The first month of the year is one of the lightest months in the film market of the year, because it is sandwiched between the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival. The current film market is very sluggish, the daily box office market continues to decline, and it is too difficult for the movies in the film to receive the box office, so if it can collect tens of millions of box office now, it is at least equivalent to the volume of hundreds of millions of box office in other hot months.
Although many movies in the blockbuster movies have made the filmmakers bitter, many people have achieved good results. For example, "Love" broke 590 million at the box office, and "Ip Man 4" broke 1.06 billion at the box office. In terms of imported films, a small-budget film has also become a dark horse, which is the new film "Shark Sea Escape" starring Stallone's daughter. The film sold more than 30 million in the sluggish market, and its box office was more than twice that of the Dwayne Johnson blockbuster "Fight for Home" in the same period, and Histini Stallone really had superstar potential.
Shark Escape is directed by Johannes Roberts and starring Sophie Nellis, Colleen Fox, Brian Ju and Sistine Stallone. The film tells the story of four teenage girls diving to explore a submerged Mayan city, but when they enter the interior, they find that the sunken ruins are the hunting ground of the deadly great white shark. At this time, their mood changes from excitement to panic, and as their oxygen supply gradually decreases, they must find a way out of the water prison in the intricate and claustrophobic caves and eerie tunnels under the water.
Although "Shark Sea Escape" is an underwater adventure movie with a clichéd plot, it is still a good experience if it is only seen as a popcorn movie. And the film is only a small-budget film, with an investment of only $12 million, this film is british,so the quality of the film is certainly not comparable to the American blockbuster. But don't really say, although it is only a network movie production level, the director still shoots a look, and the horror atmosphere of the film is very good.
"Shark Sea Escape" achieved great results in North America last summer, selling $22.26 million at the box office, but unfortunately the box office in other markets is a bit dumb, otherwise the filmmakers can definitely make a lot of money. As of last Sunday (January 13), the global box office closed at $34.2 million, which is just enough to recover the cost, investors can only make money by selling a little more at the mainland box office. Several of the film's leading actors are newcomers who have no fame and influence, and it is honest to be able to hand over this report card.
"Shark Sea Escape" was postponed for nearly half a year to be released in the mainland, which still has a greater impact on its box office, and it is not lucky to meet the downturn in the market. But even so, it still received a good box office, and today it received 3.16 million (as of 22:50), ranking fifth, with a total of 31.25 million yuan in 5 days of release. According to this momentum trend, the final box office broke through 60 million should be no problem, and another imported film turned a profit with the big sale of the mainland ticket warehouse.
"Shark Sea Escape" has a general reputation in the mainland, douban is only 5.2 points, but this does not affect its wild box office. This kind of movie is indeed a bit immune to word of mouth, because its audience is relatively special, and several heroines in the film are high-value, and the quality of the film is so-so, so it can still attract many audiences to the scene. The box office sold more than 31.25 million in the 5 days of release in the mainland, and stallone's daughter's new film exploded, and it really had the style of the father.
If from the plot of the film, the story of the director and screenwriter is not new, and there is a strong smell of imitation, which may also be one of the reasons why it has hit the box office outside of North America. The film can not see who is the real heroine for a long time, the roles of several girls are relatively average, but as the story deepens, many characters die one by one, and then the hidden female no. 1 protagonist shines, and finally even the sharks are easily defeated by her, and then everyone on the ship is shocked by her.
