Chapter 231: Chen Hao VS Li Press (Adding a Supplement for the Elder "Little Chinese Reporter")
""Hurricane Rescue" earned a total of 16.85 million yuan at the box office in the first five days of its release!" Chen Xiangang said happily.
"Hurricane Rescue" is a movie made by his boss, the higher the box office, the greater the income of Haotian Cinema, and it also proves that Chen Hao's future is more and more limitless!
"Okay, I see!" Chen Hao said happily when he heard this.
The first-week box office of 16.85 million yuan refreshed Chen Hao's personal first-week/single-week box office record in the mainland!
And judging from the box office results of this first week, the final box office of "Hurricane Rescue" should be able to exceed 40 million yuan, or even higher!
At present, the top of the annual box office list in the mainland in 2003 is 52.22 million for "Harry Potter 2", and the box office results of "Hurricane Rescue" are likely to hit this champion position!
However, Chen Hao was happy for a while, now there is a ceiling at the box office in the mainland, and no matter how high the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" is, it is estimated that it will not exceed 60 million yuan.
This result is too far from the 248 million of the national teacher "Hero", so Chen Hao really can't raise much interest.
What's more, "Hurricane Rescue" has reached 121 million in North America and $202 million worldwide, and the box office in the mainland can only be said to be better than nothing for the time being.
However, the higher the box office, the better, after all, there is a lot of income, and he can prove his box office appeal in the mainland, so that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the three major directors as soon as possible!
Especially Feng Cannon, this guy caught Chen Hao at the mainland box office and was not as good as him, and this time "Hurricane Rescue" is likely to shut him up!
Chen Hao put it down after a while and continued to start the post-production of "District 9"!
And when the box office results of the new week come out, the media will naturally focus on the report, especially "Hurricane Rescue" is famous, and everyone wants to know its box office performance.
"The box office of "Hurricane Rescue" in the first week was 16.85 million yuan!", --- reported by Sohu Entertainment
""Hurricane Rescue" swept thousands of troops and won the championship!" --- Netease Entertainment
"After 17 months, Chen Hao once again won the top spot in the mainland weekly box office rankings!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
......
As expected, "Hurricane Rescue" won the weekly box office championship without suspense in the first week of release!
After all, "Hurricane Rescue" brought a box office explosion in North America and around the world, and Chen Hao landed in the mainland again after more than a year, and "Big Man with Great Wisdom" performed unfavorably at the box office.
In this week, "Hurricane Rescue" didn't even have a decent opponent, and it would be strange if it didn't win the box office championship of the week!
What matters now is the coming week, and how well Hurricane Rescue performs at the box office will determine its final annual box office ranking.
Because on Friday of this week, the superhero blockbuster "Hulk" directed by Li Press will be released in major theaters in the mainland.
"Hulk" can be said to have taken a lot of effort from Li Press, but the final film was criticized by the media.
It has also been drawn in North America, with a final box office of $132 million, and the global box office has just exceeded $200 million.
And its production cost is as high as 137 million US dollars, obviously Universal and Marvel are going to lose money!
In other words, as the three Chinese directors currently developing in Hollywood, after the defeat of Wu Baige's "Wind Whisperer", Li Press also suffered Waterloo!
Next, the eight major Hollywood companies estimate that it will be impossible for Li Press to take over the A-level production in a short period of time!
By the way, John Woo found a job again after "The Wind Whisperer", directing a sci-fi film "Memory Rift" in the guise of an action movie!
"Memory Rift" was originally filmed with a budget of more than $100 million, and the director of the film was originally locked in for "Red Dragon", but later changed his mind when he changed his mind to take over the directing of the new version of "Superman".
In the end, Paramount had to sign Wu Baige, who is good at directing action movies, but the budget was suppressed to $60 million.
This film stars the new Batman Ben Affleck, and Uma Thurman of "Kill Bill", the investment is not small, it can be said that Wu Baige's last straw!
The film will be released this Christmas, and it is likely to be released on the same day as Chen Hao's "District 9"!
If "Memory Rift" performs well at the box office, then Wu Baige can continue his Hollywood journey, but if the film fails again this time, then he will have to go home!
But Chen Hao knows that this "Memory Rift" is Wu Baige's Hollywood box-sealing work!
Americans are prejudiced against people of color, and they are even less tolerant of them, messing up two films in a row, and if they are white, they may have the possibility of a comeback.
But as a Chinese director, you don't have a third chance, and you can't even do it for three!
This is Hollywood, naked Hollywood! If it can't bring benefits, it can only be kicked away!
"Hurricane Rescue" won the box office championship in the first week, and the media coverage passed for a while, and then they turned the hot spot to the hype of Chen Hao VS Li Press.
wants to attract the public's attention through this direct box office confrontation between the two.
"Chen Hao VS Li Press!Supernova director vs. veteran film master, who wins and who loses?" --- Southern Weekly
""Hurricane Rescue" VS "Hulk", the old and the new clash with each other, who are you more optimistic about?" --- Sohu Entertainment reported
"Chen Hao VS Li Press, a comprehensive comparative analysis of the eight aspects!" --- Qiandu Entertainment
"The North American box office of "Hulk" surpassed "Hurricane Rescue", what will be the performance in the mainland?" ---Netease Entertainment
......
Chen Hao, as a newly rising superstar director in the mainland, is naturally no stranger to him.
And Li Zhao is one of the world's well-known representatives of Chinese directors, and a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" almost pushed him to the altar!
The highest-grossing North American foreign language film so far, the Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, can be described as a double harvest of box office trophies!
The current situation is that an upstart, against the old director, is already full of highlights, coupled with the media's intention to guide him, it has naturally attracted countless eyes and attention.
Not only the media, fans, but even the industry and major film companies have focused their attention on this week's box office competition!
And from various analyses, it can be seen that Chen Hao is obviously the one who is underestimated.
Compared with fame, Chen Hao is a fledgling, and Li Zhao has been famous for a long time!
than investment, "Hurricane Rescue" invested $20 million, and "Hulk" was as high as $137 million!
Compared to the lineup, Liam Neeson of "Hurricane Rescue" has been silent for a long time, and Downey is an addict.
Eric Barner of "Hulk" just won the American Film Institute Best Actor, Jennifer Connelly Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and his masterpieces "Once Upon a Time in America" and "A Beautiful Mind"!
Compared with the results, "Hurricane Rescue" is 121 million in North America, and the global box office is currently 202 million, and "Hulk" is 132 million in North America, and the global box office has exceeded 200 million.
Compared with the schedule, "Hurricane Rescue" is already in its second week of release, and "Hulk" Hulk has just been released!
Chen Hao can be said to be at a disadvantage, of course, Chen Hao also has three advantages.
First, in North America, "Hurricane Rescue" has a better reputation than "Hulk".
Second, in the mainland, it can be regarded as Chen Hao's home field.
Thirdly, Hurricane Rescue has 7 days a week, while Hulk only has 3 days on weekends!
As for whether these three advantages are useful or not, I don't know, after all, even if you have 7 days, but they have just been released, and "Hulk" is a superhero special effects blockbuster, which is one of the audience's favorites.
With the media hype, Chen Hao and Li Press both remained silent.
This silence only makes the competitive atmosphere of "Hurricane Rescue" VS "Hulk" more and more tense.
Finally, in everyone's eagerness, the week has finally passed, and the weekly box office rankings of the first week of the two films have been released!
