Chapter 210: A genre film that is easy to explode at the box office

If some people still think that Mecca's words have some truth and that Merry Christmas is likely to surpass the hero's true colors to win a new box office record, then with the daily box office statistics of Home Alone the next day, no one will believe Mecca's predictions anymore.

Because the gap is too big, the next day, that is, Christmas Day, the little ghost who won the box office of 6.5 million, only took two days to exceed 10 million at the box office, such a figure is more than 90% of the films produced by film companies The final box office dare not expect.

And it only took two days for the little ghost to be in charge.

Of course, with the passing of Christmas, the daily box office of Home Alone inevitably began to decline, and the decline was quite large, falling by 30%, but it still got a daily box office of more than 4 million, hundreds of thousands more than on the day of release.

The box office climbed to 15 million in three days, Qiao Feng silenced his peers again, and Mecca also became a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding from reporters and not showing up.

Here in Hong Kong, the box office of Home Alone has been steadily declining since the third day of release, because the Hong Kong side does not celebrate Christmas as a serious holiday after all.

It's not that Home Alone hasn't been affected by the end of Christmas in the United States, but firstly, Christmas is a really important holiday in the United States, which lasts longer, and secondly, because of the box office explosion of 24,25 days, especially on the 25th, it won more than 20 million box office in one day, they naturally have to increase their distribution efforts, use resources to fight for more films from the theater side for the little ghost master, and strive for more canvases, a thousand canvases is too little, how can they add another two or three hundred.

And the theater side and Twentieth Century Fox have the same idea, and they also want to add canvas and make films for Home Alone, so that they can also share more money.

In this way, although the attendance rate of Home Alone began to decline with the end of Christmas, because of the large increase in the canvas due to the film schedule, its box office is even higher.

Among all types of movies, comedy movies are the easiest box office hits, and they are also the genre with the strongest box office trends.

Especially before superhero films and special effects blockbusters did not appear much, although when superhero films and special effects blockbusters were rampant, comedy films were still a type that was easy to explode at the box office, but after all, the best ones at that time were already special effects blockbusters and various superhero films.

Of course, at that time, domestic movies in China were still dominated by comedies at the box office, such as the Embarrassment series, like a certain monster hunting movie, and like Xing Ye's Journey to the West.

And when it comes to returning to Hong Kong movies, it is even more so.

Since the seventies, except for a few films by Li Xiaolong, the vast majority of annual box office champions, and even the top ones, are almost all comedies.

Then 80 years after the rise of Hong Kong films, although Cheng Long's junior brother seems to be kung fu, everyone knows that Cheng Long's kung fu is a kung fu comedy, witty fights, to put it bluntly, one side is a fight for life and half is a comedy.

Throughout the golden decade of Hong Kong films, in addition to the God of Gamblers series, there are many comedy elements here, except for the true character of the hero, the rest are all comedies without exception.

From the cold-faced joker Xu Guanwen, the Xu brothers to Cheng Long's kung fu comedy, and then to the nonsensical comedy of Xing Ye, it is all a type of comedy.

There is also Hung Jinbao's Fuxing series, which is also a comedy.

Why has the New Arts City been able to flourish for ten years, almost along with the glorious decline of Hong Kong films' golden decade? It is all because they adhere to the production policy of comedy films as the fundamental.

This is also true in the United States and in Hollywood, where almost one-third of the top ten box office lists are made every year, and sometimes one-half of them are comedies.

Originally, on December 5th, there was an action comedy film released in the United States, and this film will naturally not be an action comedy like Jackie Chan, because this is a police movie, so it is called an action movie, but more highlights are comedy factors.

This film is about Xel Foley, the toughest police officer in Detroit, who never plays his cards according to common sense when he handles crimes, not only criminals find it difficult to deal with him, but even the bosses in the police department are worried about him all day long. After Forley once again asserts his claim and attempts to single-handedly wipe out a gang of drug dealers, his boss finally has to ban him and threaten to expel him.

Just when Forley is depressed about this, his friend Mike, who has just been released from prison, comes to his residence to look for him. Mike and Representative Foley grew up together, but were sentenced to prison for theft a few years ago, and this time Mike brought a stack of German bonds worth 20,000 marks, claiming that he had been fired from a high-end gallery in Beverly Hills, but had been fired not long ago. Forlì wonders about this, and that same night, Michael is murdered in front of his home.

According to the police's investigation, Mike was a veteran drug dealer and that he was killed on Foley's doorstep, and for these reasons, his boss, Todd, strictly forbade Foley from interfering in the case. Enraged, Foley has a hunch that Mike's death must have something directly related to the gallery he worked for, so he immediately takes leave of absence from his boss Todd and heads straight to Beverly Hills under the pretext of a vacation to try to find the killer himself.

Representative Foley's good friend Jenny also runs a gallery in Beverly Hills, and she introduced Mike to her work. Victor, the gallerist where Mike works, is known as one of America's top art dealers. Therefore, Foley's suspicion of Victor seems a little strange to Jenny. But when Representative takes Jenny to sneak into Victor's art-keeping warehouse and sees a large amount of German bonds hidden in a painting box, she decides to help Forlì find the real culprit.

The ending, of course, ends with black cops bringing the bad guys to justice.

The story is very old-fashioned, but I have to say that this film makes the old-fashioned story new, and American-style jokes abound, American audiences are very convinced, and the box office of the film has also risen all the way.

Originally, many people in the United States were optimistic that this film would win the annual box office championship, but they didn't expect a little ghost to pop up suddenly.

The trend of this film is much more fierce than that of the wonderful detective.
