I really did not expect that "Chosin Lake", which was released for 31 days, actually withstood the pressure of "007 No Time to Die"
As of October 30th, "007 No Time to Die" won the single-day box office championship with a box office of 75.66 million, but it did not open the gap of "Chosin Lake", as an "old movie" that was released for a month.
"Chosin Lake" won a single-day box office of 55.21 million on the 30th, and it should be known that the proportion of "Chosin Lake" is only 22%, far lower than the 34.8% of "007 No Time to Die". It shows that "Chosin Lake" is still more popular with Chinese audiences, and the attendance rate is much higher than that of "007 No Time to Die"
Here it is boldly predicted that "007 No Time to Die" will be surpassed by "Chosin Lake" on the 31st, and Wu Jing will regain the single-day box office championship
"Chosin Lake" won the annual box office title, and Wu Jing's goal was only to beat himself
At present, "Chosin Lake" has a cumulative box office of 5.458 billion yuan in the 31 days of release, which is the fastest blockbuster in the history of Chinese cinema to break 5 billion, if many people have doubts about whether "Chosin Lake" can break 3 billion before the release, then now "Chosin Lake" has surpassed "Hello!" Li Huanying", became the 2021 China and global double annual box office champion!
"Chosin Lake" has only one goal, that is, to break the ceiling of the Chinese film market
In 2017, "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, facing an opponent who was mostly starred in the entertainment industry's "The Great Cause of Building an Army", but Wu Jing starred in the fight, making the domestic film have a war action blockbuster that was not lost to Hollywood for the first time. "Wolf Warrior 2" soared at the box office, eventually earning 5.69 billion at the box office, almost doubling the box office record of the previous "Mermaid"
In the past 5 years, countless domestic blockbusters have wanted to challenge this record, from the dark horse "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending" to the much-anticipated "Detective Chinatown 3" to "Hello! Li Huanying failed to cross the last hurdle. Can Wu Jing defeat Wu Jing this time and once again explore the upper limit of the Chinese film box office?
Now it seems that the probability is very high, Wu Jing is really the box office koi of the Chinese film market
"Dune" and "007 No Time to Die" after the release of "Chosin Lake" can basically be declared defeated, although there is also a Hollywood blockbuster "Special Forces: Snake's Eye Origin" in early November, but this bad film has long been overseas, postponed for 3 months to release in China, the box office will certainly not be good. It wasn't until late November that Chosin Lake met a decent opponent, Railroad Hero.
This means that "Chosin Lake" still has a stable schedule for the next month, and the film has been postponed to November 30th, but a popular blockbuster of this level will definitely be postponed again, just like "Hello! Li Huanying's release period is as long as 3 months! The box office gap between "Chosin Lake" and "Wolf Warrior 2" is only about 230 million, and breaking the record is a nail in the coffin! Even "Chosin Lake" has the potential to hit the 6 billion box office!
For Wu Jing, it is the first person to sit on the box office appeal
From 2017 to 2021, Wu Jing won two annual box office titles in "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Chosin Lake" in five years, as well as "The Wandering Earth", which ranked second in the annual box office in 2019, and "My Hometown and Me" in 2020, which also starred in the second annual box office. That is to say, in addition to Wu Jing's no movie release in 2018, Wu Jing won two annual championships and two annual runners-up in five years!
The release of the 2022 Spring Festival file "Watergate Bridge" has basically booked the annual box office champion of the year. Such national popularity is rare in film history
"Chosin Lake" a movie was born three tens of billions of directors, Chen Kaige once again won the first place in the annual box office after 16 years
"Changjin Lake" also added a great bonus to the three directors Chen Kaige, Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian, with a box office of 5.458 billion, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Lin Chaoxian all entered the 10 billion directors club, compared with the 10 billion actors club with increasing moisture
There are only five directors plus Chen Sicheng and Xu Zheng, three of whom have entered by relying on "Changjin Lake", which shows the strength of the film
For Chen Kaige, "Chosin Lake" is of greater significance
Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are representatives of the fifth generation of Chinese directors, but in recent years, their commercial performance has been repeatedly defeated by new directors. Even most of the time is to shoot a loss. Word of mouth is also ridiculed by the group, before only Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" touched the threshold of 1 billion box office
Chen Kaige not to mention, 2005's "Wuji" won 175 million box office, which was the annual box office champion of that year, but this movie was regarded as the beginning of Chen Kaige's fall to the altar, and then Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang", "Zhao's Orphan", "Taoist Descending the Mountain", and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" did not improve at the box office
Until the beginning of the production of "My Motherland and Me" and "Changjin Lake", it is interesting that these two films have Wu Jing starring, to a certain extent, Wu Jing is also Chen Kaige's lucky general, this kind of big theme film is actually difficult to grasp the new director, the fifth generation of Chinese directors with family and country feelings are the best candidates
16 years after "Wuji", Chen Kaige once again won the first place in the annual box office, this time no one ridiculed, but it is deserved
