Chapter 349: Open Your Eyes to China

When it was noon on Saturday on December 26 in China, when the box office of the first day of "Avatar" had just been released, and the news had not had time to spread overseas, it was 10 p.m. on December 25 here in the United States, and the last movie began to be screened, and the national market on that day had reached the point of complete summarization, and in the rest of the world - Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, these countries in different time zones, had just entered December 26, or were still at the end of the 25th. The country's box office is also constantly being counted and summarized, and the box office of three days on the weekend is of great significance for the film market of a week, and just like "October Siege" and "The Legend of Three Shots", there are many movies that collide with "Avatar" in various countries, from reporters to the producers of these films, they are extremely concerned about the box office of "Avatar" in the second week/first weekend, which is very important for the survival space of the same movie - just like "October Siege", which was released on December 18, It's just a weekend of monopoly, so now the future is bleak, and the loss is a foregone conclusion, and for Zhang Yimou's movie, the performance is relatively weak, and the film reviews are also scolding "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", it was released on December 11, the first weekend film schedule was close to 60%, and the second weekend film schedule was also 50%, so, although the box office plummeted the next week, because of its own small budget, the box office was almost enough to return to the cost, which is also an important reason why "Avatar" can and can only be released on December 25, is also a possible reason why Producer Zhang did not come. After all, he is the funder, and it is also a possible factor in the postponement of the release of "Avatar", it must be a little embarrassing to see the producer of "Avatar" now, and the creative ideas between Producer Zhang and Director Zhang in the past few years cannot be said to be very like-minded, and the absence of Producer Zhang seems to be an example of the relationship between the two sides that began to estranged after "Three Guns".

"Overseas, the box office in the first week is already explosive, and there will definitely be a decline in the next week." Although it was Christmas, it had been a lively day, and now he was a little sleepy, but Paul still didn't mean to leave the computer, he rubbed his dry eyes, opened the netizen discussion board, and browsed the discussion posts on it for fun, "The domestic performance is also expected, last week's viewing demand began to release this week, I still say the same thing, we don't have to deify "Avatar" ......"

Is it apotheosis? Now continue to argue that 2 billion is impossible, is it already a little weak-hearted? Paul rubbed his face, and cut the page to the page of the first box office report, it is now 11:20 in the evening, in fact, the final range of the box office has been basically determined, and the specific number that has been revised in the end is generally less than 1 million US dollars, and now, even if there may be some theaters that have not reported the last round of screenings today, but the number should not be too much, the final box office of "Avatar" should not be less than 27 million, and whether it can break 28 million depends on the final correction.

Compared with 30 million on the first day, 28 million is just a 6% decline...... For a box office expert like Paul, it is impossible for him to bite '2 billion is a dream' anymore, and today's 6% decline is even more terrible than the usual reverse decline, you know, this is Christmas Day......

"Zero Decline...... Flip-down ......" shook his head, Paul read these words in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, he shook his head, redesigned the parameters, ran the function, and then took a deep breath, copied the numbers into the document, and re-wrote the internal email, "Everyone, Happy Christmas, this is a reminder from the media analyst, the Friday report of "Avatar" is at least about 27 million, maybe tomorrow will even form a reversal of last Saturday, or, let's be a little bolder- Perhaps it will complete the reversal to the premiere day. ”

At this point, a bitter look appeared on Paul's face, and he whispered to himself, "If you can see this biggerpicture, you will see that such an assertion is not unfounded......"

Although "Avatar" has only gotten hundreds of millions of box office so far, and has not even crossed the 1 billion mark, Paul believes that most of the people who have laughed at Jennifer's wild words will now have a sense of rejection of the good news of "Avatar", because he himself is like this, although he did not laugh at Jennifer for anything, but always fulfilled his duties as an analyst, released forecast reports externally, and reminded customers internally to invest in stocks, but Paul could not deceive himself, when he saw the news report half a month ago, He did not agree with Jennifer's statement, and even laughed at it, and now, every miracle created by "Avatar" made him feel hot on his face, and the feeling of writing the report by himself and completely overturning the prediction he released last week can only be described by who wrote and who knows......

