Chapter 508: Raiders World (End)
"Hero" officially began to be released on a large scale, which naturally attracted everyone's attention, especially the Chinese fans who are now full of resentment, not that they can't watch it, but that there are too few theaters to watch it, which is really annoying to think about. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And the release of "Hero" in these countries did not live up to everyone's expectations, it immediately beat many local films in these countries, and even beat many Hollywood blockbusters! Sure enough, vulgarity is really common, and everyone may really have the seeds of vulgarity buried in their hearts.
In the first week of its large-scale release in Southeast Asia, "Hero" won the weekly box office champion in many countries, and in the second week of its release, "Hero" won the weekly box office champion in almost all countries released in Southeast Asia.
On March 7, "Hero" began to officially land in North America.
This time the hero's performance in North America can only be regarded as average, whether it is compared to Han Yi's two previous movies, or compared with the box office in other regions.
As expected at the beginning, this kind of purely Chinese characteristic film, Americans do seem a little difficult, but this is Han Yi's own idea.
If domestic directors know Han Yi's idea, I don't know if they will criticize Han Yi with a knife, Han Yi's so-called badness is actually that he didn't win the box office weekly championship.
But fortunately, Han Yi didn't introduce the meridians and internal forces in his martial arts novels, otherwise everyone would be even more incomprehensible.
In the first week, relying on Han Yi's talent and Li Xiaolong's reputation, "Hero" directly won the runner-up at the weekly box office, which was only one million dollars short of the champion "Madagascar", but in fact, the difference between the two was one day.
In the second week, it surpassed "Madagascar", but the problem was that it encountered another Hollywood movie, "War of the Worlds".
"Hero" can only win the runner-up, and after losing this opportunity, "Hero" has no chance to reach the championship.
As for the box office, it was actually very good, and it directly sold 47 million US dollars in the first week, but it still lost to "Madagascar".
(At this time, I remembered that it seems that "Madagascar" is a cartoon, and it seems more reasonable to release it on June 1st, but there is no way, it has been written here, and I can only write it head-on, if it doesn't work, you can think that in this world "Madagascar" is not a cartoon!) )
The results of the second week were not bad, 33 million.
Of course, the total box office in the end still broke 100 million, which should actually be the worst one compared to Han Yi's two previous movies, but the investment is indeed the most, but Han Yi is not discouraged, he has thought of it before.
In the end, Han Yi was also very satisfied to be able to break 100 million.
However, if this is converted into RMB, there are seven or eight hundred million, which is an achievement that many directors can't achieve in a lifetime.
Of course, this also proves one thing, that is, Han Yi's martial arts films actually have a market in the world.
Needless to say, in Asia, Han Yi's "Hero" is simply not too perverted.
In North America, the main box office is contributed by the United States, and as for Canada, it is basically ignored. In Europe, such a movie finally won a box office of 100 million yuan, which is not a bad result.
In this way, the final total box office in Europe and the United States is nearly 900 million yuan.
However, in these two places, although the box office is not high, this kind of movie with a strong oriental color has been recognized by many people.
These are not the most important things, the most important thing is that these things have been introduced to China.
The second week of the domestic release of "Hero" was when "Hero" conquered cities abroad, and everyone wanted to see what this movie that caused such a big craze was.
But!
But, Nima, no ticket!
"Wonderful, for the first time, I got a taste of a Hollywood blockbuster."
"It seems that there are now more than 20 countries whose weekly box office champions have been won by heroes, and Han Yi is really mighty!"
"The big brothers and sisters above, how can you see "Hero", little brother, I have traveled all over Baoqing, and I can't find a theater that plays "Hero"."
"Baoqing is a third-tier city, right? If it were you, it would be a tragedy, at present, "Hero" is only released in one theater in Dawan, and Dawan only covers first-tier cities and a small number of second-tier cities, and third-tier cities don't even think about it. ”
As soon as this reply came out, it immediately attracted a large number of protests.
"This is discrimination, protest, why can't we fans in third-tier cities watch "Heroes", are fans in first-tier cities more precious than us?"
"It's like, if the distributors of 'Heroes' are here to ignore our fans in third-tier cities, we won't watch 'Heroes.'"
"Yes, if we don't show "Heroes" to us, we will boycott "Heroes", anyway, it won't be long before there will be an online version of "Heroes."
"Support, if you don't show it, boycott."
Boycott if you don't show it!
This sentence quickly swept the Internet.
In the past, as long as the movie was released, it would definitely be screened nationwide, and there was no invisible, but "Hero" was released for the first time to see it, and fans suddenly became emotional.
At this time, Han Yi also felt that it was almost over, he couldn't kill chickens and take eggs. That would damage his reputation, but he wasn't prepared to make it easy for the thirty-five theaters.
First of all, there are many people familiar with the situation on the Internet, who carefully and in detail explain why "Hero" can only be released in Dawan Cinemas.
Now many people have changed from boycotting "Hero" to boycotting theaters that did not release "Hero", of course, such a change can be completed, of course, some dirty water on these theaters is indispensable.
Now these theaters have become the pest of the entertainment industry and a dictatorial organization in everyone's eyes......
On the contrary, Han Yi was portrayed as a victim.
This is naturally indispensable behind Han Yi's promotion, but not only Han Yi, but also many film and television companies are pushing together in the back.
Of course, these guys can't afford to be early, the reason why they will do this is actually very simple, Han Yi has said in public before, don't want Han Yi's film source if you don't have more than 50% of the share.
With Han Yi's character, they know that this must be true, because public opinion is now favorable to Han Yi, but if these theaters open this 50% share, then it will be much easier for them to increase the share after that.
After all, there is a first time in this world, there is a second time, and then there is no then. (To be continued.) )
