Since the third day of the release of "Life of Pi", extremely rare things have happened in various theaters, since Titanic in 1997, for the first time in theaters, there is a movie that has been continuously sold out in prime time at night under the premise of national release.

20.3 million, 20.53 million, 20.67 million, 21.2 million, 21.21 million...... For five consecutive days after its release after the weekend, the film received a "perfect score" at the theater box office! Theater managers are going crazy~~ On this movie, their performance dividends are going to be doubled! But there's only one copy per theater! Only the damn one!

The telephones in the office buildings of the head office of the five cinemas of the Century Cinema Alliance are constantly thinking about every day, and the managers of the cinemas all over the country are calling and shouting at their colleagues in the distribution department:

"Bill~~ What is there only such a little copy! The tickets you sold for me 12 copies of "The Golden Compass" don't add up to as much as one volume of "The Wonderful Drift of Pi"~! I want a copy of this movie, and I'm going to do it soon~! ”

"Fez~~ I don't care what method you use, even if you go to someone to draw it, you have to draw a few copies for me~ Do you know Lu Dao, how many people here we have here who want to watch this movie, I don't know how many fans point at my nose every day and scold me for what not to arrange a few more shows of "Life of Pi", what do you people in the distribution department do!"

The distribution departments of the five theaters of the Century Cinema Alliance also have suffering, not that they don't want to send more copies~ but that there is no more copy at all, and Black Pearl Company has not even taken out one more copy.

In the first week of its release, "Life of Pi" swept theaters across the United States as an "art film" and won a box office of 120 million in one fell swoop~

And "The Golden Compass", "Redemption", "Magic", "Beowulf", "No Country for Old Men", "My Santa Claus" All six major production films, commercial films, art films, and art films have all failed in word-of-mouth and box office.

You must know that the second to sixth ranked movies in Lu Dao do not add up to more than "Life of Pi", and this data is not very surprising on the surface, because the box office of more than 100 million in a single week is nothing new in today's North American market, but take a closer look at the number of screens occupied by these six films.

"The Golden Compass" 5478 pieces, "Beowulf" 3145 pieces, "Magic" 3245 pieces, "My Santa Claus" 1245 pieces, "Redemption" 546 pieces, "No Country for Old Men" 578 pieces......

Combined, they have 14,000 screens, but the results are not as good as the 1,000 screens of Life of Pi, which is definitely the most humiliating week for the six producers since their founding......

MGM's Cork and Canon, the shrewd businessmen, were almost desperate when they saw this box office statistic, it's over, it's all over...... Li Xiaole's movie is not a fucking gentle art film at all, but a Bengali tiger with a bloody mouth open~ devouring all their hopes.

They laid out so many games, designed so many traps, took away Li Xiaole's ambition to win the Oscar, sacrificed the Marvel series of the six major productions, and used it to freeze "The Avengers", gritting their teeth and pushing the Black Pearl Company into a desperate situation step by step, but Li Xiaole turned around and made an Indian movie and beat them to the ground.

"Jeff Robinoff, this bunch of shit~! They Warner also spent 200 million ...... on "The Golden Compass" What the hell isn't even half the box office of that damn Indian movie......" Cork looked at the ceiling, feeling for the first time a huge sense of despair overwhelm him.

"No one can stop the Black Pearl Company, those people in the Century Cinema Alliance must be celebrating, this is probably because the pocket fee has been suppressed for so many years, and this time it can finally defeat the five major theater chains of the six major producers...... "Canon looked at the sunny scenery of Los Angeles outside the window in confusion, but he felt the urge to jump off this MGM summer in his heart.

Now that Li Xiaole has let everyone see his terrifying strength, companies such as the Century Cinema Alliance and the Peak, Lionsgate, will now gather around Li Xiaole and enjoy this hard-won victory.

"This time we lost...... It depends on whether the major leagues can stand up to it. Old Cork looked gloomy for a while, and muttered with his head down, "Todd Hardy...... What would you do? "Unlike them, who can only play tricks in MGM's office, the Big Six still have good cards in their hands, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow at the Black Pearl Company, and the thoughtful leader at the helm of the major league, Todd Hardy, has not yet made a move......

Now is the time for the new power of Hollywood's rise to challenge the old giants, and both sides will give everything in this life-and-death war......

Cork didn't know what to do, and at the same time, the Century Cinema Alliance was also boiled over by the public resentment caused by this "Life of Pi".

