Chapter 486: Reaching the Top
Zhang Pu's domestic box office appeal is amazing, or unmatched.
This film, which has invested more than one billion yuan and broke the record of domestic film investment, is so amazing that it is daunting.
Therefore, there are no other blockbusters released at the same time.
may be because the animated films in which several major film and television companies joined forces to snipe Zhang Pu before all came back, and I really don't have the slightest confidence in this ambitious work of Zhang Pu.
No one wants to compete with Zhang Pu's film. They chose to avoid it.
Released at the same time as "Inception", they are all some low-cost cannon fodder films. Therefore, Zhang Pu's film won 42% of the film schedule.
With such a film schedule, it is difficult to think that the box office on the first day is not amazing.
Not all Inception is a 3D-IMAX version, and there aren't that many IMAX screens. Therefore, this film has three formats: 2D, 3D, and 3D-IMAX.
Of course, the price also varies!
The box office of 3D-IMAX has doubled or tripled compared to 2D, but it is still hard to find a ticket.
Under such circumstances, as soon as the domestic box office came out on the first day, it directly blinded Yanjing of countless people.
Nearly 600 million at the box office!
There is no doubt that it directly broke the domestic single-day box office record.
And the word-of-mouth of this film is also very amazing.
The movie network is as high as 9.7, and the light and shadow network is also as high as 9.2.
Both fans and critics gave this film a very high evaluation.
"It's against the sky!"
Zhang Chu and others, who were running for publicity, were a little surprised when they heard about this first-day box office.
This film is obviously not only amazing at the domestic box office, but also abroad.
Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions won their single-day box office champions without suspense on the first day, and many countries and regions even directly broke the single-day box office record.
Among them, there may be Japanese and Korean actors involved, and this film is extremely popular in its country.
North America, the world's largest film market, won $70 million at the box office on the first day.
This is undoubtedly a single-day box office record for a Chinese-language film in North America.
Such a box office naturally made Zhang Chu and other actors excited.
Even if they get a lot of money at the domestic box office because of the large investment in the film, the proportion of domestic box office dividends they get is far less than that of other films they starred in, but the money they get may not be less than that of other films.
"Inception" swept the global box office, and 3D-IMAX technology also swept the world and became a hot topic around the world.
With the double harvest of box office word-of-mouth, the whole world has set off a discussion about dreams.
Everyone is talking about this movie, if you haven't seen this movie, you can't talk at all, and there are even some two sides who talk about business, talking about this movie, and in the end, the two sides are actually very happy to cooperate successfully.
The world swept through a storm about dreams, and it also pushed the film to the point where everyone knows about it, and even "everyone watches it".
Of course, for the global film industry, the most talked about is naturally 3D-IMAX technology.
Many filmmakers have already traveled to Oriental DreamWorks.
Everyone knows that this technology will lead a trend in cinema.
This time, Huaxia is ahead of Hollywood.
With the release of "Inception", a strange phenomenon has appeared in some places, especially in Chinese areas, among the major bookstores, the best-selling book is "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation"!
Many people go to temples and Taoist temples, not to ask for Buddha and worship gods, but to find those monks and Taoists to interpret dreams.
The release of this movie also promoted the development of a career. For those who set up stalls on the street and counted the doors, the biggest word written is no longer "measuring eight characters, counting marriage", but "interpreting dreams".
This is not unrelated to Zhang Pu's original promotion, saying that the inspiration for this film came from "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie".
"Inception" caused a brainstorming and also caused a new trend in special effects technology.
Before, not all filmmakers thought that special effects technology would be very helpful for films.
Especially domestic filmmakers.
But now, Zhang Pu has built a dream world with special effects technology.
With the global popularity of "Inception", the special effects company under Oriental DreamWorks instantly became the world's top special effects company.
Although Zhang Pu of this company has spent a lot of money, he has already begun to make profits.
And now it can be called a daily progress.
The money that was invested in the past naturally came back with interest.
Before the release of "Inception", Zhang Pu took the main creator to run around the world to build momentum for the promotion of the film.
After the release, the publicity was also very strong, but Zhang Pu participated a lot less.
"Can Inception break box office records?" asked Xu Jiahui with a smile.
"Inception" is popular all over the world, and its popularity is much higher than Zhang Pu's previous film "Transformers".
She naturally likes this film too.
Perhaps, she likes Zhang Pu's films.
"The domestic box office is not known for the time being, but the global box office is very likely. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
If the popularity of the film is long-lasting enough, if five percent of the film schedule can still be retained during the Spring Festival, I am afraid that it may not be impossible to break the domestic box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Because of the 3D-IMAX technology, this film has undoubtedly aroused the pride of fans in China.
Chinese films are finally leading the world.
Yes, the special effects technology shown in this film is leading the world.
Such a film, how can we not support it.
