Chapter 633: He's a Man Who Makes Miracles (4100+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)

The box office battle between "Ghost Love" and "Back to the Future 3" continues.

For every movie, the box office in the first week is very important, and for some movies with relatively large publicity efforts and poor film quality, the box office in the first week can even account for more than 60% of the total box office revenue!

It is true that these two movies are not bad movies, even if "Back to the Future 3" did not reach the box office of the other two films in another time and space, it cannot be said that he is a bad movie, it can only be said that it is a movie with greater expectations than the degree of viewing.

However, this is already the original sin for "Back to the Future 3".

What the audience wants to eat is a watermelon, but "Back to the Future 3" only takes out apples, and the psychological gap makes this movie not have a very good reputation in the hearts of ordinary moviegoers.

This is like Zhou Xingchi's last Zhou Xingchi movie "The New King of Comedy" that he saw when Wu Jianye was reborn, in fact, this movie is very good in Wu Jianye's opinion, if it is an ordinary director This movie, maybe the box office will be better.

But it's Zhou Xingchi's work, which doesn't mean that Wu Jianye thinks that this movie is Zhou Xingchi's talent, the level of this movie continues to uphold Zhou Xingchi's style, for real Zhou Xingchi's fans, it is actually a feast of feelings and novelty.

It's a pity that the protagonist has changed, for new audiences, they go to see this movie with the attitude of "The King of Comedy", the movie directed by Zhou Xingchi, in fact, the most suitable for starring is Zhou Xingchi, although Wang Baoqiang has been working hard to learn Zhou Xingchi's style.

But after all, it is Dong Shi who follows suit.

Even some viewers who are not optimistic about this movie, some have not seen Zhou Xingchi's movie, in the final analysis, in the era of Wu Jianye's rebirth, Zhou Xingchi has been praised on the altar, and the audience's expectations are too high, so it will lead to the box office of "The King of New Comedy" hitting the street.......

Day 2!

"Ghost Love" box office: $15.29 million!

"Back to the Future 3" box office: $16.03 million!

The box office of both films has fallen to a certain extent, in fact, this is also related to the holidays in North America, and now everyone is paying attention to the box office of the three days of the weekend.

That's the real test of these two films!

Friday!

"Ghost Love" box office: $22.09 million!

Back to the Future 3 box office: $16.92 million!

"The Love of People and Ghosts" has formed a counter-killing to "Back to the Future 3", and the decisive factor in this is the audience's reputation.

In fact, it proves that the audience's reputation is the most important factor for the box office of a movie, although the so-called film review can form a certain scale of impact on the movie in the early stage, but when the release time of the movie is extended, the attendance rate and box office of the movie will change with the audience's word of mouth.

Saturday!

"Ghost Love" box office: $21.62 million!

"Back to the Future 3" box office: $13.91 million!

The box office gap between the two movies is gradually widening.

At this time, Spielberg, Lucas and others are really in a hurry, because according to the current trend, "Back to the Future 3" is going to lose at the box office!

The classic series of "Back to the Future", coupled with the golden combination of Spielberg and Zemeckis, is about to lose at the box office to Wu Jianye, who came to Hollywood for the first time to shoot a movie!

At this time, not only Spielberg and Lucas were aware of the problem, but also other production companies.

I have talked about this issue before, the success or failure of these two films at the box office is not only a battle between two companies or two films, but also a change in the Hollywood landscape.

The CEOs of many production companies, after seeing this box office, couldn't help but say: "Hollywood is going to change!"

In fact, Hollywood is indeed changing, and at this time, Linda, as the boss of Phantom Entertainment, received a lot of phone calls, including Hollywood's top superstars, Hollywood's ace producers, and also calls from the presidents of six other Hollywood production companies.

are all seeking cooperation with Phantom Entertainment, and some production companies are even asking Phantom if they can join the investment in "Jurassic Park".

Always follow the pace of successful people!

Once Linda said this at a press conference, and now Wu Jianye has proved with the movie "Ghost Love" that he can succeed in Hollywood, and it is a shocking success.

At the beginning, everyone's evaluation of the movie "Ghost Love" was that the film may achieve a certain degree of success in Europe and Southeast Asia, and it will definitely fail in North America.

Now reality has slapped them in the face!

Not enoughFor Hollywood practitioners, the last thing they need to care about is face.

When Li Lianjie came to Hollywood to make a statement, the boss of the production company was able to put his legs on the table in his office and look at Li Lianjie through the gap, and after Li Lianjie succeeded, he could personally run to Li Lianjie's crew for 3 hours without complaint!

This is the reality of Hollywood!

Maybe they have all kinds of discrimination here, but in front of interests, all discrimination is not important.

Sunday!

The box office of "Ghost Love" has also declined a little, but it still remains above 20 million, $20.99 million.

As for the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3", it continues to maintain its downward trend, and the single-day box office is only $11.29 million!

As of now, the box office of the first weekend of the two movies has also come out.

Because of the existence of this holiday for the plotter, plus these two films have two more days than the opening weekend of the movies released on previous days, Wednesday and Thursday.

So both of these films had a higher first-week box office than the average movie.

The first-week box office of "Ghost Love" reached a terrifying $97.35 million!

Even people who are staring at the box office trend every day still show a shocked expression after seeing this data, if you don't count inflation and the extra two days of box office, the box office of the movie "Ghost Love" has broken the box office record of the first week in North America!

Wu Jianye naturally also saw this set of data, and the box office of the movie "Human and Ghost Love" far exceeded the box office of another time and space.

There are actually many factors in this, first of all, this movie was fully reported before its release, regardless of whether these reports are good or bad, this movie has almost never disappeared in front of the audience's eyes from the establishment of the project to the end of filming, and then to the release.

