broke 30 million in 7 hours, Godzilla vs. King Kong 2 won the championship on the first day, and Peng Yuchang had no hope of returning to his roots
On Friday, March 29, the mainland film market finally ushered in a blockbuster Hollywood blockbuster.
Of course, in addition to the high-profile "Godzilla vs. Kong 2", there is also a French film "Falling Trial" premiered, plus "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Galaxy Writer" released on March 30, the mainland film market seems to be very lively this weekend.
However, the box office situation is that some people are happy and some are worried.
broke 30 million in 7 hours, defeated "Zhou Place" to win the championship, and Hollywood will finally hit the king bomb in 2024!
"Godzilla vs. King Kong 2" defeated "Three Evils Everywhere" on the first day of release without suspense to win the championship.
As of 7 o'clock on March 29, the box office of the movie exceeded 30 million in just 7 hours, accounting for more than 39.9% of the film schedule and 87.6% of the box office. It is worth noting that the real release time of the movie is 9 o'clock, and the current box office is only sold in advance, and it is boldly predicted that the final box office of the movie will exceed 100 million on the first day.
"Godzilla vs. Kong 2" undoubtedly saved Hollywood.
The scale of the film's release in the mainland is the largest in the past two years, and the theater chain is also the most face-saving, not only the first day of release gave a super high number of film schedules, but the proportion of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" in the next two weekends is even close to 50%, it can really be said that a movie occupies half of the mainland market.
This was due to the excellent performance of the pre-film and pre-sales.
The Monster Cinematic Universe has been soaring since the mainland box office of "Godzilla" broke 481 million in 2014.
2017's "King Kong: Skull Island" with the blessing of Chinese actor Jing Tian exceeded 1.158 billion at the mainland box office.
In 2019, the mainland box office of "Godzilla 2" also approached 1 billion.
In 2021, the mainland box office of "Godzilla vs. Kong" broke 1.232 billion, setting a new high in the series, and it is the best Hollywood blockbuster in the mainland market in the past three years, and this time "Godzilla vs. King Kong 2" did not do anything wrong, the movie was released simultaneously in the United States, and the 115-minute length was not cut.
The literary drama is still pulling the crotch, but people haven't filmed many human scenes, and the whole process is a monster fight.
The movie is fought all the way to the end, following the principle of a small fight in five minutes and a big battle in 10 minutes, Godzilla King Kong teamed up with the villain Scar to fight on the earth, which really hit the center of the earth from the surface.
This kind of special effects popcorn blockbuster is what Chinese audiences love to watch, not Black Mermaid, Black Superman, and Black Beauty.
I even have a feeling that the Chinese audience's viewing tastes have not changed, but Hollywood itself has changed in recent years, and this "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" is an example.
Hollywood blockbusters in 2024 continue the decline of 2023.
"Dune 2", "Kung Fu Panda 4", "Beekeeper" and other blockbusters are not outstanding, especially "Kung Fu Panda 4" has only exceeded 200 million at the mainland box office, and it is predicted that the final box office will not exceed 300 million.
It also makes me wonder if Hollywood will not have a blockbuster film that breaks 1 billion box office in the Chinese mainland market in 2024.
But "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" may be able to help Hollywood hit the king, according to the current trend, although the final box office of the movie cannot exceed the 1.232 billion box office of the previous work, it still has hope of breaking 1 billion.
It's useless to run away during the Spring Festival, and Peng Yuchang's new film is hopeless!
"Godzilla vs. King Kong 2" was a box office hit, which had a great impact on the upcoming "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Galaxy Writer".
Especially "Let's Shake the Sun Together" starring Peng Yuchang.
The movie was originally a 2024 Spring Festival blockbuster, but I didn't expect to be beaten miserably by Shen Teng and Jia Ling during the schedule, so I came up with the trick of withdrawing the file after the Spring Festival release, which surprised many fans.
Up to now, the pre-sale box office on the first day of the re-screening of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" on March 30 is only 1.06 million, and the proportion of pre-rehearsed films is only 10.2%.
It can be seen that under the strength of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2", the theater chain is not optimistic about "Let's Shake the Sun Together".
The production cost of the film exceeded 200 million, and the Spring Festival file won almost 100 million box office results, it is a miracle that this re-screening can win another 100 million, and the box office of the movie is about 600 million, it seems that there is no hope for Peng Yuchang to return to the original this time.
Coupled with "Mr. Red Carpet", which has been re-screened some time ago, with the blessing of Andy Lau, the box office of the two releases did not exceed 100 million.
It proves the curse of the box office fiasco of the withdrawn movie, after all, everyone knows that if the quality is not good, why withdraw the file?
