Only 420,000, the new film Korean box office setback, Jackie Chan's overseas influence collapsed?

After struggling in theaters for nearly two months, "Dragon Horse Spirit" chose to go online.

"Dragon Horse Spirit", which has been withdrawn for a long time in 2023, is finally released, although the Douban score is only 5.7 points, but this is already the best reputation of Jackie Chan movies in 6 years after "British Showdown" in 2017, it sounds a little sad, but Big Brother's movie does not seem to be able to return to the past whether it is word of mouth or box office.

It is useless to invite Wu Jing to make a cameo, and the final box office of "Dragon Horse Spirit" in the mainland is only 210 million.

"Dragon Horse Spirit" was released on April 7, originally it should have been released on May 7, but the movie chose to postpone the release to June 7, but unfortunately there are too many Hollywood blockbusters recently, and the single-day box office of "Dragon Horse Spirit" has not picked up, and the movie finally chose to go online on the online platform in advance.

As of June 5, the single-day box office of "Dragon Horse Spirit" dropped to 75 yuan, with the launch of the online version, "Dragon Horse Spirit" is actually in the theater line, and its final box office is also fixed at 210 million, this result is not outstanding, after all, the big brother's "Pioneer" with a poor reputation in recent years also has a box office of 294 million, and "Blood of the Machine", which was complained of as the big bad film of the year, also has a box office of 305 million.

This time, "Dragon Horse Spirit" also invited Wu Jing to make a cameo, which is the first collaboration between two generations of kung fu superstars.

This gimmick has been hyped by the film party for a long time, and even from the poster, the audience thinks that Wu Jing is the starring actor, and Wu Jing cannot save the box office results of "Dragon Horse Spirit", in fact, for fans, "Dragon Horse Spirit" is qualified or even excellent.

The movie can basically be regarded as Jackie Chan's semi-autobiographical work, using the mode of play within a play to connect the most classic movies of Jackie Chan's career, Easter eggs are a large amount of full, fans are very happy to watch, the father-daughter relationship of Liu Haocun in the film can also be regarded as an apology to the real Xiaolongnu.

Only 420,000, the new film Korean box office setback, a leaf knows the autumn, Jackie Chan's overseas influence collapsed?

According to network news, the production cost of "Dragon Horse Spirit" is between 200 million and 300 million, and it is extremely difficult for the film to return to the book with the current box office results, and the reason why Jackie Chan has made one and lost one in recent years, but the film contract continues because the film company believes in the overseas influence of Jackie Chan's big brother.

But it's a little embarrassing that "Dragon Horse Spirit" has set a new low at Jackie Chan's overseas box office in recent years.

At present, the box office of "Malaysia" in the released market is 1.9 million US dollars, which is the largest overseas box office of the film, and the box office of "Indonesia" is 995,000 US dollars, which is the second largest overseas box office of the film, and the remaining overseas markets have not exceeded one million US dollars.

"Ryoma Spirit" premiered in the Korean market on May 31, and fans thought they could achieve good results.

South Korea used to be a benchmark market that proved Jackie Chan's overseas influence, and the Korean audience's enthusiasm for Jackie Chan was no less than that of Japanese audiences, and in 2018, Koreans voted their favorite action actor, and Jackie Chan ranked first! In terms of box office results, "Drunken Fist" starring Jackie Chan in 1978 broke the record in Korean film history! In 1980, "Junior Brother Out of the Horse", "Laughing Boxing Tricks" and "Killer Trench" all broke into the top ten of the Korean annual box office!

This kind of influence is beyond the reach of local stars.

Although it did not have such a strong dominance later, for a long time, Jackie Chan movies entered the top 20 of the Korean annual box office very easily.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Jackie Chan's influence has become lower and lower.

As of June 4, "Dragon Horse Spirit" was released in South Korea for 5 days, and the cumulative box office was only 78.83 million won, that is, 420,000 yuan!

42 years ago, the record in film history was broken, and the box office of the new film was only 420,000, and the change from South Korea, Jackie Chan's most important overseas box office, may reflect the collapse of Jackie Chan's overseas influence.

Of course, this situation is partly due to Jackie Chan in recent years to focus on Chinese films, Chinese films compared to the Hong Kong film era, overseas distribution capacity is actually declining, then Jackie Chan "Kung Fu Dream 2", "Rush Hour 4" and other Hollywood blockbusters began to prepare, overseas influence is expected to be rebounded, but Jackie Chan is 69 years old, how many years can he make?

It's time for Chinese action movies to find a successor.
