Chapter 426: Two hundred million on the first day

The summer file is still in full swing, and the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" on the first day of release on August 2 finally fell to 210 million.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the box office reached 180 million, and it was a bit disappointing to only win 30 million box office in the remaining hours.

It can be seen that film scheduling is absolutely crucial for a movie, and according to the theater reaction, most of the movie theaters were rarely full that night.

Not only IMAX giant screens, 3D, but even 2D theaters are full, so that audiences who have not booked tickets in advance come to the cinema only to find that the tickets have been sold out.

And "Crossfire: Operation Mekong" had a big drop in the box office on the second day of its release, only receiving 140 million box office, a drop of nearly 20%, which is definitely a little unacceptable for a high-reputation movie that has been released for two days.

And this led to the release of "The Hunger Games" on the 3rd, "Crossfire: Operation Mekong" dropped by ten points, but "Looking for the Dragon" still maintained the previous schedule.

Without Wanda Cinemas, this 32% film schedule is already the limit that other theaters can give, after all, they can't give all the films to Li Mu.

Although "The Hunger Games" is not a popular Hollywood movie, it also won 20 million box office on the first day of release, which is not bad compared to 15% of the film schedule, after all, not all movies are more than 100 million or even 200 million in a single day.

At present, there are still many domestic movies that cannot touch the threshold of 100 million yuan, and the first day of "The Hunger Games" is very dazzling, after all, there is almost nothing attractive about this movie.

Basically, not many people have seen it in China, and it is not as good as some street books of Singularity, but there are three or four thousand collections, and this is a movie with women as the absolute protagonists.

What's more critical is that the heroine is completely unfamous, let alone box office appeal.

However, what is completely different from the domestic situation is that "The Hunger Games" broke out in the United States.

At 20 million meters at midnight, "The Hunger Games" successfully beat Christopher Nolan's "Batman: The Dark Knight" at the midnight premiere of $18.5 million at the box office, ranking seventh in film history, and the top four were occupied by the two major series "Harry Potter" and "Twilight".

This also set a new record for the highest midnight box office for a non-sequel film in film history, and a box office record for the midnight box office of a non-sequel film.

The first-day box office of more than 68 million also surpassed the 67 million yuan of "Batman: The Dark Knight" again, and at the same time created many records such as the highest box office on the first day of release of a non-sequel film in film history, and squeezed into the top five single-day box office list of film premieres in film history.

However, the box office of "Crossfire: Operation Mekong", which was affected by the film schedule, did not drop much, and there was still a box office of 1.3 billion, and the trend was quite stable.

In the next two days, "Looking for the Dragon" firmly occupied the throne of the daily box office champion, earning 420 million in two days, falling below the 200 million mark on the 5th, and the total box office reached 850 million in the four days of release.

"Crossfire: Operation Mekong" received a total of 250 million on Saturday and Sunday, and the total box office reached 690 million in five days of release!

"The Hunger Games" grossed 65 million in its first weekend and is hopefully expected to surpass 200 million.

In the United States, "The Hunger Games" hit a super high box office of 1.5 billion yuan in the first weekend, breaking the record of "Spider-Man 3" setting a third place with 1.5 billion US dollars.

The potential of this medium-budget film, which cost only 80 million meters, shocked the whole of Hollywood, and the original author Susan Collins also benefited from it, and in addition to her huge fame, many Hollywood studios have set their sights on her for other things.

The heroine of the movie has also become a hot actress in Hollywood, and Jenverny Lawrence, who holds the "Hunger Games" series, has also instantly stepped into the ranks of A-list stars, and she will not have to worry about falling off the line in the next few years.

In the next four working days, several movies declined to varying degrees, and "Looking for the Dragon" only received 320 million box office in four days, and the total box office reached 117 million.

The effects of the concentrated explosion of the previous few days are finally showing, and the box office will inevitably fall sharply after most of the potential has been consumed.

From 1.9 billion on Sunday to 90 million on Monday, it fell by more than half, and then continued to fall at a trend of more than 10 million.

And "Crossfire: Operation Mekong" also faced the same situation, harvesting 170 million in four days, and the total box office reached 860 million, and it is not a problem to exceed 1 billion.

Whether it is the 860 million in "Crossfire: Operation Mekong", or the 1190 million in the eight days against the sky in "Looking for the Dragon", it has made the outside world full of praise.

Especially "Looking for the Dragon", which is nearly 1.2 billion in eight days, neither the previous "Hong Kong Embarrassment" nor the record-setting "Wolf Warrior" has achieved such an achievement, which has made the media crazy.

The movie "Looking for the Dragon" is adapted from the Internet "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which tells the story of a young tomb robbery team, and the film brings together many domestic first-line stars. Since its release on August 2, the total box office revenue of the film in the first weekend has been 850 million, breaking three records of domestic films in the zero point field, the first-day box office of domestic films, and the single-day box office of domestic films.

According to the latest box office data of Maoyan Films, as of 1 o'clock on August 10, the cumulative box office of the film in 8 days of release exceeded the 1.2 billion mark, successfully ranking fifth in the domestic film box office. The domestic film critics also spoke highly of the film, with scores of 8.4 and 7.9 on Douban and Time.com respectively, and even some industry insiders believe that "Looking for the Dragon" is expected to surpass "Wolf Warrior" and become the highest-grossing film in Chinese history. ”

"The movie "Looking for the Dragon" is directed by Li Mu, starring Lu Yi, Deng Chao, Chen Qiaoen, Chen He, Liu Shishi, etc., is the first Chinese fantasy adventure blockbuster, the first day and won the single-day box office champion, surpassing the first-day and single-day box office records held by "Hong Kong", and creating a series of records such as 400 million in two days, 600 million in three days, and 800 million in four days, becoming the first blockbuster in the summer file, it can be expected, "Looking for the Dragon" is not difficult to break the box office record of domestic films held by "Wolf Warrior"!"

......

The movie has only been released for less than ten days, and it seems that these reporters have already won the championship, in fact, everyone knows that it is impossible to surpass "Wolf Warrior", with the current trend and the release of the big ship, it is a problem to break two billion.

But reporters don't care so much, as long as it catches the eye, they can write whatever they want.
