Chapter 164: Incredible Box Office Trend [4/4]

Stay up late to code words and ask for a monthly pass!

――

Matthew Ront closed his eyes and looked back at the computer screen.

But the number one is still not "Raging Sea", but the 12.57 million of "Christmas Elf".

What made him even more unacceptable was that "This Man is from Earth", which should have completely withered at the box office, actually got a box office of 12.47 million without increasing the number of theaters.

This number is nearly 6 million higher than the premiere, which is completely beyond his imagination, and "The Battle of the Furious Sea", which he thought would definitely be the first, only ranked third at the single-day box office.

is 700,000 less than the second-ranked "This Man is from Earth", and he really can't believe such a result.

"Isn't it a bad reputation, why did the box office suddenly go up?" said Matthew Runt with a thousand and ten thousand disbelief, clicking on IBDM.

The rating of "Angry Sea" still has a good score of 7.9 points, but what makes him can't believe is that the score of "This Man is from Earth" has climbed to 7.3 points.

The number of ratings has reached 13,000, and the freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes has risen to 69%.

Frustrated, Matthew Runt turned off his computer and picked up the newspaper.

In the bottom right corner of the front page, however, is the striking headline "Immortality, Justin Creates the Most Science Fiction" with page numbers marked.

Matthew Runt frowned and flipped to the page where the news was located, and the news actually occupied a page.

"The Raging Sea" only occupied a quarter of the space yesterday, and the difference in treatment compared to "This Man from Earth" is so huge that Matthew Ront can't help but wonder who is the blockbuster.

"It's a sci-fi film of the decade, and it's a terrible pseudo-movie.

It's an absurd story. Again, this is a story that can be believed.

This is "This Man is from Earth". You can refuse it. But you can't stop someone from loving it.

A simple storyline, a single scene, and dialogue are the source of the film's charm.

This is another typical Justin film......"

Looking at the Los Angeles Times film review, Matthew Runt couldn't stand it.

However, it was not only the Los Angeles Times, but almost immediately after Roger Albert's long review came out, major newspapers launched their own reviews of "This Man is from Earth".

"Miracle 3.0, don't judge miracles by box office!" is a subheadline in The New York Times.

Crawford Toby, a professional film critic for USA Today, wrote in his column: "I spent two days thinking about and reminiscing about this classic science fiction. Once again, Justin has proven that his talent never ends. ”

The Hollywood Reporter even recommended "This Man from Earth" and decided that the film was enough to withstand the title of Miracle 3.0.

However, not all media outlets praised "This Man from Earth", as the Washington Chronicle wrote: "This is an ultra-low-cost system, but it is a lack of sincerity."

The only thing I wanted to explore was how Justin persuaded Natalie to play a role that was almost a vase. ”

Luther, a film critic for the New Jersey Star Tribune, commented: "It's a film that allows me to sleep for 90 minutes, bad shots, bad actors, Justin miracles no more." ”

However, there is more and more discussion about "This Man is from Earth" on the Internet, and there are more and more comments compared to the poor number of comment participants on the first day.

The fan ratings of major websites are improving little by little.

Such a situation is the hope shared by Chen Tian and the three companies. The box office is the best proof of this.

Premieres on Friday, and Saturday is generally the peak box office of the week.

Monday is a working day. The normal Sunday box office is far worse than Saturday, and even worse than Friday.

"This Man is from Earth" premiered on Friday and won 6.78 million in a single day, ranking third, soaring to 12.47 million the next day, only 100,000 short of the single-day box office champion "Christmas Elf".

The desired effect was eight million at the box office on Sunday, but "This Man is from Earth" surprised everyone.

It climbed from third to second, advanced one place again, and won the first single-day box office championship.

And the box office decline was the smallest of all the films, down only 27.5%, and finally the single-day box office reached 9.05 million.

No one expected that "This Man is from Earth", which did not do well at the box office on the first day, would stubbornly get a box office of 28.3 million in three days over the weekend.

George Ed was relieved to see the box office numbers for the three days of the weekend, although "Hard Candy" ended up surpassing 100 million after only 30 million in the first three days.

But such a situation is too rare, especially the ban on the film has boosted the box office.

George Ed doesn't think that "This Man is from Earth" will have such luck, in his opinion, it is impossible to exceed 100 million at the box office, even if it is screened for half a year.

In front of his eyes, he looked at Chen Tian naked like a clown with arrogant eyes.

