Chinese audiences don't buy it, North American audiences regard it as a treasure, and the box office in 17 days broke 2 billion to win the annual crown of global cartoons

On March 26, "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" counterattacked again.

I thought that the brightest star of the week must be "Kung Fu Panda 4", Hollywood makes Chinese-style blockbusters, the combination of kung fu and national treasures, and the dubbing lineup of stars such as Huang Bo, no matter which aspect we would never have thought that "Kung Fu Panda 4" would lose so badly.

As of 22 o'clock on March 26, the top three single-day box office in Chinese mainland were "Weekly Removal of Three Evils", "Kung Fu Panda 4" and "Dune 2".

broke 612 million, "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" beat the Hollywood blockbuster miserably.

"Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" broke 5.13 million at the box office in a single day, accounting for 19.1% of the film schedule, but the box office accounted for more than 22.2%, and it even beat "Kung Fu Panda 4" and "Dune 2" two Hollywood blockbusters to win the daily crown after 26 days of release, with a cumulative box office of more than 612 million.

I have to say that "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" can become the dark horse of the year, and the competitors have made great contributions.

The box office on the first day of the release of the movie on March 1 was only 18.11 million, and now the final box office of the movie is expected to break through 700 million, which is 39 times the box office on the first day of the movie.

Of course, this kind of restricted movie has a limited audience in the mainland, and it can't be compared with a family blockbuster like "Hot and Hot", and the box office ceiling is not too high. This is also the reason why the filmmaker sold the mainland copyright for $200,000, but I didn't expect the mainland distributor to engage in a gimmick and leverage the box office of 700 million at a small cost, which is one of the highest-grossing films this year.

The bad movies recognized by Chinese audiences are regarded as treasures by North American audiences, and the box office broke 2 billion in 17 days to win the global annual championship!

"Kung Fu Panda 4" and "Dune 2" have become difficult brothers.

The single-day box office of "Dune 2" dropped to 2.77 million, and the cumulative box office exceeded 320 million in 19 days of release, which is considered a passing grade, but the box office stamina is not strong, especially when it was released at the same time as "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week", the gap is even more obvious.

But I really didn't expect "Kung Fu Panda 4" to be so bleak.

"Kung Fu Panda 4" has a single-day box office of only 4.97 million, accounting for 24.6% of the film schedule and only 21.5% of the box office. The cumulative box office is only 195 million. You must know that the movie was screened on a large scale for several days before it was released, and this result is actually a week after the movie was released.

How bad is this achievement?

2016's "Kung Fu Panda 3" is the Chinese audience saved the box office, the box office of the movie broke 100 million on the first day of release, the box office broke 330 million in the first weekend 3 days, and the box office has rushed to 410 million in 5 days.

After that, "Kung Fu Panda 3" continued to decline, and finally the box office broke 1 billion, which finally saved the crisis of the movie's loss.

According to the current trend, the final box office of "Kung Fu Panda 4" in Chinese mainland may not exceed 300 million, after all, there is "Godzilla vs. King Kong" this week, and there will be a new film released on the Qingming Festival schedule next week, leaving Po with little time.

Fortunately, this time the North American audience stood up, and I have to say that in recent years, the Chinese audience's taste in Hollywood is incomprehensible.

This "Kung Fu Panda 4" was originally aimed at the Chinese market, after all, the Chinese audience of the previous work was the savior, but unfortunately the movie was too Hollywood routine, and the first three parts themselves are a complete story, and the film party forcibly launched the film in order to sell feelings and fried cold rice, and reduced the cost to 85 million US dollars, that is, 610 million yuan.

It's not a first-line blockbuster in Hollywood.

Therefore, the movie is full of the four words of poor donkey skills, almost all the bridges and jokes in the film are from the first three, the director purely wants to rely on the gimmick of Chinese elements to sell the box office, but the current Chinese audience is no longer satisfied with the superficial flattery, we need a film with the core of Chinese culture, which is why no matter what Hollywood has done in recent years, the Chinese audience just doesn't buy it.

But this kind of curiosity hunting North American audiences is obviously regarded as a treasure.

"Kung Fu Panda 4" broke through 283 million US dollars at the box office in 17 days after its global release, that is, 2 billion yuan, surpassing "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" to win the 2024 global animated film annual crown, of which North American audiences contributed 132 million US dollars, accounting for nearly half, and won the North American Japanese crown in a row, so that the film almost recovered its production costs.

According to the current trend, there is no problem for the movie to break $500 million at the box office.

is even expected to surpass "Hot and Hot" and "Dune 2" to win the global box office championship in 2024, but the interesting thing is that this champion film has suffered a double fiasco at the box office and word-of-mouth in China, and Hollywood may continue the curse of not having a 1 billion box office blockbuster in the mainland market in 2024.

Gone are the days when Hollywood was calling for wind and rain in the Chinese mainland market.
