Chapter 283: The Foreign Release Kicks Off (The First Update Delivers!)
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was April 17th.
The 17th is a very ordinary day.
The box office of Chinese movies in April fell into a state of decline.
Although the box office of "This Man from Earth" has also begun to decline to a certain extent in China, it still maintains a strong position of more than 10 million per day, although the box office will drop 10 million in about a few days, but it has been strong for so long and has completely become a flood beast in April.
As for "Future You", the Hollywood movie has begun to fail.
In the early morning of the 17th, the movie finally fell below 4 million votes and reached 3.5 million box office, and the daily box office has begun to completely beat the "Explosive Aliens".
If "Explosive Aliens" is a little stronger, then there is really a chance to directly take "Future You" in April and become the second position.
This news is undoubtedly very exciting!
"Explosive Aliens" is starting to exert force!
After surpassing "Future You" for several days, "Explosive Alien" began to appear frequently on the homepage popularity page, and even ranked second on the popularity list several times......
All fans who pay attention to this part have begun to watch this "Explosive Alien" for the second time, and they all hope that this movie can surpass "Future You" as soon as possible and pull "Future You" to the third position as soon as possible.
In this environment, the popularity of "Explosive Aliens" naturally continues to rise, and many forums in movies, post bars and tomato networks are full of various news of "Explosive Aliens", and from the frequency of news, it even faintly overshadows "This Man is from Earth".
Why?
The first is that Xu Qifeng, the director of "Explosive Aliens", is very good at managing publicity, and after the movie was a big hit, he led the hero and heroine to "Happy Camp" while the iron was hot and carried out another wave of hype, and the second is that there was a voice on the Internet calling for support for good domestic films and some inexplicable patriotic complexes......
Another most important news is that according to insiders, this "Explosive Aliens" has actually signed a contract with Hollywood's Gobia Company as early as a week ago, and the global distribution agent of Gobia is expected to be released on the 17th to compete with other Hollywood films!
This news is even more exciting!
What kind of company is Gobia?
This is one of the seven giants in Hollywood, even stronger than Paimon......
If it is distributed by this company, then the global box office can even compete with "Future You"!
After all, in terms of promotional resources, Gobia is much stronger than the Midland of "Future You"!
This is big news for all to look forward to!
In short, "Explosive Aliens" has become a big trend, and it has completely counterattacked!
The headlines of the day were even full of big news about "Explosive Aliens" going overseas.
And "This Man is from Earth" is suddenly embarrassing.
After all, this movie really shocked them too much in April in China, and after being shocked a lot, they found that they had become numb.
You are the No. 1 box office again today, and you have almost tripled the data of "Future You"?
Oh, normal.
The news of this movie is on the headlines again?
Oh, it's normal.
The movie was praised or scolded by a certain Internet celebrity?
Oh, and it couldn't be more normal.
This "This Man is from Earth" is inexplicably the same as Lu Yuan, although it has always been the dominant hot spot in the circle, it has formed a strange feeling for them.
It's normal for you to be in the headlines, and it's not normal for you to be in the headlines, okay?
And the box office of "This Man is from Earth" in China is so terrifying, is there any point in what you say on the Internet?
This "Future You" is about to be crushed by you!
In this numbing environment, everyone felt that there was little point in discussing "This Man is from Earth".
Now everyone has their sights set on overseas markets!
As for the overseas box office of "This Man from Earth", no one paid attention to it, even on the day of its release on the 17th, there was no news or any attention.
In everyone's hearts, this movie is indeed a hit in the overseas market.
Who made you not angry?
You choose an inexplicable Huaxin company, what are you doing here?
Who are you to blame for your own death?
................................................
The total global box office of "Future You" has exceeded 30 million US dollars.
Combined with RMB, it is around 200 million RMB.
Compared with the total investment of three million US dollars, this "Future You" has actually earned enough to be a celebration banquet.
But Thomson was a little depressed.
He failed at the box office in Huaxia.
Although the box office in Huaxia still performed well for him, the feeling of being crushed still made him very depressed.
It's okay to be crushed by "This Man is from Earth", after all, you can't compare with monsters, but what does it mean to be surpassed by a comedy like "Explosive Aliens" for several days at the box office?
If this momentum continues, my box office in China will also start to beat "Explosive Aliens"?
He couldn't accept the fact that he had sunk in Huaxia.
He felt that this was not the end for him.
Of course, he doesn't care about the box office of Chinese movies now.
He is now concerned about the overseas box office of "Explosive Aliens", especially the American box office.
"Explosive Aliens" is an overseas buyout like other movies, and the buyout price is $3 million, which is not low, and even as high as the box office of Paimon's "This Man is from Earth".
