The movies released on Christmas Eve almost always open in the afternoon. Although the time is uncertain, the difference is not much different.
So the next day, that is, at 4 pm on December 25, an organization listed the first-day box office, including the pre-sale box office.
Ranked first: "Dumpling Detective" 321 million.
Ranked No. 2: "Lucky Star of the Immortal" Ranked No. 3: "Emperor Conquers the Demons" In addition to these three previously confirmed hits, there is also a romantic drama that will also exceed 100 million.
Four movies have grossed over 100 million yuan, with the first one even reaching over 300 million yuan. This year’s Christmas season is considered the most prosperous in recent years, and it also gives a good start to the upcoming New Year’s Day and Lunar New Year seasons.
Compared with the relatively good results at the box office, the reputation of several movies is relatively not that outstanding.
"Lucky Star" starring Yue Longgang only scored 5.9 points, 0.1 points shy of passing the mark.
In fact, speaking of it, the rating of this movie is slightly unfair. From the perspective of a comedy movie, this movie is quite funny.
There may be some errors and omissions in the plot details, logic, and even some bugs. The protagonist Yue Longgang is not a professional film actor, and some of his performances are still jerky and even a little awkward.
But the overall shortcomings are not concealed. Several famous Vs said that they heard a lot of laughter from the audience in the theater. It is obvious that everyone likes this movie.
They feel that the movie "Lucky Star" should not be so low, and the real level should be around 6.2~6.5.
This statement has been recognized by many people, especially some fans of Yue Longgang and ordinary viewers.
Frankly speaking, Yue Longgang has participated in many movies in recent years, including leading roles and supporting roles, but I don’t know if De Fengshe is incompatible with the five elements of the film and television industry. Like his master Guo Banzhu, he has acted in film and television dramas.
The street probability is extremely high.
Of course, Yue Longgang is better than his master.
Guo Banzhu's success rate is over 95%, while Yue Longgang's is only between 70 and 80%. He has produced a few viable film and television works, otherwise he would not be the male lead in the movie.
But even so, the outside world instinctively thinks that the quality of Yue Longgang's film and television works is poor, and their tolerance for production is extremely high.
On this basis, many viewers and fans were mentally prepared that this was a bad movie before entering the cinema. However, after watching it, they found that the movie was just okay, and the audience felt that it was a waste of money.
This is what I mean as long as I think badly enough in advance, I will find that life is full of surprises...
The last time Guo Banzhu starred in "The Legend of Jigong" he played this trick, and this time his apprentice also took advantage.
In a sense, the two masters and apprentices have been scolded as bad film professionals for several years, and now they can be regarded as having experienced bitterness first and then sweetness.
No matter how you say "Immortal Lucky Star", its reputation is almost passable, but "Emperor's Conquering Demons" is different.
The reputation of a well-known comedy director in Hong Kong and many veteran Hong Kong artists did not save this movie.
After the release, the initial rating was 3.9. Now, in less than a day, it has dropped to 3.4, and it is still falling. All the viewers who have watched the movie below have all given negative reviews.

[I don’t understand what I’m saying, acting awkwardly]
[An insincere money scam]
[Three hair special effects]

Among them, the most popular comment was from a currency website UP host who specializes in making vicious comments about movies and TV shows. He is also half a film critic. After watching the movie this time, he posted a message on his currency website.
"I had a bad premonition when I saw the trailer of the movie "Empire: Conquer the Demons" before. At that time, I told fans in the comment area that the style was a bit like that of an Internet celebrity.
Now that I came out of the cinema, I thought I had to apologize to the Internet. Why should the Internet take the blame for this kind of movie?
Not to mention those high-quality Internet companies, but those ordinary Internet companies. Even if the overall plot is not good, there are still one or two bright spots in the movie.
As for this "The Imperial Capital Conquers Demons", I didn't see any plot, lines, or even scenes that made my eyes shine from beginning to end.
To say it is like an Internet movie is an insult to those Internet movie developers whose costs, actors, and production teams are far inferior to those of "The Demons in the Capital".
When I look back, it would be more fun to spend the dozens of dollars on toilet paper to tear it up and play with it than to watch this movie..."
This evaluation is too poisonous!
The damage to "Emperor Conquers the Demons" has been completely ruined. Coupled with the already plummeting reputation rating, it can be predicted that starting from tomorrow, the box office of this movie will plummet.
If you are lucky, you may be able to collect 200 million by cheating. Otherwise, it is very likely that it will not even be able to survive the New Year's Day, because the box office has plummeted, the film schedule has been slashed, and it has been forced to withdraw early.

Of the three popular Christmas movies, one barely passed the mark in word-of-mouth, and one was criticized to the point of being dumped on the street. The remaining "Dumpling Detective" is considered to have the best score, with a score of 7.7.
This score is considered quite good by the outside world. Many new works by famous directors may not receive this score.
But then again, when it comes to scoring, sometimes you have to compare not only with others, but also with yourself.
As one of the top directors in the country, and can even be said to be the one with the strongest momentum, Zuo Le's works are talked about by countless audiences and regarded as classics. In addition to good ratings and box office results, the most important thing is that they also have a very good reputation.
Since the debut of "Underground Traffic Station" in 2016, none of Zuo Le's works has received a score lower than 8 points.
Today "Fruit Detective" broke his record!
This result caused an uproar outside the country, and "Dumpling Detective" 7.7 became the hottest topic during the Christmas season.
The reason why it caused such a big reaction is similar to what Yue Longgang did before.
The difference is that Yue Longgang's audience and fans have set a very low bottom line for his expectations, and are surprised and delighted by a slight improvement.
As for Zuo Le's fans and audiences, because of Zuo Le's unbeatable record in recent years, their expectations for his new work are very high.
Especially this summer, Zuo Le just released a drama called "Mao Liar", which has been viewed more than 10 billion and has national influence. The Douhua score is as high as 9.5 points, and it has entered the top ten of the TV series reputation list.
At this moment, the upper limit of expectations of audiences and fans for Zuo Le's new movie is directly comparable to those of those 9-point masterpiece comedy movies. The slightly calmer ones are also aiming for a box office hit of 2 to 4 billion.
They walked into the theater with such high expectations, but found that the quality of the movie "Dumpling Detective" was not as high as they thought. This gap was enough to make many people feel disappointed.
The feedback that followed was that the rating of "Dumpling Detective" was slightly subjectively lowered.
Shanhe has made word-of-mouth estimates before. Objectively speaking, this movie should be able to reach between 8.0 and 8.2. With luck, maybe 8.1 to 8.3 may not be certain.

This is the label that many film critics and industry insiders have given to the movie "Dumpling Detective".
