Breaking 2.7 billion! "Flying Life 2" counterattacked, Wu Jing couldn't hold it back, and the new box office king was born

On February 21, the heat of the mainland film market continued to decline.

After the Spring Festival, coupled with the advent of the working day, the box office of the mainland film market is really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and the single-day box office of the four new films in the Spring Festival file has all fallen below 70 million.

As of 23 o'clock on February 21, the top three single-day box office in the mainland are "Article 20", "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Hot".

"Article 20" broke 1.7 billion, and Zhang Yimou may have won the first director throne at the box office in film history.

Zhang Yimou's "Article 20", which was questioned before its release, broke 65.89 million at the box office in a single day, accounting for 26.5% of the film schedule, and the box office accounted for 31.2%, winning the daily crown for 3 consecutive days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 1.7 billion in 12 days of release. Attendance continues to lead the new films in the same period, and if nothing else, the number of film screenings will rise.

"Article 20" undoubtedly replicates the box office miracle of "The Wandering Earth 2" in 2023.

In the Spring Festival in 2023, Zhang Yimou's "Man Jianghong" was highly praised and beat Wu Jing's "The Wandering Earth 2" a little confused, but after the Spring Festival holiday, "The Wandering Earth 2" won the Japanese crown with its excellent word-of-mouth, and finally broke through the 4 billion box office mark.

According to the current trend, it is very likely that the final box office of "Article 20" will break 3 billion.

Zhang Yimou's total box office is now 13.4 billion, behind Tsui Hark's 14.6 billion, and it is the second place in the box office of Chinese film directors, but Tsui Hark's main achievements come from the 10 billion box office of the "Changjin Lake" series, which is very watery. There are not many movies with the main theme platter of Zhang Yimou's works, most of which are the embodiment of personal appeal.

If "Article 20" breaks through the box office of 3 billion, Zhang Yimou is also expected to surpass Tsui Hark and become the first director in Chinese film history in the true sense.

Break 2.7 billion! "Flying Life 2" counterattacked, Wu Jing couldn't hold it back, and the new box office king was born!

Similarly, Shen Teng also came to the first node in film history.

The single-day box office of "Flying Life 2" exceeded 60.23 million, and the gap with "Article 20" was further narrowed, with the proportion of film scheduling exceeding 28.1%, the box office accounting for 28.5%, and the attendance rate fell compared with a few days ago, with a cumulative box office of more than 2.754 billion in 12 days of release.

"Flying Life 2" is undoubtedly going to counterattack this time.

Although the movie only won the daily crown for 1 day, it became the second in the millennium after that, no matter who sits in the champion position of "Hot and Hot" and "Article 20", "Flying Life 2" is the runner-up, it is this stability that makes the movie quietly approaching the box office of 3 billion, and this time the publicity and distribution cost of "Flying Life 2" is much lower than that of "Hot and Hot", and the profit may have been surpassed.

At present, the cumulative box office difference between "Flying Life 2" and "Hot and Hot" is only about 300 million.

The gap between the two single-day box offices is widening, the latest box office prediction of "Flying Life 2" on the ticket-buying platform is 3.3 billion, and "Hot and Hot" is about 3.4 billion, Shen Teng has every chance to counterattack Jia Ling to win the final box office championship of the Spring Festival stalls, which will be a shocking reversal in film history, and it is also the audience's counterattack to the excessive marketing behavior of the Spring Festival stalls!

Regardless of whether Shen Teng can threaten Jia Ling's Spring Festival champion, Wu Jing's first place in film history will definitely not be able to be kept.

With the outstanding performance of "Flying Life 2", the box office of Shen Teng's personal works has soared to 32.8 billion, which is only 600 million away from Wu Jing's 33.4 billion, and "Flying Life 2" just has a box office growth of 6.7 billion. This means that Shen Teng will surpass Wu Jing and win the first place in the personal box office in Chinese film history!

A new box office king is born!

Interestingly, the rise of both of them is staggering.

In 2015, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, with a box office of 1.4 billion. Shen Teng became an instant hit, starring in more than 10 movies in less than 9 years, and his personal box office rushed to 32.8 billion, and his appeal was only matched by Wu Jing, and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" was born in 2017, breaking the box office record in Chinese film history, and Wu Jing has maintained the myth of undefeat since then.

In just 7 years, the personal box office broke 33.4 billion, "Changjin Lake" and "Wolf Warrior 2" won the box office championship and runner-up in Chinese film history, and five of the top ten box office in Chinese film history are starring Wu Jing, although it will be overtaken by Shen Teng this time, but next Wu Jing has "Knife", "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth 3" and other blockbuster new films will be released, and the throne of the king of the box office may not sit firmly on Shen Teng.

The daily box office fell below 50 million! Why is "Hot and Hot" lacking stamina?

The single-day box office of "Hot and Hot" is 49.92 million, accounting for 28.2% of the film schedule, and only 23.6% of the box office.

At present, the cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 3.061 billion in 12 days of release, and it is still the Spring Festival file and the annual box office champion for the time being.

But it is obvious that "Hot and Hot" did not meet the expectations of the 5 billion box office before its release, or even 4 billion box office, and it also made Jia Ling's dream of becoming a 10 billion director with two works come to naught. Why did "Hot and Hot" dive so quickly?

There is no problem with either the publicity or the word-of-mouth of the movie, so maybe it is the quality of the movie?

Now the super blockbuster, the real movie quality can no longer reflect the word-of-mouth, the ratings of "Hot and Hot" on major platforms are all high reputation, but the following audience evaluation is actually polarized, Jia Ling is even more powerful this time, focusing all the promotional gimmicks of the movie on herself, making the movie a female-oriented and fan-oriented work.

The problem with such works is often the lack of box office stamina!
