Every media, every news report, every film review of "Transformers", the vast majority of them praise Oriental DreamWorks and Yang Ming for bringing a classic commercial blockbuster to the people of the United States.

Among them, especially the 3D version of "Transformers" has been mentioned repeatedly, and all the media have been shocked by the visual impact of the 3D version of "Transformers".

Harrison flipped through the newspaper in front of him, his face sinking and his brow furrowed, thinking about the news report in front of him.

Now it's in trouble.

"Transformers" is the main antagonist, or arguably the only one, of its own blockbuster "The Flash" in the Christmas schedule.

The other movies in the schedule are either not at the same level as "The Flash", or they are of different genres, and Harrison doesn't need to care, but now it seems that "Transformers" is a roadblock for "The Flash" if he is not careful.

Even, now it's a roadblock.

Because the media reaction after the premiere of "The Flash" was not as sensational as "Transformers", and it did not receive so much praise and praise.

In particular, the 3D version of "Transformers", which was most amazing by the media and many celebrities, made Harrison feel like a great enemy, and he did not want to see his company's movies become a stepping stone for others.

must be blocked, no matter how serious the retaliation counterattack will be in the film market on the Chinese side, it must also be blocked.

The hometown is going to be served, and even if the film market outside is the best developed, it will not be used.

Soon, Harrison's expression slowly became resolute and ruthless, and he stood up abruptly, tidied up his clothes, and made a phone call to the driver, telling him to prepare to leave for the company.

"Sir, don't you need breakfast??" Seeing that Harrison was leaving, it was not as usual as before, even if it was a big event, he would finish breakfast before going out according to his custom, the maid asked.

"I don't eat it. Harrison waved his hand and said lightly.

With that, he pushed the door open and went out.

The day after the premiere of "Transformers", the word of mouth from fans and the praise from the media worked together, making today's ticket sales quite hot.

There are often many fans who are ready to buy movie tickets for "Transformers", and they will be told that the tickets for the next show have been sold out, and if they want to buy them, they can only buy tickets for the next show, and even, some theaters can only buy movie tickets for "Transformers" after two or three shows.

In particular, the sales of the 3D version of "Transformers" movie tickets are extremely hot, and all the 3D theaters under AMC Cinemas, the 3D "Transformers" movie tickets for today's show have already been sold out, and you can only buy tomorrow's 3D movie tickets.

The hot and exaggerated ticket sales of "Transformers" made fans and other Hollywood studios who learned the news look unbelievable.

That's too hot, isn't it?

At the same time, the e-commerce of Meituan, which combines Maoyan Film, has also expanded rapidly this time.

The business of online reservation is favored by countless young people in the United States, especially when it is so difficult to buy movie tickets for "Transformers", you can also book seats online through Meituan and Maoyan Movies, compared to those who queue up to buy movie tickets in the theater, they are simply extremely happy.

Therefore, in this case, the number of users of Meituan and Maoyan Movie in the United States is growing at a crazy rate.

This made Hua Mingqiu very happy.

Yang Ming was not idle today, and went to San Francisco with Niu Hua and Hua Xiaoyue for a while to start their tour promotion, and under the arrangement and planning of Bobble, the three of them will also be interviewed by local media and recorded programs.

Not long after Yang Ming and the others arrived in San Francisco, he received the box office statistics of the North American premiere of "Transformers" last night from Barber.

15 million meters!

On the phone, Yang Ming could clearly feel the trembling of excitement in Bobble's voice.

You know, this is the premiere box office, not a single-day box office data.

Because the premiere of a movie starts at half past six in the afternoon, and there are only three screenings at best, and only four at most.

In the history of Hollywood films, there are only a handful of movies that can break 10 million meters on the premiere date, especially in recent years, few films have broken the line of more than 10 million yuan on the premiere.

Once broken, the film's total box office numbers won't be far behind.

What excites Barber the most is that "Transformers" not only broke the line of more than 10 million at the box office of the first release, but also reached 15 million meters, compared with other movies with a premiere of more than 10 million, which are basically just past the line, "Transformers" exceeds too much.

Even, he didn't even count the fraction of the back.

15 million!

You must know that he Barber has been at Pan American Entertainment for more than 20 years and has premiered tens of millions of movies, and he can count them in one slap.

Soon, the news that the box office of the premiere of "Transformers" reached 15 million meters spread throughout Hollywood, making everyone stunned after hearing it, and this Chinese genius began to create miracles again.

But when everyone was still immersed in the shock of the 15 million yuan box office of the premiere, on the third day, the box office data for the second day of the premiere came out again.

73 million meters!

Now it's not just Hollywood, but many entertainment media are also taken aback by this box office data.

How can it be?

This box office data is really abnormal, even if it is Christmas and today is the Golden Weekend, no matter how popular "Transformers" is, it is impossible for the box office to have such unnatural data.

Because compared with the number of theaters released by the movie, "The Flash" is much more than "Transformers".

According to statistics, "The Flash", which has been released in nearly 3,500 theaters, has a box office data of 6 million meters on the opening day, which is less than half of "Transformers".

The next-day box office data of "The Flash" is 23 million meters, and the gap with "Transformers" is getting bigger and bigger.

It's simply not possible.

Because the number of theaters released in the United States is only more than 1,800, and there are no 2,000 theaters, how can it have such a high box office data than "The Flash"?

It's impossible, if it weren't for the error in the box office statistics, then Oriental DreamWorks must have done something on the box office data.

All of a sudden, both Hollywood and the media have raised their questions.
