's May 1st schedule this year is the strongest year for the lineup in recent years. Various types of films bloom and compete with each other. However, the final pattern is the 28 effect, that is, the first two films lead the box office market, and all the others are reduced to accompany.
And looking at all the movies in the entire schedule, the only ones that seem to be winners are " on the cliff with " and "Your Wedding". Although "Your Wedding" is still ahead of "Above the Cliff" in terms of cumulative box office, in terms of box office stamina, "Above the Cliff" completely crushes "Your Wedding".
On May 7th, the top box office leader was still the spy war blockbuster "Above the Cliff" directed by Zhang Yimou . The single-day box office was 37.43 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 640 million yuan.
And "Your Wedding" was obviously weak, and the single-day box office fell to 17.55 million. Although the single-day box office revenue has hit a new low, the cumulative box office of the film has reached 695 million in eight days of release. For now, it is still the highest-grossing film in the May 1st period.
May 7th box office ranking
and Hong Kong director Wang Jing 's new movie " chasing the tiger and capturing the dragon " has invited four Golden Image Award actor characters, but the audience does not seem to buy it.
On the 7th, the single-day box office of the movie "Chasing the Tiger and Capturing the Dragon" has dropped to less than 10 million yuan, only 9.25 million, ranking fourth in the single-day box office list. The film has been released for seven days, and the cumulative box office is only 181 million yuan.
Speaking of Wang Jing, I believe that many audiences are very familiar with it. In the 1980s and 1990s, he directed many excellent classic movies, such as " Gambler ", " Gambler ", " Lu Dingji ", etc. .And after 2010, it has also achieved quite good box office results with a number of sentimental films in the mainland. The more famous one is the " Macau Fengyun " series.
Although the "Macau Wind and Cloud" series has achieved very high box office results, the audience's evaluation is not high. Many people complain that Wang Jing has been using Hong Kong's classic movies to cook cold rice in the Mainland, and there is not much new idea. It was not until the release of " Chasing the Dragon " starring Andy Lau and Donnie Yen that Wang Jing regained a lot of reputation.
And this year's new movie "Chasing the Tiger and Capturing the Dragon" is also a cold meal. There was a very similar movie "Money Empire" that was also directed by Wang Jing. It is worth mentioning that Andy Lau's classic movie " Lei Luo Chuan " in the 1990s also tells the story in this regard. Therefore, it is reasonable to take this story to remake it now, which will inevitably make the audience have the disadvantage of aesthetic fatigue and , and the box office is not high.
In fact, Wang Jing should try to open up a new type of movie. Only by making the audience feel novel and surprising can the box office be prosperous. The remake of a classic movie does not mean that it is impossible, but it does not need so many.
