Highlight the point

In the summer of 012024, the film market ushered in the comedy blockbuster "Catching the Doll" starring Shen Teng and Ma Li, with a box office of more than 150 million on the first day, accounting for more than 30% of the film schedule and 50.2% of the box office.

02 However, the word-of-mouth of "Catching the Doll" is polarized, and some viewers are dissatisfied with the plot in the second half of the story, thinking that the plot development is too old-fashioned.

03 At the same time, the box office of the 2024 martial arts film champion "Wei Daomen" is only 198,000, and the number of viewers is 5,597, which raises concerns about the prospects of the martial arts film market.

The summer file finally ushered in a savior.

On July 13th, "Catching the Doll" was screened in advance, yes, this comedy blockbuster starring Shen Teng and Ma Li has not yet been officially released, and it has been regarded as Ganlin by the cinema that has been hungry for a long time!

The box office broke 150 million on the first day, and the word-of-mouth of "Catching the Doll" was polarized, can Shen Teng shake Jia Ling's throne?

As of 22 o'clock on July 13, the top three single-day box office in the mainland are "Catching Dolls", "Silent Killing" and "Despicable Me 4".

The box office of "Catching the Doll" broke 150 million on the first day of screening, accounting for more than 30% of the scheduled films, and the box office accounted for 50.2%.

However, the word-of-mouth of the movie is a bit polarized.

The movie still takes place in Xihong City, telling the story of Ma Chenggang Chunlan played by Shen Teng and Ma Li who did not eat hard to cultivate children, the first half of the laughter is intensive, Shen Teng and Ma Li's performance is extremely good, and all kinds of jokes and stalks are very comfortable.

However, in the second half of the movie, some viewers were dissatisfied with the joke of taking the grandmother's death and inspiring the child to take the Qingbei exam.

And the plot develops to the end, and it's almost all hellish jokes. It is also the main creator who wants to reflect on Chinese-style education, but many viewers go to the movies with the mentality of pure entertainment, and the final climax is that the child gives up the college entrance examination to punish his parents and expose the conspiracy, in fact, it is not interesting, everyone knows that the child is a rich second generation, and it makes little sense to take the test or not.

With the popularity of "Catching the Doll", in the case of no opponent in the same period of the summer file, the box office should be able to easily break through 3 billion.

However, there is suspense whether it can surpass Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" with a box office of 3.46 billion and win the annual championship.

The single-day box office of "Silent Killing" broke 79.92 million.

Although "Catching the Doll" was screened, it did not have such a big impact on "Silent Killing", after all, the themes of the two movies are completely different, and the audience is not the same. The film schedule accounted for more than 26.1%, the box office accounted for 26.3%, and the cumulative box office exceeded 782 million in 11 days of release, and it is expected to hit the 1 billion box office mark next week.

"Despicable Me 4" broke 43.79 million at the box office in a single day.

In the 2 days after the movie was released, the proportion of scheduled films dropped to 16%, the box office accounted for 14.4%, and the attendance rate was not bad. At present, the cumulative box office has exceeded 85 million, and the final box office is predicted to be 400 million, which is halved compared to the previous work.

"Legend" did not reach the top three at the box office.

The single-day box office of the movie dropped to 6.63 million, and the proportion of films scheduled on the 4th day of release was only 8.5%, and the box office accounted for only 2.1%, and the attendance rate was at the bottom! Jackie Chan plus so many traffic stars, not to mention ordinary audiences, why are even fans unwilling to support it? At present, the cumulative box office is less than 70 million, and it is predicted that the final box office will stop at 100 million.

The champion of martial arts films in 2024, with a box office of only 198,000 and 5,597 viewers, was beaten miserably by Shen Teng!

On July 13th, there are actually three new films premiered "Erlang God's Deep Sea Dragon", "Wei Daomen" and "One Thousand and One Nights: Saving the Golden City".

It's a pity that under the strength of Shen Teng's "Catching the Doll", the premiere of the new film was beaten miserably.

One of the most interesting is "Wei Damen"!

As of 22 o'clock on July 13, the box office on the first day of the movie's release was only 198,000, and the number of moviegoers was only 5,597.

Of course, there will be a total of two martial arts films in the mainland film market in 2024, the other is "The World is Invincible" starring Zou Zhaolong, the box office is only 56,000, and the release date of "The World is Invincible" is December 28, 2023, but part of the box office is calculated in 2024.

It is not surprising that "Wei Daomen" can win the annual championship of martial arts films.

But for martial arts films, this genre film unique to Chinese films is quite sad, once martial arts movies were the favorite of many audiences, Jet Li was also crowned the emperor of kung fu with martial arts films, but in recent years, martial arts films seem to have lost the market and lost the favor of the audience, and we haven't seen a martial arts masterpiece on the big screen for a long time.

The persistence of "Wei Daomen" is worthy of recognition, but its quality is disappointing.

In the film, Wei Daomen is an ancient sect founded by the idea of compassion, the male protagonist Tao Ming is a young master, when he was in danger of destroying the door when he was a child, he was taken away by his master Ouyang Shun, and finally raised as an adult, and also taught Wei Daomen to be excellent, but the male protagonist was not allowed to show his martial arts outside, thinking that Lei Kun, the villain who destroyed the door back then, was still eyeing him in the dark.

Film director Ke Zhou is a martial arts instructor, but there are no representative works, this time "Wei Daomen" is self-written and directed, the plot is too old-fashioned, and then the movie also won the New York International Film Award for Best Action Film, of course, this so-called international award is a gimmick.

The action scenes of the movie are quite watchable, but in today's mainland market, this kind of theme is probably not destined to sell well.

Let's see if Wu Jing's "Dartman" and Tsui Hark's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can help martial arts films turn the tide.
