Chapter 897 - Ghost Box Office, Worst Record?
"Hey, Romeo, it's me...... Yes, I want the box office, you know...... Yes, that's what it means...... No, you don't need to talk to me about money, things that can be settled with money are not a problem for you, are they?"
"Very good, thank you for your help. ”
After hanging up, Fox looked in pain.
Money, he's going to throw out too much money tomorrow!
Can it not hurt?
......
The next day, "Forty-Seven Ronin" and "Parasite" were released simultaneously in North Mi.
Because there have been a lot of movie reviews in Neon and Hanguo before, all this time, the media in Beimi did not make a fuss about the evaluation. There is no meaning, the box office is the most direct competition, and it is also the only point that "Forty-Seven Ronin" can turn around.
Can superstars and super special effects beat the super stories of super directors?
All of Hollywood wants to know the answer to this question.
In the end, the total cost of filming "Parasite" has not even reached 12 million yuan. Or can the Hollywood blockbuster model "Forty-Seven Ronin", whose production cost has soared from 175 million to 225 million, win?
The whole world is waiting to see.
This time, there is no need to wait until the next morning.
At two o'clock in the morning the next day, the box office of both sides was released.
Parasite, North Rice's first-day box office, four million rice yuan!
This disappointed the expectant North Mi fans.
Because of this result, it can be said that it is completely bad. This simply broke Xu Yuan's worst first-day opening result when he logged into Hollywood.
But the North Mi media did not dare to say this.
Because "Parasite" is the only non-English film in recent years to exceed 4 million meters at the box office on the first day!
Yes, "Parasite" is not available in English, it is the North Mi Film Market, which landed in Korean.
This is definitely the most audacious act in the history of Asian cinema.
The box office on the first day of the movie seems to be poor, which also has a lot to do with this move.
The North Korean audience felt offended.
In contrast, "Forty-Seven Ronin", which grossed eight million on the first day, seems to have won the war.
Finally got a game back?
No, no, no!
Although it won the first-day box office, please note the total investment of "Forty-Seven Ronin".
Films of this level, with a box office of less than 50 million yuan on the first day, are considered unqualified. If the box office is less than 100 million on the first Wednesday, it's a mess!
But "Forty-Seven Ronin", the first Wednesday combined, I don't know if it can break through the 20 million mark.
As soon as the box office came out, the media at the tip of the rice grain became excited.
Lose-lose!
Who would have thought that this would be a lose-lose battle?
Xu Yuan encountered Waterloo for the first time, and Xu Yuan's myth was shattered!
And Fox is even worse.
This year, the three major productions all hit the streets, and each film lost an average of about 120 million yuan.
Who can stand this?
Fox's stock price plummeted, and the entire Fox company instantly entered a crumbling state.
Fox is confused!
He bought a ghost box office of five million meters!
I originally wanted to rely on this to rush the results and make up enough auspicious numbers.
As a result, I didn't expect that if it weren't for these five million, "Forty-Seven Ronin" would actually lose to "Parasite".
Can you believe it!!
What the hell!
Is this really some supergod script?
It's a super ghost script, right?
400 million meters!
Three movies, a loss of 400 million to Fox Films, who can withstand such a loss?
Fox began to doubt life.
Fawkes was drinking sullen wine in his room, and looking down from the eighty-first floor, he even felt the urge to jump off. Fox Films, it's hard!
"Hey, it's me. "Fox answered the phone, it was Zemeckis.
Zemeckis is filming the most magnificent of Xu Yuan's scripts, and so far, the only hope for the entire Fox.
"We, are we still filming? There are continuous problems at the box office, is it a ...... in the script we have at hand?" Zemeckis said a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Robert, be firm and believe in ourselves. Fox shook his head, "There can be no problem with the script, we have pondered it so many times, and no matter how you look at it, these scripts are perfect." ”
"It's just that there are some variables that we ignore, and I think if Xu Yuan was to guide him, maybe he himself would be able to correct these mistakes in time, but we can't. ”
"Shocking Crisis" lost because there was a film with exactly the same content that was released first.
"Mars Needs Mom" lost to the production team, and it was lost to Disney.
"Forty-Seven Ronin", at present, will also lose, all because the stupid director who shot the movie does not understand the history and background of Neon Country at all.
But the good news is that Parasite doesn't win either, even if they can even make a small profit. Compared with Xu Yuan's previous results, this time it was too bleak, so Xu Yuan also lost.
The decline of Fox Films in exchange for the destruction of a distant myth?
Is it worth it?
"Now, you've got to make that movie, Robert! It's a science fiction film, probably the highest-grossing science fiction blockbuster in the history of Hollywood cinema. As long as we can do it this time, we can still get through it!" Fox kept cheering Zemeckis on, and the latter gradually became more confident.
But when the phone hung up, Fox smashed the phone directly!
"Damn idiot!" I don't know if Fawkes is scolding Zemeckis or himself, he is extremely emotionally unstable. Because according to his estimates, the current Fox has surpassed the other four giants and is close to Disney.
However, the real situation now is that Fox Film has directly become the end of the Big Six because of huge losses. Even, there is no need for the next movie to continue to lose money, even if the status quo is maintained, they will definitely fall outside the Big Six in a year.
Lionsgate could take its place at any time.
The last movie, must win!
A big win will have to take place for Fox to get back on his feet.
With this kind of capital and debt relationship of large companies, falling into the ranks of giants is the day of bankruptcy.
"Wait, you're all watching our Fox jokes, but you never know how tenacious we really are!" Fox muttered to himself, "I've been through this many times, but I've won all the way. When Fox Films chose its successor, I was the least favored one, but I ...... Win!"
"I'll keep winning, just like you, Xu Yuan!"
......
A day later, the North Mi film market changed dramatically.
First of all, the box office of "Forty-Seven Ronin" suddenly shrank when it was already small, from 8 million in a single day to 2 million in a single day! The total box office in two days has accumulated 10 million yuan.
The life that is not rich is getting worse and worse.
Even if one side mutates, there is a problem at the box office of "Parasite"!