Sighing, he continued to type on the keyboard, "The reason is as follows: according to the comparison of the box office on the 25th and 26th in previous years, the market has continued to rise in the past two days, and a large number of audiences who have not watched the movie on Christmas will walk into the cinema on the 26th, and after last week's outstanding performance, the film schedule of "Avatar" has a great advantage, and it is almost a foreseeable fact that its box office will rise again. And if you predict according to today's box office curve, the reference movie should choose "Titanic", in the 11 years between the two films, there is no third movie like them, there is such a steady trend, and with "Thai" as a reference, the final box office of this film may go to 700 million, 800 million, and even a small possibility to 900 million, in short, this movie has a great possibility to create a new local box office record, however, even if the film reaches 900 million box office, calculate inflation and ticket price differences, The difference in budget, the number of viewers and the scale of profit of this film may not be comparable with "Titanic", and whether the world can reach 2 billion, we still need to wait until later, after the overseas box office summary report is submitted this Friday, we can make an accurate prediction, but in terms of the current audience reputation, it ......"

He paused for a moment and left the report page again, heading to IMDB to check out the latest audience scores and movie reviews, however, when Paul came to the page, he inevitably glanced at the middle of the page first, and when he saw the news of the latest post, Paul's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Avatar made history in the Chinese film market, with a box office of $5 million on the first day, which is also the highest value of the Chinese film market in a single day."

Has the first day of China also come out......

Quickly clicked into this post, this post may not be worth caring for ordinary people, but it is like the best coffee for Paul, who does data, so that his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and his heart beat with a puff: $5 million? When did China's one-day market become so high? Of course, it's the weekend, but even the 5 million ...... for the weekend

For the box office market in the United States, weekdays and holidays are about evenly divided into the world, and about 170 days of holidays can produce about 5 billion box office every year, and in a few good weekends, the single-day market can be hundreds of millions, generally speaking, there is about 50 million, and about 95-10 billion box office, a good single day is about one percent of the annual box office, but for the 3D movie "Avatar", it can't be calculated like this, Paul now probably understands why the box office of this movie is a long-term stable trend - 3D equipment is limited after all, and the audience is more inclined to wait than succumb to 2D, so "Avatar" can't drive the market to rise too much, he is more than 20 million a day, and the market this Christmas week is almost hovering around 30 or 40 million.

――And if this ratio is used, won't the maximum box office capacity of the Chinese market in 2009 reach $1 billion? And it was only in 2008 that the annual box office in China was remembered to be ......

After a quick search, Paul was sure he was not mistaken: China's box office in 2008 was less than $600 million, and this year's box office has not yet been counted, and it is estimated that the exact information will not be available until January.

In a year, the growth rate is close to doubling, even if his estimate is quite optimistic, this is enough to tell the story, Paul now understands more and more why Jennifer said that, maybe emotionally, people really find it hard to believe that all aspects of China will take off so quickly, and the cultural industry can even form this explosive development trend, but judging from the data, everything is almost irrefutable, no matter how ridiculous this idea is, it is true: if it continues like this, China will surpass the United Kingdom in 1 to 2 years, In 4 to 6 years, it will develop into the second largest box office market in the world, and even ...... Even......

Paul's fingers trembled slightly at the thought of China's 1.3 billion people, but he couldn't deny the possibility...... In terms of the total annual box office volume alone, China is likely to surpass the United States and become the world's largest box office market in 10 to 15 years, and it is really hard to say how big this snowball will roll and how far China will pull the United States down......

Although he has always been familiar with the 'China threat theory' advocated by the president and politicians, Paul has always felt that it is far away from his life, but now, when he is confronted with the facts he has speculated, he finally understands why so many people are so concerned about the country on the other side of the world, not that they really think that war is close at hand and have not gotten rid of the Cold War mentality, but ...... But......

