In the Chinese-language film market, the Chinese New Year has always been a period of blockbuster films. However, this year's Lunar New Year stalls have encountered unprecedented challenges. "Aquaman 2", as a highly anticipated blockbuster, did not perform well at the box office and failed to break the billion threshold. At the same time, the competition for other new films is also extremely fierce, with 13 new films coming together to compete for market share.
Among the many new films, "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" has exceeded 288 million pre-sale box office, becoming the frontrunner. The film uses a fantasy love story as a selling point and attracts the attention of a large number of young viewers. And "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!" benefited from a large-scale early screening, with a pre-sale box office of 31.42 million.
In addition, "Taylor: Times Tour" exceeded the box office of 11.64 million in less than a day, showing strong market potential.
In comparison, the advance box office of "Stealth" is 9.65 million, which is considered a medium level. The action film starring Andy Lau, although it performed reasonably well at the box office, was a little flat compared to expectations. The pre-sale box office of "Do Not Disturb 3" was only 1.45 million, far below expectations. The film used to be one of the most anticipated Chinese New Year stalls, but now the box office is dismal, which raises questions about its reputation and audience appeal.
It is worth mentioning that the advance box office of the movie "Goldfinger" is 7.06 million. Although this number is not low, the audience does not seem to favor Tony Leung's choice. At the same time, "Stealth" has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and viewers with Andy Lau's selling point, which is in stark contrast to the promotional strategy of "Goldfinger".
One of the challenges facing the Hong Kong film industry in recent years is its over-reliance on veteran actors. This phenomenon restricts the development opportunities of young actors, and also makes the film market lack fresh blood and creativity. At the same time, the decline in the reputation of some veteran actors has also had a negative impact on the market. Tony Leung, for example, has been a disappointing figure in his work in recent years, and his behavior has caused a lot of controversy. Against this backdrop, it is questionable whether he will be able to maintain his reputation.
In the face of fierce market competition and ever-changing market demand, the film industry needs to continue to innovate and break through in order to maintain its vitality. Only in this way can we get better development opportunities in the highly competitive market. Although the competition is fierce, it also provides more choices and possibilities for the audience. It is believed that in the near future, the film industry will usher in a more prosperous and diversified era.
