is coming to an end on January 21st, which is this Sunday.
Almost all 15 new films this week were wiped out, and there are almost no new films released next week, which means that before the Spring Festival, there will be no surprises in the mainland film market. Dapeng's "The Annual Party Can't Stop" finally had the last laugh. . Will
break 1.3 billion? Is Dapeng also going to break the January curse?
As of 22:00 on January 21, the single-day box office champion and runner-up in the mainland are still "The Annual Meeting Cannot Stop" and "Temporary Robbery".
"The Annual Party Can't Stop" has a single-day box office of over 37.66 million, with its share of scheduled films rising to 21.9% and box office share as high as 35.2%. Its 24-day attendance rate is higher than that of new films this week. This kind of box office stamina is really outrageous. Even the movie has been the box office champion for 21 consecutive days. With the failure of the siege of new films this week, there is a high probability that the championship of "The Annual Party Can't Stop" can remain a blockbuster release during the Spring Festival.
The current cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 950 million.
According to this trend, and the Spring Festival blockbuster movies are only released in the past 20 days, I boldly predict that "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" will exceed 1.3 billion.
We all know that the period from January to the Spring Festival is one of the most deserted periods every year. For so many years, almost no new movies can break 1 billion in box office during this period. It is called the box office curse of January. I didn’t expect it. Easily broken by Dapeng.
"Temporary Heist" has a single-day box office of over 26 million.
Due to average attendance, the movie schedule dropped to 22%. The cumulative box office in the three days after the release exceeded 85 million. It is predicted that its final box office will be around 180 million. How to say this result?
Aaron Kwok, Yan Xianqi and Lam Jiadong’s magical lineup, this is the first Hong Kong film in the year 2024. Such a result can only be said to be barely passing. Fortunately, the production cost of the film is not particularly high, and it is produced by Taochang, so there is a high probability that it will With cloud cinema online, there is little pressure to recoup costs.
lost more than 150 million, and Chinese and American audiences did not buy it. The biggest box office tragedy in 2024 was born.
Except for "Temporary Robbery", which performed slightly better among the new films this week, the rest were basically beaten by "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop".
In fact, most of the 15 new films this week were produced at a low cost, and only "The Temporary Robbery", "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and "The Divine Dog Headed by a Family with Children" attracted slightly more attention.
Among them, the single-day box office of "Flower Thousand Bones" was only 1.31 million, and the cumulative box office in the two days after its release was only 4.35 million. It is simply sorry for the big IP of "Flower Thousand Bones".
Of course, "Family with Children" is even more disappointing.
If "Flower Thousand Bones" is a big IP, then "Family with Children" is definitely a super IP. As the childhood memories of countless people, Liu Meixia and Donghai's family have accompanied the growth of a generation. Such sentiments and the so-called cost of 150 million have resulted in ridiculous box office results.
As of 22:00 on January 21, the single-day box office of "Family with Children: The Divine Dog Head" was only 56,400. It's only the second day since
was released, and the film schedule ratio is only 0.2%. The attendance rate is the lowest among new films in the same period. The cumulative box office is only 233,000, which is equivalent to wasting the cost of 150 million.
Many viewers are wondering why a movie adapted from a sitcom costs so much?
The reason is that the film studio's box office ambitions are too baffling.
Obviously only Chinese audiences have feelings for "Family with Children", but the movie hired a Hollywood production team and claimed to create an international plot. The result is that the director and screenwriter are all Hollywood teams, and the plot is based on American characters. Mainly from the perspective of the audience, so what do Chinese audiences watch? You must know that the plot of "The Divine Dog Headed by a Family with Children" has almost nothing to do with the drama version.
The cost of hiring a Hollywood team is high cost.
Not to mention other things, the movie stars Hollywood A-list actress Megan Fox, the heroine of "Transformers". Her salary almost entered the Hollywood super-A-list industry, which is the $20 million salary club. Even if Megan Fox's popularity has declined in recent years, the salary is not cheap for domestic productions.
With Chinese stars such as Lin Yongjian and Hou Minghao starring, it is a question whether the 150 million cost of this movie should be spent on hiring the stars or on the production.
The funniest thing is that the filming of the movie was completed in 2020, and the film crew is confident that it will be released overseas first.
As a result, the overseas box office was only 1.24 million US dollars, and the North American market did not even dare to release it, because obviously no one bought it, so why waste the cost of publicity and distribution?
Seeing that the overseas market was no longer expected, the film crew took advantage of the Chinese audience and played the emotional card. They even announced at the film premiere that there would be a sequel to the film version of "Family with Children". This time, Song Dandan and Yang Zi were invited. When the original cast appears, it will be really full of gimmicks, but it’s a pity that it’s hard to fool the current audience.
Chinese audiences are no longer the saviors of bad movies!
This time "Family with Children: The Divine Dog" suffered a setback at the box office, and neither Chinese nor American audiences bought it. It is definitely the biggest box office tragedy in 2024 so far!
Faced with such a huge loss, I believe there is no chance of a sequel to the movie version of "Family with Children".
