2 European and American blockbusters are about to be released, I want to say: whether Hollywood can do it or not, it depends on these 2
I don't know if you found out.
Suddenly, European and American blockbusters don't seem to be very good in the domestic film market.
At one time, there were few European and American blockbusters released a year, but they often won the box office championship. However, now that you look at it, the number of European and American blockbusters released in China throughout the year is also quite a lot, but there are very few that really sweep the domestic box office.
In the past two years, Hollywood's most proud sci-fi blockbuster, previously blown up "Dune", only got 253 million box office. James Cameron's "Avatar 2", which has countless supporters, is only 1.697 billion box office.
Today's European and American blockbusters often seem to be hot on the surface, but in fact they do not sell.
1: European and American blockbusters are not working?
The box office of European and American blockbusters is weak, and the box office results of domestic blockbusters have repeatedly reached new highs in recent years, and among the top 10 domestic film history, only "Avengers 4" is still in the city of suffering, and the rest are all domestic blockbusters.
Among them, "Changjin Lake" won 5.775 billion box office, "Wolf Warrior 2" won 5.694 billion box office, and 2 movies reached 10 billion votes, which was unthinkable before.
And in June 2023, the domestic blockbuster proved itself, Chen Sicheng supervised, Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni, Wen Yongshan starring "Disappearing Her" only through the Dragon Boat Festival, 12 days of release, got a box office score of 2.3 billion.
The European and American blockbuster "Indiana Jones: Wheel of Destiny" released at the same time got 16 million box office in 4 days.
The blown "The Flash 2" was released 18 days ago, and it was only 181 million at the box office.
The high-profile "Transformers: Rise of the Power Warriors" was released for 25 days, and it was almost released, and it was only 600 million at the box office, which made people lose their teeth. "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" was released for 32 days, but it was only 346 million box office.
Good guy, the domestic film market is very large, but it just doesn't give European and American films, you say this dares to think before?
Of course, in 2023, European and American films are not without hope. In this summer, the real summer season is here. There are also 2 European and American blockbusters that will be released in turn. Whether Hollywood can do it or not, whether it can turn over, depends on these 2!
These two films have once again broken the summer file, and I think that the ending of European and American blockbusters in the Chinese film market may be rewritten.
2: "Mission Impossible 7"
Yes, you read that right.
"Spy" is no longer sound, and the "007" series has no stamina. The "Mission Impossible" series, which has been released since 1996, is still very strong, not only the seventh part was filmed, but the eighth part is already on the way, and it is expected to be released next year.
Back then, the picture of these 3 European and American action blockbusters competing is still vividly remembered.
It is reported that "Mission Impossible 7: Fatal Reckoning" will land in domestic theaters on July 14, and fans who like the "Mission Impossible" series can focus on it. Take a look at whether Tom is still demeanor and tired.
Judging from the poster of "Mission Impossible 7", Tom seems to be still demeanor, spirited, and his skills are not reduced back then.
Come to think of it, Tom Cruise is also really powerful.
In the trailer, Tom still did not give up his pursuit of action scenes. Not only do you have to fight with real knives and guns, but also continue to challenge the limits and ride a motorcycle to an extreme high-altitude downhill.
Almost 30 years have passed, Tom is 60 years old and still flying.
Beauty, racing, fighting, all kinds of extreme actions, all kinds of high-tech tools, all kinds of explosive shots, have always been the standard of the "Mission Impossible" series, and it was once the Hollywood blockbuster style that the audience loved.
This "Mission Impossible 7" can be said to be a standard European and American blockbuster, according to the previous box office results, "Mission Impossible 6" in the domestic film market, in 2018 won 1.245 billion results, 5 years later, the series is surpassing the previous work, domestic audiences, whether to buy or not, we wait and see.
To be honest, the "Mission Impossible" series can be filmed for the seventh part, and Tom's efforts are worthy of recognition.
However, I would also like to ask. "Mission Impossible" can shoot the seventh part. Is the series really good, or is the Hollywood blockbuster without new output for a long time and exhausted?
I will not say much about this question, but I will leave it to you to answer.
3: "Megalodon 2"
Unlike "Mission Impossible 7", although "Megalodon" did not shoot 7 films, it is clear that he understands the Chinese market better. "Megalodon" has found Jason Statham and Li Bingbing to partner from the first part.
Of course, this is not the first invention of Megalodon. For a long time, although the focus of European and American blockbusters is Europe and the United States, some films will take the initiative to move closer to the domestic market and cater to the domestic audience by increasing the mode of cooperative shooting.
Among these films, there are examples of success, such as Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" series. Of course, there are many failures, such as Li Bingbing once starred in "Resident Evil". Chow Yun-fat also starred in "Dragon Ball", Nicolas Cage once collaborated with Liu Yifei in movies.
Of course, in fact, there is also this "Megalodon", in fact, don't look at the first box office is acceptable, the reputation is really average.
This time, Jason Statham came with "Megalodon 2: The Abyss", which will be released simultaneously in North America and China on August 4.
This "Megalodon 2: The Abyss" sees Wu Jing's position in the domestic film market, and directly finds Wu Jing, and the two want to join forces to have a tough guy drama, wanting to deeply embrace the Chinese market, which also looks menacing.
Jason Statham is very familiar to everyone, is a hot action actor in Hollywood, and domestic audiences have a love to describe him as "Guo Da Statham". Many of the Hollywood action movies he participated in are very classic, and there are still many audiences who take them out and watch them repeatedly.
Wu Jing, that's not to mention. When he debuted, he was an action actor, and in the minds of domestic audiences, he was also a familiar martial arts star. In particular, since Wu Jing directed and acted in the "Wolf Warrior" series, his personal popularity has skyrocketed.
In the past two years, after participating in "Changjin Lake" and "The Wandering Earth" one after another, Wu Jing's popularity continued to soar. Today, he seems to have become the level of the top domestic first-line actor, and his influence is close to Jackie Chan at his peak.
Jason Statham plus Wu Jing, two action actors teamed up, this "Megalodon 2" can be said to be full of highlights. Based on the popularity of these two actors alone, the box office seems to have been stable, and there is no need to worry at all.
To be honest, "Megalodon" found Wu Jing and embraced the Chinese market so much, if this cannot achieve great success. I think that the ending of Hollywood blockbusters in the domestic film market, this time, may really be rewritten.
4: Say more
At this point, I think someone will definitely say!
European and American movies are not good?
Then there are a lot of domestic movies, right?
People have "Avatar 2", what do we have?
Yes, in recent years, the quality of films in the global film market is indeed somewhat average, and the quality of domestic films is also uneven.
They have "Avatar 2", but we also have "The Wandering Earth 2", they can shoot "Avatar", no matter how good it is, but they can't always shoot Chinese stories, the Chinese film market is no longer what it used to be, and the audience's aesthetics have been greatly improved.
For another example, in the early years, we were all worried that the domestic drama "Three-Body Problem" would rot, and now the domestic sci-fi people have not filmed it? Isn't Yu Hewei's version of "The Three-Body Problem" also very good-looking! Even grand hardcore sci-fi like "The Three-Body Problem" can be controlled, let's not be presumptuous.
Give domestic movies some time, and there will definitely be many surprises!
Would you go to see these two Hollywood blockbusters?
