Chapter 514 - Dominating the World (Asking for Recommendations)

The appearance of "The Martian" has become a fig leaf for Chinese films, most of the movies with high box office in recent years are relatively bad, and it is difficult for movies with good reputation to succeed at the box office. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

You don't see that among the top ten of the annual box office list, there are only a few Douban movies with qualified scores, and the summer file, Chinese New Year file, and Spring Festival file are even worse movies, and critics and audiences are angry!

Lin Han can often see similar comments under various box office or movie word-of-mouth reports, domestic movie pills, is it so difficult to come up with a movie with both box office and word-of-mouth?

After a whole year of bombardment of domestic bad movies, now "The Martian" has appeared gorgeously and has become a savior, proving to the audience that Chinese movies can actually make good movies!

It is said that the movie is good, and it has to rely on peers to set off, which is actually true at all, in fact, Lin Han and others did not expect that "The Martian" would have such a strong box office performance, and almost none of the other movies can play.

Even its overseas box office is also jaw-dropping, as a global simultaneous release of the movie, "The Martian" zero point field in Chinese mainland, the next began to be released in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places!

North America is the largest box office in the world today, and if you want to achieve good box office results, you must be inseparable from this market. As the distributor of "The Martian", Twentieth Century Fox has also made real preparations, and the super-large-scale release is the treatment only of Hollywood blockbusters with pure blood.

Friday's midnight show of The Martian, which landed in more than 3,000 theaters in North America, was a strong $2.4 million performance, which not only instilled confidence in distributors, but also brought enough surprises to filmmakers!

The movie tells the story of a Chinese astronaut, there is no Hollywood superstar familiar to North American audiences, and the director is not famous in North America.

It is no exaggeration to say that the most famous thing in the whole movie is definitely the name of the film, this is Lin Han's first novel to open the North American book market, and it has quite a lot of readers here!

The $2.4 million midnight show also set a new record for a Chinese-language film in North America, with the last major release going back to Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and earlier "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Not long after the box office report of the North American midnight show was transmitted back to China, there was good news in the rest of the market, and this space sci-fi film had a very bright performance in almost all major markets!

The global explosion is not only the Chinese box office market, but the global box office list this week was directly accepted by "The Martian".

In addition to the midnight show, it saved $18 million at the North American box office on Friday, a result that also beat "Space Gravity," another space-themed sci-fi film in the same schedule last year.

Then, in the two days of the weekend, the box office of "The Martian" did not dive, but maintained a strong trend, winning a total of $55 million at the box office in the first three days of the weekend, successfully topping the North American weekend box office list!

This strong result also allowed "The Martian" to pull the popular animated film "Elf Hotel 2" off the championship throne, and the Chinese film won the North American box office championship again after more than ten years!

The sequel to "Ghost Record", which was once popular in the United States, continued to decline, and in the past, this series of movies was to grab the top spot at the weekend box office as soon as it came out, but "Ghost Record 5" only earned $12 million at the box office in 3,320 theaters in its first weekend, ranking third.

No matter who it is, the terrifying opening result of "The Martian" has created the highest peak of his career, which is the highest box office in Xu Jiayan's actor career, the highest in Zheng Shuping's directorial career, and the highest in Lin Han's novel adaptation!

"The Martian" opened against the sky, and the audience's word-of-mouth evaluation was also excellent, on the Cinemascore score of American theaters, it got the only A in the new films released at the same time, with a freshness of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a full score on the popcorn index, and a high score of 81 points on Meta-Critic authoritative media, and a score of 8.8 on IMDB, squeezing into the top250!

The media who usually rarely watch Chinese movies are confused one by one, before they couldn't watch Chinese movies at all, but they regarded Chinese mainland as the most important market for box office growth, but they didn't expect them to counterattack.

"The Martian", which won the weekend box office list with an absolute advantage, although these authoritative media in North America want to pretend to be blind, but they can't treat readers as fools, they have to start reporting hard, and some professional film critics have written preliminary reviews!

Variety: The Martian will not only make Twentieth Century Fox a lot of money, but it will rekindle the desire of mankind to explore space, and it will inspire the birth of a new generation of astronauts.

The Hollywood Reporter: It's a pleasure to watch Xu's space one-man show, and under his interpretation, the protagonist's miracle of surviving on Mars is very convincing. This will be a strong contender for next year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!

New York Post: This movie perfectly reproduces the content of the novel, and it is a must-see movie for readers who love science fiction!

