"Former 3" broke the 1.7 billion movie history, and the eighth "Don’t Ask West East" broke the word-of-mouth box office.

Ask nothing about the west and the east
Compared with last week’s market performance, this week’s box office trend of "Former 3" has returned to a stable level after a slight cooling. However, as an "old film" that has been released for three weeks, "Former 3" still maintained a strong performance of contributing nearly 70% of the box office output with a film schedule of about 40% in the first four working days of this week, and finally accounted for 460 million. Through a comprehensive re-release, the film accurately positioned the aesthetic orientation of the audience in third-and fourth-tier cities, the post-1995 group and some female consumers, which made "Former 3" an eye-catching achievement today. At present, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 1.76 billion, and it has successfully entered the TOP10 of the mainland film history, ranking eighth.
This week, another high-profile Chinese-language film, No Questions, West and East, was opened. Although it has been six years since the announcement of the filming to the release, the super-strong lineup composed of Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang zhen and Wang Leehom still makes people look forward to it. Based on the time clues of the history of Tsinghua University, this paper tells the life trajectories of different characters in different time and space, and reveals and sublimates the theme of good and evil and human nature. The story style of "Nothing to Ask about the West" is full of literary flavor.
On the first day of painting, the film ranked third in the box office list, and Douban scored 6.2. With the widespread discussion and word-of-mouth fermentation after the film was released, the score gradually rose to 7.4 points, ranking among the top films released in the same period. This change is also reflected in the first weekend box office performance of "Don’t Ask West East": the film finally attracted nearly 140 million yuan in three days, and the box office in a single day rose from the initial 35 million to 53 million.
The Brave Game attracted 250 million yuan in the first three days of the week, and then pressed Star Wars 8 in the mainland market.

Brave Game: Battle of the Jungle
As a classic work, The Brave Game: The Battle of the Jungle (hereinafter referred to as the Brave Game) is undoubtedly a great success. Previously, the film has taken the lead in painting in North America and many other countries and regions, and both box office and word-of-mouth have achieved a double harvest. In the face of its strong rival Star Wars: The Last Jedi (hereinafter referred to as Star Wars 8), The Brave Game has achieved counter-attacks in many major ticket warehouses around the world.
Coming to the mainland market is no exception: Star Wars 8, which just landed in the mainland cinema last week, did not have much room to play under the strong suppression of Previous 3, and its painting performance even set the worst result in this series in recent years. In addition, China audiences don’t have many "Star Wars" series complexes. Therefore, after the next week, even if the momentum of "Previous 3" slows down, Star Wars 8 has no improvement. At present, the cumulative box office has just passed 250 million, and it is expected that the total box office will hardly break through the 300 million mark.
On the other hand, "The Brave Game" occupied the first place in the single-day box office list after it was released on Friday. On the first day, it attracted nearly 78 million yuan (including zero point field), broke through 100 million yuan in a single day the next day, and recorded about 80 million yuan on Sunday. Only counting the box office of the first 3-day weekend, the 257 million Brave Game has surpassed its biggest rival, Star Wars 8, in the mainland market. At present, audience ratings of Douban, Cat’s Eye and Taobao Film are higher than the latter, and the final box office is expected to be higher than 500 million.
Week 3: Li Bingbing’s return to the tomb was touched.
There are many kinds of film works that will meet the mainland audience in the third week of 2018, and there are many excellent works with high reputation.

In 1980s, The True Color of Heroes, written by Chow Yun Fat and Leslie Cheung, not only made Hong Kong films an eternal classic, but also became a memory in the hearts of a generation. Now, this work has been restarted by director Sheng Ding again, and will be performed by Wang Kai, Ray Ma and Darren Wang in a new era. Will it satisfy the original fans? The answer will be found on January 18th. Li Bingbing, who hasn’t released a new film for a long time, this time cooperated with Chun Wu, the "frozen age male god", to bring a co-production film, which tells the thrilling exploration of the mysterious underground world by a professional search and rescue team with the ancient tomb as the background. The film will land in the mainland cinema on January 19th.
In terms of imported films, Aamir Hussain Khan, who just brought Indian films into the mainland audience’s field of vision with "Wrestling Dad" in 2017, completed an inspirational film with "Daughter". Only this time, the Olympic wrestling platform became the stage of singing contest. It remains to be seen whether Aamir Hussain Khan, who has turned into a "superstar", can be moved again. On the same day as Mysterious Superstar was released on January 19th, there was another warm-hearted work, Miracle Boy. The film has gained a high reputation since it was previously opened in North America. The experience of Ogi, a deformed boy, entering the society for the first time not only touched the people around him, but also taught everyone how to grow up.
