Chapter 59: Box Office Predictions
According to the most conservative estimate, as of May 22, "Once Upon a Time" will be released for two days, and the box office will also exceed 100 million!
A series of box office records have been set.
Including Avatar.
In other words, although "Avatar" set a new box office record in the mainland on the first day of release, it was only 38 million, only 4 million more than "Those Years".
But the next day, it directly created a box office miracle of nearly 70 million in a single day!
And "Avatar" has the most natural advantage, it is a 3D movie, watch piracy on the Internet, you can't get the exquisite picture of the movie at all, there is no piracy, or the impact of piracy is not as big as that of ordinary 2D movies, which caused the box office miracle of "Avatar".
74 days of box office champions!
……
Hearing that "Huang Feihong" broke 100 million in two days, Tong Liya, who was tired, also came to her senses.
For actors, being involved in a box office hit is a good plus.
And "Once Upon a Time" is not as simple as an ordinary box office hit, and it is very likely to create a new box office record!
Now the entertainment industry is getting closer and closer to Hollywood, and compared with acting, when producers choose actors, they consider more of his market value, that is, box office appeal.
The simplest thing is that the salary has increased several times...
Yaya stared at Xu Hui and Wu Jing with joyful faces, and said: "So powerful! Even the record of "Avatar" has been broken?"
"It's normal, when "Avatar" was released, there were only 8,200 screens in China, and it has only been four months, and the number of domestic screens has reached 8,800, and the number of theaters will increase, and the number of screens will also increase! A screen corresponds to a screening hall, a screening hall can seat about 80 people, "Huang Feihong" is only 120 minutes, and twelve shows can be arranged every day... Based on the price of 30 yuan a ticket, the ideal state is 260 million per day..."
Xu Hui made a calculation.
may be sensitive to box office data, or he has always been in the habit of calculating the box office by the number of screens.
Someone in later generations once boldly predicted: in 2020, the Chinese market will become the world's largest box office market, and the total annual box office is likely to reach 80 billion...
He calculated accurately, in 2017, the annual box office has exceeded 55 billion...
“… Doesn't that mean that "Once Upon a Time" is likely to surpass "Avatar" at the box office?"
Tong Liya made a very optimistic prediction.
"Hehe, you're thinking too much!"
Xu Hui sneered, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to swipe Weibo.
He now wants to know what he thinks about his "Huang Feihong" on Weibo.
A few people in the car, you look at me, I look at you, I don't quite understand the meaning of Xu Hui's words, and the other party doesn't mean to explain.
“… You can go on!"
Wu Jing was a little anxious and pushed Xu Hui.
"Say what?"
Xu Hui was a little confused, he really didn't understand what these people thought.
In his opinion, something obvious!
"Didn't you claim that the box office goal of "Once Upon a Time" was to surpass "Avatar"?
Wu Jing asked.
Xu Hui didn't notice it much, but Tong Liya and Chen Sangsang, who were sitting next to him, saw it very clearly, and Wu Jing's attitude had changed.
When he talked to Xu Hui before, he was very casual and completely regarded him as his brother.
Now it's a little more restrained.
Nonsense, anyone who faces a big director who turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain, will inevitably pay attention to his words and deeds.
Even if he pushed Xu Hui just now, it was a reaction in a hurry, if he had changed before, it was estimated that Wu Jing would have slapped Xu Hui on the back of the head...
"I'm bragging! What kind of movie is "Avatar", which has topped the box office champion in world film history, created a bunch of records, and won the single-day box office championship for 74 days in China.
Xu Hui objectively put the horror of "Avatar" in front of him.
"So what do you mean, we'll have to wait ten years to break the box office record for Avatar?"
"How is it possible, today's domestic film market is booming, the number of screens is increasing day by day, I believe that in less than three years, the box office record of "Avatar" will be obsolete!"
Xu Hui waved his hand, and then said: "Actually, I can't make much money making movies these days, I think we should build a movie theater! Look at Wanda Cinema, it now has more than 600 screens, in the future, we..."
The topic was obviously far away, and Wu Jing interrupted Xu Hui's business expectations: "You tell us the truth, how much do you think the final box office of "Once Upon a Time" can be?"
“… Domestic?"
"Yes, domestic!"
"Don't add Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
“…”
Wu Jing rolled his eyes...
“… Actually, I can't say for sure, but after the first weekend, I can probably judge the box office potential of our film. ”
Xu Hui replied very seriously.
After all, it has only been released for more than 30 hours, and the box office for the next day has not yet been released...
"According to the prediction of the eye-catching movie, as of tonight, two days after its release, the box office of "Once Upon a Time" is likely to reach 120 million, and tomorrow is Sunday, judging from the current word-of-mouth and movie-watching frenzy, the box office of the first weekend is 180 million!"
Chen Sangsang opened the 'Eye-Catching Movie' on his mobile phone, finished reading, and looked at Xu Hui.
"'Eyesight' is doing a good job, how much is the installed capacity now?"
Xu Hui took the mobile phone handed by Chen Sangsang and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a configuration that was very familiar to future generations.
'Buy Tickets Online', 'Official Merchandise', 'Real-Time Box Office' and 'Box Office Forecast'.
"900 million! 'Eye-seeing' is really bragging! Better than me!"
Looking at the box office prediction of "Huang Feihong" by 'Aiming Eye', Xu Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes.
How dare you blow it!
“… Isn't it less than 900 million?"
Tong Liya heard Xu Hui's off-string meaning.
"I estimate that it will be a little more than 800 million at most, don't forget, "Once Upon a Time" is a 2D movie after all, and you don't know about online piracy!"
Xu Hui sighed: "800 million is still an ideal state, and the biggest possibility is between 600 million and 800 million." ”
Compared with "Let the Bullets Fly", which was released at the end of the year, two weeks before its release, the box office was so dazzling, it directly won 400 million, and almost overturned "Avatar" - when "Avatar" was released for two weeks, the box office was only a little more than 400 million...
It's a pity that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" suffered a cliff-like decline after that.
Discussions among netizens are still endless, and a bunch of decryptions appear on the Internet, however, the box office is still like that.
The release time is a total of two months, and the box office in the first two weeks is more than the next forty days combined!
There's no way, the high-definition free version is out on the Internet, and everyone goes to see the pirated version!
The atmosphere in the car instantly fell, and Xu Hui hurriedly encouraged: "... 600 million is already remarkable! The new Chinese film box office holder!"
