With 2.9 million yuan at the zero point venue, plus a box office of 500,000 yuan at the advance screening, "Source Code" has already received a box office of 3.4 million yuan before it is officially released.

In addition, the Douban score rose to 9.2 points, and the Time.com score rose to 9.3 points, it can be said that overnight, word-of-mouth and box office exploded, and a perfect start was achieved.

In one fell swoop, the future of the film became extremely bright.

The media also began to exclaim.

Fox Entertainment: "Source Code" broke the record at zero point. ”

People's Daily Online: "The box office of "Source Code" is 2.9 million, the highest in Chinese film history. ”

New Nets: "The box office of the zero point game broke a record 2.9 million, and the audience praised "Source Code" for being too good-looking. ”

Pig Network Entertainment: "Relying on fans or relying on quality, "Source Code" detonated the zero point field. ”

Xinlang.com: "The word-of-mouth "Source Code", which is popular across the board, topped the premiere with 2.9 million at the zero point of the premiere. ”

However, in August 2009, domestic film and television were not a pool of backwater.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which was released in mid-July, also got 25 million box office last week, and the Hong Kong film "Eavesdropping", which was released in late July, also got 23 million box office last week, but these two movies are not a big threat.

The real threat is unexpected, in last week's release of "Codename Cobra", a Hollywood action blockbuster, originally did not do well at the box office in North America, costing $175 million, only to get a local box office of less than 150 million, which can be said to be a fiasco.

So at that time, Wang Zhujiang, Li Yan and others did not regard each other as opponents, and they did not stagger the schedule.

As a result, "Codename Cobra" was released in the mainland last week, with a much lower film schedule than "The Half-Blood Prince" and "Eavesdropping". unexpectedly got a box office of 40 million and won the weekly championship. The word-of-mouth turned out to be okay, which surprised many people. also directly shook the schedule of "Source Code".

"Source Code" encounters a strong enemy, can it rely on super high reputation and break through strongly?" Some media people raised questions.

August 6.

Source Code premiere day.

With the word-of-mouth of the advanced film field and the box office of the midnight midnight scene, "Source Code" got 38% of the film schedule. "Codename Cobra" has 27% of the film schedule, "Eavesdropping" has 19% of the film schedule, "The Half-Blood Prince" has 14% of the film schedule, and the remaining 2% is reserved for other films.

Although it got the highest film schedule, for this film schedule. Huayi Brothers and Luying are not very satisfied, and they don't even account for forty percent of the films, which really affects the performance of the first week.

It must be known that when "Crazy Stone" was released, it almost monopolized all the screenings in cinemas. When the blockbusters of the fifth generation of directors and domestic famous directors are released, they almost monopolize all the screenings, and even if they meet competitors, at least more than half of the film schedule. Now the domestic film market is limited after all, and there are so many people. After watching this one, it's hard to watch another one.

But there is no way, "Codename Cobra" actually broke out in the mainland, and suddenly disrupted the originally arranged plan.

It's not easy to adjust the schedule to avoid it, so you can only resist it.

"It's not comfortable to lie down and earn box office. But with the current signs of "Source Code", I won't really be afraid to compete with these three films. "The king will not only comfort himself, but also speak from his heart." There is competition to show that the quality of "Source Code" is excellent, as long as it can resist the four days of this premiere. It's going to explode next week. ”

Zhang Tan also said very easily when he heard this: "I have done my best to make this movie, no matter what the box office is." I don't have any regrets. ”

I don't know if it's in my heart, at least on the surface, he is indeed very light-hearted.

……

With the national cinema network ticketing requirements issued by radio and television, theaters in most cities have now begun to sell tickets on computers and connect to the Internet in real time, so that they can understand the box office of the movie in more detail.

On the second day of the release of "Source Code", the box office of the first Thursday was roughly counted.

Mr. Wang called and informed Zhang Tan that when he was at the box office, he and Lei Jun were staying in the office of Weibo to chat about some investment projects, and they were going to hold the company's quarterly meeting later.

"What was the first-day box office?" is very indifferent on the surface, but in his heart Zhang Tan still cares about the box office.

Wang Zhujiang's voice was very excited: "The rough box office has just been counted, a total of 10.5 million yuan, accounting for 62% of the total output of the market on Thursday, and the attendance rate of our "Source Code" is far higher than that of the other three films, less than forty percent of the scheduled films, and more than half of the box office." ”

"Yes, that's good!" Zhang Tan praised it.

The box office of 10.5 million on the premiere day is not a big record in China, "Morphing Autobots 2: The Comeback" broke 100 million in four days after it was released in China, and there was a box office of 30 million on the premiere day. But "Source Code" is surrounded by three blockbusters, and on Thursday it is not a holiday, and it is enough to get this result.

"I have just contacted several theater owners, "Source Code" has the highest attendance rate, and the audience has the best reputation after leaving, and the film schedule will rise significantly tomorrow!"

"That's good, now we can rest easy."

"Haha yes, good films will always shine, "Source Code" is stable now!"

Hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhang Tan's face was very bright. Making sci-fi films in China is a risk, and while ensuring the reputation of the company, the box office has also risen, so how can you not be happy.

