I didn’t expect that “Aquaman 2” lost the box office title so easily.
2023 can be regarded as the Waterloo of Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland. Not to mention blockbusters with a box office of over 1 billion, there are even very few Hollywood movies that can win the single-day box office championship. From this perspective, it is good that "Aquaman 2" can last for so long. , perhaps the box office setback is also related to the lackluster schedule.
"Aquaman 2" has no hope of breaking 400 million, and there is still a Hollywood blockbuster to make its finale!
As of December 26, the single-day box office champion and runner-up in the mainland are "The Third" and "Aquaman 2" respectively.
The single-day box office of "The Third" exceeded 18.8 million, and its share of scheduled films rose to 22%. It seems that the low attendance rate of "Aquaman 2" caused a lot of arrears in the number of scheduled films. "The Third" accounted for as high as 32.7% of the box office , continues to maintain an excellent attendance rate. Unfortunately, the cumulative box office of the movie in the 12 days after its release was 473 million, and there is no hope of hitting the 600 million box office.
The single-day box office of "Aquaman 2" was 14 million, and its proportion of scheduled films dropped to 27.9%.
's cumulative box office exceeded 262 million within 7 days of its release. The movie held the Japanese crown for 5 consecutive days, but it has been suppressed by "The Third" after the working day. This is really embarrassing. After all, "Aquaman 2" is a new film. The reason may be In the past two years, fans of Hollywood blockbusters have become more and more popular. In the past, Hollywood sequels were fine without watching the previous ones. However, in recent years, Hollywood has begun to develop movie universes. The plots of the
series are very coherent. If the audience stops watching one day, they may have given up on the entire series.
This is not good news for Hollywood. Compared with the big IP series, the only bright spot for Hollywood in the mainland this year should be "Oppenheimer", an original biopic with a box office of more than 450 million in the mainland. It has achieved quite outstanding results, and it is also one of the largest overseas box office for movies. Perhaps it is not that mainland audiences are no longer interested in Hollywood, but that Hollywood has relied too much on those series of works in recent years.
After all, if you watch too many superhero movies, you will really get bored.
When the box office of "Aquaman 2" was not as good as expected, a concert movie "Taylor Swift: Time Tour" is quite a dark horse!
The Chinese version only deleted 1 minute, and the global box office exceeded 1.78 billion. The final Hollywood blockbuster in 2023 is here.
This year’s New Year’s Eve slot is fiercely competitive, with 13 new films squeezed in during the short three-day holiday.
Among them, "If You Are the One 3", "Goldfinger", "Stealth" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" are all super blockbusters. Not to mention that there are big dark horses like "Twinkle Twinkle Star". I never expected that a Hollywood blockbuster would dare to be released in the air, and I never expected that it would crush Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai's "Goldfinger" just after it was scheduled for pre-sales.
So far, the pre-sale box office of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has exceeded 312 million, which is far ahead among the New Year's Eve movies.
"The Annual Party Can't Stop" relied on constant screenings, and the box office also exceeded 54 million, but the actual pre-sale box office was 8.62 million.
The pre-sale box office of "Taylor Swift: The Age of Concert Tour", which was released from the air, exceeded 19.82 million. It was released less than 10 days ago and within 4 days of opening pre-sale, it ranked third among new films released on New Year's Day. If we only count the pre-sale results, "Taylor Swift: The Age of Concert Tour" actually surpassed "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" and became the runner-up.
Why?
To a certain extent, "Taylor Swift: The Age of Concert Tour" is a fan movie.
The movie shows the live footage of pop music queen Taylor Swift’s 2023 Era Tour Concert. In fact, it filmed Swift’s concert in the form of a documentary. This theme is also called a concert movie. For fans For me, using the money of a movie ticket to get an effect comparable to a concert is naturally worth it.
The movie was released in overseas markets in October, and the global box office exceeded 250 million US dollars, which is 1.78 billion yuan. For a movie with almost no production cost, such results are really outstanding, and it also demonstrates Swift's strong appeal. This time it will be released in mainland China on December 31, which is the last day of 2023.
made its final appearance.
And the Chinese version is 169 minutes long. Compared with the 170 minutes of the overseas version, only 1 minute was deleted. However, there is an extended version of 181 minutes overseas. Mainland audiences will definitely not be able to watch it on the big screen.
According to the current trend, the final box office of "Taylor Swift: Time Tour" in the mainland is expected to exceed 200 million. Even if
is released two months later, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans remains undiminished. It will most likely overtake the British market and become the largest overseas ticket warehouse for movies. It can also be regarded as saving the face of Hollywood at the last moment in 2023.
