#3 Boonie Bears:Future Reborn +$3.78M -> $87.00M cumulative #6 Legend of the Condor Heroes +$1.04M -> $85.73M cumulative
The lead will widen in the coming days. In the end because of poor Douban score (5.3/10), LoCH is unlikely to pull in more than $10M internationally. Boonie Bears can easily surpass LoCH domestic + international box office in a few more days!
5.3/10 -- that's DESPITE all the fake AI-generated rosy reviews written by crazed fanbois to deny real reviewers their thoughts. If we ignore these failed and feeble attempts to prop up the ratings, actual score should be 4.5/10 or in that ballpark!
Insiders were predicting a lifetime gross of CNY 3 billion for LoCH movie. What a butt joke! (Plus the cheating of fudging with the presales numbers to make it rank #1.)
In this end this move will fare no better at the BO than the typical (old age) Jackie Chan movie. RoCH is my favorite story. I despise all other JY stories. Director abandoned RoCH movie half way to chase the filthy lucre with LoCH and XZ. In the end LoCH movie probably will fare no better or slightly worse at the BO than the never finished RoCH.
Typical dumb dumbs think JY is a cash cow just rehash the same sh1t as on TV dramas and the cash will flow in... Nezha 2 just shows you have to deliver a new experience on old story in order to be successful. Some smart guy should just come and be like Nezha1/2 put a Sci Fi twist to JY stories. They already did with Purple River where the anime is set in Tolkien type fantasy Middle Earth but iQiYi came along and made the plot abandoned on a distant planet trying to get back to home on Earth!
There should be fighter spaceships duking it out in JY universe NOT warriors riding on horses...
It's funny, GlobalTimes (Chinese news channel in English language) went all gaga over Creation of the Gods II…
Nezha looked kool with twin jet-engine exhausts/flames coming out of his soles in Part I. Now, it don't cut it no more. (If you've been following recent Chinese advances in fighter jets) to look kool now requires emitting THREE streams of jet exhaust not two.
It's funny, GlobalTimes (Chinese news channel in English language) went all gaga over Creation of the Gods II on the 29/30th. Now they don't even mention it at all.
When posting the latest box office figures on Jan 31, only Nezha 2 and Detective Chinatown 1900 were mentioned on GlobalTimes.
I speculate the author actually went to see the movie, then it left a bad taste in his mouth. So he decided to mention only the Top 2 performers in his news article as endorsing the #3 movie means inviting flak from his readers who went to watch it afterwards!
(That's like this person won gold, that person won silver, but who cares about the guy who won bronze!)
Myself, after having watched the BTS video from Creation of the Gods I, I was shocked how it's actually a White man's production employing only Chinese director/actors/actresses. All the SFX and technical stuff were done in consultation with White ppl from Hollywood! There was no Chinese expert working on this movie. Only Chinese ppl who kowtowed to Westerners for their expertise and made them their literal bosses. In other words, at its heart, this wasn't even a purely Chinese/domestic movie!
So far, didn't make it to Top 3: Nezha 2 (#1), Detective Chinatown 1900 (#2), Creation of the Gods II (#3). You…
#3 Creation of the Gods II made almost 50% as much box office as LoCH movie on CNY. LoCH movie also only earned 50% as much as the #1 Nezha 2.
LoCH was actually leading in presale figures prior to CNY. This leads me to think presale figures for LoCH were counterfeit with fake reservations made by home team.
Jin Yong is dead. Wuxia is dead. Time will tell just how far LoCH falls behind #3 Creation of Gods II in box office figures!
BTW, sorry to disappoint wuxia fans. This wasn't even filmed as a wuxia genre...https://movie.douban.com/review/16457197/"The…
LOL. Sour grape much? Sounds like u don't even know what wuxia is... It's primarily martial arts moves enhanced by SFX. When you trying to portray Douluo Continent or STAR WARS in a Wuxia works, you know something went awfully wrong in the planning/visuals department!
I think it was an "in" joke that if they tried to pull a xianxia with another actor, they'd get a lot of flak for it. But since it's XZ, you know wink wink MC from Duoluo Continent S1 TV drama, they could get away with pulling off cheesy CGI Douluo fights for the LoCH movie...
So far, didn't make it to Top 3: Nezha 2 (#1), Detective Chinatown 1900 (#2), Creation of the Gods II (#3). You…
Remember, on Douban ppl trashed director Wuershan with the same kinds of comments for Under One Person (2024) movie. In the end those comments were dead on accurate!
So far, didn't make it to Top 3: Nezha 2 (#1), Detective Chinatown 1900 (#2), Creation of the Gods II (#3). You…
@Misnomers
You the clown.
Box office figures for CNY 2025 denied LoCH movie a top 3 spot. Plus as another reviewer pointed out above movie seems to have received marginally more ratings than the number of tickets sold.
Thankfully, there are only 2 BIG cheaters in CN box office figures/fake positive reviews: Zhang Yimou, and !
"Now fans control reviews and give high scores. For those who give low scores in the comments, fans will generate movie reviews through AI and post them on the screen. I even suspect that there may be no score in the short term. The Douban score that is now available can be "manipulated" by fans. A low score will affect the box office, and a high score will be unfair. The data next door is only tens of thousands, and this movie with 100,000+ ratings is far from being on the hot list, which is outrageous... I don't know if the real score of this movie will refresh the lower limit of Douban's score... At least for me, it should be considered one of the ugliest movies I have ever seen in my life...
Your brother is not wrong, the director is wrong🐶"
"The martial arts of Jianghu become special effects display, sometimes it is the air shield of Star Wars, sometimes it is the release of martial spirit of Douluo Continent, it's a pity for Mr. Tony Leung's acting skills."
"The control of comments really disgusts me, a bunch of shit, let foreigners shoot this shoe movie in the future, you people don't respect Jin Yong's IP, you just want to launder money, go to hell, a bunch of stupid dogs."
"The male lead's acting is so bad that even Tsui Hark couldn't teach him to do it. It's a shame for the film industry to have such an actor. He frowns and glares, and his lines are unclear. He doesn't fit the image of Guo Jing in my mind. He's so ugly. How did such a person get into the entertainment industry? He should just go home and farm. It's really an insult to the audience's eyes. The plot is a mess, the rhythm is not good, there is no logic, it's simply incomprehensible, the set-up is dirty and messy, the fighting scenes are slow, and the special effects are cheap. It's completely a martial arts romance film. I'm speechless from beginning to end. It's too outrageous. It's a waste of money and time. Avoid it. It's a big bad movie"
Why oh why didn't I helm a Boonie Bears movie instead?

Be funny if JY was overtaken by fuzzy bears on the silver screen. Lends the impression that wuxia is dead end for lucre-chasing...

Wuershan the hack director that made Under One Person movie a flop now also ruined 2nd installment of Fengshen Trilogy!
"One of my friends went to watch Creation of the Gods 2 and he criticize and curse this movie for 4 hours now."
When posting the latest box office figures on Jan 31, only Nezha 2 and Detective Chinatown 1900 were mentioned on GlobalTimes.