Lei Jun asked curiously: "Is your "Source Code" coming out at the box office?" What do you think? ”

"The box office on the first day was 10.5 million, plus the on-demand screening and zero-point screenings, a total of 12.9 million, and now it seems that the box office trend of "Source Code" is much better than expected."

"Can you earn it?"

"Of course I can make money, my original expectation was to protect the capital, after all, there is no precedent for successful domestic sci-fi, and the risk of losing money is too great. Now it seems that there is no need to worry, and the rest is a matter of earning more and earning less. ”

Lei Jun became interested: "Is it profitable to invest in movies now?" ”

"How to say it, out of ten movies, probably one will make money."

"Ten to one? It's a bit risky, why do I find that many people are still camping in the film industry? ”

"One is that the Chinese film market is indeed developing. The future prospects are very great, and there are many nouveau riche in this year. I was fooled and smashed in. Another one, use movies to launder some unclear capital. Don't be too simple. Brother Lei is also starting to be interested in this? ”

"Forget it, I don't know much, let's focus on online venture capital, last year I listened to your advice and invested in Huanju Times, but I didn't expect that in the past half a year, the market share has exploded, the prospects are limitless, and we are going to make a lot of money." Lei Jun changed back to his old topic.

Huanju Times is the parent company of voice communication software Y-Y. After QQ unified the field of instant messaging, Y-Y recently emerged strongly and found another way to seize the voice communication in the field of instant messaging. Zhang Tan has played Y-Y a lot in his last life, listening to beautiful women singing and watching beautiful women dance.

After venture capital with Lei Jun, the first project was the Gathering Era.

Listing and selling money are two steps.

"It's okay to make money, by the way, Brother Lei, has Cao Guowei of the salary wave looked for you?"

"Looked. Bid 80 million to buy the shares of Weibo in my hand, it seems that the salary wave is iron-hearted, and I want to buy Wei-Bo. What do you think. We-Bo is your business. ”

"Me." Zhang Tan took a sip of water, "If the price is in place, I will sell it." I'm not good at management, and at present, Weibo only burns money. No earnings in sight, although valuations are high. But there are also many problems, I don't have that energy, and I spend it on Wei-Bo. ”

In fact, Zhang Tan regretted opening a micro-blog company in his heart.

If you really want to make money, you just need to invest in movies, there are so many high-grossing movies in his head, and he can make money by playing with them casually. Investing in micro-blog is not a good direction, following Lei Jun and playing venture capital is far better than opening Wei-Bo yourself.

I'm tired and want to sell the idea of Weibo, not a day or two.

It just so happened that the company began to pay attention to Wei-Bo, and Wei-Bo is now a golden period of development, and it can be sold at a good price.

Zhang Tan is sitting and waiting for a bid.

Lei Jun thought for a while and said: "Also, you are in the entertainment industry, although you don't make as much money as you start a business, but you win fame and fortune, I envy you." ”

That's right, it's true that fame and fortune are both gained.

……

After achieving a box office of 10.5 million yuan on Thursday's premiere day, the number of films scheduled for "Source Code" rose to 46% on Friday, and the single-day box office hit a new high, getting 14 million, hitting 70% of the total market. As a result, the number of films scheduled on Saturday rose further, breaking through 50% in one fell swoop, reaching 52%, and the single-day box office got 18 million, continuing to occupy 70% of the total market.

On Sunday, the film schedule continued to rise, reaching 57%, and got 16.8 million yuan at the box office, because the overall box office of the market declined, and the proportion of the box office of "Source Code" increased, creating 75% of the total market.

In four days, all of them were high attendance and high output, and the three rival blockbusters that were worried about before were not opponents at all.

On Tuesday, August 11, the film bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's special Weibo account "Movie Box Office" released last week's box office statistics.

"Last week, by the strong outbreak of "Source Code", the total market was 120.5 million yuan, an increase of 25% last week, "Source Code", "Codename Cobra", "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", and "Eavesdropping" The four films jointly contributed 99% of the box office."

Among them, "Eavesdropping Incident" ranked fourth with 11.9 million yuan in a single week, with a total box office of 65.7 million, and the prospect of breaking 100 million yuan is no longer large; "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is 20.8 million yuan in a single week, ranking third, and has been released for the fourth week, with a total box office of about 150 million. ”

"Codename Cobra" ranks second on the box office list with a single-week box office of 35.6 million, with a total box office of 75.6 million, and it is about to break 100 million."

"The weekly box office champion is the domestic sci-fi film "Source Code" directed by Tan Zhang, which was released for four days and was included in the midnight show, totaling 62.2 million yuan."

So.

In the face of such a strong opening result of "Source Code", all the media are left with nothing left to praise the virtues.

"Domestic science fiction movies are rising strongly, and "Source Code" won the weekly championship with 60 million in four days!"

"Tan Zhang has created another word-of-mouth and box office double harvest movie, and "Source Code" has been named a science fiction masterpiece by the audience."

"The popular fried chicken is yellow and bright, and the box office hit of "Source Code"."

The sci-fi movie "Source Code", directed by Tan Zhang and starring Huang Daliang, Zhou Taiping and Liu Anfeng, was released last Thursday and sold 66.2 million at the box office in four days, becoming the weekly champion. Some experts predict that the ultimate goal of the box office may exceed 200 million. ”

All of a sudden.

The only thing that is the "source code" is Fengyun. (To be continued.) )
