"Sweep 3" is launched and is expected to be released in the summer of 2022.
Although the box office record of domestic films has stabilized in recent years, thanks to the increase in ticket prices and other reasons, the box office records of Hong Kong-style police films are constantly being refreshed. In 2018, the dark horse "Peerless" in the National Day file won 1.273 billion yuan at the box office, breaking the record of 1.116 billion yuan for "Macau Storm 3" in 2016. This record has been broken by the 1.312 billion yuan of "Anti-Drug 2" in the summer file of 2019 and the 1.314 billion yuan of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" in the 2020 New Year file. In addition, this year's summer "Fury Case", if there is no impact of the epidemic, may also create a box office performance of 1.2 billion+ yuan.
It can be said that 1.2 billion+ is already the limit of Hong Kong-style police films, and it is obvious that the goal of "Sweeping Drugs 3" is also this achievement. "Sweeping Drugs 3" is named "Sweeping Drugs 3 Days and Earth", but the Hong Kong titles of many Hong Kong films are not the same as those of the mainland, and the final title of the mainland film is still to be determined. Qiu Litao still serves as a director, starring Aaron Kwok, Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun and mainland actor Yang Caiyu. The film continues to be produced by Huanyu, and Herui Pictures, the distributor of the previous "Sweeping Drugs 2", has become the second producer with the new Human Guide Film Company, and Lianrui Pictures, which has successively released a number of blockbuster works, has become the third producer.
For police and gangster Hong Kong films, although it has certain "routine limitations", it has actually been favored by the market, and it is the absolute need of any schedule, and in recent years, "Anti-Corruption Storm 4", "Sweeping Drugs 2", "Apostle Walker 2" and even the cold period of "Crime Scene" have achieved extremely good box office results. Qiu Litao's last two police films "Sweeping Drugs 2" and "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" have a good reputation and box office performance, I believe that "Sweeping Drugs 3" can also continue to achieve 1 billion + box office results, at present, next year's summer file will be the best choice for this film.
In addition, director Qiu Litao is known for his "fast hands", in recent years, there have been two films in one year to advance, 2019 "Home and Everything Is Shocking", "The King of New Comedy", "Sweeping Drugs 2", 2020-2021 "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", "Touched Him 77 Times", and next year, in addition to "Sweeping Drugs 3", there are also the main theme action disaster film "Jedi Pursuit" produced by iQiyi Pictures, starring Ou Hao, Gu Jiacheng and Yu Haoming.
