Chapter 65: Final Box Office

The box office results of "Comet" in the third week were almost halved, which poured cold water on the crew who originally expected the movie to break 10 million at the box office this week, and also made everyone's interest sluggish a lot.

However, Chen Hao didn't care too much, he could still accept this result, and he had already achieved his expected goal!

"The current box office is already a big surprise, it was a problem for movies to be released before, and now it seems that the box office should be able to exceed 10 million, and everyone should be happy. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"That's right, I was worried about whether the box office could exceed one million!" Dong Xuan said with a smile.

After all, the investment of "Comet" is only 50,000 yuan, it is still a science fiction film, and the director and starring are all students who are in school or have just graduated.

It is estimated that the first reaction of everyone at that time was to accumulate experience and make extra money by the way, who would have thought that the box office would actually exceed 10 million?

"Are you still thinking about the box office exceeding one million? I was thinking that this movie could be released?" Hai Qing said bluntly, and then looked at Chen Hao embarrassedly, "Director, I don't mean to look down on you!"

"Okay, don't explain!" Chen Hao shook his head, "Why don't I like to listen to you so much!"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and their mentality lowered a lot!

"It's nothing, let's go back, but when the movie is drawn, Berner should hold a celebration banquet for us, and there should be a lot of people coming, so you guys are ready to prepare, come and participate!" Chen Hao said.

When everyone heard this, they naturally nodded and agreed, the celebration banquet was also an exposure to themselves, and the people who came at that time should be the senior executives of many companies, which was also an opportunity to accumulate contacts.

When the box office of "Comet" came out in the third week, the time also crossed 2001 and officially entered 2002!

At the end of 2001, when China officially joined the WTO, the impact on all walks of life in the country really began, and the film industry also began to emerge, but more of it was still in the making, waiting for the opportunity to finally break out.

In 2001, the total box office of the Chinese mainland film market exceeded 900 million, an increase of 12.2% year-on-year, and the distribution revenue increased by 11.2% year-on-year.

The first box office in 2001 was "Pearl Harbor" starring Ben Affleck and British Rose Kate Beginsale, which grossed 104 million and was the only film to have a box office of over 100 million.

The runner-up is also a Hollywood film, "Breaking Bad" starring Cameron Diaz, a big-mouthed beauty, with a box office of 75 million.

The third box office was directly cut in half, temporarily occupied by "Spy Maze" starring Brother Long, with a box office of 40 million.

said that it is temporary, because Feng Dacang's "Big Shot" has reached 33 million at the box office so far, just equaling the box office record of his "Endless".

However, judging from the current performance of "Big Names", it is not difficult to increase the box office by another 10 million!

and Chen Hao's "Comet", with a cumulative box office of 8.84 million, temporarily lagging behind Guo Tianwang's "Romantic Cherry Blossoms", ranking 7th in the annual Chinese film box office list and 20th in the annual total box office list.

Fast forward to 2002, and after the first week, that is, the fourth week of the release of "Comet", the box office of the movie was more affected by piracy, and the decline even exceeded 60%.

The single-week box office has fallen below one million, with only a box office result of 790,000, and the total box office of "Comet" has accumulated to 9.63 million.

The only good news is that "Comet" actually sold the audio-visual copyright, although the transaction price was only 200,000, it should be that I want to buy the name of a genuine dealer, and I guess I still do piracy when I go back.

Just like the genuine dealer of "Hero" spent 4 million on anti-theft, but as a result, he also sold pirated discs, mainly because the genuine version did not sell well, and it was not as profitable as piracy.

Rather than letting the pirates who didn't spend their money make all the money, I should take a piece of the pie myself.

Think about the fact that the audio-visual copyright of the national teacher's "Hero" sold for 17.8 million, and his "Comet" is not even a fraction, this gap is too big!

But now Chen Hao is more worried about whether the box office of "Comet" can exceed 10 million!

The impact of piracy and the current downturn in the film market have greatly exceeded Chen Hao's expectations.

In his previous life, Chen Hao's movies were known for their strong battery life, but now the box office has dropped so much, which makes Chen Hao a little uncomfortable.

And the movie has been in theaters for 4 weeks, and the next box office will definitely be less, and the theater screening may not be profitable, and I don't know if it will be painted directly!

But then Yu Dong called and assured Chen Hao.

"Brother, don't worry, I've already contacted it, "Comet" will continue to be released until the box office breaks 10 million, and you must make your debut have a perfect ending. Yu Dong assured.

Chen Hao knew that Yu Dong was selling his favor, but this was an upright conspiracy, Chen Hao still had to take it, and before the two cooperated, Yu Dong helped him a lot, and it was not bad.

What's more important is that the box office of "Comet" can exceed 10 million, which is very good for Chen Hao.

"Then thank you, senior, I was still worried about it just now. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"If you don't mind, call me Brother Dong, and we will be brothers in the future. Yu Dong proposed.

"Brother Dong!" Anyway, Yu Dong is old, and he will also be a big man in the future, shouting brother, Chen Hao is not a loss.

"Hahaha...... Okay, brother, just wait for the good news that the box office of "Comet" will break 10 million!" Yu Dong laughed.

In the 5th week of the release of "Comet", the box office of the movie continued to plummet, only 310,000 was reported, and the cumulative box office was 9.94 million, which still did not exceed 10 million.

However, it is only the last 60,000, and it should be successful as long as it is released for another week.

The following week, which was also the last week of the release of "Comet", achieved a total of 150,000 box office revenues, and the total box office finally exceeded 10 million, reaching 10.09 million.

At the same time, "Comet" is officially drawn!

With a total box office of 10.09 million, "Comet" was able to squeeze out Guo Tianwang's "Romantic Cherry Blossoms", ranking 6th in the 2001 Chinese film box office list, and the ranking of the annual total box office list also rose to 15th!

At the same time, the news of the painting of "Comet" also attracted media coverage.
