Chapter 404 Summer Smoke, a Superstar Who Continues to Hit the Street!(The Third Update: Asking for a Subscription!Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
Time flies, June passed quickly, and gradually came to the summer file.
In the just-concluded June, the high-profile co-production blockbuster "Kung Fu Dream" was unaccustomed in the eyes of China, and only got 25 million mainland box office in the first 6 days of its release, reaching 5 million on the first day, and then falling all the way.
The box office is so low that many people's first reaction when they get this box office data is a statistical error.
After repeated confirmations, it can be said to have caused an uproar in the circle.
This is Cheng Long, the top actor in China, lower than the box office of Zhou Runfa's "Confucius"!
It's unbelievable and can't be helped, it's just the way it is.
This also made major companies re-examine the box office appeal of actors, even Cheng Long is like this, and how much appeal do others have.
In addition, several of the top stars of the Mesozoic Era have encountered Waterloo one after another, and the market of big-name actors has continued to be bearish for a while.
However, "Kung Fu Dream" exploded at the box office in North America, earning 55 million in the first three days of the first weekend.
This data is also Cheng Long's personal best opening result of 67 million in the first three days of the first weekend after "Rush Hour 2".
The film also surpassed another action blockbuster, "Agents of the Dragon," which was released at the same time, and went on to dominate the weekend box office of the week.
And the stamina of this movie is also good, not like the audience is fresh for a while.
As of today, June 30, it has been released in North America for 20 days, with a box office of nearly $140 million.
140 million US dollars, a Chinese-starred movie took 140 million US dollars in North America, and I am afraid that only Cheng Long can do it.
Judging from the current trend of the movie, it can reach at least 160 million, and it is not impossible to even hit 17 or 180 million.
The North American explosion, the pre-cooling of the mainland, and the mysterious data are unpredictable.
In addition to "Kung Fu Dream", the drama film "Ocean Paradise" starring another kung fu superstar, Li Lianjie, is also a big fight in the mainland.
5 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and 11 million at the box office in 12 days of release.
It's gone.
is mainly a matter of the movie itself and the subject matter, it is difficult for a kung fu superstar to act in this kind of film.
But the box office of 11 million is too incredible, to put it mildly, just find a movie and write the names of any of them Tang An, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang in the director's column, and it will be more than 11 million box office.
The spy war blockbuster "Spy Sea" starring Zhou Yunfa and Gong Li is also not high at the box office, and it has just exceeded 40 million in 12 days after its release.
The mysterious June, one after another hit the streets.
In June, another 3D blockbuster "Toy Story 3" did not perform well at the box office, with 32 million in the first 5 days and 70 million in 14 days of release.
Breaking 100 million should be stable, but compared to this series and the high level of 3D effect, it is still very low.
After all, "Alice in Wonderland", which is also a 3D animation blockbuster, has won more than 200 million box office.
Pseudo-3D still has a very bad impact on 3D movies!
Some other movies in the same period, "The Decisive Battle of Chama Town", "Zhiming and Chunjiao", "Ip Man Prequel", "Jingwumen 2" and so on have also hit the streets without exception.
After a small outbreak in April and May, June ushered in the biggest box office slump of the year.
It's like the calm before the storm, in order to welcome the more popular summer film market!
It's just that this year's summer file is much more disgraced than last year, with more Feng Xiaogang but less Tang An.
Moreover, there are almost no Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time, and the quality of domestic films is far inferior to last year.
On Thursday, July 1st, "Painted Skin 2" and "King of Guns" will be released at the same time!
On Friday, July 2, "Hip Travel" and "Unmanned Driving" were released.
On Friday, July 9th, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2" and "Yangtze River No. 7 Love Earth" were released.
On Thursday, July 22, "Tangshan Earthquake" was released.
On Friday, July 30, "My Beauty Boss" was released.
On Friday, August 6, "City on Alert" was released.
On Thursday, August 12, "Love Notice" was released.
On Friday, August 13th, "Deserted Village Apartment" was released.
On Monday, August 16, the Hollywood 3D animated blockbuster "Shrek 4" was released.
On Tuesday, August 24, "The Informant" was released.
There are only a few movies that can afford to drink soup, and there are even fewer films with potential to break 100 million.
Wednesday 30 June, 6 p.m.
The UME International Cinema Huaxing Store at the third ring road of Beijing has fired the first shot of the summer file, and tonight's magic blockbuster "Painted Skin 2" will hold its premiere ceremony in the IMAX theater here.
As a sequel to a blockbuster movie, and with the joint release of the two giants Berner and Guangxian, even if all the blockbusters starring the three protagonists hit the streets before this, it did not affect the prospects of the film.
In addition, only one "King of Guns" was released during the same period, and the theater gave "Painted Skin 2" 65% of the ultra-high first-day films, which is more than half of "The King of Guns".
This kind of typical Xiangjiang police and gangster film is almost a must-fight, if it weren't for the box office of "Eavesdropping" last year, it is estimated that 20% of the scheduled films would not be able to get it.
Tang An came to the cinema on time in the evening, along with Liu Ye, Tang Yan, and Chen Guozhang.
Tang An didn't walk the red carpet and walked straight into the screening hall.
Pang Hong has already arrived first, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhongjun...
Even Han Sanping, who was preparing for "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", was also present in person.
Tang An, as the host, said hello to the CEOs of various companies.
"Han Dong, you are also here, I heard that you are preparing for "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party"?"
"Luckily, filming will start in a month or two. Han Sanping smiled.
"Then I wish Han Dong a smooth shooting, and if you still need help this time, just say hello. Tang An smiled.
These words made Han Sanping puzzled, why was he so active, and he took the initiative to help.
Tang An can't help it, he owes Han Sanping a favor, of course he wants to pay it back as soon as possible.
It's easy to owe any debt, but no one wants to bear this debt of affection.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is a little better, if he is invited to film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" at that time, he will not be killed by those little fresh meats.
Rotten wood can't be carved, and Tang An can't help it.
However, Han Sanping has already found Li Shaohong to shoot the overseas part, and the war scene has found Shen Dong, the director who once directed the epic war blockbuster "On the Taihang Mountain".
Han Sanping said that he returned to the movie, and said with some concern, "This movie is of great significance, if it fails again..."
Tang An knew what Han Sanping meant, Chen Kun, Zou Xun, and Zhao Wei are now pointing to this movie and turning it over, if they also pounce, it will be basically difficult for these three Mesozoic actors to receive the starring commercial blockbusters.
After all, they've screwed up several commercial blockbusters in a row before.
Of course, you can also act in literary films.
But who would want to.
