Time editorial department | hidden drinking movies to cure life.
December has come, and winter has arrived.
It’s hard to wait for Avatar: The Way of Water to be booked. This week, the box office of mainland cinemas fell to the historical freezing point in two years.
According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, less than 40% of the national cinemas were still open on November 29th, and the operating rate dropped to 36%, with only 4,506 cinemas operating nationwide.
On November 30th, the mainland box office was 5.24 million, which was the lowest value in a single day since the epidemic resumed work (July 20th, 2020), and less than 1,500 cinemas resumed business at the beginning of the resumption of work.
Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, the box office in November was only 568 million yuan, and the number of people watching movies in the whole month was less than 15 million, which was about 70% lower than that in the same period last year, and probably fell to the lowest level in April this year (566 million yuan).
Avatar: The Way of Water is undoubtedly a powerful medicine for cinemas eager for blockbusters.
Thirteen years ago, "Avatar" by "Ka Shen" created an unprecedented box office miracle in the mainland. Now, will his box office appeal be unmatched?
According to the convention, it is usually necessary to reach about 80% of the cinema business rate, and about 10,000 cinemas are opened, which is the basis to support the film sales.
Number of cinemas nationwide operating on November 29th.
This year’s best-selling blockbusters in summer and National Day files are supported by such business rates.
Can "Card God" Save the Market? This is really an unknown number.
However, the premise of "saving the market" is that the cinema can open the door smoothly.
It’s only half a month before the release of Avatar: The Way of Water. If the epidemic prevention and control tends to be stable and the operating rate of cinemas increases gradually, this blockbuster may help the mainland film market get out of the dark and complete the bottoming out.
Today, Time Jun summarized a film list of mainland cinemas in December.
I hope that the cinema can survive this "cold winter" smoothly, and I also hope that more viewers can watch the movies they want smoothly!
