"Wow, the movie was so exciting at the beginning!"

"The war scenes filmed by this Chinese director are too exciting!"

"Wow, I can't see anything else on the screen, it's all an explosion!"

"After blowing up the White House, blowing up the Krumlin, blowing up the Krumlin Palace, blowing up the pyramids, blowing up the Great Wall, I was terrified!"

"Is this Chinese director learning Michael Bay, the beginning is all blowing up, it's so exciting!"

......

The movie has just opened, and I am holding to pass the time, curious... The American audience who walked into the cinema to watch "Edge of Tomorrow" with various ideas was not ready, just like being ploughed all over the ground by cannonballs on the battlefield, and experienced a baptism of war at the beginning.

There are also many Hollywood war movies, but there are still few war scenes like this.

The producer also has to save money, just like the "Jurassic Park" series, the first half of the dinosaur appearance time is actually not much, but every place has been foreshadowed, the rhythm is very good, and it will not appear for a long time, making the audience nervous for a long time before suddenly killing.

Every shot is burning money, and of course, it is necessary to achieve the maximum benefit with the least expenditure.

After the opening, these disapproving audiences gradually cheered up and watched the movie seriously after experiencing the baptism of socialist fire.

When he saw that the actor was thrown into the boot camp and didn't even know the insurance of the exoskeleton mecha and was about to go to the battlefield, the audience in the United States smiled, and then began to worry about how he would survive on the battlefield.

The big scene of crossing the river also caused a burst of exclamations, and the scene was not smaller than the classic war movie "Saving Private Ryan".

However, it didn't take long for the actor to hang up, which made the audience confused.

Could it be that isn't the main character?

Then the actor returned to the barracks, exactly the same scene, and the audience immediately understood.

"Is this a repetition?"

"It seems to be similar to movies like "Groundhog Day" and "Horror Cruise". ”

"The director of this movie was originally the director of "Horror Cruise", otherwise I wouldn't have wasted time on a Chinese movie. ”

"I also watched "Horror Cruise", and it was so good that I didn't expect the director to switch careers to make sci-fi films. ”

......

The movie continued to be screened, and Yu Dong, who was sitting in the middle and back position, finally slowed down a little.

It wasn't until the 103-minute film was screened and the seventy or eighty audience members in the screening hall spontaneously applauded the movie that Yu Dong relaxed.

Although the attendance rate in prime time on Friday night was only 30%, Yu Dong was satisfied enough.

This is a Chinese movie, from the story to the main creator, it has nothing to do with the United States, and it is already very good to get 25% attendance at night.

Then they went to ask the manager of the cinema, and the whole movie was shown twice during the day, and the attendance rate was about 10%, and this was the first show at night, and the second screen was also played, and the attendance rate more than doubled.

Rest in the hotel for a night in the evening, Yu Dong got up early the next morning, and gathered in the hotel restaurant with Zhou You.

It wasn't until 7 a.m. that Zhou You received an email from the publisher, Columbia.

Yu Dong, Liu Yan and others watched Zhou You click on their mobile phones, and they were also extremely nervous, looking forward to getting good news from Zhou You's mouth.

His fingers pressed the screen quickly, and the tense face on Zhou You's face suddenly burst into a smile.

Yu Dong was overjoyed.

"2.8 million! $2.8 million on the first day!" Zhou You shouted at them.

Yes!

Yu Dong waved his hand heavily, not caring about his image at all.

"Yu Dong, 2.8 million on the first day, sampled more than 100 movie theaters in the United States, and more than 4,000 viewers participated in the questionnaire survey, and 33% of the audience gave an A+ score, 38% of the A score, and less than 10% of the C and below scores......"

Zhou Youyu quickly reported a number of data, including ratings on professional websites, Rotten Tomatoes, etc., which are above the passing mark for a sci-fi blockbuster.

Don't look at the fact that there are many domestic movies that have a super high reputation in North America, I don't know how much better than the passing reputation of "Edge of Tomorrow".

For example, the reputation of "Ip Man 2" is very high in Chinese movies, but the box office is only 220,000 US dollars, which has no reference value at all.

Just like those movies on Douban in China that have only a few thousand reviews and have a score of more than 8 points, they have no commercial value at all.

