As of 5:54 PM on July 15, 2026, the new Stephen Chow film (Kung Fu Women’s Football) has broken 800 million yuan in total box office over 5 days, temporarily ranking No. 1 on the 2026 summer box office chart and leading the overall market.
Key box office milestones:
Opening day (7.11): Broke 100 million within half an hour and 200 million within two hours; ultimately reached 260 million (exceeding the industry’s 190 million yuan expectation), setting 9 records including the highest-ever opening-day box office/audience count for a summer release in nearly five years, as well as records for summer-release screening/venue performance in film history. Pre-sales hit 88.888 million, with over 5.79 million viewers;

(Kung Fu Women’s Football) warms this cold summer—especially the bleakness of the movies—adding a touch of warmth. It also unleashes the feelings of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and even the 2000s. Countless Stephen Chow movie fans of all ages go to the cinema to “make a trip.”
Since it has been in theaters for two days, a strange phenomenon has emerged:
Day 1- The movie is extremely hot, but word of mouth is sharply polarized. Real fans of Stephen Chow’s films give it very high praise; meanwhile, some even—just a few—individual influencers and certain hosts come out to post attacks against this movie. Of course, everyone’s taste must be respected, and everyone has the right to speak freely. But some statements are clearly from water armies. Even hours before the film started playing that day, a large batch of highly consistent comments appeared online saying the movie isn’t good—clearly premeditated. It’s even possible that there were organized water armies, and there’s no ruling out behind-the-scenes support from institutions or capital forces to suppress competitors.
Day 2- With such high heat—after 5 days it already reaches 800 million in box office—while some other movie has almost no buzz, yet its box office is tens of billions.
Day 3- Douban rating: 6.6; Maoyan rating: 9.4.
Day 4- Before it even gets to the final showdown table, nobody knows who will win in the end.
Day 5- Life is be water, my friend.
Just like that book📕 from Binance $BNB CZ’s ($币安人生 ), do your own business well. You don’t need to pay too much attention to or explain other things.
