"Assassination Storm" starring Gu Tianle, Wu Zhenyu and Zhang Zhilin did not have a good box office of only 51 million in the first week
Directed by Qiu Litao ("Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Drug Sweep 3"), "Assassination Storm" starring Gu Tianle, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Zhilin, Myolie Wu, Zhou Xiuna and others was released in Chinese mainland last Friday (18th)!
The film script is adapted from the suspense novel "Death Notice: The Darker". It mainly tells that the mysterious killer who pretends to be a "judge" openly provokes the police, issuing "death notices" one after another, and everyone who receives it will be brutally executed. In order to find out the truth, the witness to the explosion played by Gu Tianle, the policeman Luo Fei played by Zhang Zhilin, and the leader of the task force played by Wu Zhenyu have entered the game.
"Assassination Storm" only received 51.31 million yuan at the box office in the first week, which is a big gap with popular films such as "Desperate", "Learning Dad" and "The First Part of Fengsheng"! Among them, the first day accounted for 17%, and the harvest was 21.4 million yuan; 11% of the next day's films, harvesting 17.07 million yuan; On the third day, only 7.5% of the film was scheduled, and the box office also dropped to 12 million yuan. The box office is forecast to be 5.8 million today.
The reputation of "Assassination Storm" is also relatively average, with a Taobao score of 9.2, Maoyan score of only 8.6, and a Douban score of 6.5, with more than 13,000 ratings. Some viewers said that the style of the film is similar to "Detective Wars", the 80-point story only shot 60 points, and overall it will still be attracted by the plot, but it lacks some foreshadowing, and the narrative is not very smooth. Such a reputation is also difficult for the box office to have further performance, Maoyan predicts that the final box office of "Assassination Storm" will be 110 million yuan!
It is worth mentioning that in the Chinese mainland film market, Hong Kong films seem to have gradually lost their competitiveness. "Drug Sweep 3", released last month, had a final box office of 284 million, with a Douban score of 5.5. The previously released "Disconnected Network" had a box office of only 64.8 million, with a Douban score of 4.6; the box office of "Don't Call Me a God of Gamblers" was as low as 40 million, with a Douban score of 4.9. Therefore, many netizens complained: "The mainstays of Hong Kong films have been persistently making bad films and acting in bad films, and countless rough and perfunctory works have tormented audiences who love Hong Kong films again and again"! I sincerely hope that they can make some changes, otherwise they will lose these loyal fans.
