However, with the addition of working days and a week since its release, the trend of "Catch a Baby" has obviously slowed down a lot. The single-day box office and attendance rate are a bit lower than those in the first week. There is definitely no problem in winning the summer championship, but it can Whether it will hit the first place in the annual box office has become a suspense.

Chen Sicheng joins forces with Wu Ershan, and Shen Teng faces the challenge of 4 more blockbusters!
With the single-day box office of "Catch a Baby" falling below 100 million, the film's final box office is also in doubt.
The biggest goal of "Catch a Baby" is definitely not the summer championship, but the annual box office No. 1 " Hot Hot ".
"Hot and Spicy" has an absolute advantage in terms of schedule. After all, the Spring Festival release is the most explosive in the whole year. "Catch a Baby" was released for 7 days, but it was screened for 3 days before, so it was actually released for 10 days.
During the same period, the 10-day box office of "Hot and Spicy" has exceeded 2.939 billion. The box office of "Catch a Baby" was only 1.654 billion, which is a huge gap.

This weekend will be the climax of this summer's summer season.
Chen Sicheng's " decrypted " will be screened in advance, Wu Ershan's " Under the Stranger" will premiere, and Marvel's emotional nuclear bomb " Deadpool and Wolverine " will be released simultaneously in China and the United States, plus there is a dark horse prospect. Zhang Ruoyun's " Safe Evacuation of from the 21st Century" also came to join in the fun and screen.
Shen Teng faces the challenge of 4 more blockbusters! It can be said that every film is not a good one.
According to the pre-sales situation, the pre-sale box office of "Deadpool and Wolverine" exceeded 7 million, "Under the Inhumans" has approached the 10 million mark, "Declassified" also sold 3.44 million, and "Safe Exit from the 21st Century" even It has sold nearly 9 million yuan and has a pretty good reputation.
