Chapter 305
Previously, "The Queen Wears Prada" received more than 170 million overseas box office, which was dazzling enough, completely sweeping away Chen Tian's bad reputation that the overseas box office was almost zero and could only be used exclusively in North America.
And "Raid" got a box office of 16.74 million on the first day overseas, although it was only one-tenth of 170 million, "Raid" was only released for one day, and it was released in 65 countries and regions, and a full 27 countries and regions will be released one after another.
Among them, there are also global box office centers such as China, Japan, Germany, Spain, and South Korea, and many of the 65 overseas countries and regions that are released in the first batch are released in a small number of theaters.
According to the feedback received now, the attendance rate of many small number of theater releases is very ideal, and in such a situation, it is bound to increase a certain number of films.
And a film that could sell 92 countries is something Harvey Weinstein never expected.
After all, such an overseas screening scale can only be achieved by real super blockbusters, and even some super blockbusters may not be able to do it.
The sleek and simple plot of "The Raid" is undoubtedly an important reason for the excellent sales of the film's overseas release rights, and the lack of dialogue required reduces the cultural differences between countries and regions.
The first day of "The Raid" overseas box office was unexpected by many and expected, and Roger Albert was eager to see how far "The Raid" ended up in North America and overseas.
"The Raid", which grossed more than 23 million in North America on Friday, still made other films unable to look up to on Saturday, and the single-day box office reached a terrifying 26.43 million.
105 million!
This is the total box office of "Raid" since its release six days ago, and it has exceeded 100 million in North America in six days. The whole Miramax went crazy.
"Breaking 100 million in six days. Just for You" - this is the front page banner of "The Raid" and Miramax and Chen Tian's official websites. The eye-catching 100 million words are written in a particularly chic way.
Chen Tian imagined that "Raid" would break 100 million in North America, after all, his previous films had saved a lot of word of mouth, and each film exceeded 100 million in North America, even if a few films were difficult to exceed 100 million.
He didn't expect that "The Raid" would break 100 million in North America so quickly, even if he wanted to arrange the release on Monday to attract hardcore moviegoers.
But even so, he didn't expect that the day of breaking 100 million would come so early, and it only took six days to complete the journey of breaking 100 million.
Such a speed of breaking 100 million, even some super blockbusters may not be able to complete when the film market is very hot, not to mention that the release date of "The Raid" is now on Monday instead of Friday.
But that's it, the investment of such a film as "The Raid" does not exceed 3 million US dollars. Coupled with the fact that the film was advertised as $5 million or less, it reached $100 million at the North American box office in just six days, a result that other Hollywood companies were envious of.
If Chen Tian's films have been niche and opportunistic before, with a box office of over 100 million, then "Raid", an action movie that is not niche and follows the popular style, completely proves his ability to attract money.
"I can't believe it, it broke 100 million in six days, and it was released from Monday, Bob maybe we made the right choice!" said Harvey Wienstein, looking at his younger brother Bob Weinstein.
At the place where they decided to cooperate with Chen Tian and David Ellison, the brothers had been in talks for a long time, and even thought about becoming the real speaker of Miramax for a while.
After all, Chen Tian and Ellison are young brothers and sisters, and they are the predecessors in the complex world of Hollywood, and they are also among the best masters.
However, from the moment Chen Tian suddenly sat firmly in the position of chairman of Miramax, their brothers felt the difficulty of becoming Miramax's discursor to get rid of Chen Tiankong.
Over time. With the release of Chen Tian's film after film, they felt that it was almost impossible for their original ideas to survive.
Now that "The Raid" has achieved excellent results in North America and overseas, Harvey Weinstein's inner ambition has been choked smaller and smaller.
"What can I do. Looking for a better opportunity?" asked Bob Weinstein, looking at his brother.
He knew Harvey very well, and he knew that the current situation had made Harvey almost give up his original idea, but the end of it so quickly made Harvey a little unwilling.
"Yes, where to start over? Where is it better to have a platform here? From a young age to become a big giant, then we are also heroes, aren't we?
What's more, even if we have to leave, I think Justin Chen's film can give us a glorious resume that is not worse than in the past. ”
Although Chen Tian's film has not yet been recognized by the Oscar and Golden Globe Awards, Harvey is full of confidence in Chen Tian.
Although Chen Tian is young, he is not a director who is only dedicated to commercial services, even if he is not so eager for awards, he believes that Chen Tian will definitely have expectations for the Oscars and Golden Globes after the box office and word of mouth are reaped.
Now that Chen Tian has shown his super control over many film genres, he is also full of confidence in Chen Tian for films that can impact awards.
Another document in Harvey Weinstein's hand clearly shows the box office on the second day of overseas release, compared with 16.74 million on the first day, the overseas box office on the second day has improved significantly to 27.89 million.
Among them, Mexico, which won the box office on the first day, although the single-day box office increased by nearly two million to 3.77 million, it failed to beat the United Kingdom, which increased by as much as 3.23 million to 4.85 million in a single day.
Although $4.85 million is only £2.6 million at the box office, which is still a huge gap from the British single-day box office record of £5 million held by "Harry Potter 3", it is already a proud achievement for "The Raid".
The popularity of "Raid" has directly driven the popularity of kung fu learning, even if the bloody style of "Raid" has been complained by the American Adolescent Parents Council, but this cannot stop the reality that the influence of "Raid" continues to expand.
"The Raid", which won big on Friday and Sunday, came to Sunday, the last holiday before the working day, and everyone knows that this holiday is very likely to be the last day that the North American box office of "The Raid" will continue to break 10 million.
After all, after a whole week of popularity, no matter how good the film is, the fever will slowly subside.
Not to mention that "Raid" is very good, and the fight on the scene is cool, even if the plot is much higher than the original film, it can't reach the point where people can watch it many times.
17.33 million, this is the Sunday box office of "The Raid", although it is a full nine million lower than Saturday, but everyone from Chen Tian himself to Miramax expressed satisfaction with this result.
And "Raid" once again achieved a single-day score of 22.18 million overseas, and it also became the first work in Chen Tian's career to win the global box office. (To be continued......)
