According to Chinese media, the movie Arctique Island has dropped significantly on the domestic box office chart, after only 3 days in theaters.
The film's box office revenue on the first day of release was 69 million yuan, favored with more than 30% of screenings and mainly Golden time, but the market share of revenue only accounted for about 20%.
The accumulated revenue in the first 2 days of "Artic Island" only reached 139 million yuan, completely inferior to the movie "N givenh studio" and the cartoon "Nobody".
According to this trend, "Arctic Island" is unlikely to surpass the 500 million yuan revenue mark, while the production cost is up to 570 million yuan. If including the costs of distribution, communication... it is estimated that the work may suffer a loss of up to 380 million yuan.
Once expected to be a "summer black code" with a cast of famous actors (Ngo Loi, Chu Nhat Long, Nghe Ni...) and a huge investment, "Dao Dong Cuc" is facing the risk of becoming a " box office disaster".
Artic Island is based on a historical story that took place during World War II. In the waters near China's Zhou Zhon archipelago, a Japanese ship carrying more than 1,800 British prisoners was in distress and the prisoners were trapped inside the ship's holdings.
Fishermen on the Arctic island decided to rescue the British soldiers and protect the three soldiers during the Japanese army's search.
Two months before the film was released, Ngo Loi's appearance caused a fever on social networks. The image of the actor wrapping around his eyes and showing off his broken body with dark black skin has made an impression.
In the past three years, Ngo Loi has played the main role in two modern romance films Love at All (with Chau Vu Dong) and In the midst of a snowstorm (with Trieu Kim Mach) but both of them have lacked explosions.
Many opinions said that Ngo Loi was constantly criticized for taking on this genre because of her immature face and unimpressive appearance. On the other hand, Ngo Loi's acting is considered forced, especially in the way she expresses her feelings for the female lead.
Therefore, when the trailer for "Arctic Island" was released, Ngo Loi's new image made the audience expect this to be a work that helped him break through. The actor also practiced a lot to improve his appearance and suit the role. However, the results were not as expected.
According to 163, the biggest problem of the "Artic Island" is the excessive transformation.
In fact, it was the fishermen with kindness and wildness who bravely rescued the British prisoners. But the director turned them into cold people, only as a background and needed 3 foreign characters (Chu Nhat Long, Ngo Loi, Nghe Ni) to teach and lead them against the Japanese army.
The final battle of the film is so dramatic that it turned the film into an American superhero blockbuster. However, these grandly constructed scenes are not suitable for the theme of the film to be conveyed.
