"Amazing Demon Thieves" tells the story of a group of highly intelligent thieves who use cutting-edge technology and a gorgeous stage as a cover to complete the theft in full view. In the end, he completed the road of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and finding the truth of magic. This movie was supposed to be Shao Shuaijun hoping that Jack. Gyllen Hill came over to support the stage and played the starring role, but Gyllen Hill did not have enough schedule because of the filming of "Thor 2: The Dark World". Ruffalo plays.

From May 32nd to June 2nd, "Amazing Demon Thieves" opened in North America, with $28.05 million, which is not a bad start, after all, the budget is only $75 million. On the second weekend of June, June 7, "Shocking Demon Thieves" began to be released overseas, and "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" was also released in 39 countries and regions overseas.

And "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" only received $47 million in 39 markets, setting a record for Chinese-language films in many places.

The overseas box office is gratifying, Golden Harvest Entertainment immediately held a press conference, confirming that starting next week, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" will be released in the mainland, and will land in North America next week to compete with Hollywood movies!

Domestic audiences can't wait to experience this superhero blockbuster of Chinese movies.

According to the pre-sale ticket data from Time.com, almost all movie tickets pre-sold on Time.com have been sold out in a short period of time. Among them, IMAX-3D, Chinese giant screen, IMAX, and 3D movie tickets are the most sought-after, and they are in short supply.

"Oh, I didn't get the IMAX-3D movie tickets on the premiere on June 14th. Whoever can do it, let it be to me. Netizen Xiao Mingwa left a message on the Internet and exclaimed.

"I don't have it either, but it seems that Golden Harvest Cinemas has left half of the on-site tickets, hoping to queue up to buy them." Netizen yhdxzx1 said.

The mainland audience's desire to watch the movie has been unbearable, not only the movie tickets have been swept away, but the trailer has also been watched over and over again, and the number of clicks has exceeded billions, becoming the undoubted first place on Du Niang's search list.

On June 14th, "Superman: Man of Steel" in North America began to wreak havoc. In the mainland, it is the turn of "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" to rage. CCTV on "News Series". I also gave a 30-second report to help promote the film.

Fierce battles night after night, and the next day, Time Online gave box office statistics.

"Midnight show 12 million RMB. 13,600 RMB on the premiere day! ”

Not as ferocious as Iron Man 3. But it is definitely a new record for Chinese films!

The 14th is Friday. At the end of the following two days of weekend, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" was released in three days and won 442.69 million yuan. It's a new height of Chinese cinema again!

Overseas expansion expanded to 76 countries and regions, with a harvest of $69 million this week. So far, the total box office of the film has reached $186 million.

"Xiaoqing, this is going against the sky! The $321 million Chinese film champion of "Old Boy" is afraid that it will not be guaranteed. Netizen Interstellar Element exclaimed in disbelief.

"The storm of Chinese films has risen, and the four magic series will surely bring Chinese films to new heights! Looking forward to the start of filming of "The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer" directed by Shao Shuaijun himself! Prince Ma shouted on his neck that the movie was good and enjoyable.

The movie not only reaped the box office, but also the word-of-mouth.

The vividness of Time Online is 91%, and the user rating is 8.1, as a Chinese special effects blockbuster, it is not easy to get such praise. Three weeks later, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" earned a total of 860 million yuan in the mainland, accumulating a total global box office of 268 million US dollars, surpassing "Painted Skin 2" and successfully completing the height that Shao Shuaijun expected.

Now that the potential of overseas and mainland China has basically been exhausted, and movies have finally landed in North America, going head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters. A large part of the success of a movie depends on how well it fights in Hollywood.

This week's two new North American films, "Spicy Police" and "Shocking Crisis", plus last week's amazing "Monsters University" and "Doomsday", and Warner Bros.'s $225 million "Superman: Man of Steel" in the third week. It can be said that this is a very competitive week in the summer file.

Three days later, the results of the engagement were released.

"Superman: Man of Steel" ranked sixth with $20.16 million, "Shocking" ranked fifth with $24.65 million, "Doomsday" ranked fourth with $27.89 million, and "Spicy Hands Police Flower" ranked third with $38.5 million.

The champion still belongs to "Monsters University" with $46.18 million, but "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" is only a narrow gap of $2 million, relegating to second place. The first six movies, all of which exceeded 20 million US dollars, and the 44.18 million US dollars of Green Snake is definitely full of pure gold!

"The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" broke through in North America, with a strong reputation and a strong box office, and the sailing work supervised by Shao Shuaijun performed outstandingly!"

"Chinese films have had a beautiful victory in Hollywood."

"Where there is Shao Shuaijun, there are countless box offices, and this theorem is not only applicable to Hollywood, but also applies everywhere."

"Shao Shuaijun created the magical branch of Chinese cinema and made this theme shine, he is a real master of cinema!"

Green Snake was highly praised by the Hollywood media, but unfortunately, director Chen Jiashang was completely ignored. Because this is Hollywood, because Shao Shuaijun has conquered here, all the halo in the eyes of the media belongs to Shao Shuaijun. As for Chen Jiashang, I'm sorry, out of ten newspapers, there may be only one newspaper mentioned by the way......

In high praise, "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" has accumulated $319 million worldwide, and it is only one step away from replacing "Old Boy". In the second week of North America, Universal's only anticipated work "Despicable Me 2" was released, and Disney's peerless blockbuster "The Lone Ranger" created by hundreds of millions of dollars was released at the same time.

"The Lone Ranger" is adapted from the super popular show "Ranger Legend" in the last century, Disney spent $250 million on investment, invited Hollywood's most expensive man Johnny Depp to star, directed "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore. Wibinski served as director.

""The Lone Ranger" is coming, Xiaoqing is going to be crushed to death." Mainland netizens wailed.

Shao Shuaijun also shook his head, his memories before his rebirth had expired, and all the plans were arranged by the company. Originally, North America arranged for the release, but I didn't think about how much box office "The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of the Green Snake" could get in North America, so I wasn't afraid of any blockbuster strangulation, but Xiaoqing was really powerful.

I can only say that the times are not good. (To be continued......)

PS: I wish you all a happy Spring Festival, a lot of money and good health in the new year!
