Chapter 692 - Dominant

Originally, Chinese and foreign box office forecasting agencies were relatively conservative in their box office predictions for "The Matrix", because the film was hastily raised and not promoted well at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the mainland box office, it is unbeatable, accounting for a terrifying 70% of the single-day box office!

In other words, for the whole day on Friday, the total box office across the country was only 330 million yuan, and "The Matrix" accounted for 231 million of them, and the remaining more than a dozen films together could barely make up 100 million yuan.

This kind of dominance, the movie theater does not give the film schedule to "The Matrix" is a brain disease, and the number of films scheduled on Saturday can be said to be increasing unabated, soaring from 41% on Friday to 54%, completely not giving the rest of the movies a way to live!

Whether it is "Fury", "Push Back Picture", "My 18-year-old can't be so cute", "Hidden Dragon Storm", or "Liangshan One Hundred and Eight Generals", "The End of the World", these films can only drink some scraps behind "The Matrix".

Maybe this schedule is more suitable than the Spring Festival file, there is no opponent with excellent quality, the number of films scheduled for "The Matrix" this week is guaranteed, and it will not be until next Friday that there will be two heavyweight blockbusters "Ace Bodyguard" and Hollywood film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!

"Ace Bodyguard" is a kung fu comedy starring Chinese kung fu superstar Wang Zheng, his box office appeal has always been not weak, the box office of each film is stable at more than 500 million yuan, and the monoclonal antibody ability is very prominent.

Not every Hollywood movie can be released at the same time in China, just like this "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was released in North America last Friday, but it only opened $75 million at the box office in the first three days of the weekend, setting a record for the opening of the "Harry Potter" series of films.

Of course, it's not a pure series, it's the equivalent of a biography written by J.K. Rowling, so this score is pretty good in Warner Bros.' eyes!

Half a month after its release in North America, it landed in the Chinese mainland market, which allowed "The Matrix" to successfully hit a time gap, allowing it to comfortably close the box office for a whole week.

Of course, "The Matrix" vs "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is also full of highlights, which is not only a confrontation between the two novels of the same name, but also a duel between the two writers!

J.K. Rowling's sales momentum has slowed down in recent years, and although her new works have sold quite well, they have fallen too far from the peak of "Harry Potter".

However, Lin Han is a genius writer who has only risen in recent years, and has surpassed JK Rowling on the global writer rich list for two consecutive years.

In Chinese mainland, they still have to wait a week to meet, but in the North American market and the market of Europe and other countries, these two films are already short-sighted!

On Friday, November 25, the first day of "The Matrix" and the second weekend of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the competitiveness of both sides is basically at its peak.

But this time, the wizards failed to continue the good box office trend to defeat Neo Savior, and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" earned only $18.3 million at the box office on Friday, raising their cumulative North American box office to $120 million!

Of course, the single-day box office champion on Friday belongs to "The Matrix", except for the midnight show, it won a total of $31 million at the box office on Friday, which can be said to be extremely eye-catching!

You must know that "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was released in a total of 4,144 theaters last Friday, and the result was only $32 million in a single day.

However, the number of theaters released in "The Matrix" is only 2,341, but it has hit the box office similar to "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", which means that the attendance rate of "The Matrix" is twice that of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!

Both films are 3D films, and there is not much difference in ticket prices, but the difference in the average single-theater box office is so obvious that the staff of box-office-mojo are amazed.

It's big news that the predictions made by your own organization have failed again!

However, this group of wizards from England did not hold on to the second place, because the second place was the film "Bouquet for Algernon" starring Leonardo!

The film, which is also based on Lin Han's novel, was expanded to 3,526 theaters this week after receiving very good reviews.

The original novel touched countless readers, and now Leonardo, the little plum who is loved all over the world, has been put on the big screen, so the box office is very good!

Leonardo has always been a box office guarantee, and the films he has participated in in recent years have basically not lost money, and the North American box office has been above $100 million.

Last week, "Bouquet for Algernon" grossed less than $12 million, but after the expanded screening, the box office on Friday alone reached $19.8 million, narrowly beating "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"!