At the same time, the quality of this movie exceeds everyone's expectations, if everyone is looking forward to a watermelon in "Back to the Future 3", then everyone's expectations for the movie "People and Ghosts" are a grape, but Wu Jianye dedicated a watermelon to them!

The word-of-mouth explosion of professional film critics and ordinary audiences has brought an absolute advantage to this movie!

There is one last important reason, which is the number of theaters in which this movie is released, in another time and space, the movie did not get much attention from the start of filming to its release, and when it was released, there were not too many screens, only about 2,000 yuan!

But now, the release of this movie has received more than 4,000 screens.

All of this is the reason why the box office of this film far exceeds that of another time and space.

And as the opponent of "Ghost Love", the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3" is also very successful if it is put on a normal basis, after all, their box office in the first week also reached 77.45 million US dollars!

But compared with the movie "Ghost Love", it is a lot worse, and everyone understands that the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3" has been declining, and the downward trend is very serious, according to the current trend, the box office in the second week will decline by at least more than 50%.

When Wu Jianye saw these reports, he smiled and said to himself: "Actually, Spielberg, Lucas and others still have to thank themselves." ”

In fact, it is true, if it weren't for the appearance of Wu Jianye, they would not have increased their publicity efforts on the movie "Back to the Future 3", both the number of theaters released and the publicity funds far exceeded the movie in another time and space.

You must know that in another time and space, the box office of this movie in North America has not exceeded 100 million!

Now it seems that the box office of this movie has exceeded 100 million, which should be a foregone conclusion, at least at the box office.

As for the appearance of Wu Jianye, the publicity cost of this movie has also increased a lot, and it is unknown whether Spielberg, Lucas and others will lose money or make money.

I think that with the fame of the series "Back to the Future", this movie will still make them some money.

How much they make is not what Wu Jianye cares about, but how much Phantom Entertainment makes now is what countless production companies are concerned about.

In the data released by Phantom Entertainment, they can see that the production cost of the movie "Ghost Love" is 23 million, the publicity cost is 23 million, and the total cost is 46 million US dollars!

And the film is now grossed $97.35 million in its first week in North America, because the release of the film is the responsibility of Phantom Entertainment itself, so they only need to share it with the theater chain.

Since this year, a new sharing model has prevailed in North America, which means that the producer's share will account for 90% of the total box office in the first week, and then decrease sequentially......

In other words, Phantom Entertainment can get a box office share of $87.61 million in the first week!

This has exceeded the total production cost of the movie "Ghost Love"!

Within a week, Phantom Entertainment has begun to make a profit, of course, there are some taxes to be deducted, but everyone knows that although the taxes in North America are very high, there are many ways to avoid taxes.......

Just when everyone thought that this was the highlight of the movie "Ghost Love", the box office results of the movie overseas were also announced by Phantom Entertainment.

In addition to North America, the movie "Ghost Love" has reached $190 million at the global box office, which is twice the box office in North America!

Everyone was shocked when they saw this data, and no one thought that the movie "Ghost Love" would be so high at the global box office.

You must know that in the past, even if the North American movie was higher than the global box office of this movie, it would not reach twice as high!

But then everyone understood that the most important credit for this belonged to Wu Jianye.

The first is the popularity of Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani in Europe, which ensures that this film has a strong appeal in Europe.

At this time, everyone understood that this movie not only improved Wu Jianye's appeal in the mainstream circle of North American films, but also cultivated a group of fixed audiences for Wu Jianye in Europe with the release of this film in Europe.

And then there is the box office contribution of this movie in Southeast Asia!

Fengge Cinemas is the largest cinema company in the whole of Southeast Asia, and is the largest cinema company in almost every country in Southeast Asia, which also provides a firm box office contribution for the film in Southeast Asia.

At this time, no one doubts the strategic cooperation between Fengge Media and Phantom Entertainment, and the results that can be achieved.

According to the convention, the production company has a 40% share of the global box office, and the movie "Ghost Love" brought in $76 million in revenue for Phantom Entertainment in its first week!

Wu Jianye's name and photos have once again become the cover characters of major print media.

"Wu Jianye: A Man Who Is Good at Making Miracles!" -- The Hollywood Reporter

"What else can't Wu Jianye succeed in?" --"Variety"

"Who is going to doubt him at this time?" -- The Hollywood Times

.......

These media seem to have long forgotten how they were mad about Wu Jianye before, and their reports have become all praise at this time.......

After seeing these reports, Wu Jianye only smiled slightly, Wu Jianye has long known the virtue of the media, even if he is now the behind-the-scenes boss of the largest media group in Southeast Asia, and the behind-the-scenes boss of Hollywood's hottest upstart Phantom Entertainment.

His views on the media have not changed.

Praise high and low will always be the mainstream of the media.

Wu Jianye can not care about these, but it doesn't mean that other people don't care, these people have long been holding their breath because of the previous incident, and now seeing these reports, they naturally feel comfortable.

And among them, the happiest are the leading actors of the movie "Ghost Love", except for Linda, Johnson and others.

They were under great pressure when they participated in this movie, even Isabel Adjani, who has always been light-hearted, was a little apprehensive in her heart.

But now the film is not only successful, but very successful, and it brings them tangible benefits!

Mel Gibson personally called Wu Jianye to express his gratitude, when he chose to join this movie, he originally just thought that he could expand his popularity in Europe, but now it seems that not only the popularity of Europe, but also the popularity of North America will be greatly improved because of this movie.

Two movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan were released in succession, which allowed Mel Gibson to ask for more money when negotiating with other production companies in Hollywood!
