Is the box office of "Love" worth looking forward to?

Without a doubt!

After the movie's schedule was finalized, major media in the industry have been looking forward to the "lover"'s holiday schedule. Based on internal news and word of mouth at the preview meeting, the expectations are generally rising. From a professional point of view in the industry, they are all Looking forward to the opening weekend of "The Lover", which can get around 300 million to 400 million box office data.

For a thriller/suspense movie, and for a movie that should be aimed at awards season in every way, the predicted numbers are already very gratifying.

Even amazing.

It can be seen from here that the media has confidence in the new combination of "Zhang Benqing VS Lu Qian", expecting them to explode the box office and bring more sparks to the film market.

As a result, "Love" did not disappoint. In the fierce competition of bayonet, it handed over 578 million box office data during its premiere weekend, which aroused exclamations and applause from major media——

The most incredible thing is that the premiere box office data of "Love" also officially surpassed the highest single-week weekend box office of "Unfriend", which is currently second only to "The Raid", becoming the second-highest weekend box office score of director Lu Qian's work.

Incredible!

So, does "lover" have the potential to surpass "unfriend"?

It's just an idea, and it's enough to drive the media reporters into madness. No one will forget Dong Ruixian and Zhang Benqing's expectations for "lover". This so-called "awards season work" is becoming a box office bomb?

amazing!

Even more terrifying!

There is "Mars Mission" before, and "Love" after, this year's awards season is really slowly getting interesting——

Although works with outstanding artistic value are the soul of the awards season, no one can deny that works with outstanding commercial value are the magic weapon to attract audiences.

However, although--

Can "Love" surpass "Jedi Knight" at the weekend box office?

Absurd!

Of course not.

From the subject matter to the positioning, from the works to the propaganda, from any angle, this is impossible, even funny——

Not angry or angry, just funny.

What's more, the numbers already prove it, don't they? Three weeks after its release, "Jedi Knight", whose box office decline is still controlled within 40%, seems to be an insurmountable mountain, lying in front of all competitors.

There is no need to imagine, and the follow-up development can be accurately predicted according to the normal development context analysis:

In the first week of the new year, "Jedi Knight" entered the fourth week, "Love" entered the second week, and the weekend box office numbers of both works will inevitably usher in a decline——

This is the normal development curve of a movie.

Then, even if the decline of "Love" is well controlled and its performance is slightly lower than that of "Jedi Knight", the gap between the two weekend box office figures in the previous week is still there, and it is still an irreparable gap, which also means that, The "Jedi" will narrowly complete the feat of four consecutive championships.

Subsequent box office trends are still the same.

The continuous dominance of "Jedi Knight" should wait for the impact of the next new release, and the champion of the global weekend box office chart may change hands.

However, don't forget that January, the cold winter, is one of the lowest box office performances in the whole year. Coupled with the influence of the awards season, there are often not many works that are willing to choose this time period, which also means that there is a lack of strong competitor-

The possibility of the "Jedi Knight" winning six or even seven consecutive championships is rising.

Everyone is paying attention to "The Lover", and people in the industry are also amazed at the box office numbers, but "Jedi Knight" should still be able to continue its rule.

After all, the film's dominance has continued from its premiere, and it doesn't see any signs of abating.

However--

First week of January, global weekend box office charts.

Champion, "Love".

Runner-up, "Jedi".

Wait, what? Is it blinding?

Take a closer look, refresh, refresh, and the result is still the same. Then, all the media went crazy, and an incredible roar broke out:

This, what happened?

Simply put, "Love" happens.

After the premiere weekend, "Love" detonated heated discussions on social networks——

The "dog blood" and "drama" that many film critics despised and scorned are the most popular popcorn blockbusters.

And who can refuse to watch a "Tear/Force War" on a holiday weekend?

On the one hand, in response to the behavior choices of Wang Si and Ai Qing, different audiences began to express their own positions, supporting one party and complaining about the other party.

But the point is that the melon eaters looked at the two factions with curiosity, "Isn't the two people at the end of the movie 'reconciled' again?"

On the other hand, both "tourists" and "lovers" can be seen in the cinema at the same time. The hot topic brought by the "Marriage Series" has thrown a blockbuster among young people, and everyone began to discuss the movie's point of view and own opinions.

The melon eaters drank melon seeds and drank milk tea. "In fact, all the most active people are unmarried people, because the real married people are already on their knees."

Interesting, really interesting.

The film's own hot topic effect, thanks to the existence of Lu Qian and Zhang Benqing, completely detonated the Internet, but Zhang Benqing's miraculous performance was pushed to the back, and the discussion about the film spread mightily, easily. Beyond "Jedi" energy.

As a result, "Love" not only topped the hot search list twice at different times, allowing the masses of melon eaters to see the surging enthusiasm of netizens; but also officially reached the top of the popular movie in less than 48 hours after its release. The champion of the list, squeezed the "Jedi Knight" to the second position——

The reelection has continued for five consecutive days, and the curve continues to heat up, with no end in sight.

buzzing.

The discussion can't stop at all.

If "Jedi Knight" is a movie fan's carnival, fans of the series for more than 30 years gathered together ~www.readwn.com~ to explode with incredible energy, and eventually evolved into a cultural trend phenomenon.

Then "lover" is a party of social issues, and the discussion about marriage has become the focus of attention. Even passers-by who have no interest in the movie are involuntarily involved in it.

After all, marriage is part of most people's lives.

Then, it just happened.

On the one hand, "Jedi Knight" finally showed a decline after three consecutive weeks of strong performance. The weekend box office dropped by as much as 53.1%, and finally returned to the normal track.

On the one hand, the next week's box office of "Love" was boosted by holidays, handing over an incredible answer sheet, and the decline was controlled at an incredible 19.6% figure.

The previous week, there was still a huge gap in the weekend box office of the two films; this week, between one plus and one minus, a counterattack appeared.

"Love" officially overtook "Jedi Knight" and was crowned the champion of the global movie weekend box office chart, continuing the unbeaten record since Lu Qian was born.

An uproar!
