The box office of the 2024 Mid-Autumn Festival will exceed 300 million
According to the data of Maoyan Professional Edition, as of 11:44 on September 17, the total box office of the 2024 Mid-Autumn Festival schedule (September 15-September 17) exceeded 300 million. "Wild Child", "Shame Before the Snow", and "The Determination to Runaway" are among the top three box office lists in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, overall, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival box office did not catch up with last year. The box office on the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in 2023 is 368 million, and the two movies "Solid as a Rock" and "Predecessor 4: Early Marriage" alone contributed 210 million to the box office. In the end, "Solid as a Rock" got 1.35 billion box office, and "Predecessor 4: Young Marriage" also had 1.012 billion box office.
In this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the box office on the first day of September 15 was finally fixed at 126 million, and none of the top three movies "Wild Child", "Shame Before the Snow" and "The Determination to Run Away" exceeded 100 million. On the afternoon of September 16, the box office of "Wild Child" barely exceeded 100 million. The final box office prediction of Maoyan Professional Edition is 291 million, which is also the only film in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival that has a Maoyan forecast of breaking 100 million.
In addition, the 3D version of "The Wandering Earth 2", which is being re-screened, is also a long-awaited big-screen work for many "fans". At present, it has been re-screened for 2 days, and it has only won more than 2 million box office results, which has not made waves as expected.
Industry insiders said that although there are many types of Mid-Autumn Festival films this year, due to the short schedule and the lack of competitive blockbusters, the attraction to the audience is not good, "Big-budget films will be more inclined to choose summer or National Day releases, and the Mid-Autumn Festival with a 3-day schedule is not the best choice for blockbusters." According to the analysis of industry insiders, at the same time, short-distance travel and returning home during the Mid-Autumn Festival are the choices of most people, and the number of people who choose to go to the cinema to watch movies has decreased, so the industry is looking forward to the performance of the National Day file.
