The summer season is really heating up.

Several movies released this week are still very popular, including some popular domestic films and some Hollywood blockbusters that are likely to become a hit in North America.

All in all, it’s a particularly busy week for theater movies.

Of course, let’s still take a look at the situation of the movies in theaters.

Catch the Doll

July 16



The film was said to be released on the 16th, but it had already been screened on a large scale starting on the 13th, which happened to be over the weekend, and the pre-sales + advance screenings brought in a huge amount of box office revenue.

So, before it was officially released, the box office had already earned three or four hundred million yuan.

it is also fine.



Of course, this also shows from another perspective that the popularity of this film is really high. After all, the popularity of Shen Teng + Ma Li, as well as Happy Twist, is still quite high. As a popular entertainment film in the summer season, this film deserves more attention.



So, you can also learn about the plot summary from Douban official:

A poor father, a hard-working mother, a shabby yard, and a broken man. How did the Ma family fall behind on the road to becoming bigger and stronger in Xihong City? !

Ma Chenggang (played by Shen Teng) and Chunlan (played by Ma Li), who have no money in their pockets and no money in their soup, drive donkeys to work and have nothing at home.

But as Xiao Ma grows up, he gradually finds that people around him are getting more and more wrong...



Friends who are interested can still go and have a look.

"tornado"

July 19



Another popular movie this week is a Hollywood blockbuster. However, judging from the current box office performance of Hollywood movies in mainland theaters, it seems that the box office situation may not be particularly good.

However, the media reviews in North America are still good. Now the North American freshness is 79%, with a score of 7.1. Although North American critics also believe that this kind of Hollywood blockbuster does not have much new ideas and is a bit old-fashioned overall. However, there are still many reviews that this movie is still very qualified as a super blockbuster in the summer season, and it has also reached the height of the first one.

Therefore, friends who like to watch disaster movies or Hollywood blockbusters can still go and watch this one.



You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

Recruited by her friend Harvey (Anthony Ramos), she returns to the outdoors to test a groundbreaking new system for chasing winds. There, she meets super-influencer Tyler Owens (Glen Powell). Reckless and charismatic, Tyler leads a team of storm chasers and broadcasts their experiences online. The more exciting the storm, the more excited they are.

"your name."

Yes, Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name." is back again. It had very good box office results in mainland China, with sales of nearly 600 million yuan. It's only been a few years, and it's going to be re-released.

Moreover, this summer, several popular movies will be re-screened. There is no other way. Although the summer season has come, there are not enough movies to support it. They can only be re-screened repeatedly. This is the current situation.

At the same time, you can also check out the Douban reputation list for the week. Let's take a look at what new movies have made the list this week.

【Weekly Word of Mouth Ranking】

1.Pig at the Crossroads



I knew about this movie because I saw a bunch of people posting promotional posters for a movie that was not shortlisted for major film festivals. Of course, this marketing method is quite stupid, because this statement is meaningless, after all, too many movies have never been shortlisted or have been rejected by major film festivals.

However, it can also be used as a promotional point.



Judging from the reviews of the film, it actually seems to be okay. Although the number of people who rated it on Douban is not particularly large, it still has a high score of 8.2 and is ranked first on Douban Movie's weekly reputation list.

Finally, here is the plot summary from Douban:

DOLOM, a 29-year-old passionate YouTube creator and new Bhutanese school teacher, has a one-night stand with DEKI, a 32-year-old married woman. When she discovers she is pregnant, Dolom hatches a plan to cover up the affair and save his reputation. On his way to reunite with Deki, Dolom gets into a motorcycle accident and wakes up in a strange and confusing world.

He slowly realizes that he is, in fact, dead. With the help of a mysterious guide, Dolom travels through this in-between state, confronting his storied past and the consequences of his actions. As time collapses around him, he must choose to correct his mistakes and let go of his attachment to his past self, or be trapped in the dreamlike in-between state, seeking eternity.



3.Dear Gloria



This is also one of the more popular non-theatrical films in recent times. The film has been to Cannes and last year's Pingyao International Film Festival, and also won the jury honor of the Rossellini Award.

It is a children's film with good reviews. Friends who like it can still pay attention to it.



You can also find out the plot summary from Douban:

Cleo is only six years old and she is madly in love with her nanny, Gloria, who has been raising her. But Gloria must urgently return to Cape Verde to be with her children. Before she leaves, Cleo asks her to keep a promise: to see her again as soon as possible. So Gloria invites her to spend one last summer on her island with her family.



8.Traveler's Needs



This is a new film directed by Hong Sang-soo, and this time he is working with Isabelle Huppert again. He went to the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year and won the Silver Bear Jury Award.

It was later screened at the Beijing Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Festival, and I guess many of you have seen it. Of course, now there are other channels to watch it, so it has become more popular.



From Douban's plot synopsis:

Iris, a French traveler, works as a French tutor in South Korea to earn a living. The language barrier makes her communication with her students feel dislocated. The "chronic disease" of East Asian culture that is not good at thinking and expressing inner feelings is intertwined with the desire for communication and openness, triggering the special loneliness and melancholy that only foreign travelers can feel.



That’s about it, probably.

Friends who are interested can still find one of the videos to watch, maybe there will be a surprise.

Finally, here is the complete list of Douban’s reputation rankings for the week:
