On October 30 this year, the domestic war blockbuster "Chosin Lake", which was released in Chinese mainland for less than 30 days, officially surpassed the comedy film "Hello, Li Huanying" directed and starred by Jia Ling, and now becomes the global annual box office champion in 2021.
The comedy "Hello, Li Huanying", directed and starred by Jia Ling, landed in the Chinese mainland market during this year's Spring Festival. Because of its extremely good reputation, the film's box office performance first surpassed "Detective Chinatown 3", and then approached the champion status of "Wolf Warrior 2".
However, due to the re-screening of the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster "Avatar" in China, the daily box office trend of "Hello, Li Huanying" fell sharply, and the final total box office performance of the film stayed at 5.413 billion yuan, which was more than 200 million yuan away from "Wolf Warrior 2".
The domestic war blockbuster "Changjin Lake" was released in Chinese mainland this year's National Day file. Compared with "Hello, Li Huanying", "Chosin Lake" is more concerned and expected by the audience. Before its release, some media and audiences believed that the film could break the box office record of Chinese films.
Today, "Changjin Lake", which has been released for only one month, has exceeded the 5.413 billion yuan of "Hello, Li Huanying", and is temporarily ranked second in the box office of Chinese films, and there is only one "Wolf Warrior 2" in front of it.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is the box office champion of Chinese films, with a total box office of 5.694 billion yuan, and "Chosin Lake" also has a gap of more than 200 million yuan.
There have been a number of domestic box office hits that have the ability to challenge the champion status of "Wolf Warrior 2", such as the 2019 Chinese annual box office champion "Nezha", "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Hello, Li Huanying" released in this year's Spring Festival, and "Changjin Lake", which is currently in the hot screening.
The previous films, for some reason, failed to surpass Wolf Warrior 2 at the final box office, while the current Chosin Lake had high hopes.
October 29 this year is the 30th day of the release of "Chosin Lake". On this day, the Chinese mainland market ushered in a Hollywood blockbuster "007 No Time to Die".
Under the impact of the box office of this Hollywood blockbuster, the movie "Chosin Lake" still received a very impressive box office, and its total box office easily surpassed "Hello, Lee Huanying".
Such a superior box office performance has greatly increased the platform's box office prediction for "Chosin Lake".
According to the Maoyan platform, the current predicted box office of "Chosin Lake" is 5.68 billion yuan, which is only about 14 million yuan away from "Wolf Warrior 2", which can be said to be quite close.
Although there is still some gap between the predicted box office and "Wolf Warrior 2", "Chosin Lake" has the hope of surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2" to become the box office champion, because the film's current box office trend is still very impressive.
