Chapter 438: Reaching the Top of the Global Weekly Box Office! (The Third Update: Seeking Perfection! Seeking a Monthly Pass 1)
Beijing, early morning of December 5th.
The second blockbuster of the summer file, "Zhao's Orphan", has officially landed in major cities in China yesterday.
In this first encounter, everyone is waiting for the box office to come out and see how badly Chen Kaige will lose.
That's right, basically no one thinks that Chen Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan" can surpass "Edge of Tomorrow", even if it is Chen Kaige himself, he doesn't have much hope.
Yesterday Friday, "Edge of Tomorrow" has received a super high box office of 54 million, breaking the single-day box office record in mainland film history set by "Avatar".
Even if the release of "Zhao's Orphan" shared part of the film schedule, "Edge of Tomorrow" still had nearly 68% of the ultra-high film schedule yesterday.
In stark contrast, "Zhao's Orphan" has only 26% of the film schedule, which is not half of "Edge of Tomorrow".
The theater chain also has to make money, even if Chen Kaige is famous and has a background, in the face of absolute interests, he can't let the theater chain give up more films.
Unless "Zhao's Orphan" hits the box office on the first day, at least 20 million must be obtained, otherwise there will be no more films scheduled for this schedule.
Brother Chen Kai also held his breath, the top director only got such a treatment, and no one was reconciled.
In addition, it is frequently compared by the media, and some people even think that the box office of "Zhao's Orphan" will not exceed 100 million.
Chen Kaige needs an excellent data to make a name for himself and prove his ability to be a great director.
However, when the box office data was received in the early morning, Chen Kaige was speechless.
"Zhao's Orphan" only got 13 million on the first day of release, which was still on Saturday, and the box office was completely worse than expected.
Brother Chen Kai stared at the screen with a disappointed face, speechless for a long time.
He couldn't figure out why the box office was so low.
Four or five years ago, the box office on the first day was quite normal, but now the first-line directors such as Xu Ke and Chen Kexin are also more than 20 million on the first day, and even Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan, the two rookie directors, have a box office of more than 30 million at every turn.
Even Teng Huatao's first movie transformed into a TV series can explode at the box office.
Chen Kaige found that he couldn't understand this era anymore, and he didn't understand the current audience, what movies they wanted to watch.
He didn't even pay attention to the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" yesterday, and he didn't pay attention to the upcoming storm, and the whole person fell into deep self-doubt.
The first-day results of "Zhao's Orphan" are a little better than "Mei Lanfang", but the latter is a biographical movie, and the audience is not at the same level at all.
The reputation of "Mei Lanfang" is also quite good, and the final box office successfully exceeded 100 million.
And the reputation of "Zhao's Orphan" is not good, and there will be movies released in the future, and the final box office may not be higher than "Mei Lanfang".
If it's not good, he will become the biggest loser in the Lunar New Year stall!
......
Early in the morning, various media reported on the box office comparison of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Zhao's Orphan", and almost all guns were aimed at Chen Kaige.
""Edge of Tomorrow" set another record, collecting 59 million box office on Saturday, breaking the single-day box office record in film history just set yesterday!"
"Zhao's Orphan" had a bad start, with a box office of only 13 million on the first day, and the ratings of major professional websites also dropped again and again. ”
""Edge of Tomorrow" set a record of 161 million in three days, plus the 76 million box office screened, the total box office is as high as 237 million!"
""Edge of Tomorrow" continues to lead the December film market and rampage into the Chinese New Year file!"
"Destroying the withering and decaying, who can stop "Edge of Tomorrow"?"
"Brother Chen Kai stepped down from the altar, 13 million in a single day is not as good as "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire"!"
......
Some media reports that have a good relationship with Brother Chen Kai or have cooperation with the Shadow did not use a sharp tone.
But other media don't care so much, and directly start to satirize and criticize.
"5900:1300, Tang Anhao's words may become empty words, and the single-day box office of "Zhao's Orphan" reached 22% of the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow". ”
This is blatant irony, Tang An said that the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" will exceed 5 times that of "Zhao's Orphan", which is more than one-fifth, but no one will spray Tang An to say big things.
News like this is everywhere, and the self-media on the Internet have also continued to belittle Chen Kaige to develop fans and grow his fame.
Tang An's fans are now more confident, and they have exploded with greater combat effectiveness.
""Zhao's Orphan" has 13 million on the first day, which is more than a quarter of the 48 million on the first day of "Edge of Tomorrow", and it seems that it is a bit difficult to five times the box office. ”
"Brother Chen Kai successfully prevented "Edge of Tomorrow" from exceeding 60 million in a single day, which is 1 million short, and Tang An fell short. ”
"The first-day box office of 13 million is estimated to be more than 100 million points, I don't know what qualifications Chen Kaige has to scare Tang An. ”
""Edge of Tomorrow" is going to win next year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, I don't think Brother Chen Kai will dare to say anything when he arrives. ”
"Brother Chen Kai is already old, so his fans don't want to hold on to a "Farewell My Concubine", is it possible that a movie can last a lifetime?"
"The front is pretty good, but as soon as you get to the back, you start pretending to be forced, talking about something that you don't have, and what you want to express in the name of beauty, and the ghost knows what you want to express. ”
......
For "Zhao's Orphan" to lose a city first, there is nothing strange about other producers, not to mention the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, it is good if it does not fall into the well.
""Edge of Tomorrow" is still rising, it seems that "Zhao's Orphan" has no impact at all. ”
Brother Huayi, Wang Zhongjun said with some pity.
"Zhao's Orphan" took away part of the film schedule, and the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still rising steadily, on the contrary, the attendance rate is a little higher.
"Zhonglei, you can arrange more people to help them, at least let the market share of "Edge of Tomorrow" decline a little. Wang Zhongjun said to Wang Zhonglei.
The box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is too crazy, approaching 60 million in a single day, which makes him tremble.
Although "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" was released 18 days apart, Wang Zhongjun is no longer as calm as he was two days ago.
The madness of "Avatar" is still fresh in your mind, and the box office in the first week was not as good as "Edge of Tomorrow".
In case, if the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is as strong as "Avatar", and when "If You Are the Truth Do Not Disturb 2" is released, it can still get more than 100 million box office a week, then the impact will be great.
Now he can only help Brother Chen Kai and Jiang Wen, at least to block "Edge of Tomorrow".
There are also water armies that can't be stopped, even if they have little effect, they must continue to be black.
"If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" has recovered fifty or sixty million costs for advertising placement alone, almost making money lying down, Wang Zhongjun is not afraid of spending money, and everything that is spent can be earned back.
......
On December 6, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" dropped slightly, with a single daily revenue of 53 million, and the total box office in 4 days of release was as high as 214 million, with an average of more than 50 million per day.
Coupled with the 76 million previously screened, the total box office reached a terrifying 290 million!
This year, there are not many domestic films that have reached this figure at the total box office.
Up to now, the 1 billion goal Tang An said is no longer a fantasy, as long as the trend is stable, there is a high probability of breaking 1 billion.
It didn't take long for the overseas box office to also spread back to China, and everyone found out that when they focused their attention on the country, "Edge of Tomorrow" also achieved quite good results overseas.
In North America, it was released for 3 days, and the box office in the first weekend was as high as 11.2 million US dollars, ranking third at the box office of the week, crushing a number of Hollywood movies under him.
Not only in North America, but also in Southeast Asia and Europe.
Not only dominating in China, but also counting the box office in other overseas regions, "Edge of Tomorrow" also topped the weekly box office champion of the global film market!