Wiping a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, Paul really experienced this feeling of being threatened, being caught up, he had long been accustomed to the fact that the North American market had a one-third share of the global market, leaving the second place far behind, even if it was only considering the possibility of such a few years later, just realizing that this generation, he had a kind of heart tightening, extremely unpleasant physiological reaction - all this is just so unacceptable, the United States should certainly be the first in the world in all major fields, this truth should have been unshakable, And the realization that it might be about to waver, that it was about to change, and that he was powerless to do anything about it, made Paul even vaguely hate his own incompetence.

However, on the bright side, even if China becomes the world's largest box office market, it should still be American films produced by Hollywood that occupy a large share of this market, and after joining the WTO, China's film market will definitely have to be gradually opened up, and to a certain extent, American films are still the world's No. 1 - after realizing this, Paul's mood recovered a lot, and he returned to the page page, quickly completing his prediction, "And judging from the enthusiastic response from overseas markets, It is not ruled out that it may make history and enter the 2 billion range. ”

After a short break, seeing that the first day in Japan had not yet come out, and Japanese fans did not enthusiastically translate the news into English and put it in Jennifer's fan forum like the Chinese netizen named babyjen, Paul opened the document again, thought for a while, and drafted a title.

"The growing Chinese market, maybe the world's second in the future? 》

-- After weighing up, he still didn't throw out the idea of being number one in the world, which seemed a little too radical for Paul himself.

#

Although they are all Hollywood practitioners, but their respective majors, but also determine how different their vision, in Paul excitedly checked the information, established one mathematical model after another, analyzed the world box office situation in the next 20 years, and unconsciously stayed up all night at the same time, in the early morning of December 26, many middle-aged and elderly people who were no longer allowed to stay up late got up early, turned on the computer, and searched for last night's box office news.

β€œj.j、j.j! j.j! j.j! ”

In the somewhat chaotic picture, hundreds of East Asian women and a small number of men are neatly lined up in two teams, holding all kinds of support items in their hands, shouting in unison at the entrance and exit of the airport with a large flow of people, and as the situation changes, the slogan quickly turns into a scream of excitement, escorted by a group of bodyguards, in the distance, a silver-haired elderly man and a blonde woman pass through the crowd, and the voiceover is quickly explaining something - although he can't understand Japanese, But Robert can also guess that the narrator is mostly introducing how much of a sensation the "Avatar" crew has caused in Tokyo this time, and then there are some Japanese girls who are full of excitement and are interviewed, expressing their expectations for this movie and their love for 'jiejie'.

"With $3.6 million on the first day, "Avatar" has achieved good results in Japan, and is expected to challenge the second place in the cumulative box office of "Titanic" in Japan."

- Glancing at the English headline again, Robert closed the YouTube page, opened a hidden drawer, picked up a cigarette and put it in the corner of his mouth, touched the lighter up and down, opened several drawers and rummaged around, and finally, having already quit smoking, he gave up the idea of having one, sighed in melancholy, opened the page of boxofficemojo, and read its new news: of course, around the box office success in these two countries- In China, it can only be described as a box office miracle - the website published several reports overnight, and in the reports, those fickle analysts, media people and pundits seem to have forgotten their own depreciation of "Avatar" some time ago, and ridicule the 2 billion theory, but rushed to say that the box office of "Avatar" "has no upper limit, immeasurable, and is very optimistic that it can exceed 2 billion".

yes, now in the second week of release, does anyone still wonder about this? Maybe there is still doubt about whether it is 2 billion or not, but at least 1.5 billion is certainly no problem - the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Europe, the three major box office warehouses on Friday have come out, and the same as the United States, compared with last week, almost all of them are extremely small declines, which can be described as zero decline, and in some relatively small box office countries, and Japan, China, the opening of the painting has reached an incredible high, after a small decline from Monday to Thursday, it suddenly rose to a higher position on Friday - simply reversed the fall……

According to this trend, in the end, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan should not have much problem contributing 100 million to the box office. If you are optimistic, you can directly go to 150 million to predict, these four countries are 600 million, and now it has opened 5 million US dollars in a single day, and the potential cannot be estimated at all, even if it is estimated that it is 100 million, 700 million, and Russia, which is very eye-catching, there is also a great possibility of soaring to 100 million big countries, 800 million, and the rest of the long-tail countries attack together, even if 500 million is good or not (greatly underestimated), 1.3 billion, the domestic box office is estimated to be low, 700 million, 2 billion This is any way, how can there be! - 2 billion! That's 2 billion!