The Guardian: Just when we gave up hope, this really happened, and the Chinese finally made a movie that they could watch!

The Telegraph: By the standards of commercial films, The Martian is a very clever production, with a twist and turns that bring simple and pure satisfaction to the audience. It's not as ambitious as the rest of the sci-fi films, it plays a safe hand, and it's a commercial blockbuster with a brain that resonates more with real life.

Los Angeles Times: This is a detail-oriented film, and the scientific logic in Lin Han's script is very brilliant, and this may be the best sci-fi film of the year!

Daily Entertainment: "The Martian" is a rare film by a Chinese director in recent years that can bring pure enjoyment to the audience. The film's control of the rhythm of the story and the performances of the leading actors bring a strong entertainment, a good popcorn movie!

Almost all of the mainstream media gave "The Martian" positive reviews, and only a handful of magazines and critics deliberately went against the grain to gain attention, and almost no one cared about the bad reviews.

The global box office continues to be popular, Chinese mainland is of course the largest box office, the opening of nearly $100 million in the first week is particularly perfect, followed by more than 50 million in the North American market, in addition to the opening weekend box office of 7 million US dollars in France, and the UK 12 million US dollars is also quite good.

In addition, the German market, Australia, and Japan will also be released next week, and South Korea has the biggest surprise!

The crew of "The Martian" did not go to South Korea to promote it at all, but it mobilized 3.11 million viewers to support the show in the first week, and the market share reached 50%.

This week, "The Martian", which swept the world, won 58 championships in 72 countries and regions where it was released, and also won the top spot in the global weekend box office list!

In just one week, this sci-fi film from China has a global box office of $180 million, a veritable domination of the world!

In fact, it is not impossible for domestic films to win the global weekly box office championship, as long as the movies in the same period do not encounter any super blockbusters, there is a great chance, such as the eleventh prime time and the Spring Festival file, which are the time when domestic films are powerful.

Looking at the booming box office, many people are secretly cursing in their hearts, they want to see "The Martian" achieve a diving decline in the back, whether Chinese or foreigners are not short of such dark people.

The new week is coming as scheduled, from a weekend break to a weekday, and any movie has ushered in a box office crash, especially some blockbusters!

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, "The Martian" walked out of a surprising curve, the weekday box office decline was controlled at 45%, and on Monday tenaciously won the domestic box office of 60 million yuan, continuing to be the single-day box office champion!

The popularity of "The Martian" is uncontrollable, and the people in Chang'e Pictures have been extremely straight recently, and they have much more confidence in speaking.

Because in the following time, "The Martian" showed super resilience, becoming the first single-day in Chinese mainland for 18 consecutive days, winning the box office championship for three weeks, although it was interrupted in the fourth week, but in the next week, it was regained because of the small decline!

It was close to 600 million yuan in the first week, and another 480 million in the second week, pushing its cumulative box office to 1 billion yuan, and then winning 310 million in the third week...... When the movie was released, it earned a total of 1.64 billion yuan at the box office, which made Lin Han smile from ear to ear.

The North American box office won three consecutive championships, and won a box office of $240 million in 11 weeks of release, which is a new record for Chinese films in North America, double the 120 million of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although the price level at that time is completely incomparable with now!

Together, these two major box offices have earned a global box office of up to $500 million, and counting the box office of the United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Australia, and South America, the global box office of "The Martian" has actually reached $720 million!

This is a rather incredible achievement, Lin Han can get a dividend of $36 million with the 5% box office sharing agreement he signed, you must know that Lin Han has written so many books this year The total income is only 72 million US dollars, and a movie is directly worth half of it.

In fact, box office dividends are not a new topic in the industry, Xu Jiayan also signed a box office dividend, but he signed a net profit dividend, which is different from Lin Han's direct global box office dividend, Rao is so, he can also earn the most money in his life!

Once on Earth, Lin Han remembered that Robert Downey Jr. has been ranked first on the actor's income list for many years with the role of Iron Man, and he earned $80 million for this role in one year, which is quite a box office dividend.

I was delayed in the hospital for too long during the day, especially when I just went to see a tinnitus, but the doctor asked me to do an MRI, which scared me to urine, and I was so frightened that I paid more than 800 examination fees, but I found that the fart was not checked, and I was distressed to death!

Tomorrow it has to erupt quickly, like a volcanic eruption.