Century Cinemas, Well-known Player Cinemas, Christo Theatre Cinemas, Hoyt's Panorama Cinemas, and the National Entertainment Theatre Group gathered together for several emergency meetings, all hoping that Warry Sandro would come forward and continue to plead with Li Xiaole to let Black Pearl Company make copies as soon as possible.

"Aren't you making 1,000 copies this week!? Now it's been a week, and there is not a single new copy of the volume! ”

"Why don't we pay for it~! We will make film copies for them for free to show ourselves, isn't that okay?"

The representatives of each family shouted angrily, everyone was yelling at Wari Sandro, they were in the first absolute advantage in the history of the confrontation with the Big Six, once this momentum passed, it would not come back, at this time, why not take the opportunity to increase the number of screens, and completely defeat the opponent for two weeks, and when!? Do you have to wait for the other party's strong films to come up and block your own box office!?

"What a noise! You go and negotiate with Li Xiaole yourself, he said that their studio caught fire, and the film produced this week was burned, what can I do! If I could get the copy rights from him, who would be waiting here now! ”

looked at Wari Sandro, a good old Mexican man, and roared with a cold face for the first time, which startled everyone.

This can't blame Wari Sandro for not working hard, because he was played by Li Xiaole at all, Li Xiaole promised him 1000 copies this week, but he didn't get a single volume, everyone knows that it can't be a studio that caught fire, no matter how big the fire is, it is impossible not to leave even a copy of a volume, this Li Xiaole has no intention of adding copies from beginning to end.

The atmosphere at the scene froze, everyone felt extremely depressed, they had no choice, because they collectively decided to only give Li Xiaole 1000 screens, and there were only so many contracts signed by the two parties, and now they don't give it, they can only be in a hurry, who told them not to stretch out a hand when the Black Pearl Company was in danger before?

At this moment, the bowels of everyone in the conference room were repentant, if they had known that this was the case, they should have been on the side of the Black Pearl Company in the first place.

"You're going to do something...... Wari. Gary Loew, the director of the gamer's theater, was about to cry at this moment, and couldn't help but step forward and take Warry's hand and beg him:

"Wari~~Wari~~ We've known each other for 20 years~~You must help me~~ You must help me, this time our theater doesn't even have a copy~ The board of directors has given me a death order, if I don't get the copy this time, they will sweep me out of the house~ I will have nothing left~~ You Century Cinema will share a little with me, just 200 screens~~200 screens~~"

Wari Sandro shook off the hand of the fat Jewish man with a cold face, and whispered: "Business is business, and now there is a meeting, Mr. Gary Loew, please calm down." ”

Gary Loew saw Wari Sandro glaring at him angrily, and after a moment's astonishment, he immediately rushed over and grabbed Arthur, the bald representative of the Hoyt era, crying and begging:

"Arthur~ Do you remember that when you first entered the industry in 1982, I took you to the theater~~ We are the best work partners~~ You must help me this time, otherwise I will be finished, please, you Hoyt years lend me 200 copies of "Life of Pi"~~ I only need 200 volumes."

"I'm sorry, that's not for me to decide." Stout Arthur shook his hand away in disgust.

Seeing this usually arrogant and domineering Jewish fat man, who broke down in the conference room at the moment and cried to everyone, just to ask for a mere 200 copies to go back and save his job, everyone not only did not have the slightest sympathy, but they were eager to go up and kick him in the face to relieve their anger.

Damn it~!!! If it weren't for this bastard who publicly offended Li Xiaole, maybe Li Xiaole wouldn't be so ruthless, and he stubbornly didn't send a copy to them~!

Now whoever helps this Jewish fat man, it is rumored that it is tantamount to offending Li Xiaole, everyone on the scene is eager to find ways to please Li Xiaole, who will be stupid enough to give Gary Love a good look!!

But everyone is scolding Li Xiaole in their hearts at the same time, why is this Chinese so small? Will you give up such a good money-making opportunity with such a little personal grudge? It's so stupid...... This will wait until a week later, when the six strong films come, this guy will definitely regret it.

Li Xiaole's strategy of 1,000 screens made everyone feel incomprehensible, but the box office of "Life of Pi's Fantasy Adventure" still maintained a scorching temperature, and there was no downward trend.

At the beginning of the second week, it was still more than 20 million for 3 consecutive days, which made all the people in the industry so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and the popularity did not decrease for 10 consecutive days, but there was a trend of intensifying, this kind of box office trend is really abnormal, seeing that the North American box office of "Life of Pi" is running to 200 million, and the global box office is about to break through the 300 million mark.
