Da Wan News: In the 32nd week of 2024 (August 5-11), the national movie box office for the week was 983 million yuan, the summer movie box office exceeded 9 billion yuan, and the annual movie box office totaled 30.915 billion yuan. On the afternoon of the 12th, the 22nd 3 billion+ movie in Chinese film history was born.

"Catching Dolls" has grossed over 2.9 billion yuan, showing a long-tail effect, and won the championship with a weekly box office of 308 million yuan, becoming the first in the number of moviegoers in 2024. According to Maoyan Movie Professional Edition data, at around 17:10 on August 12, on the 28th day of its official release, the cumulative box office of "Catching Dolls" reached 3 billion yuan, becoming the 22nd movie in Chinese film history to have a box office of 3 billion+.

"Catching Dolls" has been leading the box office since its preview on July 13, only briefly giving way to "Reverse Life" and "White Snake: Floating Life" on August 9 and August 10. After August 11, it continued to wear the "yellow leader jersey" and lead the single-day box office in the summer season. The new film "Reverse Life" won the second place with a weekly box office of 167 million, and the new film "White Snake: Floating Life" ranked third with a weekly box office of 137 million. The Douban scores of the two new films are 6.9 and 7.1 respectively. Overall, the market response of Chen Sicheng's "Decryption" and Xu Zheng's "Reverse Life" was not as expected. "White Snake: Floating Life" is expected to follow a better box office trajectory among the new films with the reputation of the two previous works, and "Negative Negatives Make Positive" starring Zhu Yilong currently seems to have barely exceeded 100 million.

As of August 11, the 2024 summer season has accumulated a box office of 9.228 billion. There are still 20 days until the end of the summer season. The new films worth looking forward to include "Alien: Resurrection", "Rebirth" starring Nick Cheung and Ethan Ruan, "Hedgehog" directed by Gu Changwei, and "The Wandering Earth" starring Shen Teng. A 10 billion summer season is not a problem. Da Wan News reporter Jiang Nannan
