The mainland film market in 2009 was a record-breaking year. In the past, it was rare for a movie to exceed 100 million yuan. This year, more than ten movies have achieved a box office of more than 100 million yuan in the mainland. Among them, "Transformers 2: Rising Stars" has a box office of 422.9 million yuan.
It is temporarily the same as "Oldboy" which was released for a week.
The 60th anniversary gift film "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" directed by Han Sanye followed closely with 419.92 million yuan. "October Siege" and "The Wind" invested by Dream Chaser both achieved good results of more than 200 million yuan.
However, none of their films are as good as the results achieved by "Oldboy" in one week. This year, the Chinese film industry is destined to be dominated by Shao Shuaijun.
The producers and distributors of "The Tomb Raider" and "The Wind and Cloud 2" were originally scheduled to be released on December 9, as well as "Three Guns", which was released on December 11. They all cried out. You said Shao Shuaijun, you will come back.
Come back, ours is a big production anyway, you can just make a youth film that costs less than 20 million, so what if there are schedule conflicts.
As a result, a youth film that cost less than RMB 20 million earned more than RMB 400 million in one week. What kind of trouble is this? Are you going to let people live?
The movie tickets for several movies have been pre-sold, and I can’t change the schedule even if I want to.
"2012", which was previously released in China, was directed by director Roland Emmerich, a professional disaster film company. Columbia Pictures invested more than 200 million US dollars in the disaster blockbuster, and it took over 300 million yuan in box office in just half a month.
.Whether it is the distributors China Film and Television, or the investor Sony Columbia, they all happily believe that if the movie breaks through 400 million yuan, it will not be a problem to win the annual championship.
However, "Oldboy" has just been released, and "2012" has shrunk like a plunge. It only received a pitiful box office of less than 10 million yuan this week, and even the 350 million yuan box office was missed. Recently, there has been a dispute between Summit Entertainment and Sony.
The copyright negotiations for Spider-Man are not going well. This is a small revenge for Shao Shuaijun. At least "2012" will earn 100 million less at the box office.
If you include South Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia, the losses suffered by "2012" are even more serious.
Another high-profile blockbuster, "Avatar", has been acquired by Taisheng Culture. Now the person in charge of Taisheng Culture is said to be burning incense at home because they originally decided to follow the trend and release it in December, but then they thought about it.
I thought about it and scheduled the movie to be released on January 4th next year.
Now it seems that it is definitely a wise decision. Bodhisattva bless me.
Some are happy and some are sad. "Old Boy" continues to wreak havoc in Asia. After South Korea and Japan successively reported news of reaching the summit, news of reaching the summit also came from Malaysia.
The box office record for Chinese-language movies in Malaysia was held by last year's "Yangtze River 7" directed by Zhou Xingxing, with a total box office of US$3.69 million. Now, "Oldboy" has an unrivaled momentum, not only winning the next week's championship, but also directly winning the box office.
to $2.4 million.
This figure has surpassed Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" with 2.37 million US dollars, and has squeezed into the top three Chinese-language films in Malaysia, second only to "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Fearless" starring Jet Li, with 2.54 million US dollars. Wait until "Old Man"
"Boy" is released, it will not be difficult to refresh the box office figures in Malaysia.
"Shao Shuaijun is here again, a miracle Chinese director, Southeast Asia is his back garden! "33 Days After Love", "Painted Skin", "Inception", he will not leave unless he takes away enough box office from Southeast Asia!
"——"Sin Chew Daily".
“It’s time for Chinese films to rise again in Malaysia!”——Nanyang Siang Pau.
Immediately following the news from Malaysia, there was news from Singapore. "Oldboy" successfully topped the box office weekly championship in Singapore. With 1.95 million Singapore dollars, which is 9.33 million yuan, it strongly squeezed the space of all movies, including Sony.
"2012" was basically painted from Singapore.
Singapore is almost a country of Chinese people, and the taste is naturally the same as that of the Chinese. Disaster movies are quite new to watch, but after watching them, they are just that, and there is nothing worth remembering. Previously, the Chinese film market in Singapore was basically Cheng Long.
, Star Master, Jet Li's World, Star Master's "Kung Fu" maintains the championship record with 4.2 million Singapore dollars.
"Oldboy" doesn't know if it can break this record.
"I hope the Stick Brothers can achieve good results in Singapore. The victory of Chinese directors is always better than Hollywood's random food here." - "The Straits Times".
