  No hits have been seen for more than half of the summer file

  The first half of this year’s summer archives are abundant in numbers and genres. There are more than 50 films in the summer archives from July to August. The types include dramas, youth films, war films, national comics, police films, etc.

However, under the lively appearance of the schedule, the overall film market has not seen a situation of multiple blockbuster competitions.

  Among the top films, the reality-themed movie "Chinese Doctor" released on July 9 has a cumulative box office of over 1.2 billion, becoming the only film with a box office of over 100 million in July, and the only summer file with over 1 billion at present. Film.

The four films released in July, "1921", "White Snake 2: The Green Snake Rise", "The Sky of Burning Youth", and "Revolutionary" all had a box office of less than 500 million.

According to the data of the Beacon Professional Edition, the overall box office in July was 3.228 billion, which was almost halved compared with the 5.75 billion box office in July 2019. The box office of the movie "1921" was nearly 500 million, and the animated film "White Snake 2: The Green Snake" Over 400 million, it is one of the most impressive movies at the box office.

  Judging from the number of movie viewers, there were only 84 million movie viewers in July this year, showing a downward trend compared with the 160 million movie viewers in July 2019.

At the beginning of August, the action film "Rage·Severe Case" starring Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse hit a hit. The box office broke 500 million in 10 days.

According to release news, the war movie "Changjin Lake" is 185 minutes long, which is more than 3 hours.

Judging from the story background of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the war scenes in the film, and the cast of Wu Jing, Yi Yang Qianxi, and Duan Yihong, the film was originally the most important domestic film in August. It was an extremely difficult decision for us to release it."
