Many movies were withdrawn from the Spring Festival this year. It was a decision made by the film. Usually, due to some reasons, the film could not be released during the Spring Festival as originally planned. The reasons for the withdrawal might include the fact that the film had not been completed yet, it had not passed the review, or the film producers did not have confidence in the performance of the film. After the film was withdrawn, the film might choose to be released again on another date to strive for better box office performance. The removal of the film was a helpless move for the film because the Spring Festival was the time when the number of people watching the film was the highest. After the removal of the film, there might be less competition, more screenings, but fewer people watching the film. Movies that were withdrawn during this year's Spring Festival included Mr. Red Carpet, Let's Rock the Sun Together, and Huang Wei: The God of Fortune Cat, etc. The box office performance of these films after their removal was relatively low, and there was a big gap between them and the top films of the Spring Festival. Removing the file was a risk for the film, but some industry insiders believed that removing the file could provide a buffer and foundation for subsequent releases, hoping to bring a glimmer of hope to the film.
Partly. The movie takes elements from various real kidnapping incidents and combines them to create the fictional story. But it's not a direct retelling of one specific true event.
Sure, a lot of movies are derived from fiction. This is common as fiction offers rich and imaginative storylines that can be brought to life on the big screen. Though alterations may occur to make it more appealing or feasible for filming.
The movie 'Taken' is not based on a true story. It was created by the imagination of the writers and filmmakers to provide an exciting and suspenseful narrative.
The removal of the Spring Festival movie had an immeasurable impact on the box office and the market. In 2022, seven blockbusters were withdrawn from the Spring Festival, and in 2024, four movies were withdrawn from the Spring Festival. The main reasons for these removals were safety considerations and poor box office sales. The removal of the film resulted in no new films to be broadcast during the Spring Festival, and the relevant cinemas also announced that they would be temporarily closed. In addition, the removal of the film may also have an adverse impact on the annual box office. The movie that was withdrawn might choose to postpone its release date or adjust its publicity strategy to strive for better box office performance. In general, the removal of the Spring Festival movies had a certain impact on the film industry and the audience, but the specific extent of the impact and subsequent development needed further observation and analysis.