What is the concept of 2 billion?

Warner, which ranks second at the overseas box office this year, is 1.9 billion, and Fox, with the help of "Avatar", should be able to get more than 2.2 billion in 2009, which is already the full value in more than 100 markets throughout the year - this number, "Avatar" can carry it all in one movie.

2 billion means surpassing "Titanic" by 200 million, officially pushing the box office height that a movie can reach to 2.

2 billion means that "Avatar" is destined to go down in history and become the monument of the god with the largest investment, the highest box office, the most lucrative profits, and the most epoch-making significance in history, bringing world movies into the 3D era.

2 billion ...... 2 billion means at least 4 billion, and it can even easily do 10 billion, 20 billion follow-up and surrounding markets, which means that there is another gold mine in Fox's film library......

2 billion ...... 2 billion ......

"What if I said that the last time I was so earnest to convince another person to be part of a project, I was sitting across from Cesare, and we were talking about The Notebook and The Devil Wears Prada? Bob, are my words suddenly a little more convincing? ”

"Women are creatures of intuition, and I especially, I chose to listen to my screaming instincts - and you see the results."

"Bob, if I don't really believe in the future of Avatar, why would I be involved, and why should I bring money into the game? Why would I convince you to snatch this project? ”

Maybe it's because he's so talented, maybe it's because this calculation has stimulated him so much, 3 or 4 years ago, Jennifer . Jefferson's conversation with him once again appeared clearly in Robert's mind, and he even remembered Jennifer's tone at that time, that urgent, pleading, persuasive tone, she was really very optimistic about the movie, and she also wanted Disney to invest very much, and she should even be very sure to snatch the project from Universal.

And what about him? What was his response at the time? 'The Disney department has actually taken its place in this project'? Yes, in fact, this sentence is not unreasonable, 20% of Big Dream is also equal to 10% of Disney, and Disney has already occupied a share of this plate, which is enough to make Universal and Paramount envious. In particular, Universal, which had received this project but then gave it up because the investment was too high, now the management has to prepare a resignation letter.

However...... However......

That's 2 billion -- even 3 billion!

Although I still feel that 3 billion for a single film is really beyond imagination, but now, Robert doesn't dare to ignore Jennifer's words anymore, he thought he was right once 4 years ago, and now, the 2 billion box office expectation of "Avatar" is like countless knives, repeatedly stabbing at the decision 4 years ago, as long as he thinks that he actually ignored Jennifer's plea to let him win "Avatar", and even used far-fetched 'cash top-up' as an excuse......

Even in his own study, Robert seldom showed such emotions: he moaned low when he thought of emotional places. With a groan, he gently slammed his forehead against the solid mahogany tabletop, making a dull sound of 'knock, knock, knock'......

"Looking at the global curve of this film, the first week is not the high point of the box office, which completely explains the essence of its word-of-mouth films, after the first weekend of viewing, after several days of brewing, the number of moviegoers in the second week even did not fall but rose, which is almost a common feature of 81 countries, which also shows the world's audience's thirst for 3D movies and visual spectacles."

While Robert was punishing himself, Paramount's Brad. Gray was also enjoying his breakfast, he shook the newspaper and took a sip of coffee in a good mood: For Jennifer. Jefferson and her team, who are even more confident than themselves, accurately predicted that after "Avatar" this time, Jennifer's status as a producer and investor will definitely reach a higher level, and thanks to his wise investment, he now also has the support of Big Dream - friends who dream big are much more comfortable than enemies who dream big.

