The total box office of the 2023 Dragon Boat Festival is 909 million yuan: the second highest in the same period in Chinese film history

According to preliminary statistics from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, the 2023 Dragon Boat Festival (June 22 to June 24) box office was 909 million yuan, ranking second in the Dragon Boat Festival box office in film history. The number of moviegoers was 22.49 million, and domestic films accounted for 80.08% of the box office. "Gone Girl", "I Love You!" and "Transformers: Rise of the Power Warriors" ranked the top three in the box office.

The top 5 movies at the Dragon Boat Festival:

"She Vanished" 507 million yuan

"I Love You!" 106 million yuan

"Transformers: Rise of the Power Warriors" RMB 81.83 million

"Octagonal Cage" 66.38 million yuan (preview box office)

"The Flash" 35.89 million yuan

It is reported that "The Vanishing Lady" was the top-grossing film during the pre-sale period. It is a suspense film produced by Chen Sicheng, directed by Cui Rui and Liu Xiang, starring Du Jiang, Zhu Yilong and Ni Ni. The film revolves around a "wife" disappearance case. He Fei's wife Li Muzi disappeared mysteriously during their wedding anniversary trip. When He Fei searched for her in vain, his wife reappeared, but He Fei insisted that the strange woman in front of him was not his wife. As the gold medal lawyer "Chen Mai" intervened in this bizarre case, more mysteries slowly emerged.

However, the Douban score of "She Vanished" has dropped from the initial score of 7.5 to 6.9. Many viewers think that the plot is a bit weak as a suspense film, and they can guess the ending after watching the middle. Some netizens also complained that the performance of the leading actor Zhu Yilong did not meet their expectations.
