The Spring Festival box office exceeded 3 billion and temporarily ranked first in the world in 2023: "The Wandering Earth 2" 1 billion

According to Maoyan Professional Edition data, at 8:23 am on January 24, 2023, the total box office (including pre-sales) of the 2023 Spring Festival (January 21-January 27) exceeded 3 billion.

At the same time, thanks to the strong performance of the Spring Festival period, the cumulative box office of the Chinese film market in 2023 exceeded 3.64 billion (equivalent to US$536 million), surpassing the North American box office results, temporarily ranking first in the global single market box office.

At present, "The Wandering Earth 2", "Man Jiang Hong" and "Boonie Bears: Big Big Wolf" rank in the top three in the Spring Festival box office, among which "The Wandering Earth 2" has exceeded 1 billion yuan in box office.

"The Wandering Earth 2" has already started scoring on Douban, and currently still maintains a good score of 8.3 points , which is stronger than "Avatar 2". A total of 205,699 people have rated it, and 44.6% of them are five-star reviews.

Especially this time, the special effects have been improved. Director Guo Fan said in the program that the development of science and technology in China has enabled new technologies to be applied to the film industry, and the technical content of the second film far exceeds that of the first film. Guo Fan mentioned that he did not have much experience in "The Wandering Earth". In "The Wandering Earth 2", more than 3,000 special effects shots were completed this time, and there were about 1,000 small special effects on the face. The human face is the most difficult special effect to make.

In addition to the further improved special effects, the plot and structure are obviously stronger, better than the first one, and obviously richer than "Avatar 2", and its reputation has exploded.
