On March 7, Assassin's Creed was released on its 40th day, the day before he was due to be released. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tomorrow he will embark on a new journey and be released around the world.

After the first two weeks of hot releases, it began to gradually decline in popularity in the following period, following the heels of other big-box office movies and constantly reaping the box office.

However, none of this has anything to do with the Aurora game, they have moved the battlefield to a wider range overseas and to a larger audience.

.....

On March 8th, Assassin's Creed landed in a world of anticipation from players around the world.

Time passed quickly, a month before the closed beta of "League of Legends", "Assassin's Creed" had already received 170 million yuan in Japan and South Korea a few days before it was released in various countries, 700 million yuan in North America, 960 million yuan in Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian regions also received 190 million yuan, and Australia contributed 100 million ......

The total global box office reached an astonishing 3.67 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 1.53 billion US dollars including online copyright and disc revenue!!

Far beyond the European box office of "Resident Evil"!!

The box office record of Huaxia movies was directly refreshed by Aurora Games!!

"The Mermaid of the Deep Sea", which created the myth of the box office of Chinese movies that year, was directly squeezed into second place.

After the news came out, countless Chinese film and television people were stunned on the spot again.

Countless fans of the Aurora game have also begun to become fanatical, and those who have not become fans in the first place can't help but start worshipping.

After more than 20 days of overseas release, "Assassin's Creed" finally ended perfectly with a global box office of 3.76 billion yuan, and was officially released worldwide!

The box office of 3.76 billion yuan temporarily ranked third in the global box office of the year.

In addition, it also managed to reach the top 100 of the global box office charts, ranking 73rd, below "Strange Heroes".

Coupled with "Resident Evil", which broke into the top 100 of the box office charts before, Aurora Games has already made two movies into the charts!

After the news was transmitted back to China, it was like a nuclear bomb thrown into the film industry, and it exploded upside down!!

"Celebrate!!!" Hit the top 100 again!!"

"Make two movies, and two of them will enter the global box office charts!!"

"The vigorous promotion in China, as well as its natural proximity to European and American culture, have made this film popular from home to abroad!"

"If Hu Yun makes a few more movies like this, it is estimated that the position of the top of the three major directors in China is likely to be transposed!!"

"Hu Yun and Aurora Games have cooperated tacitly twice and ended with a happy ending, and the editor predicts that Hu Yun is likely to transfer to Aurora Pictures to take the lead. ”

Countless domestic media outlets have reported on it, and even the People's Daily, which has rarely reported this kind of news, celebrated the event with a half-page newspaper, praising Aurora Games and director Hu Yun by name.

On April 1, "Assassin's Creed" was officially released 63 days after its first release in China, and Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other regions were also officially released at the same time.

Although it and "Resident Evil" are called by fans as the current two-part series of Chinese movies bombarding the world, its release process is not at all like "Assassin's Creed", "Assassin's Creed" has been hotly discussed since the first day of release, and "Resident Evil" can be said to be moving forward in doubt and ridicule.

The heated discussion of "Assassin's Creed" is due to the frenzied hype of the film by Aurora Pictures, and there is a controversy abroad about the religious meaning of the film.

Although the selling point of this movie is not the pinnacle of the Assassin's Creed series, it has already been able to make Ye Le and them make a lot of money.

Ye Le believes that the next two movies will really push the plot of the Assassin's Creed series to a climax!

At present, the domestic box office of 1.23 billion yuan, after deducting various expenses of the state, theaters, and distributors, should be able to get 310 million yuan, and then subtract other publicity costs, and there will be a net profit of 290 million.

As for the overseas box office of 2.53 billion yuan, excluding high taxes, publicity fee sharing, theater chains, and distribution shares, it is estimated that the amount of money you will get is about 900 million yuan, which will not be too little.

In other words, Aurora Games' net profit at the global box office of "Assassin's Creed" reached 1.2 billion yuan!!

It really scared a lot of filmmakers.

"This is another domestic film that subverts the perception of Chinese films!!Is Aurora Games really a game-based game company? It's really against the sky! Why is every movie so profitable?"

Later, the film also won the Best Cinematography Award at the Oscars that year, as well as the Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design, although it only won the Best Costume Design award in the end, but it is undoubtedly an exciting thing for Aurora Pictures!

Strictly speaking, this is the first film of Aurora Pictures, and it is the first film of this "novice" who has been unanimously recognized by the international community and won an Oscar!

Although it is not as good as the original "Resident Evil" at the box office, it is no worse than "Resident Evil" in terms of word-of-mouth, and there is even a tendency to faintly overshadow it.

However, these are all later words, so we will not mention them for the time being.......

However, many people don't know that Ye Le is now making too much money in the conference room of Aurora Games.

"According to the current box office of 3.76 billion, we currently calculate that we have 700 million yuan of our own, and if we remove the production costs and publicity costs, the final profit is still 1.1 billion yuan. ”

At that time, Cheng Jun laughed and said: "Haha, fortunately, this time we will jointly release it with Paramount in overseas areas, and they have paid for a lot of free publicity for us, otherwise this movie may make a little less money." ”

But Ye Le immediately poured a basin of cold water on him: "1.1 billion is happy to be like this? In the past, this was definitely an astronomical amount of money for us compared to the box office revenue, but now our group's monthly profit is several times that of this." ”

"This film took us a year and wasted a lot of energy. Ay.... I used to think that movies were quite profitable, but now I find that our games are more profitable. ”

Speaking of which, Ye Le opened his mouth to arrange: "I heard that the script of the movie "Resident Evil II" has been written, so hurry up and prepare for the start of filming, and the TV series and anime of "Sword and Soul" should also be done. ”

"But I hope it's important for all of you to understand that we're going to have the big thing to come up. So I hope you all cheer up the spirit of 12 points, the game console of "League of Legends" is worth it for us to spend 100 million on publicity!"

"In short, we have to pay more for this game. From this closed beta onwards, we will do our best to bring it into the sight of players around the world!"
