Chapter 37 Box Office
Chapter 37 Box Office
Chapter XXXVI
The next morning.
The box office of "The Grim Reaper" was soon announced under third-party statistics.
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" had a box office of 30.12 million on the first day!
When Zhang Li's studio and glamorous people saw this first-day box office data, they knew that the box office was stable, and the box office exceeded 30 million on the first day. If nothing else, the movie will reach 400 million at the box office!
Now excluding foreign blockbusters, the highest box office of the flower growers themselves is Feng Dacang's "Tangshan Earthquake" with 673 million, followed by Feng Dacang's "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 1" with 325 million and Wu Baige's "On the Red Cliff" with 321 million.
If Zhang Li's movie can really exceed 400 million and reach 500 million, then he will become the top directors of the flower planter. At that time, except for some directors who have a higher box office than him, or the kind of director who wins awards and gets soft hands, can wrestle with him, everyone else will unconsciously be a head shorter when they see him, after all, his results are too terrifying.
And the results of "Death is Coming" in the North American market have also been passed on. The first-day box office in North America "The Grim Reaper is Coming" topped the list with $12 million. For North American audiences, they have watched superhero movies for a long time, and occasionally change their tastes, and "Death is Coming" seems to be tailor-made for them, and they can't extricate themselves after watching it, and the box office has been rising.
On the second day of the release of "The Grim Reaper", major airlines found that there was a large-scale wave of refunds at major airports across the country, and the biggest impact was Modu Airlines.
"What's going on?" the major airlines also quickly launched an investigation and quickly found out the reason.
The culprit turned out to be a movie, "Here Comes the Grim Reaper"... After learning the reason, the major airlines were also confused, crying and laughing.
On the official website of Pengcheng Airlines, someone left a message after refunding: "I originally had a very poor sense of security on the plane, but after watching "Death is Coming", it is even more serious, don't sit on the plane, and sit and be cautious!"
After this incident was spread on the Internet, after being seen by the jokers, they made up jokes one after another, and it became a hot topic for a while.
In the following days, no blockbuster movie has been released. Some blockbusters such as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Zhao's Orphan" will not be released until the 10th, and during this time, "Death is Coming" is simply like a matchless.
In terms of Douban score, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" also reached a high score of 8.2. Although the score has been hovering between 7.9 and 8.2 for a few days after its release, it is enough to prove that it is a good movie.
The box office in the mainland in the first week was not unexpectedly led by "The Grim Reaper".
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" was released for seven days, and the box office revenue reached 162 million, although this cannot be compared with "Tangshan Earthquake", but it is not far behind. And according to this data, "The Grim Reaper" is likely to reach 600 million, and will become the second director to exceed 600 million box office after Feng Dacang's "Tangshan Earthquake", and Zhang Li will also become the youngest director of the flower family to break the box office record of 500 million.
After the box office was announced on the official Weibo of "The Grim Reaper", countless netizens were shocked, and countless media also reported on it.
However, in the second week, due to the release of Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", the box office of the movie was affected, after all, this is Jiang Wen, a tough guy in the minds of countless people, a genius director, and "Let the Bullets Fly" is a very good movie. All these things add up to make the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" no worse than "The Grim Reaper".
In addition, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" does not belong to the popular film genre, and there is still a gap between thrillers and comedies in the mainland, so the box office has also declined. But in the second week, the box office of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" reached 400 million, which is still the top of the box office.
And when "Death is Coming" harvested the box office, Peng Benxiang looked desperate. "The Grim Reaper", which was released on the 10th, was full of bad reviews when it first came out, and fans of various stars were scolding him for being incompetent and letting his idols act in bad movies.
Peng Benxiang is also helpless in his heart, and the screenwriter is not himself. This is what the company can do to let it shoot itself, but this can't be said, otherwise it will offend the actors and Sakura Emperor.
And when the movie "Death Arrives" was released, Zhang Li also went to watch it. After all, he thought that this movie would be his opponent, and who knows that shit is not as good.
The content of the film is probably similar to the "Accident" movie played by Principal Gu in 09, but the content is terrible. An hour and a half of movies, Zhang Li slept for an hour.
When he walked out of the movie theater, he was photographed by a reporter and asked him what he thought of this movie, Zhang Li thought about it and said it. "It's not as bad as a bad movie, I'm going to go back and wash my eyes. ”
When he said this, he made Emperor Sakura and the others angry and annoyed, angry that he didn't do anything, and angry that Zhang Li didn't know what to do.
But Zhang Li doesn't care what Sakura Huang is like, he and the crew have already gone to the United States to promote the movie.
When "Death is Coming" was a big hit at the box office in the mainland, North America was also good.
The North American box office was tens of millions of dollars in the first three weeks, and it was also the first box office chart!
Countless people queuing up to buy tickets are staged all over the cinema, in stark contrast to the declining attendance of other movies!
Countless fans praised it and highly recommended it to other relatives and friends!
Under the good word-of-mouth, coupled with the continuous promotion of Twentieth Century Fox at the right time, the appeal of the movie version of "The Grim Reaper" is rising and it is beginning to become popular.
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" exploded at the North American box office, and it also made many Hollywood characters excited, I didn't expect Chinese movies to be so good? At the same time, the name Zhang Li has completely made some of Hollywood's top figures remember this time.
And the Hollywood media have also reported that "Chinese movies are very popular in North America!!
""The Grim Reaper Comes" topped the North American box office charts for two consecutive weeks!!"
Filmmakers and media in North America, from ignoring them at the beginning, to being shocked, to being shocked, that the box office champion for two consecutive weeks was actually a Chinese-language movie? Is the world too crazy, or am I not awake yet?
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" has become popular in North America to the point that it is difficult to find a ticket, which is not easy for a Chinese-language movie, which also makes Twentieth Century Fox add and continue to improve the theaters of "The Grim Reaper".
Zhang Li and his entourage arrived in the United States, and after promoting the movie on one of the hottest variety shows in the United States, they returned to China without staying long.
When I returned to China, it was December 25th, and the first place on the mainland box office list was already "Let the Bullets Fly". However, although it can't occupy the top spot, the box office of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is still good, and it has reached 580 million so far, and I believe it will definitely break 600 million by the end of the movie.
And now the three movies that are fighting in the domestic film market are "Let the Bullets Fly", "Zhao's Orphan", and "Laughing Jianghu".
However, it is obvious that the two film festivals played by "Let the Bullets Fly" have failed. And "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" is obviously a movie to make a profit, and looking at the current situation, the box office has exceeded 100 million, which is already profitable. And Chen Wouji's "Zhao's Orphan" has "Death is Coming" before "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Let the Bullets Fly" in the middle, especially when there is a tragedy near the Spring Festival, this time it is really a loss.
Regardless of anything else, "The Grim Reaper", which has been released for more than a month, has also been released, and the final domestic box office has earned a total of 630 million, overseas North America is 94.2 million US dollars, and other overseas countries are 62.1 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 156.3 million, and the final global total box office is about 250 million US dollars, which is very good for a horror thriller. And for Zhang Li, this is a great victory, both domestic and overseas harvests, and mainland directors except for national teachers think that they have not been able to achieve such success.
