The annual May 1st Film Festival has officially kicked off, and major films have appeared one after another. The clues about who will win can be seen from the box office on the first day.
html On Wednesday, May 1st, the mainland box office rankings were released. The market grossed a total of 410 million. Thanks to its May 1st performance, the market grew rapidly and the number of moviegoers increased steadily. The ranking ofhas also undergone tremendous changes. The top three of have been replaced by three new films: "Peacekeeping Riot Squad", " Thelma and Louise " and " Spy Play House Codename: White ".
There are eight new films competing at the same time this time. It is impossible for the May Day slot to accommodate so many new films, so there will inevitably be some laggards.
Brother Fei summarizes that it can be divided into three levels:
The first level is the "cannon fodder" level. refers to " The Pig Man Movie·Interstellar Action ", " Journey Through the Moon " and " There is nothing a hot pot can't solve ".
The Pig Man movie series was the first film to be eliminated. Facing two animations imported from Japan, our cartoon is not that confident.
grossed 9.79 million at the box office on its first day on Wednesday, ranking eighth. It is obvious in the future that its film schedule will be preempted by other films, and after the three-day tour, it will basically be uninterested.
Zhang Zifeng and Hu Xianxu's "Journey Across the Moon" and Yang Mi Yuqian's "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" also encountered the same situation.
"Journey Across the Moon" debuted with 16.23 million, ranking seventh; "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" debuted with 18.37 million, ranking sixth.
Both films are predicted to have a box office of 100 million, especially Yang Mi. Everyone is questioning her box office appeal.
It is a romance film and a suspense film. It is in the inferior position in the schedule announcement. We don’t care whether the reputation is good or not. If the theater manager does not arrange the film, as a producer, there is no way to solve it.
The second step is a moderate level. Representative films of include " Howl's Moving Castle ", "Spy House Codename: White" and " Spending Money at the End of ".
"Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spy's Playhouse Codename: White" opened ahead of schedule on April 30. The key is that the attendance rate did not plummet, and the film schedule was stable at more than 10%, so the box office will naturally increase.
One is a classic animation in Miyazaki Hayao's film history, and the other is an IP that has exploded in recent years. Both have a certain fan base. In addition, they are the first choice for children to watch movies, and the May Day movies continue to explode.
"Howl's Moving Castle" received another 32.37 million the next day, and the total box office exceeded 50 million, ranking fifth; "Spy House Code: White" received 56.95 million the next day, and the box office approached the 100 million yuan mark. .
The runner-up was " Crazy Spending" starring Jia Bing, which made a box office of 85.79 million on the first day, which was a fair performance. This film is the only legitimate comedy film on the May Day holiday. If you want to relax during the May Day holiday, comedy movies should be your first choice.
Therefore, even if there are no big-name stars, the appeal of sketch actor Jia Bing alone can easily surpass many new films.
The third level is the box office explosive level. specifically refers to " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " and "Peacekeeping Riot Squad".
From a long-term perspective, these two films will "battle to the top of the Forbidden City" in the May Day holiday.
"The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" starring Louis Koo and Raymond Lam had the lowest pre-sale popularity before it was released. Subsequently, the film studio urgently adopted a two-round screening strategy, which completely saved the film.
html On May 1st, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" took in a box office of 49.65 million in a single day, ranking fifth. Including the box office of previous screenings, the total box office reached 130 million.The film has become the biggest dark horse in this schedule. Brother Phi predicts that the box office will increase significantly. Many viewers who have watched the film will automatically join the "tap water" ranks and help spread the word of mouth for free.
Currently, "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is the first to score 7.5 points on Douban. For an action film, with such a high reputation, there is no suspense that it will explode at the box office.
The one that is comparable to "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is undoubtedly "Peacekeeping Riot Squad".
This movie starring Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo, debuted with a box office of 135 million, strongly winning the first single-day box office championship. had a total box office of 50 million more than the runner-up " Crazy Spending". .
If "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" was not screened, we would compare it with the first-day results and it would be directly defeated.
The data is extremely eye-catching. "Peacekeepers" had a 26.8% first-day film schedule and a box office share of 32.9%. The lock-in rate remained high, accounting for almost one-third of the box office.
's predicted box office has also increased significantly from the previous 400 million to 683 million. There is no doubt that the film crew hired the right Wang Yibo this time.
Having Wang Yibo is equivalent to having the support of fans. Since its announcement, the popularity of this film has continued to skyrocket, and pre-sales have been far ahead. With such a high film scheduling rate, we can see how powerful Wang Yibo's fan appeal is. How powerful.
Wang Yibo has now become a lucky star. All producers who ask him to star in movies make money.
He has currently starred in four movies, all of which were box office hits.
"无名", directed by Cheng Er and starring Wang Yibo and Tony Leung during the Spring Festival last year, had a budget of 300 million, a total box office of 931 million in the mainland, and a net income of nearly 100 million shared by the film studio.
On the May Day holiday of the same year, " King of the Sky " starring Wang Yibo, Hu Jun, and Zhou Dongyu had a budget of 250 million, a total box office of 850 million, and a profit of more than 100 million.
was last year's summer release, " enthusiastic " starring Huang Bo and Wang Yibo, with a budget of 200 million, a total box office of 913 million, and a profit that greatly increased to more than 300 million. The fourth movie of
is the just-released "Peacekeeping Riot Squad". Judging from the trend, it is the rhythm of making money again.
Now, Wang Yibo, like actors such as Zhu Yilong and Yi Yang Qianxi, has successfully transitioned from the TV screen to the big screen, with impressive box office results that are obvious to the audience.
also hopes that Wang Yibo will achieve greater success in the future and bring us more excellent works.
