Slam Dunk is so raw.
Before its release, many viewers guessed that the mainland box office of "Slam Dunk" will be good, but the box office will not be too outrageous, this Japanese cartoon was released overseas as early as December 2022, Chinese mainland the market is almost half a year late, generally speaking, the impact on the box office is great, especially fans will definitely watch it early on the network, if the quality is not good, they will not go to the cinema to make up tickets.
But Slam Dunk is really different!
The box office broke 71.31 million in 7 hours! Jackie Chan and Wu Jing couldn't suppress it, and "Slam Dunk" premiered and won the championship!
On April 20, "Slam Dunk" premiered in the mainland, and in the face of the cold market environment, the film achieved a dominant position.
As of 7 o'clock on April 20, "Slam Dunk" won the box office championship as soon as it was released, accounting for 53.3% of the films, and the box office on the first day was 49.03 million, plus the box office of 20 million in the zero point field, "Slam Dunk" broke through 71.31 million at the box office in just 7 hours of release!
The box office accounted for 95.9%, which means that the mainland market on April 20 is a big cake, and the movie "Slam Dunk" ate a share of 9.5%. This makes the box office results of new films in the same period miserable.
Jackie Chan plus Wu Jing's "Dragon Horse Spirit" originally thought that it could withstand for a while.
As of 7 o'clock on April 20, "Dragon Horse Spirit" had a single-day box office of only 193,000, accounting for only 0.3% of the box office with 9.2% of the rankings, and the attendance rate was crushed by "Slam Dunk" in the true sense, and it can be seen that the combination of kung fu superstars such as Jackie Chan and Wu Jing can not suppress the outbreak of "Slam Dunk" at all.
According to the current trend, the follow-up box office of "Dragon Horse Spirit" will be directly cut off by "Slam Dunk", with a cumulative box office of 171 million in 14 days of release, this achievement is completely impossible to cover the production cost of 200 million, for Jackie Chan, "Detective Pu Songling", "Blood of the Machine", "Pioneer", etc., has been a succession of blockbusters to the street, the king of kung fu should change, otherwise the audience will really abandon.
For Wu Jing, even if it is a cameo, I am afraid that it is necessary to be cautious after the cameo, "Chinese Table Tennis" and "Dragon Horse Spirit" are on the street, indicating that the audience is not blindly respecting Wu Jing, only good movies plus Wu Jing have box office appeal, not a single Wu Jing can make the audience pay.
Douban 9.2 points, "Slam Dunk" predicts that the box office will break 1 billion, and the new film on May 1st will worry.
The plot of "Slam Dunk" is actually nothing to say, and this kind of fan-oriented filmmaking and feelings is the biggest selling point.
As many fans and viewers said, they have long known the ending of Xiangbei vs. the Mountain King, but the rhythm of the movie, the tension of basketball, and the background music are all hit in the hearts of the audience, and before the release, they are worried that the style of the movie version is a little different, whether the audience accepts it.
Now it seems that this worry is superfluous.
The movie scored 9.2 points on Douban, which is the highest among the new films in the mainland market this year, of course, this kind of movie with a heavy fan filter, the reputation will indeed be a little higher than the actual quality, according to the current trend "Slam Dunk" The probability of the mainland box office breaking 1 billion is very high.
The global box office of the film, including the local Japanese market, is 140 million US dollars, or 960 million yuan.
This means that the Chinese mainland market is very likely to surpass the entire overseas market and become the largest box office of the film. It can only be said that the influence of Japanese culture is indeed very high, this year's mainland film market import film champion "Lingya Journey" has just broken Japan's box office record in China with a box office of 758 million, and I am afraid that this record will be broken by "Slam Dunk" in less than a month.
This year's "Super Mario Bros. Movie", which is calling for wind and rain in overseas markets, has now exceeded 716 million US dollars at the global box office, surpassing "Manjiang Hong" to win the 2023 global box office champion, this cartoon is actually an adaptation of a classic console game of Japanese games.
Compared with Japan, domestic films still have a long way to go out.
"Slam Dunk" is not only miserable in the new films of the same period, but the new films that should be worried about most according to the current explosion momentum are the new films of May 1st.
This year's May 1st new films began to premiere on April 28, which is actually a week away from the schedule of "Slam Dunk", but the box office strength period of phenomenal movies is often as long as a month. Originally, the attention of this year's new film on May 1st was not enough, and the pre-sale box office was completely supported by "The King of the Long Sky".
At present, there are only 6 new films in May 1st that have exceeded one million at the pre-sale box office. The total pre-sale box office of the entire schedule was 47.24 million, of which "The King of the Long Sky" accounted for 31.79 million, which shows how low the popularity of the new film in the schedule is, in contrast, "Slam Dunk" became the finale blockbuster in April.
Most of the 17 new films in the May 1st file will probably become box office cannon fodder!