After the success in Singapore, good news also came from the Thai box office, which took in 20 million baht, or about 4.23 million yuan, in the first week, setting a new record for the opening week of a Chinese-language film in Thailand. Of course, the previous box office record for a Chinese-language film in Thailand was "Kung Fu"
” of 70 million baht, it is still unknown whether “Oldboy” can break this record after it is finished.
"Another witness to the friendship between China and Thailand, "Oldboy" sold 2,000 baht in its first week nationwide, which is the best result for a Chinese-language film. Thai films have in-depth cooperation with Dream Chaser Golden Harvest, and we look forward to more and more Chinese-language films entering Thailand.
We look forward to Dream Chaser helping more Thai films enter the Chinese market." - "World Journal".
"The only one who can compete with Hollywood is Shao Shuaijun. He is optimistic about "Oldboy", but Chinese-language films as a whole are still speechless in Thailand." - "Siam Daily".
No matter how you evaluate this movie, whether you are looking forward to the rise of Chinese-language films, or you are not optimistic about the rise of Chinese-language films.
The storm of "Oldboy" has set sail, and it is destined to represent Chinese-language films and hit all records.
The task falls on Shao Shuaijun's shoulders.
After competing with Wu Yusen for hegemony in Japan and South Korea, Shao Shuaijun began to compete with Zhou Xingxing again in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
At the same time, good news came from Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh and other places. "Oldboy" topped the weekly championship. However, in India, Pakistan and the Middle East, after "Oldboy" was released,
, the response was mediocre. The Indian and Pakistani markets are the graveyard of Chinese-language films, and there have been no successful cases in the past. This time "Oldboy" was the mainstay of Dream Chase South Asia Entertainment, but it also failed.
Due to issues of beliefs and customs, the Middle East and other places are not places where a theme like "Old Boy" can succeed. Of course, success or failure is not important. In these places, the copyrights are sold directly, so it doesn't matter if you take more or less.
Asia has gone full circle and returned to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Oldboy" in Baodao is just like in the Mainland, all the data that can be refreshed are refreshed again. From Monday to Sunday, the single-day box office in Beijing City was 15.6 million, 18.54 million, 20.01 million, 20.13 million, 21.58 million, and 28.97 million respectively.

In the first week, it accumulated NT$210 million in Taiwan, setting a record for the best opening weekend box office in the history of Taiwan.
"Shao Shuaijun, who had no chance of winning the Golden Horse Award, entered Taiwan with "Oldboy" with great momentum. It took in NT$210 million in the first week, rewriting the pattern of Chinese-language films in Baodao. We call on Baodao filmmakers to make good movies.
market, but the treasure island has fallen, and this is where Hollywood blockbusters dominate. Now, we can only hope that Chinese-language films, led by the mainland, will regain lost ground." - reported in the pro-mainland China Times.
"Shao Shuaijun, who insulted the Golden Horse Award, entered the Baodao film market with "Oldboy". This is a premeditated cultural assimilation invasion from the mainland. The Baodao authorities' policy of inaction and non-intervention will definitely make the journey of Baodao's liberalization a hundred times more difficult.
, calling on Taiwanese audiences to boycott the invasion of "Oldboy."" - a sharp attack from the "Liberty Times", which has always been anti-mainland.
"Baodao Distributor has cooperated too much with Dream Chaser. A batch of Treasure Island movies, including Eight Knives' "Those Years", have been promoted by Dream Chaser. Now Dream Chaser has finally exposed the mainland government's
Conspiracy to invade the culture of "Oldboy", and the publisher of Baodao is an accomplice!" - "Apple Daily", a subsidiary of Hong Kong's Next Media, has settled in Baodao very early, and it is also anti-mainland.
"'Oldboy' has won the favor of Taiwanese audiences with its nostalgic dream concept." - The neutral "United Daily News" reported fairly.
No matter how much the media in Baodao clamor, the audience in Baodao is very enthusiastic. Many people don't care about the government, but are more concerned about whether the movie is good or not. Today, Time.com has become the largest Chinese film exchange website in Asia, and countless Baodao netizens are

After the fall of Treasure Island, Hong Kong is not much better. As the home base of Dream Golden Harvest, almost half of the movie theaters in Dream Golden Harvest have been purchased by Dream Golden Harvest. Some of the movie theaters under Dream Golden Harvest even have only one "Oldboy"
