On November 19, the two new films "Door Lock" and "Railway Hero" were released on the same day, and it was thought that the box office would explode. Unexpectedly, "Railway Hero" did not exceed 50 million in two days, and after the slightly better "Door Lock" won the championship on the first day, it was instantly surpassed by the well-received "Fame and Fame" at the box office the next day!
So far, "Fame and Fortune" has the highest attendance rate, accounting for 10.8%, "Door Lock" has a 7.4% attendance rate, and "Railway Hero" has a 2.5% attendance rate, I am afraid that the overall situation has been decided.
"Door Lock" is adapted from the 2011 Spanish movie "When You Are Asleep" + 2018 South Korea's "Door Lock", due to the censorship system, criminals must not commit rape and murder excessively, and the people's police must also bravely save the two beautiful women at the end, so word of mouth has fallen into serious controversy.
This film invited to have starred in "33 Days of Lost Love" and "Get Out!" Bai Baihe, the "mainland box office queen" of "Tumor Jun", plus Wang Zixuan, a beautiful newcomer who played a "little godmother" in "River God" and attracted the attention of netizens, jointly performed the crime drama of women living alone, so it was very popular on the first day.
At present, the box office trend, over 100 million without any pressure, it depends on whether it can impact 200 million to 300 million.
Director Buick and producer Five Hundred, last year launched the spy war drama "Aiming", this year the two again cooperated "Door Lock" pure suspense thriller route, from Fan Chengcheng, Ma Yuke, Liu Huan and other men appeared, have suspected criminals, each time relying on sound effects and masked men in black attack, frequently causing a lot of thrills.
However, in a startled way at first, the more backward it seems to be single and boring, the beginning of the rhythm is out of order, the tension is unrestrained, Bai Baihe repeatedly escapes are seemingly casual and deliberate, and the villain of the white guest behind reveals the true face of Lushan, and there is no expected sense of surprise.
The villain's character background and motivation portrayal is weak, there are problems in the second half, the female number one transforms into a thunderbolt baby, the people's police shoot at a critical time to rescue, all appear to be unexpected surprises, plus the subtitles are very preachy, resulting in the current decline in word of mouth and attendance.
Zhang Hanyu, Fan Wei, Wei Chen, Zhou Ye, Yu Haoming starred in the anti-Japanese blockbuster "Railway Hero" in the second echelon of the single-day box office, the main competitor is still "Changjin Lake", but the next day the box office exceeded 20 million, or more than 100 million hope.
In the case of Zhang Hanyu's superficial and cool play, the undercover played by Fan Wei has become the biggest highlight. He is an undercover lao wang with a deep disguise and a thousand faces, which makes people shine. He is usually thick and simple, likes to tease the railroad man XiaoDouzi, give the young man good food and drink, let the other party call his father, all have emotional and delicate touching points.
Lincheng Zaozhuang's heroic "railway team" and rikou wrestled with wisdom and courage, except for Fan Wei's wonderful performance, just like the window steam printing to make a party emblem, everyone went to take the oath to join the party, and Andy Lau's final ending song, all of which were surprises.
At present, the word-of-mouth trend is acceptable, but the problem is that the gun battle is not fierce enough, and the plot twist is not subtle enough, so can the box office rush through 200 million? It still depends on the follow-up! There are rumors of investment of more than 300 million yuan in this film, although there are definitely false components, but from the perspective of the film, it must be at least more than 100 million investment!
The biggest winner of this week is undoubtedly "Fame and Fame", not only in which many sharp lines are impressive, but also with various metaphors, satires, hints, and can feel a lot of extraneous sounds. The satire of the impetuous film circle, the exposure of the indiscriminate killing of innocents by gangsters and high-ranking officials in the Republic of China, and the earth-shattering reversal are all impressive.
Originally high hopes of "007: No time to die" originally everyone thought that it could pass a billion, the result is currently breaking through 380 million, there is no staying power, has been far behind by "Fame and Fame", and even surpassed by "Mei Yanfang" and "Chosin Lake", which is also what everyone has not been able to think of.
It can be seen that if Hollywood blockbusters do not improve their own quality, it will become more and more difficult in the Chinese market in the future. I don't know if Spider-Man: Homeless will change that at the end of the year.
How much do you think "Door Lock" and "Railroad Hero" will eventually have at the box office? Do you think the quality of "Fame and Fame" is so strong? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
