Chapter 946: Amazing first-day box office
On the night of the 19th, many theaters across the country hung up the giant posters and roll-up banners of "Future Apocalypse" as if they were celebrating the New Year, and put on models of exoskeleton soldiers and combat robots, and some Jiahe cinemas even arranged more than 10 meters of giant combat robots and exoskeleton soldiers. The scene was filled with joy, and it was simply a large-scale robot carnival.
The audience at midnight began to gather in the hall of the cinema at 9 o'clock in the night, and the scene of the crowd frightened many passers-by, and they asked what happened to the ground, how could there be so many people. When they heard that it was a movie fan waiting to watch a midnight movie, many people sighed: "Isn't it just a movie?
At the Wukesong store of Jiahe in Beiping, there were two queues of people waiting to buy tickets in the ticket hall, and many citizens sat on the rest chairs in the aisle and waited. The electronic screen at the ticket office showed that all the tickets for the zero show had been sold out, and even more than half of the five shows at 2:40 a.m. had been sold.
In the magic capital Xingmei Zhengda Cinema, 5 ticket windows were opened, but the staff was still busy. Hundreds of fans lined up at the ticket office, surrounding the entire ticket counter.
In Yangcheng Feiyang Cinema, although there are as many as 15 theaters and plenty of space to accommodate audiences, there is still a long queue of people in the cinema, and some viewers queuing up to buy tickets jokingly say that "it seems to be buying Spring Festival train tickets".
Not only Beiping, Magic City and Yangcheng, but also the zero-point movie tickets for "Future Apocalypse" in many cities in China were quickly sold out. Because the number of people buying tickets has increased unabated, in the end, many theaters can only temporarily add performances, increasing the number of performances at 2:40 in the morning. The number of shows with an increase of two o'clock in the zero o'clock show has never been seen before, and this time it is a precedent, and some movie theaters have even started to open all night and show at 6 o'clock in the morning.
With the increase in the number of screenings in major theaters, many fans queuing up have also successfully bought tickets, excitedly chanting on Weibo and Tieba: "I finally bought tickets for "Future Apocalypse"!"
After fans and fans walked into the screening room with excitement, the film did not disappoint them, bringing them an unparalleled impact, not only visually, but also spiritually. The film shows the tragedy, cruelty and bloodshed of the war in a very realistic way, and the realism of the movie is incomparable.
After the movie, the reporter interviewed some of the audience at the scene. Almost everyone said "great", "great", "really good-looking", the most people blurted out the word "awesome", and even some fans excitedly said: "I'll buy tickets right away, and I will swipe it directly!"
Similar to the premiere of the movie in Lin'an, fans also discussed the details of the movie while walking, and after they returned home, they went online overnight to write about their feelings on Weibo, Douban, and many forum websites, and solemnly recommended the movie to everyone.
The main box office enthusiast of the movie box office bar is Zhang Ran's iron fan, and he wrote excitedly at the box office bar after watching "Future Apocalypse": ""Future Apocalypse" is really a milestone for genre films, the rhythm of more than 3 hours is tense and clear, and the blood is really stinging. The narrative, the characters, the emotions, the action, the production are all almost impeccable. There are all the things that should be, and the group portraits of the actors are better than expected, but the most outstanding is the director. As a fan of Zhang Ran, I want to blow a wave here, Zhang Ran's ability to shoot big scenes is much stronger than Spielberg, the war scenes of "Future Apocalypse" beat "Saving Private Ryan", and the ideology of the movie also beat "Saving Private Ryan". Spielberg's anti-war only stays at the level that war is terrible, so we want to be anti-war. In "Future Apocalypse", the roots of war are deeply explored, and even the development of human civilization as a whole is deeply considered. The audience watching the movie today is very serious, the atmosphere is dignified, it's really not so cool for many years!"
Douban user Bai Shui Qingcai commented: "I don't know what to say about this movie, I think "Saving Private Ryan" plus "Prison Break", the first half is "Saving Private Ryan", and the second half is "Prison Break". Although China did not appear in the movie, China was particularly bullish, and the Chinese drove the spacecraft to hit the sun, which generated electromagnetic interference with the robot's communication and opened the prelude to the human counteroffensive. As a Chinese, I am very proud!"
Weibo user Robot No. 5 said excitedly: "I just came back from the midnight show! My evaluation is, hormonal explosion! hormonal explosion! hormone explosion! Say it three times! I am still very excited in my heart! This movie is really too domineering! How to describe the domineering of "Future Apocalypse"? It's like a Frankenstein that devours steel and concrete, destroying your kidney system in the first two hours, causing you to urinate, but in the last 30 minutes of the movie, it hits your tear ducts so much that you can't hold your tears and you walk out of the theater soaking wet!"
Tiger Fight user Buckwheat Huakai commented: "I just watched "Future Apocalypse" with my wife, and the first time I saw a movie in the aisle since I became an adult, this movie is really amazing! As a result, my wife was engrossed in the process of watching, and some of the more realistic shots buried her head in the crook of my arm! You must know that my wife is a very demanding woman, and if the movie is not good, she will basically yawn in the half. "Future Apocalypse" can be described as high-energy throughout the whole process, and it is definitely no worse than "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down". I'm already thirty years old, and I've long been very strong in social discipline, but after the sacrifice of Gu, when I saw which line of words on the saber, I still couldn't help but have sour eyes, I really recommend everyone to watch it, the quality is definitely beyond the ticket price!"
