Fangda Cinema in Yenching directly decorates the main hall of the cinema as the world of Pandora.
The Daguang Cinema in Shanghai has set up the image of the protagonist at the door.
Xingmei Cinema in Shenzhen has launched a commemorative version of the Avatar T-shirt, and as long as the audience buys a ticket, they will give a commemorative version of the T-shirt.
Of course, the ticket price is also quite impressive.
On January 3, the tickets for the premiere of Xia Guo were released.
The average price is 500 yuan, all of which are 3D and not 2D.
This ticket price surpassed the 19-year-old Avengers 4, which was almost the highest ticket price in the history of Xia Guo films.
Note that this is the average price, for example, Fangda's IMAX theater ticket price is above 1200, and the ordinary movie theater in Yanjing is also 800 to 1000.
In second-tier cities like Jiangcheng, the ticket price is also around 200.
"Nima! Is this a movie or a celebrity concert, the ticket price is so expensive!"
"Isn't this robbing!
Netizens complain about the expensive, but they are willing to pay the bill in action.
The premieres of the major theaters were all sold out.
The box office for the premiere alone has exceeded 300 million, more than many films have grossed repeatedly.
The box office of large theaters such as Jiangcheng, Fangda Cinema and Xingmei International was also sold out.
In addition to the price of ordinary seats for 200, the best viewing positions were sold in the form of auctions, and finally Fangda's IMAX hall was sold at a premium of 1,000 soft girl coins.
Jiangcheng's salary was not in line with the Shanghai market, and the ticket price was in line with the Shanghai market first.
But fans of Jiangcheng found something quite strange.
On the Internet ticketing platform, in addition to familiar theaters such as Fangda Cinema, Xingmei International, and Jinyi Cinema, a new cinema has also appeared - Galaxy Light and Shadow.
The ticket price is not cheap, reaching 300 tickets.
All the movie tickets in Fangda and other theaters were sold out, but Galaxy Light and Shadow did not, and it was still empty.
Some netizens pulled out the history of Galaxy Light and Shadow and said: "This is the oldest starlight theater before, and now it has changed its name?"
Everyone knows that the screens of Starlight Cinema are all from the 90s, and it looks unpleasant!
"Yes, the environment is also poor. ”
But netizens found that it was not right, the theater wrote on the online ticket purchase guide: virtual reality theater.
What's going on here?
Curious netizens inquired about Galaxy Light and Shadow in the enterprise information and found a shocking news.
"Damn! Damn! Have you noticed, Starlight Cinema's name change to Galaxy Light and Shadow is not a simple name change, their bosses have changed. ”
"Replaced by what?"
"The shareholder is Pangu Technology!"
"I'm Cao!!"
Pangu Technology acquired Starlight Cinema and then changed it to a virtual reality cinema.
Pangu Technology is also the technical support provider for the filming of "Avatar 2", so what is it like to watch virtual reality movies in Galaxy Light and Shadow?
There are fans who are extremely fast and quickly seconded the movie tickets of Galaxy Light and Shadow, and then refunded the movie tickets of Fangda Cinemas.
Within seconds, the 100 virtual reality movie tickets for the Galaxy Starlight premiere were emptied, as were the ordinary 3D movie tickets for the other three halls.
Zhang Xiaopang, a student at Jiangcheng University, was lucky enough to buy two virtual reality movie tickets, planning to watch the movie with the girl.
At eight o'clock in the evening on January 5, the premiere of "Avatar 2" in the summer country started simultaneously across the country.
Zhang Xiaopang and his girlfriend entered the theater with excitement and anticipation just like millions of fans across the country.
Just walked into the virtual reality theater, Zhang Xiaopang and all the fans were stunned.

"Is it a mistake, how to see without a screen. ”
There are still attentive fans who saw the special 100 seats, and he shouted: "Oh my God! This is the Qinghe device! Don't make any noise! There must be no screen here, we use the Qinghe equipment to watch movies!"
Take a seat, put on sensors on all parts of your body, and the Qinghe viewing equipment slowly covers the audience's heads.
The beautiful and fantastical star Pandora unfolds in front of the fans.
Zhang Xiaopang's heart was excited, and he held his girlfriend tightly and said, "Oh my God, my God, my God......! This...... I feel like my whole body is flying in the universe! The scene in front of me is so beautiful! It's so real!"
My girlfriend worried, "I feel like I'm in the universe, and I'm a little scared. ”
Other moviegoers excitedly said, "300 yuan a ticket is worth it! Fortunately, we didn't buy a 200 Fangda movie ticket." ”
The film began to be screened, and this day is destined to go down in the history of human cinema.
