"In the Octagon Cage" reversed the fall, breaking 560 million in 2 days, and will surpass "Transformers 7" to win the runner-up in the summer file
On Friday, July 7, only one new film "Soul Radio" premiered in the mainland film market.
In normal times, new films are generally released on Fridays, which is very likely to cover the weekend schedule, but the main audience of the summer file is students, and they do not have weekday restrictions, so the new film is not so fixed. For example, "In the Octagon Cage" and "Drug Sweep 3" were released on Thursday, and "Chang'an 30,000 Li" was released on Saturday, and only this small-cost horror film "Soul Radio" premiered on Friday, which was originally prime time.
For the head blockbuster did not produce any box office impact.

"Disappearing Her" won the championship for 17 consecutive days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 2.85 billion! Soon to enter the top 15 in movie history!
As of 22 o'clock on July 7, the box office of "Disappearing Her" exceeded 87.26 million in a single day, the proportion of films dropped to 38.1%, and the proportion of box office also fell to 39.6%, which shows that the release of the two blockbusters "In the Octagon Cage" and "Drug Sweep 3" still has a big impact on "Disappearing Her". However, "Disappearing Her" still held the throne of the Japanese crown and won the Japanese crown for 17 consecutive days.
At present, the cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 2.85 billion, and according to the current trend, the movie will usher in a small climax this weekend.
Even this weekend's cumulative box office is expected to hit 3.1 billion, or will continue to surpass "Captain China", "Walking on the Moon", "Eight Hundred" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine", entering the top 15 box office in Chinese film history, because the release of "Octagonal Cage" and "Drug Sweep 3" did not make the box office of "Disappearing Her" plunge, and the final box office prediction of "Disappearing Her" on the ticket-buying platform has risen to 3.4 billion.
It is expected that the box office advantage of "Gone Her" will continue until the release of "Mission Impossible 7".
However, I have a bold conjecture, this year mainland audiences really have aesthetic fatigue with Hollywood blockbusters, "Mission Impossible 7" in the mainland publicity is almost nothing, a little abandonment of the mainland market meaning, if "Mission Impossible 7" still failed to stop "Disappearing Her", then the final box office of the film is likely to impact 4 billion, or even surpass "The Wandering Earth 2", into the top ten in film history?
"In the Octagon Cage" reversed the fall, breaking 560 million in 2 days, and will surpass "Transformers 7" to win the summer runner-up.
Wang Baoqiang's self-directed and self-acted "In the Octagon" has a faint tendency to copy the trend of "Disappearing Her"!
As of the 22 o'clock on July 7, the second day of the release of "Octagon Cage", the single-day box office broke through 76.2 million, and is rapidly closing the box office gap with "Disappearing Her", you must know that the proportion of film scheduling is 26%, but the box office proportion is 34.6%, and the output ratio of box office films has exceeded "Disappearing Her", and the attendance rate is the first of new films in the same period!
Wang Baoqiang did fight a turnaround battle this time.
The Douban score is 7.6 and the ticketing platform is 9.5 points, both of which are the highest domestic films in the summer file. The cumulative box office in 2 days of release has exceeded 560 million, and it is expected to surpass the 630 million box office of "Transformers 7" this week and win the runner-up of this year's summer box office.
At present, the final prediction of the box office of "In the Octagon Cage" by the ticketing platform is 1 billion.
But in my opinion, the movie definitely has the potential to impact 1.5 billion, from July 3rd to July 7th, the single-day box office of the film is falling in a single day every day, and it is even expected to win the championship of "Disappearing Her" this weekend, in recent years, Wang Baoqiang has not had many works, and has been surpassed by rising stars such as Yi Yangqianxi and Li Chen on the personal box office list, but "In the Octagon" exceeded expectations.
Wang Baoqiang's personal box office is also expected to rise from 17.6 billion to more than 18 billion, surpassing Li Chen to enter the seventh place in the actor's personal box office list!
Xuezang was released only 7 years ago, and the box office on the first day was only 40,000, and this domestic bad film was beaten miserably by Chen Sicheng!
As of 22 o'clock on July 7, "Drug Sweep 3" was suppressed by Wang Baoqiang and Chen Sicheng, and the box office in a single day was only 41.27 million, which was obviously left behind. The proportion of films rose to 25.5%, but the box office accounted for only 18.7%, and the attendance rate was even less than half of "In the Octagon".
On the first day of the film's release, only 11.9% of the films were scheduled, which was questioned by many Hong Kong film fans about the unfairness of the theater line.
In fact, that's because "Drug Sweep 3" was released at 18 o'clock on July 6, and "Disappearing Her" and "In the Octagon Cage" were released at zero o'clock, although "Drug Sweep 3" has fewer films, but occupies the golden field, and there is not much disadvantage, on July 7, "Drug Sweep 3" and "In the Octagon Cage" account for almost the same proportion of films, but the single-day box office has opened a gap of nearly double, it can be seen that the box office is not good is that the audience does not pay!
At present, the cumulative box office of "Drug Sweep 3" in 2 days is only 88.39 million, and the final box office is expected to be below 500 million, and the production cost of 300 million is probably a loss.
The star-studded "Drug Sweep 3" is so miserable, and "Soul Radio", which premiered on July 7, was even worse hit by Chen Sicheng's "Disappearing Her".
This bad film was filmed in 2016, once fixed, once wanted to be released on the Internet, and finally chose to be released in the summer file for 7 years, we all know that domestic horror films had a very glorious period, Yang Mi starring in "Far Cry" box office approaching 100 million, but the film production cost is less than 10 million, which makes domestic horror films flock up.
Many domestic horror films have made a lot of money in the summer. But these movies are all bad movies.
Let domestic horror films become synonymous with bad films, the audience no longer believes, in recent years "Soul Radio" has rarely been released in theaters, and it has changed into an online network to deceive another group of audiences. "Soul Radio" dares to come to the theater is really courageous.
The story of the movie is very simple, the heroine Namira is a popular anchor on the radio, and recently encountered various supernatural events, which made her face a mental breakdown, which eventually caused a tragic incident.
The ending of the story is not difficult to guess, domestic horror films will always become positive energy crime films, nothing more than psychosis, the so-called supernatural events are explained by twins, anyway, there can be no ghosts. Everything can be explained by science, what cannot be explained is an illusion.
As of 22 o'clock on July 7, the box office of the film on the first day was only 40,000. It seems that after a few years, mainland audiences still instinctively reject domestic horror films. Of course, this exclusion is right. Soul Radio sucks.
