December has come to an end, and New Year's Eve has become the last carnival in 2023, and many movies have been announced to be released on New Year's Day. It is understood that there are 13 films that plan to meet the audience on New Year's Day this year, and the themes are also extremely rich, including crime, love, comedy and martial arts.
Crime-themed Hong Kong films are coming, and Andy Lau and Tony Leung are also friends and foes
On New Year's Day this year, a total of two action and crime-themed films were released, namely "Sneaking" on the 29th and "Goldfinger" on the 30th.
"Stealth" is directed by director Kwan Zhiyao, starring Andy Lau, Lin Jiadong and Peng Yuyan, etc., tells the story of a lawyer who is harmless to humans and animals on the surface is actually the mastermind behind drug trafficking.
The team of "Sneaking" is very luxurious, with Andy Lau, Lin Jiadong, Ren Dahua and Zheng Zeshi, four golden statue actors, as well as the joining of the golden statue actress Liu Yase. This film, which gathers many statue-level superstars, is naturally ambitious, and at present, the total box office of the film has reached nearly 15 million.
The luxury of the lineup of another film of the same genre "Goldfinger" is not far behind, not only the best director of the Academy Awards, Zhuang Wenqiang, but also Tony Leung and Andy Lau.
The release dates of "Stealth" and "Goldfinger" are adjacent, one starring Andy Lau, and the other is co-starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau. In this way, the two who were friends and enemies in the film "Infernal Affairs" in the past have now fallen into a similar situation.
Dapeng vs. Ge You, comedy films are indistinguishable
is scheduled to be released on the 29th of this month, and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" starring Dapeng and Bai Ke has begun to be screened, and the total box office of screenings and pre-sales has exceeded 50 million. A film about a little man who does a series of ridiculous things in order to keep his job quickly won the love of "migrant workers", and presumably the box office results can be good.
Another comedy-themed film in the New Year's Day file has a "great background", it is "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3", starring famous director Feng Xiaogang, starring international actor Ge You, and powerful actors such as Shu Qi, Fan Wei and Yao Chen. Familiar IP, familiar actors, but the box office results are not optimistic, and the total box office of screenings and pre-sales is currently less than 4 million.
In addition to the two theatrical comedy films, there is also a movie that will be released online on the 31st, called "Brother, Please Care". Since it is a big online movie, there is no box office pressure.
New and old films gathered, and the champion of the love theme has been released
This year's love-themed works not only have new films, but also old films. The new film is "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", which is far ahead of the total box office of screenings and pre-sales, and judging from the results of screening and pre-sale, this work is likely to become the champion of the New Year's Day file.
"Twinkle Star", which is scheduled for the 30th of this month, started pre-sale nearly a month in advance, although the box office results are good, but it is also very easy to be eaten back because of word of mouth.
In addition, there is also a film called "Love at Three and a Half" that will be released on the 29th, but the publicity of the film is almost zero, and the topic and discussion are extremely low, so it is very likely to be a work of accompaniment.
As for the old film released on New Year's Day, it is "Your Wedding" starring Xu Guanghan and Zhang Ruonan, which premiered on April 30, 2021, and announced that it will be re-released on the 30th of this month.
The new and old IPs of the animation theme are facing off
There are two animation works suitable for teenagers and children on New Year's Day this year, one is "Golden Mask Hero", which was officially authorized by Sanxingdui Museum released on the 29th.
The other is "Shuke Beta Pentagon Flying Saucer", which is familiar to children released on the 30th, with Shuke and Beta as the protagonists. One of the two works is entertaining and educational, and the other is a familiar partner for children, I don't know which one parents are more inclined to choose to watch?
Martial arts, war, and suspense themes are small and broad
The martial arts-themed work released on December 28 is called "Invincible in the World", and the film invited two well-known stars, namely An Zhijie and Zou Zhaolong. It's just that martial arts stars have suffered a lot, but the box office appeal is not strong.
Also released on the 28th is the war-themed work "Lonely Army", which is based on a true historical story and starring Ling Xiaosu and Xiao Shenyang. The prime time for the release of war-themed works is the National Day file, but "The Lonely Army" is set for New Year's Day, which can be regarded as a different way.
The suspense work in the New Year's Day file is "Hunting" released on the 29th, which is a small-budget movie, the actors and directors are not well-known, but it is the only suspense film in the New Year's Day file.
From crime to comedy to love, many themed works gathered on New Year's Day. In this way, the competition for the New Year's Day file is also very fierce, and there are a variety of works of various themes, I don't know who the box office champion will be?
