has 9 new films released on Friday, plus 3 new films on Saturday, has a total of 12 new films released this weekend. Obviously they all want to catch the last train of the summer season, but not every film can catch it. Although
has the blessing of 9 new films, the box office for the whole day is only a little over 150 million. In addition, there are many old films, so naturally the box office allocated to each new film is extremely limited.
can be seen, among which , "Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Star" , "Alien: Death Ship", "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Match" are all well-known. IP works, but the box office performance is quite different.
"Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Star" "Alien: Death Ship" ranked among the top two in the single-day box office, but even so, the box office of both films did not exceed 50 million. The "A Dream of Red Mansions" is even more disastrous. The box office on the first day was less than 3 million. And this plus the box office of previous screenings, the box office on the first day was actually less than 2 million.
The Conan series will have new films to meet the public every year. This IP has a fixed fan base, and naturally it has a certain guarantee at the box office. Although there are no big hits, it is not too bad in comparison. Now the final box office of this movie is around 300 million.
"Alien" ip's new film "Alien: Death Ship", this time it focuses on an "uncut", the original version is directly introduced, and it also marks "underage viewers choose to watch carefully", which undoubtedly improves the audience's viewing experience Film enthusiasm. Although the box office performance on the first day was average, the viewing effect was good, and it is still expected to achieve continued box office growth in the future.
Since the first movie of the series came out in 1979, this IP has gone through more than 40 years. In addition to the main sequel, there are also spin-offs and prequels. The most recent film was "Alien: Covenant" in 2017, which grossed 311 million US dollars at the box office in the mainland and 238 million US dollars globally. The highest-grossing series in the series is "Prometheus", with a box office of 223 million US dollars in the mainland and a box office of 434 million US dollars globally.
Now the mainland box office of "Alien: Death Ship" is expected to exceed 200 million. The story of this film takes place between the first and second parts. Of course, the entire image style and story structure are basically the same. The scale is already astonishing, so there is a reminder that "underage viewers should choose to watch with caution". Not only are classic violent and bloody famous scenes reappeared, but also new famous scenes are born.
The first-day box office performance of "A Dream of Red Mansions" was disastrous, which is not surprising. After all, there are serious problems in distribution. Only 5% of the films were scheduled for the first day. Coupled with the timing and the film's own problems, the box office of this film was so dismal. Judging from word-of-mouth performance, it is not optimistic either.
At the previous premiere, director Hu Mei had already announced that she would be leaving the country on the 17th, so it was entirely up to everyone to determine the box office performance of this film. She said " You can take whatever box-office movie you like. Let it go. Anyway, I have been worthy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" for the past 18 years. "
This is obviously a bad gesture.
As expected, the box office performance on the first day is really a mess.
After eighteen years of sharpening her sword, Hu Mei finally fulfilled her wish. She also wanted to use this movie to let young people return to their desks to watch "A Dream of Red Mansions". Obviously, her wish was shattered.
Regarding Hu Mei's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", controversy has continued even before it was released.
First there was controversy over the title, then there was controversy over the trailer, and of course there was controversy over the casting.
Regarding the adaptation of the classic "A Dream of Red Mansions", Li Shaohong 's drama version has long been overturned. Since then, except for the small-scale drama version of "A Dream of Red Mansions", there have been no other film and television works. After all, the difficulty and pressure are there, and most people naturally dare not get involved easily. Hu Mei had already started trying. She originally planned to make a trilogy, but in the end due to various reasons, she only made one. In fact, the filming was completed as early as 2019, but it has not been released until now, and it even went through a schedule change before that.
But it is obviously not a problem of the schedule, but a problem of the film itself.
From the plot content to the performance of the actors, the film does have certain innovations, but it is more disappointing.
Douban hot reviews are all negative reviews, ruining the classic in the eyes of the public.
So the current box office performance is not surprising.
Another new film that has attracted much attention is "Rebirth", which is a crime-themed film. The film brings together two great movie stars, Nick Cheung Ka-fai and Ethan Ruan, . However, it is obvious that the whole plot is not new. In today's film, it is thought that It's impossible to get a higher box office. The previous genre film " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " set a good example and achieved a good box office. Such films are obviously worth learning from.
The 2024 summer season has come to an end. Although there has been a cluster of films again, there will be a large number of new films released next. But no matter when, the quality of the film itself is king. Without quality guarantee, it is increasingly difficult to achieve high box office.