In other words, the top three box office winners this Friday are all films adapted from novels, and the champion and runner-up are actually novels by the same person!

Both the film industry and the book industry were stunned by Lin Han's feat, do you really want to go to Lin Han to buy the film adaptation rights if you want to win the box office championship?

The grand occasion of the three consecutive championships of "Jurassic Park" in the previous summer file is still vivid, and now this situation has appeared, and many film companies are even more excited!

The film companies that had previously bought the rights to adapt the novels of "The Wandering Earth" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "The Time Traveler's Wife" were all smiling, and they were more confident that they would be able to get a high box office.

If these rights were to be auctioned now, the price would have to double!

If you want to win the championship, you will go to Lin Han to buy IP, this sentence has gradually changed from a ridiculous sentence to a reality.

In addition to being the leader in the mainland market and the North American market, "The Matrix" has also successfully set a new wave of records in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan!

On Friday, with a score of 5.8 million Hong Kong dollars, the opening box office of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Chinese films maintained by "Cold War 2" was refreshed, and the popularity was maintained very well, and the action director of "The Matrix" came from Hong Kong, so there was also a sense of familiarity in it.

As for the box office in the Taiwan and Bay areas, it is much more weird, either the phenomenal films of Taiwan and the Bay have sunk into the sea on the mainland, or the mainland box office masterpieces have encountered Waterloo in Taiwan, and the box office gap between the two sides of the strait is huge for the same work, and there are very few works that can cause huge repercussions on both sides of the strait at the same time!

"The Matrix" became an accident this time, it captured the hearts of many young people in Taiwan, and it actually hit the box office of NT$13 million on the first day, which is equivalent to almost 3 million yuan.

But this is already the highest single-day record for mainland films in Taiwan in recent years!

The overseas market has always made Chinese films a little distressed, and few films can be released globally in a real sense, and the release version of "The Matrix" this time is more flattering, using English dialogue and English subtitles, so that overseas audiences are more cordial and can better understand what the movie wants to express.

After all, these dialogues were all modified by Lin Han according to the memory in his head, combined with his own version and the Wachowski brothers' version!

Therefore, it has a very good box office performance in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions, and each has set a new box office record.

Japan has always been a strange region, and movies are usually released late, often in other countries and regions for half a year, and they are late to start screenings.

As for the South Korean side, Galaxy Pictures has no plans to release it for the time being, they are still waiting for the final verdict of the piracy case, and they will release it if it is beneficial to themselves!

English-speaking countries such as Europe, Australia, and New Zealand also have a deep love for "The Matrix", with the novel of the same name as the foundation, coupled with various praises, young people can't help but go out.

The Matrix's vigorous global box office harvest has just begun, but this also raises a question, whether the box office results achieved by the English version of "The Matrix" are counted in the Chinese version?

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and some people feel that since they are no longer the same kind of dialogue, they should not be regarded as Chinese films.

While some people think that the content of the film has not changed, but the language has changed from Chinese to English, and if the core is the same, it is still a Chinese movie.

The two sides quarreled over these trivial matters, and it was quite lively under the noise!

With the passage of time, there are more and more content about "The Matrix" in the circle of friends, and even this topic has begun to attract traffic on the Internet.

"The Matrix is fully resolved, do you understand this movie?"

"Deciphering the Matrix, what is the Matrix, the Matrix, and Zion!"

"On the Symbolic Elements in The Matrix"

"Friends who can't understand the Matrix, read this article and understand!"

"Inventory of the most worthy of repeated re-savoring, The Matrix is number one!"

"Combine movies and novels, talk about Lin Han's things!"

"Classic Movie Review: The Matrix, Can the Savior Save the World?"

"I finally understood this movie - the world view of the matrix is completely interpreted!"

If you don't watch this movie, it seems to be outdated, for a while, everyone is discussing the real and the virtual, people are praising Chu Guang's beauty and prosperity, and Trinity has also gained a large number of male and female fans.

Of course, the biggest winner is obviously only Lin Han, he can not only get such a high box office income, but also various hidden benefits and prestige improvement, he seems to have become the most popular director in China!