However, "Edge of Tomorrow" has been on the mainstream cinema line of the North American film market, and the 1,600-block theater schedule is also eleventh in the same period.

How many movies does the United States produce in a year, and how many are in China, don't look at the beginning of December, Halloween has just passed, and there are still 20 days before Christmas, but this is also a popular schedule, and there are countless movies released.

1,600 open screens, nearly 3,500 screens, and more than 200,000 viewers, this data has high reference value.

In addition, the people of the United States are not like China, and the score of all foreign movies is naturally one point higher.

Audiences in the United States have always looked down on movies from other countries, and they subconsciously give a low score, and it is already very good to get a passing score and reputation in such a large number of moviegoers.

In addition to the high box office of $2.8 million on the first day, it was also second only to "Tangled" and "Harry Potter 7" on the North American box office list on the 3rd, ranking third in the North American box office in a single day.

Below "Edge of Tomorrow" are "Dancers Club" with 2.1 million, "Dangerous Times" with 2 million, and "Love and Elixir" with 2 million.

Although these films have been released for more than 10 days, it is also a great honor to be able to hold them down.

As for the newly released "Yellow Sand Samurai", the box office on the first day can exceed one million, which is only half of "Edge of Tomorrow".

There is an additional Chinese film on the box office list and major forums, which has also attracted the attention of many audiences and media, and there are more and more reports about "Edge of Tomorrow".

The excellent first-day data also gave Colombia more confidence to negotiate with the theater chain, and the next day another 200 cinemas were added, and the publicity efforts also increased a lot.

On Saturday the 4th, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" soared by nearly 40%, with a single-day harvest of 3.9 million.

On Sunday, the theater of "Edge of Tomorrow" has increased to 2,300 yuan, and the single-day box office has reached 4.5 million.

Three days after its release, the North American box office reached 11.2 million, still firmly occupying the third place in the North American weekly box office list.

The first place is still the animated blockbuster "Tangled" with an investment of up to 260 million US dollars, with 21 million, and "Harry Potter 7", which has been released for more than 20 days, ranks second with 16 million.

"Dancing Girls Club" ranked fourth with a box office of 6.1 million in the second week.

The action blockbuster "Danger Hour", which invested more than 100 million yuan, only had a box office of 6 million this week, and the total box office was less than 70 million, and the joining of Oscar winner Denzel Washington did not make the audience buy it.

"Yellow Sand Samurai", which was released at the same time, ranked ninth with a box office of 3.05 million.

11.2 million in the first week!

A Chinese-language movie, without Zhang Yimou, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, or even Zhou Yanfa, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, there is not a familiar face.

Three days after its release, it was enough to make most of the media pay attention to this movie.

A Chinese science fiction film has suppressed a lot of Hollywood movies, and there is no shortage of blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million, which is definitely big news.

All of a sudden, the news of "Edge of Tomorrow" can be seen more or less on various websites, media, and newspapers, and the two oriental warriors wearing exoskeleton mecha on the poster have made North American audiences more and more curious, and more and more people have entered the cinema.

On the morning of the 6th, Yu Dong received a call from Gao Qunyao, Murdoch wanted to meet him and asked him to go.

Yu Dong hung up the phone and the whole person was in a much more comfortable mood, yesterday there was a call from the fund that had rejected him before, but Yu Dong ignored it at this time.

But Murdoch is different, it is one of the largest media groups in the world, a real media group, unlike a media group in China, there is not even a newspaper with a larger circulation, let alone a television station.

The media group also has the Hollywood giant Twentieth Century Fox, and it will definitely be of great help to the future business if it can reach cooperation with the other party, and it is not even a problem to stuff a small supporting role into a Hollywood blockbuster.

The small supporting role of a big Hollywood production, even if it appears for less than a minute, is of great value, whether it is for his own actor or making a deal.

Moreover, News Corp.'s stake in the company is also of great benefit to Bernard's listing.

After Yu Dong hung up the phone, he immediately asked his assistant to buy a plane ticket, and by now, more than half of his purpose of coming to North America had been achieved.

This time I came to the door with a bang, and next time I want everyone to take the initiative to find themselves!

Yu Dong secretly thought in his heart!
