230801《封神榜》票房也封神，能否复现《指环王》成功？
▍原文
The Chinese mainland box office over the latest weekend was headed by “Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms” (the first part of the “Fengshen Trilogy”), which grossed $42.1 million.
Directed by Wuershan, the “Fengshen Trilogy” set out to be a mega scale blending of history, folklore and mythology from more than 3,000 years ago, that would be China’s answer to both “Lord of the Rings” and “Iron Man” .
