At present, the "epidemic" situation in Hong Kong, China is still quite serious. Although many theaters have launched many discount activities, it is difficult to attract enough audiences to enter the market, and the market continues to operate at a low level. In terms of opening films last week, three new films squeezed into the top ten weekend box offices, among which the Hollywood horror film "Invisible Man" opened the film and won the box office of more than HK$2 million, easily winning the weekend box office championship. The live-action animation of Hejiahuan "Sonic the Hedgehog" has been stable the next week, relegated to the second place on the weekend. Taiwan's sports-themed film "The Second Half" also opened more than HK$500,000, ranking third on the weekend list. The new action film " Gentlemen " directed by Guy Ritchie ranked fourth, while "Harley Quinn" still ranked in the top five.
The horror suspense film "Invisible Man" released by the world simultaneously launched paintings in Hong Kong in North America last Thursday. After winning the championship on the first day, it expanded to 56 theaters on the weekend and released 310 shows every day on the weekend, with an average of 29 people recording a relatively good performance, which is much higher than the previous week's "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "The Gentlemen". The new film produced by Blumhouse won HK$550,000 on Sunday, more than 150% higher than runner-up "Sonic the Hedgehog". The film started painting in Hong Kong and earned HK$2.02 million in four days, winning the weekend championship with confidence. "Invisible Man" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Herbert George Wells . The original work is hailed as a masterpiece describing the opposition between mad scientists and society. This film is also a remake of the 1933 film version. The film, which invested only $7 million, was launched in North America last week, and Rotten Tomatoes received a 90% praise rate, which is well received. The new Hollywood film "Sonic the Hedgehog" released by Zhouli remained in 54 theaters the following weekend, and the number of screenings on the weekend was cut to about 200 games, and the average attendance average also dropped to a poor level of 16 people, and its trend continued to be affected by the "epidemic". The film adapted from the famous game IP of , Sega Company, , shrunk to HK$220,000 on Sunday, a year-on-year decline of nearly 50%. This film, produced by combining live-action and CG, only received HK$2.46 million in total on 11 days of release, and its performance is far inferior to last year's game theme " Detective Pikachu " (which has accumulated HK$18 million in total in two weeks), and is much lower than "Biderabbit" released in the same period two years ago. Fortunately, the film performed well in some markets in North America and Europe, and its cumulative global box office has reached US$273 million, and it has easily recovered its costs. The Taiwanese film "The Second Half" released by Zhouli was launched in Hong Kong theaters last Thursday. It started a large-scale film in 38 theaters on the first weekend, and more than 140 screenings were shown every day on the weekend, with an average of only slightly higher than the old film "Sonic the Hedgehog", reflecting that its audience is relatively narrow. The basketball-themed film directed by Zhang Rongji, director of "Flying Against the Sky", had the highest box office of less than HK$200,000 a day after the start of the painting, and the results were very dull; however, its box office on Sunday fell slightly compared with Saturday, showing a certain "word of mouth effect". The story of "The Second Half" tells the story of two brothers who once depended on each other. They were discovered by the basketball coach in a street bullfight, and their lives changed. They reunited at the HBL Championship the next year, and their former brothers became hostile parties. The entire film cost NT$80 million (about NT$18.5 million), but in the end, it only earned NT$22.7 million on the island, which can be said to be a loss of money. The crime action film "Gentlemen" released by Double Happiness remained released in 52 theaters the following weekend, with nearly 140 screenings every day on the weekend. It is estimated that the box office on Sunday reached HK$130,000, which is about half the decline from the opening Sunday. The film directed and written by Guy Rich took action scenes as its selling point and attracted certain action movie fans. The final 11 days of its release has accumulated a total box office of HK$2.07 million, which is reflected in the current market background. "Gentlemen" Hong Kong's final box office may not be expected to hit HK$3 million, but its cumulative global box office has easily exceeded US$100 million, and it has basically recovered. The French film "Translation Suspicion" released by
, which was released in 37 theaters in the first week, was screened about 110 times a day on the weekend, and averaged less than 15 people per game.This suspense-themed film also received only HK$100,000 on Saturday, and only HK$330,000 in four days of painting, failing to squeeze into the top five weekends. The film tells the story of nine translators from all over the world who were hired to translate the last episode of a best-selling novel trilogy. They were locked in a luxurious but heavily guarded dormitory to perform translation work. However, the first ten pages of the top-secret manuscript suddenly leaked online, and the leaked secret was one of the translators. It is initially estimated that the final box office of the film will be difficult to exceed HK$1 million.
old films are also lacking in good terms. The new DC work "Harley Quinn: Raptors " released by Warner remained at 110 screenings in 45 theaters over the weekend, with the average attendance dropping to about 15 people. The new "DCEU" work with "The Joker" Harley Quinn as the selling point was released and the cumulative box office was only HK$12.53 million in 25 days, and its final landing point is expected to be around HK$13 million. The number of screenings of the Korean movie "Warcloset" released by
Anle on the weekend is close to that of "Harley Quinn", and it collected another nearly 700,000 Hong Kong dollars in seven days, down nearly 20% from the first week of opening the painting. The "Walking with God" series starring Ha Zhengyu has only collected HK$1.55 million in 11 days of release, and may eventually hit the 2 million mark.
, Anle released the Oscar best film "Parasite" more than 50 more screenings on Sunday, still ranked among the top ten weekends. The cumulative box office of the second round of re-screening has reached HK$1.98 million, about to exceed HK$2 million. Another Korean film " Secret Zoo " on the list decreased by one third, and the cumulative box office of 18 days has exceeded HK$2.5 million.
