On December 15, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were released in domestic theaters at the same time.
Judging from the response to the premieres, the audience's acceptance of the two films is relatively high.
With three blockbusters released at the same time, this year's Lunar New Year holiday is likely to generate higher box office and attention than last year.
"The Martian" earned another $58 million on Wednesday and $543 million in seven days.
On Thursday, due to the addition of two new films, the film schedule also dropped sharply from 90% to 41%.
However, compared with the halving of the film schedule, the box office did not plummet. It once again achieved a super high box office of 45 million with a 25% drop, and the attendance rate and average attendance increased again.
The reduction in film schedule has not resulted in a corresponding decrease in box office, which shows that "The Martian" still has great box office potential.
"The Thirteen Beauties" won 40 million at the box office with 31% of the film schedule, attendance rate and per-game average.
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" only had 27% of the film schedule, and its first-day box office reached 36 million.
On the 15th, the domestic film market’s single-day box office output reached 121 million, setting a record for the Lunar New Year period.
In the history of mainland movies, this is second only to "Transformers 3"'s single-day total of 115 million.
The three movies accounted for 99% of the movie schedule. At this time, it was impossible to find any other movies to watch. The cinema could not even schedule these three movies and did not take other movies into consideration at all.
So a ridiculous phenomenon emerged. The aisles and waiting halls of movie theaters across the country are covered with various posters, but when you go in to buy tickets, you can’t buy any other movie tickets except for these three movies, unless it’s at night.
There will be a fight after 10 o'clock, or during the day.
Basically no movie theater will arrange other movie screenings during the evening prime time. Tens of thousands of screens across the country are dominated by these three movies.
Such a high box office drove the entire market to rise, and the media also reported frantically.
""The Martian" completely defeated "The Beautiful Girl" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Tang An defeated the two major directors and hit the box office record of 1.3 billion!"
“‘The Martian’ grossed 45 million at the box office on its eighth day of release, and was not affected at all by ‘The Thirteen Hairpins’ and ‘Flying Swords of Dragon Gate’!”
"Tang An beats Zhang Yimou for the first time, who is the number one director in China?"
"Three Lunar New Year blockbusters have exploded at the box office, helping the 2011 summer season hit a new high!"
Entertainment news is basically covered by these three movies and several directors and starring actors. The other popular TV series "Bu Bu Jing Xin" was released and the popular "Tang Palace Beauty World" was released.
Get down and secure your spot as the ratings champion for the same period.
The three movies split the world. Although "The Martian" has the highest box office, "The Thirteen Girls" does not have a 3D version yet. It took 40 million at the box office with 31% of the film schedule in the case of all 2D screens.
It has created the most terrifying attendance rate this year, much higher than "The Martian" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
In terms of reputation, "The Martian" has the best reputation, followed by "The Thirteen Hairpins", but "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is also a masterpiece among domestic films.
Before its release, the Douban score of "The Thirteen Hairpins" was 6.3. 24 hours after its release, the score jumped to 8.
This is the case with domestic movies. Often, before a movie is released, a large number of preconceived audiences will give it a low score.
Obviously, many viewers are still stuck in the impression of "Three Guns".
This is why the ratings of Hollywood movies are always one point higher than those of domestic movies of the same grade.
Very few people will give a low score to a foreign movie they haven't seen because you are not familiar with the director and actors.
On the contrary, no matter who the domestic directors or actors are, there are a large number of audiences who dislike them, and they will easily give them 1 star before even watching the movie.
This box office figure is within the range acceptable to all three parties. Xu Ke's previous "Detective Dee: Empire of Heaven" only had a box office of 200 million, so it is considered the one with the least pressure.
Zhang Weiping also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the box office was not as good as "The Martian", the attendance rate was much higher.
Coupled with the good reputation of the movie, there is full hope for a counterattack in the future.
After being nervous for so long, Zhang Weiping could finally relax and take advantage of his free time to sit comfortably on the sofa, make a cup of tea, read reports and read the news.
After reading the data and flipping through the news, I happened to see a piece of happy news on Xinlang.
Because "The Thirteen Beauties" was not scheduled at a Bernard Cinema in West Eucalyptus, hundreds of viewers left in disappointment within half an hour during prime time in the evening and entered a nearby cinema instead.
Looking at the photos and videos above, Zhang Weiping smiled disdainfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Similar situations occurred in various cinemas in Bernard. Zhang Yimou's reputation is not built on, many people come here just for him.
When there were originally only these two movies in the summer season, there was even a larger fan migration.
The Lunar New Year season continues to heat up, with "The Martian" taking in box office receipts of 65 million, 80 million and 70 million respectively in the next three days.
433 million in a single week, with a total box office of 803 million in 11 days of release!
"The Thirteen Beauties" followed closely, with a box office of 164 million in the three days of the weekend, and the total box office in the first four days was as high as 204 million!
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is still chasing after it, earning 150 million in the three days of the weekend, and the total box office in the first four days also reached 186 million.
On Saturday, the 17th, the market reached an unprecedented 193 million, setting a single-day record for the mainland film market.
Last week, the market reached a staggering 823 million!
"The Martian" contributed half of the 430 million, which is higher than "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" combined!
In the first week, Tang An defeated the two major directors!
823 million in 7 days!
The domestic film market has experienced its largest growth in the past decade, and it can no longer be described as a blowout.
After 5 p.m., if you walk into any movie theater, the occupancy rate in almost every screening room will exceed 80%.
In many cities, it is rare for some good movie theaters to be fully booked in one evening.
Even in small counties, under the bombardment of three blockbusters, the movie theaters were full.
Even on weekdays, it is difficult to buy movie tickets at suitable locations on site after evening.
Affected by the overall market, the stocks of two major companies, Huayi and Guangxian, have been rising steadily, even though they have no movies released at all.
Even Huace Film and Television, which specializes in making TV series, has also benefited from this. Film and television culture stocks have become popular in the stock market. Hualubaina, which is expected to be listed in February next year, has a bright future.
Chairman Xiao Ma announced that he has officially submitted a listing application to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and many film and television companies are planning to go public through backdoor listings.
In an interview with reporters, Zhang Weiping admitted that his previous statement that the market was around 1.5 billion in December was too conservative. It was at least 2 billion!
Zhang Yimou said that ten years ago the domestic film market ushered in the blockbuster era, and now it has entered a golden age, which is the best era for filmmakers.
Xu Ke also agreed. He said that the prosperity of the mainland film market has surpassed the Yellow Turban era of Hong Kong films.
Tang An himself boldly predicted in an interview that the box office of domestic films will exceed 3 billion in three years and will exceed 5 billion in five years.
The reporters reported these remarks truthfully, and it is rare that they did not exaggerate. Otherwise, would they have said that it would exceed 5 billion in three years?
Some people are crazy about Tang An's statement, and some people are dismissive of it, but no one dares to diss him, except for some marketing accounts who are desperate for traffic.
