Global Pursuit".
