611.The Four Kingdoms Fight for Hegemony (Part II) (2/3)

"X-Men: Wolverine" may not be expected, but it is also very popular with the help of comics.

Look at the 4,009 theaters in North America as soon as he hit the stage, and you can understand how popular it is.

And this film is indeed a competition, the box office data on the night of the premiere did not live up to the expectations of comic fans, and the data of 7.8 million is already a very good result.

Inevitably, "2012" continued to decline at the box office on the same day because of the depressed film scheduling rate and haode time period, and only received 31 million box office, although this is still an amazing data, but it is obviously a lot lower than the momentum of 60 or 70 million in the first two days.

"Damn the theater, which broken movie is better than "2012"? Wait, they'll regret it. In the staff cafeteria, many employees complained.

"Yes, although I am a fan of comics, I absolutely can't bear this film."

"Okay, I don't look at it either, whoever looks at it is a bastard."

"Agreed."

In their opinion, their boss's film is countless times higher than that "X-Men: Wolverine", and the reason for the sudden drop in the box office is because the broken film occupies the pit and does not, and takes away the box office results of "2012" in vain.

Ye Sumang happened to pass by the restaurant and heard the discussion of the staff, as well as their seemingly childish boycott activities, for some reason Ye Sumang, who still had a little haze in his heart, disappeared in an instant.

Employees will complain like this, which proves that they care about their company, and only with this kind of mind can there be cohesion, and the company can do well, as for the lost box office. Ye Sumang didn't care, the battle didn't end in a day, it still had to depend on the days to come.

"BOSS, "X-Men: Wolverine" will have a 23% schedule tomorrow, and ours will remain at about 19%, as for Star Trek, which is about to premiere. There is no specific data. After returning to the office, Severn immediately handed over the latest report to Ye Sumang.

"It is estimated that it will not be less than 20%." Ye Sumang replied while reading the report carefully.

"It's going down again." Ye Sumang rubbed his temples and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the appearance of strong competitors will undoubtedly lower his film scheduling rate, 19% is not much, but it is still a little insufficient in Ye Sumang's eyes.

After all, I still want to hit a higher box office, and I can't do it without a high film schedule.

"Prepare for the next move. Let the sites start building momentum. Ye Sumang thought about it, put down the data report in his hand, and ordered.

A confident smile crossed the corner of Saiwen's mouth when he heard this, and he promised, "I will definitely complete the task." ”

The next day, the box office data of major movies are still competing for the hot, because Ye Sumang's early establishment advantage is too amazing, so no one can shake the champion position of the weekly box office list and the monthly box office list for the time being, but in the single-day box office, it is still hot to criticize and "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine".

The scheduling rate of the two is basically the same. But "X-Men: Wolverine" has nearly 2,000 more theaters than Ye Sumang.

But even so, in the face of such an opponent. "2012" is still not afraid.

And this is also the first face-to-face official duel between the two, and the final result is very surprising, "2012" did not collapse at the box office under the high pressure of "X-Men: Wolverine", but persevered, harvesting 28.5 million box office data in a single day, and also let its total box office continue to move towards the 400 million mark.

And his opponent "X-Men: Wolverine" received 35.2 million box office in a single day. After this achievement appeared, many people couldn't help but sigh.

Although this data is higher than "2012", but looking at the overall situation, it has shown a failure, you must know that so far "2012" has a total box office of almost 400 million yuan, compared to "X-Men: Wolverine" The first-day box office revenue is not very satisfactory. According to the next development, it is impossible to surpass "2012" at the total box office.

Many filmmakers have also moved their expectations away from this film, and the heavy responsibility of blocking "2012" has undoubtedly been imposed on the upcoming "Star Trek".

The performance of "Star Trek: Open the Future", which premiered on the same day, was indeed better than that of "X-Men: Wolverine", with a box office figure of 10.1 million yuan that night, which was more than 2 million yuan higher than "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine".

With this good starting point, "Star Trek: Open the Future" has also officially joined the box office war, and the May file has also temporarily presented a situation of 'Three Kingdoms'.

At present, "2012" is undoubtedly the most powerful Wei State, with a total box office of nearly 400 million, and a single-week box office of more than 300 million yuan.

And "Star Trek: Open the Future" is the potential of Shu, the good performance of the first night box office data and the word-of-mouth all the time, it can be said that this film is currently being looked forward to by many filmmakers.

As for "X-Men: Wolverine", it was automatically assigned to the most inconspicuous Wu Kingdom, and no one expected it to stop "2012" from continuing to swallow the box office, but it seems to be no problem to drag it down.

