10 days after release: "Chinese Ping Pong" finally broke the 90 million mark at the box office

Ten days ago, on February 17, the movie "Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Strikes Back" was finally released after being postponed during the Spring Festival, but its box office performance and screening schedule were lower than expected.

According to data provided by Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of 15:22 today, the total box office of "Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Strikes Back" has finally exceeded the 90 million mark, and is only one step away from breaking 100 million.

For such an ill-fated film, this is already a good result.

According to the film's director Deng Chao in an earlier interview, "Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Strikes Back" was the most difficult film he had made as a director. He and Yu Baimei spent five years field trips, interviewing industry insiders, collecting information, watching documentaries to construct the script, and training a group of "table tennis rookies" actors from scratch, just to make a film that lived up to the subject matter and would be recognized by the audience.

At the same time, he also understands the current film scheduling and believes that after twists and turns, more people will know about the movie "Chinese Table Tennis".

Deng Chao believes that as a Chinese, the words "national table tennis" are very attractive and inspiring. Many countries with developed sports have excellent movies on related themes, such as "Munich".

Table tennis is our national sport, and we have the responsibility to play it well. We also hope that through this story, we can tell the will and character of a person who faced failure under adversity and eventually turned defeat into victory.
