Recently, according to box office statistics and media data, as of 16:31 on July 7, the total pre-sale box office of Stephen Chow's new film "Kung Fu Girls" has exceeded 20 million. Previously, its pre-sales exceeded 10 million within 8 hours of opening, and the box office reached 11.782 million within 24 hours of being released.
The film is written and directed by Stephen Chow and will be released nationwide on July 11. Starring Zhang Xiaofei, Dilraba Dilraba, Zhang Yixing, Carina Lau, Takeru Sato, etc. also joined the cast.
The film has a total investment of 380 million yuan, of which nearly half (approximately 190 million yuan) was used to produce more than 1,200 CGI special effects shots. The production cost requires about 1.14 billion yuan in box office to recover the cost.
The film adopts the "extremely fixed release" strategy, with very little publicity. Achieving this result with almost "zero publicity" highlights the strong appeal of the golden brand "Stephen Chow". A large number of voices saying "I owe Mr. Star a movie ticket" also reflect strong nostalgia.
Some media predict that the total box office will be between 900 million and 1.5 billion. The industry believes that the final box office depends on word-of-mouth after the release. With the overall market in the summer of 2026 being on the cold side, the film's pre-sale results have high hopes of boosting the market.
