As of October 31, 2017, the total box office in October closed at 5.135 billion yuan, which took 15 days to exceed the total box office score of 3.420 billion in October 2016. The cumulative number of people watching movies in the whole year was 1.386 billion, exceeding the number of people watching movies in 2016. The important reason why the box office performance is so excellent is based on the good box office performance of the National Day file this year. Among them, it won the National Day champion with 1.463 billion yuan, and the cumulative box office has reached 2.1 billion yuan; Then released and two imported blockbusters also have strong "gold absorption" ability. After the National Day file, fresh "blood" is injected every week, which makes the whole October movie market full of vitality.
Domestic films once again exert their strength to predict that the annual box office growth rate will return to double digits.
As of October 31st, the mainland box office closed at 5.135 billion yuan, up 72.49% from September this year and up 49.93% from last October. On October 1st, the highest single-day box office in October was 384 million yuan, an increase of about 100 million yuan over last year. The cumulative box office of China film market in 2017 has reached 47.881 billion yuan, and the total box office this year is expected to reach 55 billion yuan. According to this calculation, the box office growth rate of Chinese films will return to double-digit growth, exceeding 10%.
A total of 40 films were released this month, including 31 domestic films and 9 imported films. A total of 8 films have grossed over 100 million yuan, an increase of 2 over last month. Most domestic films were released in October, and performed well, with a total of 3.943 billion yuan, accounting for 76.79% of the total box office, of which 2.577 billion yuan was collected in the National Day file. High-quality domestic films also performed well after the schedule, and "Shameful Iron Fist" was still ranked in the top of the weekly box office list in the second week of October. Except for the two Hollywood blockbusters "Ace Agent 2: Golden Circle" and "Global Storm", the non-Hollywood Thai films were released for 10 days, with a box office of over 200 million yuan, with good reputation and remarkable achievements.
"Mahua FunAge" laughed till the end and became the largest ticket warehouse in Global Storm.
This month, "Shameless Iron Fist" won the monthly box office list without any suspense, and the cumulative box office reached 2.136 billion yuan on the first day of its release at the end of September, which not only became the third film to enter the "2 billion yuan box office club" this year, but also became the highest box office.
2D movies.
"Chasing the Dragon" achieved a counterattack with a good reputation. This month, it surpassed the popular film of the National Day file with a box office of 528 million, ranking second; Although the highly anticipated "Ace Agent: Golden Circle" ranks fourth in the monthly box office list, its word-of-mouth is not as good as the previous one, and it is difficult to catch up with the box office.
The Global Storm, which grossed only $13.7 million in the first week in North America, got a big turnaround in China. After being released for seven days, the mainland film market has become the largest ticket warehouse in the world, which is three times that of the first week in North America. The China market, which has a good reputation abroad, suffered a terrible defeat. This sci-fi film with a slight literary temperament made most viewers fail to get its point. More fans praised it, with a box office of $200 million in North America and less than 60 million in the mainland movie market, ranking at the bottom of the monthly TOP10.
The only co-produced film in the top ten is Jackie Chan, which has been in the second place for five days before it was released in the mainland, until it was overtaken by "Chasing the Dragon", with a cumulative box office of 535 million yuan. Although this film, which is not quite like Jackie Chan’s previous style, received a mediocre response in China, it earned $13.11 million (the third in North America) in the first weekend after it was released in North America, and the box office in North America is currently $29.39 million (195 million RMB). At the same time, the cumulative box office of the film in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other countries has reached nearly 7 million US dollars, and it has won the single-day box office champion in Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries for many days.
High attendance is the magic weapon to win, and high-quality viewing experience is more popular.
The TOP10 ranking of cinemas in this month has basically not changed much from that in September. Due to the rebound of box office in October, the box office of the top ten cinemas increased by about 50% on average compared with last month. In descending order, Guangdong Dadi Cinema and China Film Digital Cinema ranked in the top two, but their average number of people per theater did not reach 20. Although wanda cinema line ranked third, its average number of people per theater reached as many as 27, and its high attendance rate also became a major reason for its ranking first in cinema.
As of October 30th, the number of effective cinemas nationwide reached 8,638 this month, an increase of 103 compared with last month. The ranking of cinemas in October was also slightly different from that of last month. Among them, Wukesong Store of Beijing Yaolai Jackie Chan International Studios returned to the top of the list as the only cinema exceeding 10 million this month. In the case of an overall increase in the number of people watching movies in October, the number of people watching movies in Shanghai Paragon Studios (apm) decreased by 5.27% instead of increasing, which led to the ranking falling from the first place last month to the ninth place this month; Beijing Wanda Studios CBD store failed to make the list; IMAX Studios in Changying Street of Lumiere entered the list for the first time.
Among the top ten films this month, there are as many as seven IMAX films. We have noticed that the newly listed IMAX Studios in Changying Street of Lumiere reached 88,700 people this month, an increase of nearly 30,000 people over last month. In terms of ticket price, the average ticket price of this cinema in October is 52 yuan, which is 6 yuan lower than that in September, and compared with other IMAX cinemas in Beijing, such as Beijing Capital Cinema (54 yuan) and Beijing UME Studios Shuangjing Store (63 yuan), the ticket price is relatively low; On the other hand, this cinema is a relatively new one that has been in operation for two years, and the environment is comfortable. The representative cinemas are IMAX Hall and LD Dolby Panoramic Sound Hall. The comfortable viewing environment and cost-effective ticket prices may make this cinema a better choice for the audience to watch IMAX movies.
More than 100 million provinces have increased to 19 cities with four lines and below, and the box office has increased significantly.
In terms of regions, the number of provinces with over 100 million yuan this month increased from 10 in September to 19, and the box office of all provinces increased by more than 40%. Fujian Province fell from the 10th place last month to the 13th place this month, with Guangdong Province having the largest box office increase of 43%. Among the provinces that have newly joined the ranks of over 100 million yuan, Henan Province has the largest box office growth, accounting for 81.15 million yuan.
In terms of cities, although the box office of all levels of cities has increased, the proportion of first-tier cities has decreased by 5.33 percentage points compared with last month, and the proportion of box office in fourth-tier cities and other cities has increased significantly, nearly doubling the box office; The proportion of box office in second-and third-tier cities was basically the same as last month. Due to the joining of the National Day file this month, the number of migrant workers in first-tier cities has returned home, which has led to a decline in box office in first-tier cities, while the box office in fourth-tier cities and other cities has increased substantially, which is a normal phenomenon.
In October, it became the world of domestic films, and "Shameful Iron Fist" undoubtedly became the biggest winner. Although several imported films are slightly dim, in November, there will be classic films starring Johnny Depp and DC superhero films, which will set off a new wave of imported films.