"Hehe," Jeff. Robinov rolled over and climbed out of the bathtub, he didn't have a lot of time in the bath today, because there was no tension to soothe, on the contrary, he was now full of anticipation for "Codename Shero". "-This time, I can wait for Bix to call me......"

In the previous back-to-back battle, Bix had successfully saddled Jeff with the cauldron of 'cooperating with Big Dream', and now, when this black cauldron became the crown, he wanted to get it back...... Although Jeff still has to cooperate, at the very least, he can get more benefits for himself - and he even has a feeling that "Codename Shero" and his friendship with Jennifer will become a big asset for him to compete for the position of president of Warner Entertainment......

"2 billion!" Michael. Linton shook his head and said with a smirk, "It's an exaggeration, the media is always like this, for the sake of clicking, anything can be said." ”

Having said that, after he watched the Avatar's global box office as of December 25 with envy and jealousy - 700 million, 720 million in 8 days - Michael still pressed the phone call button.

"Let's restart negotiations with Big Dream's Spider-Man." He instructed, "The specific conditions can be discussed slowly, but remember to release the wind to the media." ”

If you don't take advantage of the current burying a hand, what if the box office really exceeds 2 billion? At that time, the other big five will have their own 'big dream projects', but Sony will not - how can this work?

"It's not bad to have Avatar, it's not bad to have Fast and Furious...... although in Robert's imagination, Universal's Adam. Ferguson should be anxious, but unlike everyone else, Adam is in a good mood now, he easily calmed the slight sourness in his heart, and the corners of his mouth even had some upward impulses: The reason why "Avatar" left Universal has little to do with him is the decision of the parent company Viacom, and it should be someone else who feels uncomfortable now, and what Adam should consider is how to spread this fact and let shareholders know that this is a joint decision of several directors and presidents of Viacom.

"Slumdog Millionaire," "Weakness" and "Bomb Disposal Unit" will continue to be squeezed by "Avatar" next week, but fortunately, these films have no projection equipment requirements and can still find breathing space on 2D screens. It is worth noting that the biggest growth point of the film's overseas box office, and the biggest uncertainty, should come from Beijing," he continued to read more detailed reports and analysis, "China is a country where everything is under construction, and 3D theaters are by no means as popular as the United States, it can be inferred that most of the audience watched the 2D version, and in this case, it also produced a box office of 5 million US dollars, which not only means the charm of "Avatar", but also means that Chinese audiences are seeking for visual spectacle, And the true capacity of the market – perhaps "Avatar" will become the first Chinese film to break 100 million dollars at the local box office. And that's extremely exciting – Beijing has shown surprisingly high growth over the past year, almost doubling its annual box office in '08-09, and it's only a matter of time before it becomes the world's second-largest box office market based on this simple model......"

"Beijing, Beijing, Beijing......" Adam put down the newspaper disapprovingly, he didn't attach so much importance to this report: a previous highest box office was tens of millions of dollars, and even rarely exceeded 50 million, and in the end Hollywood only got a market of millions of dollars, and the media said that the 'China threat theory' was broken, he would not believe it, and if he wanted to pay attention to it, it was very simple, let him see the money first." Jennifer. Jefferson is China's national idol, and this time he went to the premiere in person, and it was strange if he didn't explode on the first day, hehe, breaking 100 million...... Let's wait until it does break. In the Chinese market, breaking 100 million, how can it be so simple......"

"I'm sorry, but the tickets are full at the moment." Mechanically pasted this sentence in the refusal reason box, Zhen Baobao pressed the send button, and reluctantly switched back to the Q group, "Otherwise, let's temporarily set it to not allow anyone to join the group, so there is no way to get it, how long have I been online, there are more than ten people who have joined the group, and they are all asking for tickets." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"But in that case, wouldn't fans who want to join the group after watching the movie also be able to enter?"

"Let's make an announcement in the post bar, and wait for "Avatar" to be released and then open to add people, and now it's impossible to tell whether it's fans or scalpers who are coming in."

