Chapter 015: First Day Box Office
To be honest, the release period of "The Wizard of Wonderland" was not very good, because at the end of July this year, a shocking bullet train incident occurred. This incident made a lot of noise, and even gave birth to a hot word, called whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
It is indeed difficult to convince the public to say such a thing from the mouth of a person responsible for the accident. Moreover, the bullet train incident also triggered a big discussion on the safety of the bullet train.
Some people may say that the bullet train incident is a matter of July, what does it have to do with the release of "The Wizard of Wonder"?
In fact, there is a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it. This relationship is mainly on September 27th, when the Modu subway collided, CCTV once again coined a word: mild rear-end collision!
What is a mild rear-end collision? Is there a mild rear-end collision also divided into mild and severe rear-end collisions? A mild rear-end collision caused 271 injuries, so what will a severe rear-end collision cause?
From the high-speed rail body that you dare not believe it or not, to the mild body of the subway rear-end collision, only two months have passed, and the safety of domestic traffic is getting hotter and hotter, everyone is staring at this aspect, and many people don't want to take rail transit when they are fine.
Until the release of "The Wizard of Wonder", the domestic headlines were monopolized by these topics, and "The Wizard of Wonderland" couldn't grab too many headlines at all.
Not only the headlines, but even the social pages that "The Wizard of Wonder" may occupy have not been captured. The animation industry has always been an industry supported by the state, and now that "The Wizard of Wonderland" has made a technological breakthrough, of course, the social page will report it.
It's a pity that this topic is still not as serious as the traffic problem, and only some fragmentary reports have been obtained.
On the morning of the 30th, the box office statistics of Manfeng Cinema came out, and Liu Shuo and He Dan waited in front of the computer together, waiting for the data to come over. The total box office of Manfeng Cinema is 20 million, and the box office of "The Wizard of Wonderland" is 6 million, with an attendance rate of 30%.
"That's good!" He Dan said in surprise: "Your comic should be able to make money!"
"It's just the box office on the first day!" Liu Shuo didn't care, he and He Dan explained: ""The Wizard of Wonder" was released, and Manfeng Cinema had the most films, and the box office of other theaters could be counted as 2 million. ”
"That's not bad! Yesterday and today are both working days, and by the time the 11th National Day stall arrives, the box office will definitely be more!"
"But don't forget, it's not just us who are aiming for the National Day file!" Liu Shuo said with a sigh: "Don't say that the previous "Xinhai Revolution" and "White Legend" are the "Painted Wall" that was released with us yesterday!
"And there are several more films released today, and there are two animated films, "Chicken Mom Duck Boy?" and "Holy Dragon Knight" are all family-friendly animations that will inevitably suppress our box office. The only thing I'm glad about now is that "Captain Rose was released at the beginning of the month, otherwise our box office would have been even worse!"
He Dan shook his head, saying that he didn't understand the truth here, "I think this box office is good, as long as I wait until the eleventh, it will definitely increase." ”
"I hope so!" Liu Shuo couldn't explain it to her, because the movie was amazing, and no one could predict his trend.
If it follows the normal trend, "The Wizard of Wonderland" will be able to get a box office of about 70 million on the eleventh, and then it will be affected by internal piracy, and it would be good to be able to get another one or two million, but it will still be able to reach hundreds of millions.
However, even if the box office is hundreds of millions, "The Wizard of Wonderland" has not returned to its original cost. The cost of this animated film is as high as more than 40 million, which may soar to 70 million to 80 million if it were not for the low labor cost in China.
The cost of 40 million requires at least about 120 million box office to return to the cost, and if only 100 million box office is taken, "The Wizard of Wonderland" will definitely lose money.
Liu Shuo seemed to have seen the ending, a loss of a few million was really not a loss for him, and he could still accept such a result.
After the afternoon, the box office of other theaters was also counted, which was no different from Liu Shuo's expectations, and the box office of other theaters was worse than 100,000 to 2 million, with an attendance rate of 28%.
This kind of attendance rate is actually quite a lot, and there are relatively few people who watch movies on weekdays, if it weren't for yesterday's premiere, which attracted a lot of comic fans to watch it, it would be very good to be able to get such a half.
The box office on the first day was 8 million, which is already the highest among domestic animated films in recent years.
You must know that "The Wizard of Wonderland" is not a family-friendly animated movie, but an adult animated movie, and the crowd watching it is much smaller. At this time, teenagers are the main force of animated films!
Fortunately, Liu Shuo has cultivated a lot of comic fans in recent years, and as some of the first comic fans entered the society, their own purchasing power increased, which gave Liu Shuo the courage to fantasize about returning to the problem in China.
In the evening, there began to be some film reviews of "Chicken Mom Duck Boy" and "Holy Dragon Knight" on the Internet, "Chicken Mom Duck Boy", the national animation that beat "Rio Adventure" and "Smurfs" in South Korea, suffered a Waterloo in China, and the reputation was good, but the box office was dismal. It is estimated that it has something to do with filmmaking, and it may also have something to do with piracy.
And "Holy Dragon Knight", the animated film of the Rock Kingdom series, has gained quite a bit, and it is said that there are a lot of people watching it.
On October 1, the box office of "The Wizard of Wonderland" went up a lot, and the box office reached 11 million on the second day. The box office of "Chicken Mom and Duck Boy" is only nearly one million, and the bad reputation of "Holy Dragon Knight" has reached more than 1.2 million box office.
The animation "Chicken Mom and Duck Boy" is based on the comic of the same name, but domestic children have not seen this comic at all, and it is understandable to choose "Holy Dragon Knight" more!
Many netizens found that this National Day, a dark horse was killed. "The Wizard of Wonderland" ranks firmly in front of many big productions.
"Painted Wall", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Xinhai Revolution" and other films did not exceed the box office of "The Wizard of Wonderland" too much. As for "Summer Joy", which was released yesterday, the word-of-mouth box office was not very good, and it was completely reduced to cannon fodder for several films.
In the next few days, the box office further maintained growth, and the box office of "The Wizard of Wonderland" followed suit, winning 15 million on October 1, 16 million on the 2nd, 15 million on the 3rd, 13 million on the 4th, and 12 million on the 5th.
On the 7th and 6th, before the box office was counted, Liu Shuo saw a shocking news on the Internet, Jobs is dead! A giant of a technology company is dead, and an innovative genius is dead!
