This summer, the mainland film market ushered in a fierce box office battle, and a film called "All or Nothing" successfully won the crown at the last moment. As of 21:30 on August 31, the single-day box office once again surpassed the competitor "Disappearing Her", which amazed the audience. This championship battle can be described as suspenseful, and the box office gap between the two films is unbelievably weak.
By 21 o'clock on August 31, the top three single-day box office in the mainland were "All or Nothing", "Oppenheimer" and "Learning Dad". "All or Nothing" regained the single-day box office championship by a narrow margin, accounting for 28.3% of the films. The film was released in only 24 days, but the cumulative box office has exceeded 3.524 billion, successfully surpassing Chen Sicheng's "Disappearing Her", which had a box office score of 3.523 billion, and finally, "All or Nothing" won the 2023 summer championship.
August 31 marked the end of the summer file, and the total box office exceeded 20.6 billion, setting the best result in film history. Although there are no super blockbusters like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Nezha's Demon Child Descends", there are two new films with a box office level of 3 billion "Desperate" and "Disappearing Her", as well as two new films of 2 billion level such as "Feng Shen" and "In the Octagon Cage", making this year's summer file more balanced.
This is also the smallest gap between the top and second place at the summer box office in recent years. Last year, the box office of the champion "Alone on the Moon" was 3.1 billion, while the runner-up "Life Events" only had 1.7 billion, a gap of nearly double. Interestingly, last year's runner-up was also a movie starring Zhu Yilong, which was overtaken by other films in the second half of the summer file, and this is the second time that Zhu Yilong has lost the summer box office champion.
As of August 31, the top ten movies at this year's summer box office are "Desperate", "Disappearing Her", "Feng Shen", "In the Octagon Cage", "Chang'an 30,000 Li", "Warm", "Megalodon 2", "Transformers 7", "School Dad" and "I Love You". The themes of these films are different, covering suspense, crime, fantasy, animation, action, monsters, comedy and other genres, showing that the tastes of mainland audiences are very diverse, but Hollywood movies seem to have encountered a lot of difficulties in this summer season.
