Chapter 531: Box office spree
"Did you go to see "Fast Pursuit"?"
"I haven't watched it, there are too many reviews of this movie on the news, some good and some bad, I feel a little unbelievable, and I haven't decided whether to go or not. ”
"You don't pay attention to the nonsense of the news, think about what is said above, what the pace is too fast, there are too many violent scenes, the English lines are awkward, you have to swallow the gentle movie, the ghost just went to see it, what happened to the English lines, the story is in the United States, you can't still speak Chinese, the actors are Chinese, I tell you, this movie is really good, don't watch it will definitely be a loss." ”
"Is this movie really as good as you say? It won't fool me, right?"
"I've watched it twice, it's full, it's really good-looking, it's so refreshing, let's go and see it. ”
Similar conversations between friends are not uncommon after the release of "Fast Pursuit", especially among young people, the love for "Fast Pursuit" is unbelievable, and many people even go to the cinema to brush it up or twice, which also causes a scene where it is difficult to find a ticket after the movie is released, and the box office is rising steadily, and it has become a phenomenal movie.
""Fast Pursuit" broke the box office record for domestic releases, and the box office broke 12 million on the premiere day" This is the headline title on the front page of "Nandu Entertainment" the next day, and the premiere result of 12 million fell below many people's glasses, no one thought that after "Ambush on All Sides", there would be a "Fast Pursuit", and the box office was so crazy.
You must know that this is a screening, which can reach 12 million, which is definitely close to a full house to have such a high number, this result, but from 8 o'clock in the evening, to the ticket sales of the last show before 12 o'clock in the morning, you can imagine how crazy this must be.
"At the premiere of "Fast Pursuit", Zhou Bai bluntly said that the box office would be a surprise!" Long before the report of "Nandu Entertainment" came out, the reporter's news at the premiere made a report on the box office of "Fast Pursuit".
"To be honest, I'm not worried about the box office, I'm very confident in the quality of the movie, our early publicity and marketing are very good, and the market positioning is also very accurate, although the next time is to see the real chapter, the pressure can't be without it, but for me it's more about expectations, I believe that the pay will be rewarded, and the box office should not disappoint me, maybe it will be a surprise." This is what Zhou Bai said to reporters, at the premiere in the capital, in the face of reporters' questions, Zhou Bai seemed confident.
When the box office results on the premiere day came out, many peers looked at the report, and all that was left was a wry smile.
"Now you can rest assured, at least the results of "Fast Pursuit" will not be too bad for "Ambush on All Sides", if tomorrow's results can maintain this momentum and the reputation does not collapse, then there will be a lot to do. When he got the rough box office report, Wang Zhongjun said to his younger brother and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It proves that our choice is not wrong, the marketing strategy of Bai Xiang Studios is very right, from the feedback received so far, word of mouth will not be too much of a problem, young people like this movie very much, the only thing to worry about is their spending power, and now it is not a trend to go into the cinema to watch movies. Wang Zhonglei nodded, as one of Huayi's bosses, of course he knew why his brother had a reaction to the sudden reduction in pressure, and the funds invested in "Fast Pursuit" this time were not so easy for Huayi to come up with.
Although the premiere was full of confidence in Zhou Bai, the Wang brothers will inevitably have doubts, and Huayi's financial pressure has suddenly increased at this time, and if "Fast Pursuit" fails at the box office, Huayi will face a huge financial crisis.
If the 12 million box office results on the day of the premiere surprised the Wang brothers, then the box office on the second day is equivalent to giving the Wang brothers a big reassurance, the new box office record on the second day of the movie's release is 38.76 million, and in a day and a half, the box office performance of "Fast Pursuit" has exceeded 50 million, and with the release of film reviews from major media, word of mouth will not be a problem.
On the third day, the box office of "Fast Pursuit" hit a new high, winning 40.23 million, and the box office exceeded 40 million on the same day, which is also the highest single-day box office record in China's history, and the final box office of "Fast Pursuit" surpassed the current 145 million "Ambush on All Sides" is already a sure thing, and the only question now is whether it can finally exceed the 280 million of "Hero".
On the one hand, "Ambush on All Sides" still has box office potential, but in the face of the menacing "Fast Pursuit", there is no power to fight back, and the loss is real money, on the other hand, the better the results of "Fast Pursuit", the greater his final income, which is equivalent to cutting his own meat to open meat for himself, and it is difficult to say whether he will make money or lose in the end.
"The schedule is still not completely staggered, there was originally a box office of nearly two million a day, but now it is directly cut in half on the first day, I think it is hopeless to reach 150 million. Zhang Weiping sighed, although he was mentally prepared, the soaring box office results of "Fast Pursuit" still hit "Ambush on All Sides" too hard, and even a little unbearable.
If you follow the trend, there is no problem for the box office of "Ambush on All Sides" to exceed 150 million, but now that "Fast Pursuit" is released, the attendance rate is full, and it is absolutely impossible for those theaters not to adjust the release schedule of "Ambush on All Sides", this is all real money, and no one is stupid enough to keep their previous promise and continue to screen "Ambush on All Sides".
Zhang Weiping's worries are not groundless, on the third day of the release of "Fast Pursuit", the single-day box office of "Ambush on All Sides" directly fell below 500,000, and this is why the single-day box office of "Fast Pursuit" exceeded 40 million.
""Fast Pursuit" is unstoppable, and the box office is in sight to break 200 million" This is basically the title of the media, and whether it is the audience or industry insiders, almost no one questions it, because compared with the previous "Chinese-style blockbusters", the reputation of "Chinese blockbusters" cannot be as straight as its box office, "Fast Pursuit" can be described as a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office, professional film critics may have mixed results, but the audience's word-of-mouth is almost unanimously praised.
"Of course, the more box office, the better, from the box office data we have obtained in the past few days, we are indeed creating a new record for domestic films, the reason why we have this honor, we want to thank the audience for their support, I can't predict the specific figures of the final box office, of course I hope to create more records, but the future trend still depends on the reaction of the market, now it will be too faceless to be slapped in the face after a few days, I think it is better not to make a prediction first. ”
Zhou Bai, who led the crew to a national roadshow, was almost surrounded by the media everywhere he went, and the box office question would be asked countless times every day, and every reporter wanted to get an accurate number from his mouth to make news, but Zhou Bai couldn't make predictions, in fact, the box office was so crazy, even he didn't expect it.