The members of the Beijing group of Tieba had different opinions, and they quickly gave the method in a gossip, and Zhen Baobao shouted in the management group again, and the online regional fan groups all went to convey their spirits, and the owners of many local groups also took the opportunity to complain proudly and annoyedly.

"Damn! I knew it was so hot, so we would have more groups, and then pack them all and sell them to scalpers, a ticket can earn 50, thousands of a game, enough to be sent. ”

"Then you have to admit it to the studio, our cinema is, a lot of scalpers have colluded with the counter, our group ticket hall has already been agreed, even the deposit has been paid, and now it is said that the ticket money will be added, if you don't give it, the whole show will be canceled, and the deposit will not be refunded, Mom. Yes, it must be a good skewer with scalpers, but they are reluctant to have a 3D game at night, and they make a lot of money less if they don't have one. ”

"Haha, it's good that we have an early group, and now I heard that even 2D has to queue up."

"It's good to be able to buy in line, we can't buy this queue, it's harder to buy than a train ticket, I can't buy a group ticket if I want to take my family to see it, and I can only sit in the first row of group tickets."

"Don't mention it, I left Q in the group ticket sticker, a lot of scalpers have added me these days, and they all asked if they were selling or not, and the opening price was 300, doubled - I didn't agree!"

"There's another scalper to post, go to a small bar to delete the post."

"Damn, again?"

Although it's already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, but the post bar and even the Q group are so lively: in addition to being very active, now because of the good news one after another, and the same group as the chicken blood, the homepage of the post bar and a week ago are also two - whether it is a worry post, a distressed post or a pointing post, now all have disappeared without a trace, and even news posts and diplomatic posts are often watered to the third page, the fourth page, and now the whole post bar is a ticket purchase and mutual aid bar, Almost all of the posts are complaining about the difficulty of buying tickets: like the phenomenon summarized by analysts, after the first weekend, word-of-mouth fermented for a few days, with the god-level special effects and high box office of "Avatar" accompanied by the news to the whole country, the audience who has watched "Avatar" is half showing off and half sharing spontaneous publicity, as well as the emergence of relatively fresh concepts such as IMAX and 3D, China's urban population, from aunts and uncles to elementary school children, all know that there is such a film with very ** special effects, watch "Avatar", It has officially become a trend throughout the country.

"Avatar" Chinese and English subtitles Chinese and English double track perfect HD version download"

"Is there a seed, the master asks for a seed"

"Can I watch 3D on my computer? Do you have to go to the cinema? But the ticket price is so expensive, poor, can't afford to pay, cry"

In the movie post bar, the director post bar and the starring post bar, such posts emerge in endlessly, and there are still a lot of netizens who have not cultivated the habit of watching movies and have no sense of copyright hope to enjoy pirated resources through the Internet conveniently as before, and at the same time can occupy a sense of superiority in IQ, and ridicule people who go to the cinema to watch 'stupid or not, what's the difference between watching on the computer?' 100 yuan to go to the cinema, there is money to burn', but at the same time, there are a lot of people who are not so sensitive to the price below 500 yuan, but the citizens who did not have this concept in the past few decades are very willing to spend this cheap price to catch up with the trend, after all, catching up with the trend and taking advantage of the excitement is the consistent nature of any group, and China's huge population makes this herd phenomenon every time it appears, it can cause a sensational effect, which is also a manifestation of 'the number is beauty'.

However, considering how scarce the number of screens in China was relative to the crowd before this, and even with such a small number of screens, the number of moviegoers across the country could not even support its rapid expansion, I have to say that if it were not for this gimmicky, new-concept, good-working, and news-making "Avatar", many people might not have entered the cinema for a few years, and were just satisfied with watching it on the computer. The concept that movies still have to go into the theater to see the effect is good, and it is this small 3D glasses that promotes it.