And on May 3, the competition between the three films is becoming more and more intense.

On the same day, "Star Trek" ranked second with 21%, while "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine" was only 17%, but "2012" unconsciously rose a little, reaching 22%.

According to this film scheduling data, it is obvious that the theater chain has a new view on the follow-up staying power of "2012", and obviously thinks that it can continue to be popular.

It's no wonder that even after two days of disguised suppression, the box office of "2012" is still considerable, and because of the decrease in the film scheduling rate, the attendance rate has increased, and each hall can ensure that there are more than seventy percent of the audience, and 3D tickets are still selling hot, which is very haode momentum.

Compared to "X-Men: Wolverine", it is much worse, although the number of theaters is more than "2012", but the attendance rate is only about six floors, which is obviously not ideal for a new film.

When Star Trek arrives. Because the word-of-mouth accumulation of its previous work is really good, the theater is very relieved about it, so the scheduling rate for it is not low.

Soon, the box office data for May 3 came out.

"2012" did not collapse in front of the two films, still made the list with stable results, and beat "X-Men Episode: Wolverine" again. The box office data on the day reached 22.6 million.

The box office data of "X-Men: Wolverine" fell sharply on the second day, compared with 35 million on the first day, he only earned 20.9 million on the second day, which is even lower than "2012", which has been released for more than ten days.

At that time, "Star Trek" lived up to expectations, and the box office of 46.2 million won a pretty good start, and also became the box office champion of the day.

But at this moment, no one pays attention to this small list, because after "2012" achieved 22.6 million box office, a new record was born, and "2012" has already crossed the $400 million mark!! And it exceeded $400 million at the fastest speed in American film history!

And the box office has reached this step. It will also mean that Ye Sumang has earned back all the investment, and all the revenue from the overseas box office and the North American box office in the future will become the profit of Miramax after deducting the theater share and taxes!

Earn, big earn!!

got the good news that the box office exceeded 400 million, Ye Sumang was also happy, no matter how the box office fell in the face of strong opponents recently, but it was quite powerful to achieve this result, and the 2009 annual box office champion is currently controlled by "2012". And this dazzling data makes this champion sit very securely, according to the experience of previous years. If nothing else, in the final 2009 box office list, "2012" will also occupy a place in the top three.

And you must know that this film has not yet been released, and only 11 days and 1 night have passed!!

As a director, of course. Ye Sumang is not satisfied, in the brewing jihua, he is still ready to use this momentum to hit 500 million, and even wants to challenge the original masterpiece with great ambitions, called "Titanic", which has been sealed for 12 years with a record of 600 million!

If these ideas are known to those filmmakers outside. will definitely think that Ye Sumang is whimsical, but in Ye Sumang's heart, he doesn't think so, now that the box office is 400 million US dollars, is 500 million impossible? Is 600 million really a miracle? But aren't miracles done by man? You can't.

May 4th, the Zuihou day of the week.

Early in the morning, the doors of major movie theaters were full of people, old and young, men and women, and their favorite films were also different, of course, the most mentioned in the heated discussion are still the three hottest movies at present.

"Hey, tell you guys to watch Wolverine, Hugh. Jackman is really handsome. A boy with eyes said excitedly, his eyes were excited, and there was a hint of a foolish smile on the corner of his mouth, maybe he was fantasizing that he would one day be able to become a macho man.

The two people next to him were obviously his companions, and one of them pouted in disdain when he heard that the boy with glasses admired "Wolverine" so much.

"I still think Star Trek is the best, and my family likes it, and in our country, Star Trek and Star Wars are on the same level and must not be missed."

"Who said that "Wolverine" is a real COLL movie, and "Star Trek" is old-fashioned, okay."

"SHIT, shit, you four-eyed, Star Trek is a classic, you know?"

Somehow, the two of them quarreled after discussing and discussing, and in the end, neither of them could convince the other, so they found a friend of zuihou to be the referee.

"I'm sorry, these two movies are really good, but if you want me to say, the best thing to watch is "2012", you see, I have bought all the tickets, and I heard that this "2012" is a prophecy, and all the disasters in it will come on December 21, 2012......" said this, a trace of fear flashed in the eyes of this person, as if he was really afraid of the existence of such a day.

The remaining two arguing people pursed their lips, but surprisingly did not say anything, and although their eyes were full of disbelief, they were unconsciously mixed with a trace of curiosity. (To be continued......)
