Chapter 838: Rise to Hollywood
When micro. When the account of the blog posted the data on June 9, people frantically forwarded it to celebrate, 290 million on the first day, plus 68 million at midnight at zero o'clock, and it came directly to 360 million!
got so much box office on the first day of release, and the audience almost went crazy one by one, especially those who went to the cinema to contribute to the box office.
Compared with the previous movie, the data of "The Matrix 2" has surpassed almost all aspects!
The box office of "The Matrix" was only 22 million yuan at midnight, and it was only 231 million yuan at midnight on the first day.
Rao is like this, its anti-heaven stamina also made the movie box office out of a beautiful trend chart, and finally fell on 1.5 billion yuan!
There is a data emperor who has made a calculation on the Internet, and the conventional way to calculate the stamina of a movie is to divide the cumulative box office by the first week, and the current stamina index of "The Matrix" is 15 divided by 7.11 The first week box office, and the stamina is about 2.
At present, there is no gap between the reputation of "The Matrix 2" and "The Matrix", so the stamina should be about the same.
The box office on the first day is as high as 360 million, so according to this conversion, the box office in the first week should be about 1 billion, 1 billion times 2, then the final box office is 2 billion yuan!
Of course, these are all theoretical predictions.
Until the real box office data is released, no one knows what the final box office will be.
"It's close to 300 million on Friday, is it going to rush 400 million on Saturday?"
"The Matrix is too awesome, Lin Han is too awesome, a very good movie!"
"Damn, the movie theaters are almost full, so many people are only 360 million at the box office!"
"Upstairs, the main reason is that there are too few films in the Matrix today, if it weren't for the attendance rate, it would be difficult to break 300 million!"
"The audience's eyes are bright, a good film should be so high at the box office and support the Matrix!"
"After this battle, Lin Han was completely canonized! The most successful writer in the transformation, the most unscrupulous writer. ”
"300 million yuan in a single day, I contributed more than 100 yuan, praise me."
"I'm so angry, as a fan of books, I'm completely worried, what if Mr. Lin is addicted to making movies and refuses to write a new book?"
"Book fans are trembling, now it's the turn of movie fans to be arrogant."
"Don't be a movie fan, "2001: A Space Odyssey" will be published in late June, don't watch it then!"
"I am both a fan of books and a fan of movies laughing in the toilet, Mr. Lin's works are so powerful!"
Lin Han's fans are very interesting, some like movies or not, and some like movies or not, so they are funnily divided into book fans and movie fans, and the fans of the two families are like role-playing, which is very funny.
At this time, Lin Han was watching that tomorrow, that is, Saturday, June 10, the theater schedule has been released, and even sold out a lot of shows.
As a movie theater chain, they generally sign a distribution contract with the film distributor, and will ensure the minimum number of screenings scheduled in the first week, which is the content of the contract, and no one can violate it.
But if a movie has a high attendance, the cinema will definitely want to queue a few more shows so that it can sell more tickets and make a profit!
The current situation is that theater managers have adjusted the number of films scheduled in their cinemas, and the Matrix 2 can be said to have the most shows, starting from the afternoon, almost every 40 minutes.
The number of shows is very intensive, who made the average attendance of "The Matrix 2" today above 60%, and the primetime attendance rate reached a terrifying 100%!
If you don't arrange money-making movies, do you want to make money?
Of course, the number of films in the three films "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Tarzan of the Apes", and "Desperate Escape" has naturally been squeezed, and a large part of the film schedule has been cut.
Even if the theater chain has signed an agreement with the distributor China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, Guangguang Media, etc., these businesses have enough ways to toss it out!
I promised to schedule 10 movies a day, but I didn't say what time slot.
So on the surface, it seems that there are still about 10 screenings in these three movies, but most of them are concentrated in the morning and midnight!
Most of the prime sessions in the afternoon and evening were given to "The Matrix 2", but symbolically one or two shows were given to each of the other three films.
On June 10, the number of pre-rehearsal films nationwide was as high as 274,500, but 47% of them belonged to "The Matrix 2"!
Compared with yesterday's 34% film schedule, this breath has increased by 13%!
In other words, there are so many movie theaters across the country, and there are nearly 130,000 movie screenings.
Even when the clock just came to Saturday, the real-time box office data of Maoyan Movie showed that as of 0:30 on Saturday, today's market totaled 138 million yuan!
Among them, 110 million yuan belongs to "The Matrix 2", and the pitiful division of the three movies leaves more than 20 million pre-sale box office.
"In this way, the schedule of our movies will go up. They don't have to worry anymore! ”
Lin Han couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the number with such a big gap.
