霍士發行，九把刀執導的《那些年，我們一起追的女孩》自上映來可算是掀起熱潮，當大家一直關心電影票房走勢如何之時，就在2011年的最後一天，該片剛好超越《功夫》成為華語電影史上票房冠軍。
根據資料顯示，《那些年，我們一起追的女孩》截至十二月三十日正式公映72天後，累積票房達61,249,557元，與《功夫》的票房差距縮窄至29,140元。據了解今天截至中午十二時，《那些年》錄得票房達29,809元，換句話說《那些年》於今年中午時已超越《功夫》成為華語片史最高票房紀錄。
《那些年》在票房上空前成功存在多個因素，當中事先的限量優先場能帶來口碑，然後電影題材在港也獲共鳴，當中除了有其「打手槍」名詞外，更令不少觀眾對女主角陳妍希有所期待。電影到了聖誕前加推限量海報及演員到港，也為電影票房帶來動力。
觀乎香港電影近年在票房成績上不算理想，恐怕港片若要超過《那些年》的絕錄的話，恐怕不知道會是何年何月的事了。

The movie had beaten my last original forecast of HK$55 million many many weeks ago.
This is a rare case of a movie with supposedly limited teen appeal actually crossing over to multiple demographics.
Most mainland and Hong Kong films are not catered to teens, and those that do, don’t do a good job.
If 3D SEX AND ZEN brought in mainland visitors to see the movie in HK, then did APPLE receive the same enthusiasm, since the mainland version should have gotten heavily edited out? It’s just amazing the movie could have such a long run extending to Christmas and New Years Eve with all the heavy competition for screens.

我想問這個票房會根據通脹而調整嗎？當年的功夫賣的票仍只是50／60元，再早期的更只是30／40，假若這個情況，我認為有欠公平。

Perhaps you are still new in box office watching, but I do not like your over simplified take. Yes it is true inflation does help push recent movies into higher grosses, but that does not diminish the smashing success of this movie.
Same as in Hollywood as it was in Hong Kong, the number of tickets sold by movies released many decades ago tend to be the higher grossing movies after factoring inflation. For example, GONE WITH THE WIND, a movie released in the 1930s, is still the highest grossing movies in terms of actual tickets sold. The same theory goes to North American grosses for other Hollywood blockbusters during the 1970s to 1980s.
The current crop of top grossing Hong Kong movies, including TOY STORY 3, AVATAR or TITANIC, are also aided by 3D surcharges or extra length of time surcharges.
What makes 那些年，我們一起追的女孩 so impressive is that the movie was never expected to be a big hit. It did not receive any aid from extended holidays (since when does movies released in Autumn can gross over HK$40 million?). Most top grossing Chinese language movies were released many years ago during CNY when more people of lower classes ‘truly’ have more holiday time off and that watching martial arts movie was a tradition in itself. Moreover, Taiwanese movies never do more than HK$10 million business. Teen oriented romantic movies doing over HK$20 million is also rare. This one also does not have wide appeal compare to 功夫 or many other blockbusters. Therefore credit must go to the strong Fox marketing team.
