However, when the box office came out on the third day, the media that were still advocating for Leila's failure the day before were collectively dumbfounded, because the 24-hour box office of "Kill Bill" was 15.23 million, while "The Thirteenth Warrior" was 9.7 million!

Why did Lyra's movie box office suddenly go up so much while the Warriors dropped so much?

The normal box office trend is indeed to start more and then gradually decrease. But on the third day of release, it dropped by more than 30% compared to the previous day, which is too amazing, you must know that it is still the time when the release has just begun, and it is still the first weekend!

The shocked media outlets rushed out to find the answer to the matter. And when they arrived at the entrance of the theater, they were frightened by the queue standing in line outside.

"What are you going to do here?" the reporter asked a young man in the group.

The young man shrugged as he looked at the camera of the VCR, as if he was being asked a stupid question: "What else can you do in line in front of the cinema?" to watch a movie, of course. ”

Well, that's really a stupid question. The people queuing in front of the movie theater don't come here because of the popcorn special, right?

But who can be a reporter who has not practiced the thickness? So the reporter who didn't realize that he had asked a stupid question then asked, "What movie are you going to watch here?"

"'Kill Bill', of course it's 'Kill Bill'! My girlfriend's best friend had seen it, and I had to let her see it anyway, so I had to come over. As he spoke, the young man waved his hand at the camera: "Hey baby, do you see, I'll send you everything you want!"

"Thank you for your answer. The reporter then interviewed the person waiting next to him: "May I ask if you also came to see "Kill Bill"?"

"Yes. ”

"Why did you choose to watch this movie? and even wait in line?"

"I heard on the Internet that it was good-looking, so I wanted to come and see it with my own eyes, and if it wasn't good-looking, I could scold it back. ”

The ......reporter seemed to be a little speechless, coughed dryly and asked, "What type of movies do you usually like to watch?"

The man thought for a moment: "I usually like to watch blockbuster movies, like "Jurassic Park" and George Lucas's. ”

The reporter asked, "Are you familiar with Leila Moran, and have you seen any of her films?"

"I've heard of it, and I always see her name when I look at the news. But I don't have much interest in horror films, and I haven't seen the ones she used to make, but my friends love it and recommend it to me all the time. ”

ended this one, and the reporter found several female fans standing together.

"What are you here to see?"

"Kill Bill! Is there anything else?"

"What made you choose this movie?"

The girl giggled and said, "It's cool! The heroine in the movie is so cool, this is the second time we've seen it!"

"So have you seen 'The Thirteenth Warrior'?"

"No, although it seems to be pretty good, but after watching "Kill Bill", I can't watch any other movies anymore, and my mind is full of the shadow of the heroine. ”

The reporter stopped asking, and he found that these girls were die-hard fans of Leila, and he couldn't ask anything if he asked again.

After the interview, he smiled at the camera: "It seems that I don't know why many people are interested in director Moran's film. We will continue to follow up on this issue and hope to find out why. ”

According to the people I interviewed, some of them were attracted by the recommendations on the Internet, some listened to the comments of friends, and some came back to watch them after reading them. It can be seen that the word-of-mouth fermentation that Leila said is quietly taking effect.

The most intuitive manifestation of these effects is the soaring box office, creating a good result of nearly 1/3 more than the previous day, which many people did not expect.

The box office on the Warriors' side is actually not very bad, and it is better than some movies. Soon it will be the hottest summer season of the battle, and the movies released during this time period are basically movies that are to avoid blockbusters and have more confidence in themselves. It can be said that the production is excellent, and I think that it can win a good box office during this time period, in the hope of making a fortune from the beginning of the summer season.

Even Leila thinks so. Like "The Thirteenth Warrior", the act of deliberately colliding with others purely to squeeze other movies is basically unlikely to exist in Hollywood. That kind of behavior of killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 is simply not going to get along with money, who would do that?

"Kill Bill" won 31.34 million in three days over the weekend, narrowly winning the first-week box office title, while "The Thirteenth Warrior" followed with $29.57 million.

Seeing this achievement, everyone knows who the person who has the last laugh is. Don't look at the box office, it's not much worse, but don't forget that the cost of the two sides is three or four times worse!

In this regard, the answer given by the producers on the Warriors' side was very indifferent.

"At the beginning, no one knew what the follow-up would be, but our film has been well received by many audiences, which is the greatest affirmation for us. ”

When asked about the fight with Lyra's movie, the producers were surprised by the way they rigged Leila's promotion at the beginning.

"Our two films have different types and different investments, so why do we have to fight?"

There is no one with this thick skin, and even the reporter can't stand it.

"If you don't deliberately want to compete for the top, why did you set the screening schedule of the two films at the same time?"

"That's just a coincidence! We had our eyes on that time, but we didn't expect Director Moran to be the same as us. ”

It's so shameless! This clearly means that the reason why the schedule is bumped is because of Leila's relationship. Many people who heard it cursed in their hearts, anyway, they said it, their mouths were closed, and they could say anything. What you said the day before can be treated as if it didn't happen the next day!

The organic media also ran to Lyra's side to get in her way, hoping to know what she thought of the box office overtaking the Warriors.

"What do I think?" Leila frowned slightly at the camera, "I don't think 'The Thirteenth Warrior' has anything to do with us, even though we're all action movies." But we're not at all the same level in terms of casting, directing and scripting, and investing money. ”

The reporter laughed, the two films are indeed not of the same level, but they are the one below, and they are also extremely chic.