Netizens' enthusiasm for "Future Apocalypse" began to detonate at 8 pm on the 19th, and has always occupied the top of Weibo's hot search list. After reaching midnight, the entire network was overwhelmed by netizens who posted the viewing records of the zero o'clock field. So much so that the most popular Weibo joke in this early morning is: "Have you watched "Future Apocalypse" today?", "I watched it, I read it on Weibo." ”
Early the next morning, the headlines of the entertainment section of the domestic media were all about the midnight show of "Future Apocalypse". In addition to describing the popularity of the midnight show with a lot of pen and ink, the media focused on the amazing box office of the midnight show.
"The domestic box office of "Future Apocalypse" received 50 million, easily breaking the record of "Transformers 3"!"
"Future Apocalypse" was officially released, sweeping the midnight scene and collecting 50 million!"
"The box office of "Future Apocalypse" exceeded 50 million, and fans watched the movie at midnight like a carnival!"
"The box office of "Future Apocalypse" broke the record of "Transformers 3" at the midnight show!
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Weibo user Qingtianyu 2011 released more detailed box office data, "Future Apocalypse" midnight box office results of 51.537 million, a total of 9723 midnight screenings. This result surpassed the midnight box office record of 24.5 million for "Transformers 3". Among them, all 245 IMAX screens in the country except Wanda were sold out, with a ticket sales of 4.5 million yuan, breaking the IMAX box office record of 1.8 million for "Transformers 3".
Since the data fraud of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" at the end of last year, the General Administration has begun to think about releasing authoritative box office data to avoid the problem of data fraud. Since the beginning of April, Li Dong, deputy director of the Special Assets Office, has released detailed box office data every day through his Weibo account Qingtianyu 2011. The data of sunny days and rain comes from the National Box Office Statistics Special Office, which is the most authoritative data in China.
After the data of the sunny day and rain was released, the official Weibo of "Future Apocalypse" was immediately forwarded, and then it was forwarded by many stars, and then by many fans. In less than an hour, the number of retweets exceeded one million, the number of comments exceeded 100,000, and the number of likes exceeded 50,000.
At the same time, the "Future Apocalypse" in major domestic theaters is crowded, and long queues to buy tickets have become a common phenomenon in major theaters. Many theaters are hard to find tickets, and in big cities such as Beiping, Modu, and Yangcheng, there are even audiences who go to the theater at 9 o'clock in the morning to queue up to buy tickets, and they can only buy movie tickets after 22:30 in the evening of the same day or tickets for the next day.
In Rongcheng Wangfujing Cinema, a large number of audiences rushed to the theater to watch the prime-time "Future Apocalypse", but due to the large number of people and the lack of elevators, the three elevators with a load of 13 people squeezed into more than 20 people but no one was willing to quit.
The only exception in the domestic theater chain is Wanda, since last year's Golden Dragon War, the peak of the century has been refusing to supply films to Wanda, and the popularity of "Future Apocalypse" naturally has nothing to do with Wanda. Wanda can only screen Chinese and foreign movies such as "Ice Age 4", "Four Famous Catches", and "Search", which gives many audiences who are not interested in "Future Apocalypse" a place to watch movies. However, "Future Apocalypse" has attracted most of the attention, coupled with the mediocre quality of these movies, resulting in many Wanda theater halls being crowded and basically no customers.
The popularity of major movie theaters has made the audience full of expectations for the box office on the first day of the movie. Many people believe that with the furious midnight performance of "Future Apocalypse", the box office will definitely break the record on the first day. Indeed, on July 20th, after counting the box office of the 0:00 premiere, the single-day box office of "Future Apocalypse" reached 165 million!
Prior to this, the first-day box office record in the Chinese film box office market was set by the American movie "Transformers 3" last year, with a box office of 112 million.
After breaking the midnight box office record of "Transformers 3", "Future Apocalypse" once again refreshed the first day box office of the movie and became the first-day box office champion in mainland film history!
The crazy performance of "Future Apocalypse" made everyone stunned and speechless! Now many domestic directors and movies are still working hard to break 100 million at the box office, and Zhang Ran achieved a terrifying box office of 165 million in just one day, which is simply more popular than death!
"Future Apocalypse" is not only a box office hit, but the audience's evaluation is also amazingly high, with an astonishing score of 9.6 from 42,000 people on Douban, and a score of 9.5 on Time.com. Of course, due to the heavy attributes of Douban and Time.com, among which Douban is still green, the scores of these two websites are difficult to reflect the box office trend of the movie. What can really reflect the word-of-mouth of passers-by, and what can really reflect the box office trend is the ratings of ticketing websites such as Guevara and Maoyan. And on these ticketing sites, the rating of "Future Apocalypse" is even more exaggerated, with both Guevara and Maoyan scoring a staggering 9.8.
By this time, the industry has raised their expectations for the box office of "Future Apocalypse", and they all think that it should be no problem for "Future Apocalypse" to surpass "Thai Embarrassment" at the box office, but there are still not many people who think that "Future Apocalypse" can surpass "Avatar" at the box office.
At the same time that "Future Apocalypse" was released in China, the movie was also released on a large scale around the world, and in these countries and regions, it also showed amazing box office.
