So far, the cumulative box office of "Provisional Heist" has exceeded the 100 million mark, with more than 2.6 million moviegoers! Among them, the box office on the first day was 23.57 million yuan, the next day's box office rose to 34.85 million yuan, the third day's box office was 26.84 million yuan, the fourth day's box office was 11.96 million yuan, today's box office is currently 2 million yuan, and the full-day box office is expected to be 11.26 million Yuan. Maoyan predicts that the final box office of "Temporary Heist" in the mainland will be 213 million yuan!
In terms of word-of-mouth: Maoyan score is only 8.6, Taopiaopiao score is 9.1, Douban score is 6.3, there are currently 16,000 reviewers, and word-of-mouth performance is average!
In a recent interview, Aaron Kwok admitted that he has always acted in serious works in the past ten years. After reading the script of "Provisional Robbery", he found it very interesting. The black humor style and absurd image of the gangster may be more interesting. Lots of room to play. During the filming process, Aaron Kwok also chose to appear without makeup and offered to wear buck teeth. Aaron Kwok was very saddened by the death of his famous voice actor, so he chose to dub Mandarin himself in this film. In addition, Aaron Kwok also said that he did not want to play repetitive roles all the time. This time he challenged comedy and hoped to be recognized by the audience.
Judging from the reviews given by the audience, the impression left on the audience by "Provisional Robbery" may only be "Buck-Toothed Aaron Kwok" and "Say Thank You". The shortcomings in the plot are the same as other Hong Kong movies, and they are still unresolved!
It is worth mentioning that the reputations of several recently released Hong Kong films are almost the same. "Temporary Heist" has a Douban score of 6.3, " Golden Finger " has a Douban score of 6.3, and " Stealth " has a Douban score of 5.7. Actors like Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Tony Leung, and Gordon Lam cannot bring Hong Kong movies back to life!
"Why are Hong Kong movies no longer a hit?" has also become a hot topic these days! According to statistics, the box office of leading Hong Kong films from 2018 to 2021 was stable at around 1.3 billion, dropped to around 700 million in 2022, and then became less than 500 million in 2023. The box office of leading Hong Kong films in the mainland market has shrunk by nearly 1 billion, falling back to the level of ten years ago. The reason why no new people appear is on the one hand, and on the other hand the plot is "unchanged"! There is no innovation in movies, and audiences slowly lose interest. When those audiences who grew up watching Hong Kong movies no longer pay for their feelings, Hong Kong movies will basically lose the mainland market!