Miao Hong is also very satisfied, this is market regulation, and the cinema chain is also to make money, not to be a charity shop.
Anyway, the share ratio of each movie theater chain is exactly the same, and movies with high attendance are naturally more expensive, not to mention that the ticket price of "The Matrix 2" is so expensive!
Miao Hong was overjoyed, "Look at this posture, is Saturday's box office going to break the single-day box office record?" Friday's box office failed to make the list, we have so many films on Saturday, and Saturday is a holiday all day, and the attendance rate during the day should be able to increase a little more. ”
Lin Han listened to the voice in WeChat, and agreed with Miao Hong's opinion, he replied jokingly: "Plus the word of mouth has spread, anyway, there will be a big improvement compared to Friday." ”
"The domestic market is basically stable, and I don't know if there is such an explosion in the international market."
Two big men didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and they chatted on WeChat for so long!
……
In Hollywood, in the Paramount office building, which once had a good cooperative relationship with Lin Han, Paul Arnold's face was a little grim, he knocked on the table with his hand, and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, our project may have encountered a strong opponent this time. ”
"Jeremy, why did you pick this slot in the first place? I'd rather have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collide with Minions! ”
The live-action reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was produced and distributed by Paramount, and the production cost alone was as high as $125 million, not counting the publicity costs.
But judging from the box office feedback of several countries that have been released at present, I am afraid that this time I will lose all my money!
Jeremy, the manager of the distribution department, didn't argue, he knew that the company needed a scapegoat, and Arnold was angry, and if he defended himself, maybe things would get worse.
At this time, the box office statistics in North America have been released, and it is precisely because of the results in front of them that Paramount's executives are a little angry!
"The Matrix 2: Reloaded", which opened in 4,800 theaters, grossed as much as $42.5 million on the first day, and there was also a $14 million midnight show, directly raising the original 31 million to $56.5 million for "The Matrix"!
You must know that the box office champion in North America last weekend, "Tangled", only got $51 million in three days!
"The Matrix 2" is going to hit $150 million in the first three days of the weekend, and it is even possible that the box office champion in the North American market this summer will be taken away by this sci-fi film produced by a Chinese director.
"Lin Han's "Jurassic Park" with us was very good, why didn't we win the distribution rights of "The Matrix" while the iron was hot? Giving the opportunity to someone else for nothing, his first stop in Hollywood was our Paramount! ”
Arnold was furious, a billion-dollar movie, just missed it!
"There seems to be a problem with the quality of our "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", with only 20% praise on Rotten Tomatoes and only B on the audience, which is very far from the A+ of "The Matrix 2". Only $14 million at the box office today, gentlemen, hurry up and find a way to remedy it! ”
……
Coincidentally, Warner Bros. was also distressed at this time, and "Tarzan of the Apes" became the biggest hit of the year, with a production cost of up to $120 million, although it received a tax refund of $17 million from the United Kingdom, reducing the cost to about $100 million.
But if you want to recover the cost through the box office of the movie, it is undoubtedly a fantasy!
In North America, audiences don't seem to buy the film at all, with the action-adventure blockbuster earning just $11 million on its first day and is expected to gross-out less than $50 million in North America.
Usually if a movie wants to recover its costs, the total box office must be more than three times the cost, which means that if Warner Bros. wants to reduce its losses, then the global box office of "Tarzan" will reach 300 million US dollars!
Now it looks just as extravagant, and its overseas box office performance is also extremely miserable.
Chinese mainland, the world's second-largest box office market, which was originally expected to be high, has just earned $6 million from the release of "Tarzan of the Apes".
On the contrary, "The Matrix 2" got $53 million, which is basically the same as the North American market!
Now Warner Bros. can only pin its hopes on the surrounding and copyright, and the loss is already a doomed thing, so it can only reduce the loss and strive not to lose too ugly.
Two Hollywood blockbusters encircled and suppressed a sci-fi film shot in China, but unfortunately they were beaten in turn, which was too ruthless!
Unlike the gloomy situation of the two companies, the executives of Twentieth Century Fox were laughing from ear to ear.
They were once again conquered by their own excellent vision, more than 50 million on the first day in North America, and Europe, Australia, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places also performed very well!
In other words, on the first day of the release of "The Matrix 2", the global box office exceeded $160 million!
As the overseas distributor of this hot blockbuster, 20th Century Fox is equivalent to making hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing, and the stock price of its parent company, 21st Century Fox Film Company, has also been affected by this, soaring by 5.8%!
The Matrix 2 is expected to bring in far more revenue than the same period last year, which is why market investors are so favored.
