Chapter 295: Counterattack on the Country (2nd Update)

[Ask for a monthly pass!] 】

Time passed day by day, and as the summer heat up, movie tickets were also sold every day.

With the crazy release of "Star Wars", other films have been severely blocked.

May 16-May 22 release week passed, "Star Wars" with 158.5 million US dollars "astronomical" calmly climbed to the top of the charts, although the 3-day weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) theater revenue of 108.5 million, inferior to the 2002 "Spider-Man 1" 115 million, but because "Before the Stars 3" was opened on Thursday ("Spider 1" on Friday), and tens of millions of Star Wars fans collectively absent from work and school, Thursday has been artificially turned into a holiday, therefore, If only the results of the first 3 days are calculated as the income of its first weekend, "Star 3" is already the only one in the history of the box office.

Not only that, but the incredible amount of $50,013,859 on the day of the premiere last Thursday also set a new world record at the single-day box office.

Under the influence of Star Wars, other movies have suffered heavy setbacks, but there is one movie that still performs well, and that is "The Hangover" in the third week of release. "The Hangover" still grossed $22 million this weekend, 36 million in a week, and a total of $159 million in North America.

The rest of "Monster Mother-in-law" only had a box office of 14 million in the second week, "Football Daddy" barely maintained the 10 million level, "Crash" showed a super word-of-mouth effect, and it became stronger and stronger in the third week of its release, and bucked the trend this weekend and won $5.5 million at the box office again. "Danny the Wolfhound" was not so good, with only $3.84 million in the books.

In the fourth week of "The Hangover" released and the American Memorial Day, "Star Wars" continued its supremacy performance, and continued to sleep peacefully this week, with an absolute advantage of more than $70.75 million. By the way, it also broke a number of box office records: the astronomical figure of $50 million on the day of the premiere, the North American box office exceeded 200 million in 8 days, and the global box office exceeded the 500 million mark in 11 days...... the "galactic tyrant" George Lucas's fierce momentum of conquering the city is outrageous.

But the summer season has never been a place where any movie can dominate, and DreamWorks' "Madagascar" ranked second with a scale of 4,131 theaters at the same time, earning a considerable income of 61 million.

Another new film, a remake comedy from Paramount, "The Longest Yard", which opened in 3,634 theaters at the same time, grabbed "Madagascar" with a score of 60 million and ranked among the flowers. With 500 theaters less than "Madagascar", this achievement shows the box office appeal of comedy king Adam Sandler.

"The Hangover" continued to stay on the list, and the box office increased this weekend due to the impact of the Memorial Day holiday, taking another $18 million, a drop of only 18%. This decline is considered to be the most rebellious movie on the list, and the long-term screening strategy of word-of-mouth comedy is already very obvious.

With this week's performance, "The Hangover" topped $183 million at the North American box office.

The overseas box office decline is much larger, but the cumulative overseas box office has also exceeded $230 million.

In this way, "The Hangover" has exceeded $410 million at the global box office, 3.2 billion RMB.

The release month is about to expire, and "The Hangover" has already achieved a box office of 45 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and it is imperative to extend the release, and it is almost certain that it will finally break 50 million. In Taiwan, it also exceeded 200 million at the box office, which can be called the strongest box office performance of Chinese films in recent years.

"The Hangover" has created one Chinese movie box office miracle after another, shocking the entire Chinese people's attention.

The results are so ungodly, almost one good news a week, which has long made domestic fans and audiences "boiling with public resentment".

Finally on Children's Day, the family film industry released the news again: director Hu Yifei personally completed the final editing, and the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television has completed the preliminary review. We are still working hard to get "The Hangover" to be released in mainland China as soon as possible.

When the news came out, a grievance was finally alleviated. Countless viewers are eagerly awaiting the day when its release will be announced.

In fact, "The Hangover" says dirty, how dirty can it be.

It's just that the process is dirty, and the result and the overall idea are very legitimate. It depends on how you look at it.

If you remove those dew point shots, it will be a serious comedy.

The reason why radio and television can't sit down and make a decision is also because of face. But the boiling of public grievances must not be negligent, if it is according to their previous policy of doing things, no matter how you flood and he still goes his own way, the audience's opinions can be regarded as bullshit and ignored.

But a bucket of dung directly made the director step down, and they also became frightened birds, and no one who was not long-sighted poured a bucket of feces at their door again, it would really become an international joke.

This time, I finally passed the review of "The Hangover", and I also made a big decision to let "The Hangover" delete some of the unsightly scenes and dialogues. However, strictly speaking, compared to their review of some movies, the final review of "The Hangover" is also symbolic, as for what the family film industry said "go all out to promote the release of the movie" and "Hu Yifei personally completed the editing of the mainland version" are all lies, Hu Yifei has not returned to the United States, where can he edit it himself. In the end, it was just a symbolic deletion of two dew point shots, which was completely perfunctory.

A group of auditors, who felt that their faces were swollen and swollen, had to pass.

It's not that Hu Yifei is raising the bar, he just wants to do his best to ensure the authenticity of the movie. If it's too harmonious, just go watch "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to ensure that it is not dirty.

From the difficult birth of the review in March, to the global release of "The Hangover" in May, it has been an unexpected box office hit. In June, it was finally approved. "The Hangover" has really experienced a period of ups and downs, and it can be regarded as a long-awaited beginning. The audience has been waiting for three months, and now, "The Hangover" has finally rushed out of the thorns, rode into the air, and appeared in front of everyone.

From March to June, "The Hangover" went through a very tortuous road, and the audience said that they had waited until the flowers were gone.

I haven't seen "The Hangover" in mainland cinemas, but the results of "The Hangover" in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia are blinding, and North America is still on the TOP so far. The overseas box office performance of Chinese films has never been so beautiful.

Under the constant bombardment of good results, mainland audiences have long been looking forward to "The Hangover", just waiting for the final release date. From a certain point of view, the current "hangover" also constitutes a kind of hunger marketing in disguise.

Hunger marketing, this term also came out of Hu Yifei's mouth. It was not yet popular in this era. In fact, he also learned from Xiaomi mobile phones, hunger marketing has made Xiaomi, and every time Xiaomi mobile phones launch the latest model, they will usher in a rush.

Although the hunger marketing of "The Hangover" is helpless, no one wants their movie to be stuck and not allowed to be released, but after all, such a thing has happened, so "The Hangover" can only accept it. It's just such a setback, but it has become a classic effect of hunger marketing.

It's like a plate of cake that you can see and smell, but you can only look at it from afar...... And now, the cake has finally arrived in front of them...... It is conceivable what kind of fate this bite of cake will be next.

In this way, the ill-fated "The Hangover" has announced that it will be set for June 8 the day after it got the release permit.

This day is the first day of the national holiday after the college entrance examination.

"The Hangover" will be screened nationwide in the early morning of the end of the college entrance examination.

Much to look forward to! (To be continued.) )
