The annual May Day officially kicked off, and major films appeared one after another, and the box office on the first day could see the clues.
On Wednesday, May 1, the mainland box office rankings were newly released, with a total of 410 million yuan in the market.
The ranking of the list has also changed dramatically, and the top three have been replaced by three new films: "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", "Unhurried Spending Money" and "Spy Playing House Codename: White".
This time, a total of eight new films are competing at the same time, and it is impossible for May 1st to accommodate so many new films, so there will inevitably be some laggards.
The summary can be divided into three ladders:
The first ladder is at the "cannon fodder" level. refers to "The Pig Man Movie: Interstellar Operation", "Journey Through the Moon", and "There is nothing that a hot pot can't solve".
The Pig Man series of big movies is the first film to be eliminated, and in the face of two Japanese imported animations, our animation is not so confident.
On Wednesday, it got a box office of 9.79 million on the first day of painting, ranking eighth. It is obvious in the follow-up that its film schedule will be preempted by other films, and it is basically in a state of no one after the three-day tour.
Zhang Zifeng and Hu Xianxu's "Journey Through the Moon", and Yang Mi Yu Qian's "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" also encountered the same situation.
"A Journey Through the Moon" received 16.23 million on the first day, ranking seventh, and "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" premiered with 18.37 million, ranking sixth.
Both films are predicted to have a box office of 100 million, especially Yang Mi, and everyone is questioning her box office appeal.
A romance film, a suspense film, is in the fittest in the schedule announcement, we don't care whether the reputation is good or not, if the theater manager just doesn't schedule the film, as the producer, there is no way to crack it.
The second tier is at the moderate level. Representative films include "Howl's Moving Castle", "Spy Playing House Codename: White" and "Unhurried Money".
"Howl's Moving Castle" and "Spy Playing House Codename: White" started early on April 30, the key is that the attendance rate has not plummeted, and the film schedule has stabilized at more than 10%, and the box office will naturally rise.
One is a classic animation in Miyazaki's film history, and the other is an IP that has exploded in recent years, both of which have a certain fan base, plus the first choice for children's movie-watching, and the May 1st file continues to break out.
"Howl's Moving Castle" received another 32.37 million the next day, with a total box office of more than 50 million, ranking fifth; "Spy Playing House Codename: White" got 56.95 million the next day, and the box office approached the 100 million yuan mark.
The runner-up was Jia Bing's "Spending Money on the Road", which achieved a box office of 85.79 million on the first day, and its performance was acceptable. The film is the only orthodox comedy on May Day, and if everyone wants to relax during the May Day holiday, comedy movies should be the first choice.
Therefore, even if there are no big-name stars, relying on the appeal of sketch actor Jia Bing alone, he can easily surpass a number of new films.
The third ladder is the box office explosion level. Refers specifically to "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" and "Riot Squad Peacekeeping".
From a long-term point of view, these two films will "fight the top of the Forbidden City" in the May 1st file.
Before the release of "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" starring Louis Koo and Lin Feng, its pre-sale popularity was at the bottom, and the follow-up filmmakers urgently adopted two rounds of screening strategies, completely saving the film.
On May 1, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" won a box office of 49.65 million in a single day, ranking fifth, and with the previous box office, the total box office came to 130 million.
The film seems to have become the biggest dark horse in this schedule, and Brother Brown predicts that the box office will have a significant increase, and many viewers who have watched the film will automatically join the ranks of "tap water" and help spread the word of mouth for free.
At present, the Douban score of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is the first to open a score of 7.5, and an action genre film can have such a high reputation, and there is no suspense about the box office detonation.
On a par with "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team".
This movie, starring Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo, hit the box office of 135 million in its premiere, winning the first single-day box office championship strongly, and 50 million more than the runner-up "Spending Money on the Road".
If "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is not screened, it will be compared with the results on the first day, and it will be directly beaten.
In terms of data, it is very eye-catching, "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" was as high as 26.8% on the first day, accounting for 32.9% of the box office, and the lock rate remained high, almost one-third of the box office of the market.
The predicted box office has also increased significantly from the previous 400 million to 683 million, and there is no doubt that the filmmaker invited Wang Yibo this time.
With Wang Yibo, it is equivalent to having the support of fans, from the beginning of the announcement, the popularity of this film has continued to skyrocket, and the pre-sale has been far ahead, and with such a high film scheduling rate, it can be seen how strong Wang Yibo's fan appeal is.
Wang Yibo has now become a lucky general, and whenever the producer asks him to star, he makes all the money.
He has starred in four films so far, all of which have been box office hits.
Last year's Spring Festival, directed by Cheng Er and starring Wang Yibo and Tony Leung, "No Name" had a budget cost of 300 million, a total box office of 931 million in the mainland, and nearly 100 million net income from the filmmaker.
On May 1st in the same year, "King of the Sky" starring Wang Yibo, Hu Jun, and Zhou Dongyu had a budget cost of 250 million, a total box office of 850 million, and a profit of more than 100 million.
is still last summer, Huang Bo and Wang Yibo starred in "Warm", with a budget cost of 200 million, a total box office of 913 million, and a profit of more than 300 million.
The fourth is the just-released "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", judging from the trend, it is another rhythm of making money.
Now, Wang Yibo, like Zhu Yilong, Yi Yang Qianxi and other actors, has smoothly switched from the TV screen to the big screen, and the box office results are remarkable, and the audience can see it.
I also hope that Wang Yibo will make great achievements in the future and bring us more excellent works.
