Compared with Disney’s animated adaptation of the live-action movie Dumbo, which was released on March 29th this year (with an opening of $49.9 million in the first week), the box office performance has also been greatly improved. Disney has suffered a lot in terms of box office and word-of-mouth in recent years in the live-action movie out of the Marvel universe, but this movie has slightly turned the situation around at the box office, and it is expected to be ranked fifth in the Memorial Day weekend box office list. In the international market, "Aladdin" has been painted in major mainstream markets except Japan. The first day’s box office is expected to be 120 million US dollars, while the three-day performance will reach 207 million US dollars. Among them, China was the most outstanding region, with a box office of $18.7 million in the first week.

The horror movie "Magic Child" was released in 2,607 venues, ranking fifth on the list with a score of 7.53 million US dollars. The film tells the story of a childless rural couple who picked up a baby from a spaceship near their home and raised it, and gradually found that the child was a little different, and various supernatural abilities appeared in him. With the R-rating, the film beat another new film, Booksmart, a campus comedy produced by UA, which came in sixth place with a score of $6.5 million.

In the international market, the film was also opened in nearly 50 regions, with a total of $7.8 million in three days.

Recommended star rating of Aladdin: ★★★

"Magic Boy" recommended star rating: ★★★

Booksmart: ★★★★★

The media reputation of Aladdin was lifted on the eve of its release. At present, the comprehensive media score of MTC is 54 below the passing line, the freshness of rotten tomatoes will be 57% from 83% at the beginning, and the score of IMDb is only 7.3. From the perspective of bad reviews, The Wrap said: "The new version reinterprets the original story in a new form and is pleasing, but it is somewhat perfunctory." The Seattle Times said: "The movie has all the elements it should have: flying carpet, magic lamp and lamp god. But it is a pity that Aladdin lacks real magic. " NPR pointed out: "From Disney’s point of view, an acceptable Aladdin may meet the criteria for restarting the series, because it echoes the fun of the original animation, but the audience has the right to expect more." In terms of praise, some media mentioned that will smith, who plays the magic lamp, played a beneficial role in the film. USA-Today commented: "The film adaptation lost some charm, and the arrival of Will Smith made up for it."

The MTC media score of Magic Boy is 45, rotten tomato index is 59%, and IMDb is 6.7. The film critic of new york Magazine simply said, "I hope there are more magic children in the film", which may mean that the film doesn’t handle the relationship between the protagonists properly. The Chicago Sun Times said: "The premise of the film hypothesis is attractive, but it shows another slashing film with stupid victims." Contrary to the low reputation of the above two new films, Booksmart scored 85 MTC85 points and 97% rotten tomato freshness index. The Globe and Mail said: "Booksmart is a love letter to any young woman." The film critic said: "Director Wilde basically told a story about how young people live and enjoy life and enjoy the outside world. Its description is so real and close to us."

Old film: "Prepare for War" has a good momentum, and "Dumbo" has picked up the momentum.

In terms of old films, keanu reeves’s "Prepare for War" ranked second with a score of $24.35 million, with a decline rate of 57%, with a cumulative box office account of more than 100 million in ten days. The film’s box office is expected to exceed $6 million on Monday, so it will exceed $30 million this holiday weekend. This week’s performance has also made "Prepare for War" surpass the final box office of the first two films (both of which have not exceeded 100 million yuan), and it is not surprising that Lionsgate has scheduled the fourth film in this series to be released in May 2021. In fact, the box office trend of "Prepare for War" is roughly the same as that of "Prepare for War" and will eventually reach $200-300 million.

Disney’s success this week also comes from "Reunion 4". Although the film slipped to the third place, the good momentum of collecting 16.8 million at the box office remained undiminished. The film will earn $22 million this holiday weekend, and the local cumulative box office will exceed 800 million, which also makes the film join hands to become the only local film with a box office exceeding 800 million. However, the media predicts that it will be difficult for the film to break the $936 million score of Star Wars 7. Pokémon Detective Pikachu slipped to fourth place, taking in $13.3 million last Wednesday, and the cumulative box office exceeded $116 million. In addition, due to the release of Aladdin, Dumbo, which was released at the end of March this year, broke into the 11th place from the 18th place outside the circle, soaring by 238% with a score of $1.04 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 112 million.