"Wolf Warrior 2" can make domestic fans watch it several times, and "Inception" also has such charm.
This year's Spring Festival is at the end of January.
There are many blockbusters during the Spring Festival, and the schedule of "Inception" must be greatly squeezed by these films.
However, the film will certainly not stop there.
The IMAX hall, in particular, will definitely continue to be screened.
"Inception" has set new records one after another at the domestic box office.
On the first day of release, a new single-day box office record was set.
Broke one billion in two days.
1.5 billion in three days.
In four days, it directly broke two billion.
In one week, he almost won three billion box office.
After the film broke the box office of 3 billion, the single-day box office is no longer so amazing.
However, before the Spring Festival, "Inception" directly won the single-day box office for a month.
The cumulative box office also broke 5 billion.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many blockbusters were released, and the Spring Festival stall fight began.
Oriental DreamWorks released an animated movie: "Kung Fu Panda 2"!
This movie has the foundation of the first amazing performance, although the director is no longer Zhang Pu, but he has also won a lot of films.
However, "Inception", which has been released for a month, has maintained nearly 10% of the film schedule under the impact of many Spring Festival films.
This is much better than expected.
To everyone's surprise, this film won hundreds of millions of single-day box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year, ranking fourth on the single-day box office list.
A released "blockbuster" was crushed by it.
Although it fell from the single-day box office championship, it is also unprecedented. Which film has been released for a month, and can still achieve such an amazing box office in the fierce Spring Festival?
There is no doubt that this film will break the highest domestic box office record set by "Wolf Warrior 2".
Of course, most of this box office came from the IMAX hall.
"Will it break the 6 billion mark?" Zhang Chu was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Now "Inception" has nearly 5.4 billion, and it will soon become the highest-grossing film in China.
And the Spring Festival stalls have just begun, and with the popularity of the film, it may not be able to win the box office of 700 million.
"Possibly. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"Inception" will become the highest-grossing film in China tomorrow, and it is about to top the global box office list, becoming the first film to break two billion US dollars.
With the blessing of this heat, it will definitely arouse the desire of domestic fans to watch movies.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, "Inception" broke the domestic box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2" and won the top spot in the domestic box office list. and became the first film to break $2 billion at the global box office, topping the global box office charts.
As soon as the news spread, the attendance rate of the film in China instantly increased.
The single-day box office even rushed directly to the third position, which made the blockbuster in second place a little panicked.
The champion of the single-day box office list of the Spring Festival stalls is naturally "Kung Fu Panda 2".
The same taste is naturally loved by fans.
It is not uncommon for films to have reverse growth at the box office, but it is undoubtedly the first time that they are as "reverse" as "Inception".
has been released for more than a month, and there can be a counterattack in the most fierce Spring Festival stalls.
It's definitely a miracle film.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the first peak period of watching movies during the Spring Festival ended.
Zhang Pu and others had to return to Yanjing from their hometown.
This year, both brothers took their children back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year.
The domestic box office of "Inception" broke the 6 billion mark, and they had to return to Yanjing in advance.
Breaking the 6 billion mark, this is definitely a major event in the Chinese film industry.
Naturally, Oriental DreamWorks is going to hold a grand celebration banquet to further stimulate the stock market.
Even years ago, when the film broke the 5 billion mark, it was already held.
"Inception" swept the world at the box office, and 3D-IMAX technology became popular all over the world, becoming the most hotly discussed thing among fans, and the market value of Oriental DreamWorks also skyrocketed instantly.
The increase is more ferocious than after the release of "Transformers".
Among them, 3D-IMAX technology undoubtedly plays a role that is difficult to estimate.
Oriental DreamWorks' special effects technology has gone ahead of Hollywood.
Isn't that enough to increase its market capitalization?
"Director Zhang, are you confident that you will win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director with this film?"
At the celebration banquet, a reporter asked Zhang Pu.
There's nothing to ask about at the box office.
Zhang Pu has dominated the domestic box office list, and he also has two films in the top five of the global box office list.
One of them also reached the top.
Zhang Pu's film not only created a domestic box office record, but also a global box office record.
And Zhang Pu is only in his thirties now.
He may have more box office miracles.
"If I have a little ability to predict the awards, I won't be able to make my debut for such a year, and I won't be able to do it for a long time. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"Inception" has set one record after another at the box office, but whether he can win the award or not, Zhang Pu really doesn't have much confidence.
Is the video good?
That, of course, is undoubted.
And this film will definitely leave a strong mark in film history.
But are Zhang Pu's previous films bad?
Obviously not bad.
But he didn't win the award.
However, if "Inception" can't push Zhang Pu to the position of Best Director at the Golden Dragon Awards, I'm afraid fans won't agree.
Yes, it's a movie fan, not a fan of Zhang Pu.
