thought about the poor box office performance of " Rise of the Planet of the Apes4" in the mainland, but he did not expect it to be so dismal.
On May 10th, the mainland film market is facing another major reshuffle. "War for the Planet of the Apes" premiered, and the May Day blockbusters still have their remaining power. I thought it would be a box office war, but unfortunately the blockbusters in the melee were a bit miserable.
Only 20.5 million was sold on the first day. The box office of "War for the Planet of the Apes" collapsed. This dish of cold rice from 7 years ago cannot be sold.
As of 23:00 on May 10, "War for the Planet of the Apes" has won the mainland daily box office championship with a large advantage.
But this does not mean that "War for the Planet of the Apes" is a victory. The box office of
movie on the first day exceeded 20.5 million, accounting for more than 26.6% of the scheduled films. It can be seen that the theaters are full of expectations for "War for the Planet of the Apes" this time, but the movie is extremely disappointing. The previous film "War for the Planet of the Apes" in 2017 Released in 2018, the box office in the Mainland exceeded 124 million on the first day!
"War for the Planet of the Apes" is not even a fraction of its predecessor. It can really be called a box office collapse. Based on the current trend,
predicts that the final domestic box office of "War for the Planet of the Apes" will not exceed 200 million, while the domestic box office of the previous films "War for the Planet of the Apes" and "War for the Planet of the Apes 2" both exceeded 700 million. The first part of this series was released in 2011. , the mainland box office was 179 million, which means that this series took 13 years to return to the starting point in the mainland market.
and even the movie are very likely to hit a new box office low in the series.
Why? The
movie cost US$200 million to produce, which is 1.4 billion yuan. It is one of the most blockbuster special effects blockbusters in Hollywood this year, not to mention the highly influential IP "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", whether it is the old version or the new version. The songs have good reviews.
But the problem lies with the first three parts of the series.
Audiences who have watched the movie must know that the first three parts of the series are a complete story, originally because the series has ended.
I didn’t expect that after 7 years, Hollywood was dead, and this IP was moved up again. What was done 7 years ago would have to be fried again. Even if it cost 1.4 billion, it would only cover up the essence of movies selling feelings and fried rice. To put it simply, Said the movie has nothing new.
The details of the story are even more confusing to the audience.
The film is set hundreds of years after Caesar's death, and the heroine is sent out to perform a special mission.
Do you dare to imagine that it has been hundreds of years? The heroine just presses a button, and the shelter calls, the light bulbs are all on, and the weapons in the shelter can even be used. This setting is no longer science fiction but fantasy. In " Under the impact of dimensionality reduction in " The Wandering Earth ", Hollywood-style science fiction films are no longer popular.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was once a golden brand in Hollywood, but now it has been completely ruined.
This makes me sigh with emotion, and it also teaches domestic films a good lesson. Hollywood is so powerful, and once it starts to stop making progress, it will soon be in decline. Just like Hong Kong movies back then, domestic films want to If you want to go out, I'm afraid you have to think carefully about how to avoid this situation.
" Kowloon Walled City " fell to third place, while " " still had the last laugh.
The premiere of "War for the Planet of the Apes" was not as good as expected, and the new May Day movies are even more bleak.
As of 23:00 on May 10, the single-day box office of "Thelma and Louise" exceeded 12.2 million, accounting for 20.8% of the scheduled films. The cumulative box office in the 10 days after its release exceeded 470 million. It must be said that comedy films have an advantage on weekends. " "Thelma and Louise" has once again surpassed "Kowloon Walled City". With the current trend, there is no suspense that the film's box office will eventually exceed 700 million.
also completely shattered Louis Koo’s dream of getting his money back.
"Kowloon Walled City" single-day box office exceeded 12 million, accounting for 18.2% of the film schedule.
overtook "Thelma and Louise" to win the title on weekdays, and the golden weekend market was overtaken. This means that "Kowloon Walled City" has never had a box office explosion period. The cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 416 million in the 10 days since its release. Will the final box office be able to do so? Breaking 700 million is a suspense?
What’s more important is that the production cost of the film exceeds 300 million, and the return on base is 900 million at the box office.
The Hong Kong market far exceeded expectations and is expected to hit 80 million Hong Kong dollars. Then the mainland market will only need to break 800 million Hong Kong dollars. Unfortunately, with the release of "War for the Planet of the Apes 4", "Thelma and Louise" made a strong return this weekend, "Kowloon" Walled City" has a very low probability of getting its money back.
