Chapter 26 Twenty-six Box Office
July 2 at 10 a.m.
The box office of "The Grim Reaper" was soon announced under third-party statistics.
The most eye-catching is "The Grim Reaper is Coming", but the box office list that surprised everyone was not "The Grim Reaper", and now if you ask a casual person, you don't know "The Grim Reaper". Since there is no so-called protection month, the summer season is also a time for Hollywood blockbusters to rush to land, and the first day of the box office list was won by the Hollywood blockbuster "S Men" with 150 million.
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" is currently in second place with a box office of 100 million, and the box office of horror films has not been very good in China, so it is a miracle that "The Grim Reaper is Coming" can have such a result!
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" is mainly facing the North American market, and the data from North America also came back in the afternoon, and the North American first-day box office list "The Grim Reaper is Coming" topped the list with $60 million. For North American audiences, superhero movies, they have watched it for a long time, and occasionally change their tastes, and "The Grim Reaper" seems to be tailor-made for them, they can't extricate themselves after watching it, and the box office has been rising, and "S Men", which won the top box office in China, is only ranked ninth in North America, which shows that North American audiences are very picky.
………
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 Modu Airlines, someone left a message after refunding the ticket: "I originally had a very poor sense of security on the plane, but after watching "The Grim Reaper", it is even more serious, don't sit on the plane, and sit cautiously!"
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 next few days, there were no other dark horses in the film market, and it became a confrontation between the two overlords "Death is Coming" and "S Men".
In terms of ratings, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" stood firm with a high score of 9.1 and did not fall off the eight divisions, and the ratings of three consecutive movies were above nine points, Chen Yongren's movies are not only the guarantee of the box office, but also the guarantee of quality!
………
On July 8, at half past ten in the morning, in the office of the chairman of Longteng Studio, Chen Yongren was sitting on a chair waiting for the box office data of the first week of the movie.
After a while, Wang Yu brought the statistical results to Chen Yongren to see, and after reading it, Chen Yongren also relaxed, and the box office was stable!
The box office in the mainland in the first week was not unexpectedly led by "The Grim Reaper" and "S Men".
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" was released for seven days, and the box office revenue reached 760 million, and the overseas is even more terrifying as high as 180 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate of 1:7.2, the equivalent RNB is 1.296 billion, and the global box office of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is 2.056 billion in the first week! "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has also become the first Chinese film to break 2 billion in the first week!!
After the official Weibo of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" announced the box office, countless netizens were shocked, this money is too easy to make, two billion a week, do you want to be so powerful!
However, in the second week, due to the release of two new films, and "The Grim Reaper" is not a popular film genre, the box office also declined. In the second week, the box office of "The Grim Reaper" was only 460 million, ranking third, but the overseas box office was still strong, and the overseas box office continued to break 100 million in the second week, with an income of 165 million US dollars, and the total global box office of "The Grim Reaper" in the second week was 1.648 billion RNB!!
At this time, more than half of the movie was released, and Chen Yongren was no longer in China at this time, but came to the United States, accompanied by several leading actors and staff.
Warner, who is very confident in "The Grim Reaper", has already carried out large-scale publicity, and has been inviting Chen Yongren to come to the United States to promote it, but Chen Yongren has no time, so it has been delayed until today.
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" exploded at the North American box office, and it also made many Hollywood characters excited, I didn't expect that Chinese movies could be made so good? At the same time, the name Chen Yongren has completely made some of Hollywood's top characters 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!!"
""Death is Coming" became the first Chinese film to successfully conquer the North American film market on a large scale and !!"
North American filmmakers and media, from ignoring them at the beginning, to being shocked, to being shocked, the box office champion for two consecutive weeks is actually a Chinese 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 movie, which also makes Warner OnePlus continue to improve the screening theaters of "The Grim Reaper".
On July 17, Chen Yongren and his entourage arrived in the United States, and after promoting the movie on one of the most popular variety shows in the United States, the others did not stay long before returning to China.
At the same time, Chen Yongren also wants to enter Hollywood, after all, no matter in the past or present, Hollywood is a great existence, so Hollywood is a place that all filmmakers yearn for, and Chen Yongren is no exception!
…………
When Chen Yongren returned to China, it was already August 2nd, and during this time in the United States, Chen Yongren also learned about the film history of the United States, and also reached some cooperation.
In the end, the domestic box office won a total of 1.61 billion, and the foreign box office accumulated as high as 3.67 billion, and the final global box office was about 740 million US dollars, temporarily ranking seventh in the global box office list in 2005! For a horror thriller, this result is very good.
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" has also been broadcast on the national news network because of this, and Chen Yongren is now the first commercial director in China.
Chen Yongren is now the hottest and most popular director, there is no one, almost all star actors are asked which director they want to work with the most, and almost all of them answer Chen Yongren, so Chen Yongren's influence now can be described as very large.
………
After Chen Yongren returned to the studio, he also began to plan the development plan of the studio in the second half of the year. Although Longteng Studio has not been established for a long time, the business volume is changing with each passing day, and it is constantly expanding, and the current employees are as high as 197 people, so the current office space of the studio can no longer meet the current needs.
After a few days of searching, a 15-storey office building on Tianma Avenue was purchased as a new office space for Longteng Studio, and the people in the studio are also busy moving in the past few days.
The whole studio is busy, and at present, Longteng Film Studio has become the most desirable company for all those engaged in the film industry, and the treatment of Longteng Studio is also the first in the industry.
After the work of the studio was done, Chen Yongren planned to take a break and think about what the next movie would be filmed.........
