China Box Office: Sci-Fi Comedy ‘Moon Man’ Revives Local Industry With $148M Opening

The Hollywood Reporter

July 31, 2022

The lighthearted film, from director Zhang Chiyu, has brought a much-needed jolt of energy to the Chinese multiplex, with analysts expecting it to earn over $600 million.

A heartwarming sci-fi comedy about a Chinese astronaut who believes he’s the last human alive has revived China’s box office in spectacular fashion. Moon Man, directed by Zhang Chiyu of the hit-making comedy troop Mahua FunAge, opened to $148 million over the weekend, including pre-sales, according to data from Artisan Gateway. Local ticketing app Maoyan projects the film to earn over $640 million (RMB 4.34 billion) before it leaves Chinese screens, which would make it the country’s sixth-biggest film of all time.

Like a more whimsical version of The Martian, Moon Man stars Shen Teng (Goodbye Mr. Loser) as a Chinese astronaut on the moon who comes to believe he’s the last human in the universe after witnessing an asteroid collide with earth. In truth, earth’s many survivors, including his dream girl (Ma Li), are watching his every move via a live-stream.

The film has delighted both Chinese critics and mainstream moviegoers, earning social scores of 9.3 from Maoyan, 9.5 on Tao Piao Piao, and 7 from Douban’s movie buff users.

Moon Man earned $6.3 million in Imax theaters, marking the giant screen exhibitor’s best summer opening in China since the pandemic.

A key figure of the Mahua FunAge troop, Zhang burst onto the Chinese film scene with his directorial debut Never Say Die in 2017. The film earned $333 million, the third-biggest total in China that year. Other hits from Mahua FunAge, a theater group turned TV and film producer include, Goodbye Mr. Loser (2015; $228 million) and Hello Mr. Billionaire (2018; $367 million).

Moon Man’s success was cheered across the Chinese film industry. Overall, China’s total movie ticket revenue in 2022 is 33 percent below last year.

In an interview with the Chinese state press, Zhang addressed the industry’s recent struggles, saying, “The difficulties are always temporary, and they will pass. We will overcome.”

Holdover titles made small gains in Moon Man‘s wake. Hong Kong action comedy Detective Vs. Sleuths neared the $100 million mark, adding $3.5 million for a $99 million sales total. Sentimental drama Lighting Up the Stars earned $3.4 million, lifting its total to an impressive $245 million. 

The biggest movie in the world right now isn't from Marvel or DC. It's a Chinese sci-fi movie.

Business Insider

Aug 1, 2022

DC's "League of Super Pets," an animated movie about Superman's dog, topped the US box office over the weekend with $23 million. But it wasn't the biggest movie worldwide. 

That honor went to the Chinese film "Moon Man," which grossed $129 million over the weekend, according to Comscore, all from the China market. "League of Super Pets" grossed a total of $41 million when accounting for international markets.

"Moon Man" centers on an astronaut who is stranded alone on the moon after Earth is destroyed. 

The movie is a bright spot for the China box office, which has been hindered this year, compared to last year, by pandemic-related lockdowns.

China surpassed North America as the biggest box office in the world in 2020 through 2021 as US theaters were closed for most of 2020 and the industry struggled to recover last year.

Chinese-produced films carried the local box office in that time. The Chinese war film "Battle at Lake Changjin" was the second-biggest movie of 2021, behind "Spider-Man: No Way Home," with over $900 million, largely from China.

But the North American box office is on pace to retake its box-office crown this year thanks to a sluggish China box office and Hollywood releases like "Top Gun: Maverick," which has grossed $650 million in the US alone. 

The Chinese box office is at $3.09 billion so far this year, according to the film-business consultancy firm Artisan Gateaway. The North American box office is at $4.85 billion so far, according to Comscore.
