I really didn't expect "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" to counterattack.

On April 25, two new films "Billion Plan" and "Long Wind and Ten Thousand Miles" premiered in the mainland film market, but the limelight was completely stolen by Louis Koo's "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City", and the film almost won the daily box office championship with a low proportion of films.

Falling for 2 consecutive days, will the box office break 1 billion? Louis Koo is going to make a way for Hong Kong films again!

As of 22 o'clock on April 25, the top three single-day box office in the mainland are "Godzilla vs. King Kong 2", "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" and "What kind of life do you want to live".

The single-day box office of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2" exceeded 4.81 million, accounting for 21.8% of the film schedule and 22.6% of the box office.

The movie can still win the Japanese crown after 28 days of release, I am afraid that thanks to the crotch pull of domestic films during this time, the current cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 882 million, but unfortunately there is still a week to go, the May Day file is coming, the film scheduling advantage of "Godzilla vs. King Kong 2" will definitely not be able to keep, and the final box office may not be able to break through 1 billion, and Hollywood still has not been able to break the 1 billion box office curse.

On the third day of the screening of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City", the daily box office exceeded 4.49 million.

The proportion of scheduled films is only 5.1%, and the box office proportion is as high as 21.1%, and the attendance rate far exceeds that of new films in the same period.

The movie was screened in advance on April 23, breaking 3.52 million on the first day, 4.04 million on the next day, and 4.49 million on the third day.

With the number of scheduled screenings basically unchanged, the box office of the movie has fallen for 2 consecutive days, which shows the strong reputation of the movie, and I even dare to boldly predict that the movie will usher in a round of box office explosion this weekend, even if there are many new May Day films this weekend.

With the fermentation of word-of-mouth, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" has continuously surpassed "Spy Play" and "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", winning the first place in the May 1st pre-sale box office list, and some media even predict that the final box office of the movie will break 1 billion.

Many movie fans know that Hollywood has performed well in the mainland market in recent years.

And Hong Kong films are also facing this problem, after "Angry Case" in 2021, it has been almost 3 years since Hong Kong films did not have a 1 billion box office hit in the mainland, even if Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Aaron Kwok and other superstars took turns to play, mainland audiences just didn't buy it, and Hong Kong films' confidence in the mainland market also fell to the freezing point.

If it is left unchecked, I am afraid that no Hong Kong film will dare to make a big production.

At this time, Louis Koo made a turnaround, whether it was pre-sale or word-of-mouth, he caught up, and even surpassed the top blockbuster of May 1st, this result can obviously boost the confidence of Hong Kong films, and can also help Hong Kong films re-establish their reputation in the hearts of mainland audiences.

"What kind of life do you want to live" has a single-day box office of 3.33 million.

The cumulative box office of this film has exceeded 750 million in 23 days of release, which has set the best record of Hayao Miyazaki in the mainland market, and it is also the largest box office in the world, coupled with the poor performance of the Japanese film market in recent years, I believe that more and more Japanese films will focus on the Chinese mainland market, of course, to please the Chinese audience.

The box office is only 424 yuan, the performance of the new film is dismal, and the May 1st blockbuster is ready to go.

"The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" performed strongly, but unfortunately the two new films that premiered on April 25 were really disappointing.

The box office of the costume war film "Long Wind and Ten Thousand Miles" was only 79,000 on the first day, and the movie tells the story of Ban Chao's pen from Rong, if there is a reliable production, Ban Chao's 36 people will be filmed in the Western Regions, it is definitely an epic blockbuster, but unfortunately the cost of the movie is not high, it is purely the texture of a TV movie.

The star-studded "Billion Plan" was even more disappointing.

Fang Lishen, Xu Juncong, Xuecun, Yuan Qiongdan and other stars are very well-known, the movie is still a comedy, but the box office on the first day is only 424 yuan, and the number of moviegoers is only 10, which can be called an annual box office tragedy.

It can be seen that in recent years, domestic blockbusters have been too fond of squeezing in prime time.

As a result, the ordinary schedule will become extremely deserted without the support of imported films, and the theater chain is also quite uncomfortable, relying on these golden schedules throughout the year, but now the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies in the prime period is not high, and they often only choose one blockbuster to watch, and the prime blockbuster has the risk of losing money, for example, 4 of the 8 blockbusters in the Spring Festival this year were withdrawn.

This year's May 11 blockbusters are ready to go, and with the current market heat and pre-sale situation, I am afraid that there are not many people who can really make money.