Of course, that's not the point.
The focus is on Gobia!
It's a big company......
If you are willing to seriously promote this movie, then this "Explosive Aliens" is very likely to suddenly explode again.
Judging from the situation a few days ago, the promotion of the company is still relatively hard, at least many American fans know that there is a comedy called "Explosive Aliens" in Huaxia that has landed in the United States, and this film is not bad......
Thomson doesn't think the situation is promising.
If he is surpassed by "Explosive Aliens" at the domestic box office in the United States, it will really become a joke.
Even if "Future You" has been released in the United States for 17 days, and the box office data has fallen sharply throughout the day, he still doesn't want to be surpassed!
This is a matter of dignity for Hollywood films!
Why do your Chinese movies surpass my movies?
Even during the decline, I won't allow you to be overtaken!
On the morning of the 17th, there were still three hours before the U.S. premiere of "Explosive Aliens".
"Little Downey, come here. ”
"Director, what's wrong?"
""Future You" is trying to do an event today to promote ......"
"Ah, it's been so long since the movie was released, and it doesn't make much sense for us to promote it now......"
"If I ask you to publicize, you will publicize it!"
"Okay...... Why don't you let the heroine Nicole come to a ticket signing event?"
"Well, okay, in short, it can't be surpassed!"
"I understand. ”
....................................
The number of films scheduled for "Explosive Aliens" is still quite a lot in the United States, and theaters of all sizes such as Universal, Meikaou, and Tiandi attach more importance to this movie.
This movie is the most important Chinese movie they have paid attention to in recent years, after all, the company also thinks that this movie is a bit funny, and thinks that this movie can make some money.
Comedy is still relatively popular in the United States, and the market is not small, much more popular than those so-called literary films.
After a few days of continuous promotion of Gobia, coupled with the fact that the editing is very exquisite, and at the same time playing the title of China's No. 1 dark horse comedy movie, this invisibly makes American fans look forward to it.
On the same day, countless fans bought tickets to watch this "Explosive Aliens".
The movie "Future You" also began to be promoted, and the heroine Nicole even came forward to hold a ticket sales event in person, so the popularity of "Future You" on the 17th was not inferior to "Explosive Alien".
Many fans who have watched "Future You" immediately decided to buy tickets to help Nicole after seeing Nicole promote the movie so hard......
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two movies are going to PK again on the American battlefield.
One is eager to attack, the other is eager to defend.
The two form a very strange smell of gunpowder.
This smell of gunpowder has always been a desire for movie lovers.
After all, the box office in the United States in April was too turbulent, there were no stronger movies, and all the stronger blockbusters were released in May, so April was really calm, and there were a few bad movies that could not be spoken......
That's really ......
Speechless!
So basically everyone wants the box office in April to be a little bit better.
On the morning of the 17th.
"Explosive Aliens" was finally released in the United States under the attention of Chinese fans and foreign fans.
An hour and a half later, fans left the theater after watching the movie.
"What movie is this......"
"It's not interesting...... I thought it was a sci-fi comedy movie similar to "Alien Attack", but I didn't expect it to be an embarrassing movie......"
"Oh my God, I'm suddenly looking forward to it!"
"Hey......"
"This movie doesn't work... It's nowhere near as good as "Alien Attack", mainly in terms of special effects......"
"Yes, Chinese movies are still old, the special effects are not good, and there are too many references in the plot......"
"Forget it, it's much better than those bad Chinese movies. ”
"Hmm. ”
The fans who walked out of the theater except for a few eyebrows fluttered and everyone else had disappointed expressions on their faces.
"Explosive Aliens" is not a bad movie.
But......
In a sense, it follows "Alien Attack", but it is not comparable at all in terms of special effects.
It may be a good box office in China and a dark horse, but it is ...... in the United States
Well, America is a brutal world.
"Hey, I can't even write this movie review...... Shoot ...... Never mind...... Let's go. ”
"Brother Jack...... Shall we just go?"
"Otherwise, Alice......"
"I want to see Lu Yuan's movies...... Lu Yuan's movie was also released today. ”
"Lu Yuan, is that a very powerful pianist? His movie, what movie?"
"He has a movie called 'This Man is from Earth' that is coming out today......"
"What? I didn't hear the news, and there is no movie in this sweet potato international movie?"
"Yes, it's just not well publicized, and if it's not a loyal fan, you won't know about it...... There are two shows today, and if you don't watch them, they won't be there today. ”
"Okay, I'll see...... Well, it seems that there are really tickets for this movie. ”
"Hmmm......"