However, ordinary fans and professionals have found something unusual, that is, "This Man is from Earth", which rarely received film reviews on the first day, has gradually increased since Saturday, and the pace of acceleration on Sunday is still unabated.

On the first day, Metacritic only included a 5-point review from the New York Post, and by Monday morning, the 34 media outlets had a terrifying 89.

Such a score has surpassed the 86 points of Chen Tian's previous two works "Buried Alive" and 85 points of "Hard Fruit Candy", and the comprehensive scores of Chen Tian's three films have also become the top three on this year's Metacritic website.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has risen to 74%, and the IBDM score has also reached 7.6.

Luis, a member of Metacritic with a score of 10, wrote: "I've watched this movie twice, but it still doesn't satisfy me.

I'll also watch it for the third or even fourth time, and I don't need a big cost or a cool special effect. I like pure sci-fi like that. ”

Another member who scored 10 points said, "Another classic rendition. Justin's single-scene use has reached the top level.

Low-cost, single-scene, limited actors. Justin selfishly branded himself after three labels.

Produced by Justin, it must be a high-quality product, and I am very much looking forward to "Little Sunshine Beauty"!"

"This film redefined my understanding of science fiction films. Anqi, a senior user who also played a lot of points, is also a member of the classic "This Man is from Earth" the more he watches, "The special effects that burn money, the special effects that are so realistic that you are in it, and the simple and old-fashioned plot are already a template for science fiction."

Rough visuals, single to almost no variation of camera techniques, scenes that can be ignored, few limited actors, and a soundtrack that doesn't count as a soundtrack all sound so bad at first.

However, Justin's magical hand splices this qiē into a real sci-fi movie. A qiē is almost perfect. ”

The good reputation of "This Man is from Earth" did not come so quickly, but it was unstoppable.

More people are drawn to the theater.

On Monday's working day, most of the screening halls were crowded, but the "This Man from Earth" screening hall still had an attendance rate, although the attendance rate was also low.

But it is enough to make other films envious and jealous, and the discussion about the film on the Internet is becoming more and more intense.

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, the box office was released on Monday, and only four films in the entire North America grossed more than one million in a single day.

"This Man is from Earth" topped the list with 3.42 million, which is even better than the results of "The Matrix 3" that worked last week.

What's even more unbelievable is that by Tuesday, "This Man Is From Earth" not only did not plummet at the box office. On the contrary, there has been some recovery, and the single-day box office reached 4.11 million.

On Wednesday, the single-day box office remained at 4 million, and the single-day box office champion for four consecutive days made Matthew Runt and Dan Fellman angry.

Compared with "This Man is from Earth", the box office of these two films is worrying. Although "Angry Sea" is the second highest box office every day, the box office is below two million every day.

The four-day box office of "Warner Superstars" is not half of the box office that "This Man Is From Earth" got on Sunday.

"Justin, I don't know how to describe you. Eric Lomis's expression was a little weird, a smile but a little far-fetched, not a smile but a little far-fetched.

"Eric, your expression is too complicated. Chen Tian said with a smile.

"This box office result completely exceeded expectations, and no one will.

Look at his reputation, it continues to grow, albeit slowly.

But it can't resist the enthusiasm of fans, especially young people. ”

Chen Tian didn't think that this film would win over many middle-aged and elderly people, even if the beginning of the film indicated that the plot of Jesus in it should not be too delved into purely for artistic effect, it is unacceptable to many middle-aged and elderly people.

So in the beginning, Chen Tian's target was people between the ages of 18 and 35, who had faith in time but hardly as strong as their parents, or even grandparents.

And they are willing to think and like to participate, and "This Man is from Earth" clearly fits their characteristics.

This is why the word-of-mouth continues to climb and the incredible box office trend.

On Thursday, "This Man is from Earth" once again won a single-day box office of 4.22 million, and won the daily box office championship for the fifth consecutive day.

The total box office unconsciously crossed the seemingly incredible 40 million mark and came to 44.05 million.

Such a box office trend is so incredible in the eyes of everyone, although there is still a long way to go from the 100 million yuan mark, but it is surprising enough to reach the 44 million mark.

The Hollywood Reporter once again put Chen Tian on the front page, and "Where Does Miracle 3.0 End?" was the front page headline of the latest issue of the newspaper on November 21.

While Scarlett is happy about the box office upturn, she is also a little depressed.

Because today is Friday, that is, Chen Tian asked her to set aside a day for him. (To be continued......)
