文 | 壹娱观察 路柯 没有人能否认2025年电影市场给出的"意外惊喜"有多巨大——518.32亿总票房成功重返高位，其中《哪吒之魔童闹海》以154亿元的单片成绩刷新华语影 史纪录、成为今年全球票房TOP1且跃升至全球影史票房TOP5。 图源：灯塔专业版 这一成绩不仅印证了观众观影需求的强劲反弹，更展现了头部IP对市场大盘的强大拉动能力。 高光数据背后的结构性问题同样不容忽视。超级爆款的虹吸效应显著，导致头部资源过度集中，大量中小成本影片面临排片挤压、票房惨淡的生存困境， 百花齐放的市场环境似乎没有了，市场生态的均衡性亟待改善。更致命的是，不少倾注心力的工业化大片纷纷遭遇票房折戟，情绪、口碑、尺度、系列化 如何拉动观影成了玄学，市场上出现了"片名完全决定成败"等哭笑不得的现象。 "一家独大、众星黯淡"的格局，也为行业可持续发展埋下了隐患。 | | 影片 | 票房 | 场均人次 | 平均票价 | 影片 | 票房 | 场均人次 | 平均票价 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | 哪吒之魔童闹海 | 154.46亿 | 24 | ...