At the end of 2009, China had a population of 1.3 billion, including 620 million urban residents, even if only 1% of the population who rarely went to the cinema was interested in "Avatar", it was a terrible market increment, you know, at this time, there were only 4 IMAX screens in Shanghai, a maximum of 400 people, a maximum of 3600 people a day, there were 20 million people in Shanghai, even if 200,000 people wanted to watch IMAX, this is definitely in short supply, and it is far from demand, The number of screens in the country is less than 5,000, and it has to cope with the new demand for 6.2 million movie-watching movies......

"What is this "Avatar" really so spiritual? We'll have to see what happens. ”

At the gate of Shanghai Peace Shadow City, there was an all-night queue to buy tickets, and the scalpers even fried the price to 800 yuan.

"Hey, Xiao Huang, I heard that there is a movie called "Avatar" recently, which is the one mentioned on the news, saying that the special effects are particularly good and a particularly magical movie, is it still being played? Can I buy a ticket? ”

Beijing CBD Wanda, which had sold out a week's worth of tickets on Monday, said bluntly, 'Crazy, I've never seen such a scene, the theater staff have been spinning and have no experience in dealing with similar situations.' ’

"How can there be a movie theater like yours! Just turn on the lights! It's all said on the Internet that this is not the case at all, it's very bright! I'm going to complain, you wait! ”

Chengdu public cinemas are outraged by outdated projection equipment and 3D light bulbs, which are reported in a prominent position in the evening newspaper to form social news.

"Breaking 100 million yuan in three days, the fastest movie in history to break 100 million, "Transformers 2" was played"

"The box office of 270 million in the first week of release has become a myth, and the little blue man lets everyone know the potential of the mainland film market"

"Since its release, it has continued to decline, and on January 2, 2010, the next Saturday of the year after its release, the box office surged by 1 times compared with last Saturday, with a single-day box office of 60 million yuan! The market climbs to a new peak, where is the next peak? I don't know! Don't dare to think! ”

"IMAX-3D has risen in price again, 200 yuan a piece is sold out instantly, and the 1-month schedule can't meet the demand for watching movies, China Film stated that it will be postponed to an indefinite period, 'until everyone can watch it'"

"Nanjing's loving mother queued up all night for her son to grab tickets, 'I hope that my child can relax after the final exam, and I have long promised to take him to watch "Avatar""

"The popularity of "Avatar" attracts capital, and next year Guangzhou/Shenzhen/Shanghai/Beijing will ...... Major cities will have new IMAX screens to meet the audience"

On January 4, 2010, 9 days after its release, the Chinese box office of "Avatar" broke through the 600 million mark, getting closer and closer to 100 million US dollars, so far, there is no suspense that the box office of this film will break 100 million US dollars, and China Film promises that the film schedule will continue until "the demand for viewing is satisfied", and now the greater suspense, a suspense that no one has ever thought of, and is very unfamiliar in the world, appeared in the Chinese market for the first time, and also appeared in the Hollywood market for the first time-

Can the Chinese box office of "Avatar" exceed 200 million US dollars? !

Will there be a slight possibility that China can become the first country at the overseas box office of "Avatar"? !

It is no exaggeration to say that although the Chinese film market has developed rapidly before this, in January 2010, when the Chinese box office broke through $100 million in just 10 days, Hollywood saw China for the first time!

The author has something to say: Note: All the Chinese data cited in this chapter are the data of the current year in 2009, and there is no moisture and floating, only due to the adjustment of the release date. All social news has a source -

Everyone knows that "Avatar" is hot, but may not have understood its significance to the film market so intuitively from the data, the box office of this film directly prompted the birth of many Chinese special 3D in the future, because it is this film that tells everyone, how to let Chinese who love to watch pirated copies enter the cinema? Just give them 3D.

Haha,Actually, this is also the psychology of the public.,I believe that readers' movie-watching habits are actually cultivated around 07-09 years.,I used to love to watch pirated copies.,In addition to the expensive movie tickets (in fact, this is not the main reason),The biggest reason should be that there are no good-looking films in the theater.,And there are very few theaters.。

In addition, to clarify, I'm not a screenwriter, I don't know why everyone has this misunderstanding......
