Chapter 208: The First Day Box Office

"The domestic box office of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" exceeded one billion yuan, and the global box office exceeded 800 million yuan!"

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" broke the box office records in Huaxia, Neon, South Korea, Thailand, Yindu, and many other places!"

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is the second highest annual box office in the world, becoming the first Chinese film to appear on the global box office charts!"

"The famous Chinese director Li Mu was a god in the first war, and the Chinese box office of "Avatar" was not as good as "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", and the Asian box office was also suppressed!"

"The fall of the king of the world, the birth of a new king?"

"The birth of a god-level director!"

......

"Mr. Li... Mr. Li?"

Li Mu, who was staring at the newspaper in front of him and smirking, suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Zhao Dong's guy.

"Mr. Li, you are awake, it's seven o'clock in the morning, and we have called you several times!" Zhao Dong said eagerly.

Isn't this a studio? I'm not reading the newspaper at home?

patted his swollen head, Li Mu knew that he was dreaming, and it was a big dream.

But sooner or later, the things in the dream will become a reality, and Li Mu cheered himself up in his heart.

"How's the situation? Did the box office come out yesterday, how was Avatar?" Li Mu asked three questions with a face.

"The box office has come out, it's not bad, "Avatar" occupied 40% of the film schedule yesterday, and the box office was ...... in total" Zhao Dong smiled with a smile on his face, holding the document and preparing to report to Li Mu.

However, Li Mu, who was anxious, couldn't wait, and directly took the statistics in his hand and looked at them carefully, for fear of missing something.

As expected, yesterday's box office champion was "Avatar", with a first-day box office of 41 million, breaking the first-day box office record of 33 million set by "Thai Embarrassment".

"Thai Embarrassment" won 32 million box office with 30% of the film schedule, and the attendance rate was even higher than that of "Avatar".

and another blockbuster "Jin Yiwei" is much worse, with a box office of 15 million on the first day, only half of "Thai Embarrassment".

However, this data is also more in line with expectations, similar to the previous "October Siege".

Li Mu smiled when he saw this, although the outbreak of "Thai Embarrassment" drove the growth of the entire market, resulting in the box office of "Avatar" on the first day being a little higher than the original, and "Thai Embarrassment" was suppressed by "Avatar", but "Avatar" has the huge advantage of 3D, and the ticket price is much higher, which shows that the gap between the two is only in the ten percent of the film schedule.

And as there is more and more negative news, this number will only slowly decrease.

Li Mu, who was in a good mood, watched the employees who had stayed up all night and immediately gave them a morning off, let them have a good rest, and asked people to order breakfast from a nearby five-star hotel.

Li Mu turned on the computer and wanted to see what news was on the Internet right now.

"The famous Hollywood director James Cameron's latest masterpiece "Avatar" began to land in major theaters across the country yesterday, and the box office exceeded 40 million on the first day of release, easily breaking the previous first-day box office record created by "Thai Embarrassment"!"

"Yesterday's box office was released, "Avatar" won the first battle, and the box office of 41 million beat "Thai Embarrassment" to win the first day crown!"

"See the record again, can "Avatar" break the single-day box office record?"

"The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" has exceeded 30 million for 12 consecutive days, and the momentum is unabated, and the brick family said that the total box office can hit 800 million yuan!"

"Avatar" opens up the imagination and the kindness in the heart, and the director's respect for life is fully revealed in the movie. The most fascinating thing in the movie is the scenery of Pandora, the director shows a near-perfect planet, all kinds of plants in different forms glowing, huge waterfalls rushing down, and colorful flying dragons and other animals, both in 3D and in the story. James Cameron has proven that he is indeed the king of the world, and as the president of the army of VFX technology, the army of biodesign, the army of motion capture, the army of stuntmen, the army of dancers, the army of actors, the army of music and sound, he has brought science fiction into the 21st century in a jaw-dropping way, and this is "Avatar"!"

"Avatar: The IMAX myth that pushes the limits of the bladder and the senses!"

"The Dream Maker in the Movie – James Cameron!"

"Cameron has used state-of-the-art CG and 3D technology to create a masterpiece that looks like a god!"

......

The media comments on the Internet are overwhelmingly positive, presumably the actions of Huaying.

At present, the other party occupies the media advantage, and almost all the major websites are praised, while Li Mu has the advantage of public opinion, and both sides occupy one side.

However, judging from yesterday's box office statistics, the attendance rate of "Thai Embarrassment" and "Jinyiwei" has risen sharply since the evening, while the attendance growth curve of "Avatar" is not so obvious.

This shows that everything Li Mu and they did still worked, and many viewers watched the comments on the Internet again, coupled with the movie theater, which really affected their viewing choices.

As long as the negative word-of-mouth continues to spread, even if "Avatar" is against the sky, it will not escape the fate of failure.

Li Mu was in a good mood and continued to browse the news.

Suddenly, such a news caught his eye.

"Yesterday, the new film "Avatar" by "Titanic" director James Kamei was released in North America. Due to the "narrow encounter" with the blizzard, the box office of "Avatar" also "cooled down" a lot more than expected, and the total box office on the first day of release was 27 million yuan, which can only be regarded as unsatisfactory. Although the 3D movie "Avatar" is hailed as Cameron's masterpiece that has been sharpened for 12 years, many people in the industry are not optimistic about the box office of this movie, thinking that it will not have as much stamina as "Titanic". One is that this movie is too long, lasting three hours and minutes, and a film with such a terrifying length is obviously not conducive to the theater schedule. ”

It turned out that the highly anticipated "Avatar" had a first-day box office of only more than 20 million in North America, which may be very good for ordinary movies, but this is Cameron's "Avatar", you must know that the first-day box office of the North American box office champion "Transformers 2" in 09 was as high as 55 million, and the gap of two times made the world confused.

However, Li Mu does know that the trend of "Avatar" is similar to that of "Titanic", neither of which is concentrated in a certain period of time, but has maintained a stable output for several months.

But this matter can be used to make a fuss, people in their own base camps in North America have been given a cold reception, there is no reason why we should chase it so wildly!

Li Mu touched his chin and thought.
