Sohu Entertainment News (Hamai/Text) In June this year, due to the lack of popular models, the film market was cold, and the national film box office in June was 2.23 billion yuan, down 46% from 4.134 billion yuan in June last year.
In June last year, a "Disappearing Her" sold 1.7 billion yuan, and two imported films "Transformers: Rise of the Super Warriors" and "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" sold 595 million yuan and 340 million yuan respectively. And the highest-grossing movie in June this year is "There is a Commissary in the Clouds", with a cumulative box office of 360 million yuan that month.
Because April, May, and June were less than expected, the national film box office in the first half of 2024 was 23.9 billion yuan, down about 9% from 26.3 billion yuan in the first half of last year.
In the first half of 2024, the North American film box office will exceed 3.454 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 25.1 billion yuan), surpassing the Chinese market and ranking first in the world. The highest-grossing film is "Mind Squad 2", which has so far grossed $880 million worldwide.
