Once had to reschedule in 2022 and now hit theaters in the hot summer movie season, the project Superman Family of “saint child” Tham Dang suddenly lost the box office battle. Premiered alongside blockbusters like Wind God 1 nice Three Thousand Miles Chang’an, Superman’s Family was completely underdog in terms of sales, after the first week only made 200 million yuan.
According to a disclosure from QQ, the film has an estimated budget of more than 300 million yuan (excluding media costs), which is a product that is heavily invested in both technical effects and context. This is also one of the few comedy films starring Tham Dang with a team budget of hundreds of millions, and now the project is not well received as expected. QQ predicts the film will lose 100 million yuan (more than 330 billion dong) and is unlikely to reach the “half billion” threshold, let alone a higher milestone.
On Douban, many viewers expressed their outrage because they felt cheated after watching Superman Family. From the very beginning, the film used the image and name of Tham Dang to promote and attract customers. But in fact, when the film hit theaters, the time that Tham Dang appeared was extremely meager, less than 15 minutes for 3 scenes. This has happened before with movies Onmyouji Master: Thi Than Lenh when the couple Chau Tan – Tran Khon was brought out as a “guest fishing rod” despite appearing quite a few, as the background for the main star.
Tham Dang appeared for 15 minutes but got PR like the male lead
In addition, the film’s content is also disappointing when it is not as attractive as the previous summary. In Superman Family, the male lead Trinh Tien (played by Ai Luan) is a technology engineer developing a large project. But this project quickly caught the eye of the millionaire villain (played by Tham Dang), and he is trying to get it from Trinh Tien. When Trinh Tien returned to his hometown to play, a rare incident caused his whole family to inherit superpowers: his older sister could fly, his father could become invisible, his grandfather was immortal, and his younger sister was extremely strong. Together, the entire Trinh family joins forces to fight the villain, save the project and all of humanity.
There is an attractive script, but the interpretation of Superman Family boring, not funny. The characters in the film, including Tham Dang, have exaggerated, excessive acting. The film is considered to be more suitable for Tet, but it cannot be considered a quality comedy masterpiece. Used to make a mark with Man Giang Hong Bringing in more than 4.5 billion yuan during the last Tet holiday, Shen Teng is said to have a painful fall even though he only plays a small role.
