Directed by Xu Chengyi and starring Bai Baihe and Jing Bairan, the fantasy comedy "To Catch a Demon" is the first domestic film to break 2 billion yuan at the box office, and the first domestic film to beat a Hollywood blockbuster to win the Chinese film box office championship.
The advent of "To Catch a Demon" officially ended the road of Hollywood blockbusters "monopolizing" the box office champions of Chinese movies.
After the movie "To Catch a Demon", Chinese mainland has successively produced films with a box office of 3 billion, 4 billion and 5 billion yuan, which means that the highest box office record in China set by "To Catch a Demon" has long been broken by other films.
Although the record of the highest box office did not last long, another record set by "To Catch a Demon" in that year was surpassed by the domestic war blockbuster "Chosin Lake" until a few days ago, and this record is the number of consecutive days at the daily box office.
"To Catch a Demon" was officially released on July 16, 2015, that is, from this day, the film began to be the 28-day box office champion.
On August 13 of that year, the 29th day of the release of "To Catch a Demon", "Get Out!" also starring Bai Baihe. "Tumor Jun" turned out to be the king, and with more than 40 million yuan, "To Catch a Demon" was driven off the throne of the Japanese box office champion.
Since then, "To Catch a Demon" has become the film with the largest number of consecutive days in Chinese film history with a score of 28 days.
Since then, there have been two domestic movies whose consecutive days of consecutive crown days have almost surpassed "To Catch a Demon", these two domestic movies are "Nezha's Demon Child Descending" and "Fury Case".
The consecutive days of "Nezha's Devil Child Descending" and "Fury Case" are also 28 days, the former encountered the Hollywood action blockbuster "Fast and Furious: Special Ops" on the 29th day of release, and the latter encountered the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Out of Control Player".
It was the emergence of Hollywood blockbusters that ended the road to the daily box office champion of "Nezha" and "Fury Case".
Today, "To Catch a Demon" has maintained a record of six consecutive days at the daily box office, and has finally been broken by the domestic war blockbuster "Chosin Lake" released in this year's National Day file.
"Chosin Lake" has just one more day at the box office than "To Catch a Demon", that is, 29 days.
On the thirtieth day of the film's release, "007's Flawless Death" landed on the Chinese mainland market, and the film received more than 44 million yuan at the box office on the first day of release, taking away the japanese box office champion of "Chosin Lake".
"007 No Time to Die" is also a Hollywood blockbuster, and it has a good reputation after its release Chinese mainland.
If "007 No Time to Die" was released in Chinese mainland a day earlier, the daily box office champion road of "Chosin Lake" may be ended on the 28th day. In this way, the daily box office record set by "To Catch a Demon" will continue for some time.
