Anita Mui Wins Best Actress, Film "Petals of Flowing Water" Struggles in Mainland China with Only $150,000 in 5 Days

On September 15th, the film "Petals of Flowing Water" was officially released nationwide. This film received multiple nominations at the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards, and Anita Mui clinched the "Best Actress" award with her exquisite acting skills. However, when it comes to its screening in Mainland China, the box office performance was far from impressive, earning just $150,000 in 5 days.

Some netizens believe that the lackluster box office results should be attributed to Anita Mui herself, as times have changed. While she used to be one of the top female stars, her popularity has noticeably waned in recent years. There is also a faction of netizens who argue that her status has been overestimated for too long, and some even question her acting abilities.

Nevertheless, there are others who hold a different perspective. They argue that "Petals of Flowing Water" was not intended to be a commercial blockbuster. Moreover, with readily available online resources, the number of people willing to pay for a cinema experience has naturally decreased. Additionally, the film did not receive substantial screening or marketing investments.

In any case, Anita Mui's performance in the film industry continues to be highly regarded. Despite the disappointing box office performance this time, her outstanding acting skills remain praiseworthy. Fans are eagerly looking forward to her future works and hope she continues to shine in the industry.
