Chapter 337 of the text is the champion of the week

Next chapter

Cinemasore was founded in 1978 and has been around for more than 30 years, with just over 40 films receiving A+ ratings. And these more than 40 movies undoubtedly show good stamina, except for the fan-oriented "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" The final box office is 2.3 times the box office of the first week, and the other movies have more than 3 times the stamina.

In other words, as long as "Time and Space Warrior" can get a box office of 35 million in the first week, there is not much suspense about the final box office exceeding 100 million.

On this night, there were many fan messages on the official website of "Time and Space Warrior", and many people were also leaving messages on the forums of other movies, and the comments were basically praised, and the movie, actors, directors, etc. all became the objects of praise.

Ryan excitedly shared his experience on his blog: ""Time Warrior is undoubtedly the best sci-fi action movie I've ever seen, and the last 30 minutes of the film are indescribable, so shocking, my heart is really about to pop out!"

Sally, a female movie fan from New York, told her friend Amway on the forum about "Time and Space Warrior": "I highly recommend this movie, this is a classic sci-fi action movie that you can't miss, full of imagination, not only male audiences, but also female audiences will love this movie, the girl named Zhang in it is so cool, I think she is even cooler than Reeves!"

In the UCLA forum, UCLA students who watched the premiere sang praises to their heroes: "I'm already shocked and stupid, I don't know how to describe it! After watching this movie, I was thinking about a question, how the hell did this make it? It is worthy of Robin, only he can make such a crazy movie!"

Unlike the one-sided praise of "Time Warrior", "Star Legends" received reviews such as "boring" and "no bright spots", while "Around the World in 80 Days" received a flood of bad reviews, "it was a disaster", "stupid", "it shouldn't have been filmed at all", and everyone could not accept the director's change of Verne's classic sci-fi to the way it is now.

The next morning, on the well-known movie website IMDB, fans gave "Time and Space Warrior" a high score of 8.9, "Star Saga 2" received a score of 7.2, and "Around the World in Eighty Days" only had a pitiful 6.1, and the audience reputation of the three movies was not at the same level at all.

Zhang Ran and the crew had just finished an interview with the Los Angeles Times when the phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and saw that it was Gusta's phone, and immediately connected: "Mr. Gusta, is the box office of the midnight show out?"

Zhang Ran could hear Gusta's laughter across the phone: "Yes, the number of midnight shows is out, the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" is 4.3 million, in addition, "Star Legend" is 2.6 million, "Garfield" is 2.2 million, and "Around the World in Eighty Days" is only 1.8 million!"

"Time Warrior" is not a fan movie, and the box office of the midnight show cannot be tens of millions as directly as "Harry Potter", which is a good result. Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that 40 million is expected in the first week, and the final box office can reach 120 million!"

Gusta smiled: "You are too conservative, I think 45 million in the first week, and the final box office is very likely to reach 150 million!"

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Ran answered Gusta's phone, there was excited laughter from the other end. Zhang Ran knew that the box office must be good, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed like this: "How much is the box office?"

Gusta took a breath: "Add the box office of the midnight show, the box office on the first day is 21.8 million!"

Zhang Ran also laughed when he heard this result: "According to this trend, the box office in the first week should probably exceed 45 million!"

Gusta said: "It may be close to 50 million, if we can get this result, we may beat Harry Potter and become the weekly box office champion, which will be our Lionsgate first weekly box office champion!"

Zhang Ran was shocked: "It's also my first weekly champion, I hope we have good luck!"

"Time and Space Warrior" won the box office of 21.8 million on the first day of its release in North America, this box office figure caused a commotion in the entire film circle, everyone believes that the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" should be good, but this table is inevitably too eye-catching!

Unlike the stunning table xiàn of "Time and Space Warrior", the table xiàn of the other three new films is a bit unsatisfactory. "Garfield" achieved a box office of 12.5 million, which is not bad, "Star Legends" only won 10.71 million box office, which is undoubtedly a disappointing result, and "Around the World in 80 Days" only has a pitiful box office of 5.5 million, which is simply a big surprise.

"Time and Space Warrior" achieved a score of 21.8 million on the first day, according to the normal trend, the box office in the first week should be around 45 million, and there is almost no suspense with a box office of over 100 million!

After a while, Luc Besson called, and he was overjoyed by the result. It is not so easy to achieve a high box office in North America, and his "Fifth Element" also invested 90 million, also starring Hollywood superstars, but the final box office was only 63 million. Now it seems that "Time Warrior" should be twice the box office of "The Fifth Element".

"Time and Space Warrior" got off to a good start at the box office, which undoubtedly stimulated everyone's enthusiasm, and Zhang Ran and the main creators of the crew also worked harder to promote it. In the morning, he was interviewed by the Chicago Sun, and in the afternoon, he went to Philadelphia to do a radio interview, and in the evening, he appeared on an MTV talk show.

At the interview scene of MTV, the host JC Chasi first asked the three actors: "There are a lot of action scenes in this movie, did the three of you complete the stunts yourself?"

Reeves immediately said, "Yes, we all went into battle in person. ”

"We did all the thrilling parts of the film ourselves. Adrien Brody added, "There's a scene where Keanu is clinging to a speeding car, and there was a little accident during filming, and Keanu's safety rope was loosened and he was still hanging tightly to the car. However, Keanu was unsafe, and only one hand was attached to the hood and the whole shoot was completed. ”

JC-Chasi asked excitedly, "Keanu, why don't you stop when it's dangerous?"

Reeves explained, "Because I was fully into the character at the time, and when you do get into the role, you want to be tougher, and my character was trying to stop the bad guys. At that time, I didn't feel the danger, and it wasn't until this shot was finished that Ziyi told me how dangerous it was just now, and I realized what had happened. ”

J.C. Chasi was impressed: "Keanu, everyone said you did the best performance in this movie, and now I know why!"

Zhang Ran looked at the startled acting of the host and the three actors, and wanted to laugh a little. Is this true? Of course it's false.

During the promotion period of Hollywood movies, stars will tell such lies. Romance movies want to create scandals, if it is an action movie, the star is generally asked to tell interesting stories during filming, such as heroic feats on the screen, thrilling during filming, such as clutching the hood on a speeding car, etc.

However, in reality, this kind of thing cannot happen, and during the filming of Hollywood movies, insurance companies will send special supervisors on the set to ensure that the stars are not in danger. Even if the director wants the star to try dangerous shots, the insurance company will never allow it.

Because he saw the hope of the weekly champion, Lionsgate resolutely spent 5 million yuan to publicize, TV stations, print media, gossip magazines, and news and reports related to "Time and Space Warriors" can be seen everywhere. If Lionsgate wants to make a difference in distribution, it must show results to prove itself, and if it can beat "Harry Potter 3" to win the weekly box office championship, it will be more confident when negotiating with theaters in the future.

These works are naturally not useless, and the various news released by the media attracts the attention of the public and fans, prompting those who have seen the film to buy tickets again, and those who have not seen the film to enter the theater, "Time and Space Warrior" is getting hotter and hotter.

Two days later, Zhang Ran received a call from Gusta. As soon as it was connected, Gusta's excited voice came: "Zhang, we are the champion, we won the championship last week!"

Thanks to the current high reputation and super high ratings, "Time and Space Warrior" unexpectedly won the weekly championship, with a weekly box office of 48.46 million!

In second place is "Harry Potter", which has been released for two weeks, with a weekly box office of 46.7 million and a total box office of 169 million, and in third place is "Shrek 2", which has been released for three weeks, with a weekly box office of 34.66 million and a total box office of 364 million.

In fourth place is "Garfield", with a weekly box office of 31 million. The cost of this movie is only 40 million, and it will be close to the cost line within a week of its release, and it is certain that it will make money.

In fifth place is "Star Saga 2", with a weekly box office of 25.65 million. Now the IMDB audience rating of "Star Legends 2" has dropped to 6.9, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 43, and the MTC score is only a pitiful 38. This kind of dismal word-of-mouth is unlikely to have any stamina, and the final box office may only be about 40 million. For a large-scale production that costs $100 million, it can be said that there is no return.

In the previous life, "Interstellar Legend 2" pounced very badly, but in this life, it was even more unfortunate, and it bumped into "Time and Space Warrior", which is also a sci-fi action movie, and the gap between the two is very large, which is simply the gap between "The Queen Wears Prada" and "Little Times". There is no harm if there is no comparison, so "Star Legends 2" pounced even more fiercely.

Even worse than "Star Legend 2" is "Around the World in 80 Days" starring Jackie Chan, the box office in the first week is only a pitiful 12 million, and its reputation is even worse than "Star Legend 2", and the final box office can reach 20 million. For a large-scale zuò movie that costs $110 million, it really pounces on grandma's house.

Jackie Chan got a salary of 20 million in "Around the World in 80 Days" and successfully entered the 20 million club. As a Chinese actor, it is absolutely a miracle that he can do this. It's just that now that the movie is like this, his Hollywood road has come to an end!

In Bowei's office, the assistant kept the latest box office statistics table on Jacobson's desk. Jacobson glanced at the stats, his eyes widened, his hands shook suddenly, and coffee spilled.

"It surpassed "Harry Potter 3"!" Jacobson's tone was incredulous, ""Time Warrior surpassed "Harry Potter 3" and won the top spot at the weekly box office!"

After a long time, Jacobson let out a sigh, knowing that her days at Bowei were over. missed a big project with a box office of over 100 million, and threw away 10 million in vain, and the board of directors will not let it go.

Although this is not Jacobson's idea, this pot can only be carried by her!(~^~)
