Chapter 542: Crazy box office

How popular can a sci-fi movie be before it is released? There's nothing you can't do, only the unthinkable! The popularity of "Transformers" is obvious, as evidenced by the fact that more than 4,100 theaters across the United States have sold out tickets.

Fans around the globe have been waiting for too long, and many have even begun to enter the countdown.

Sitting in the IMAX screening hall, Liu Yifei was particularly excited, although she was not able to go to the United States to attend the premiere of the film due to work reasons, but after some disguise, she sat in one of the only more than ten IMAX giant screen theaters in China.

With a Coke in one hand and popcorn in the other, it's a classic pairing for watching a movie. She was glad that she had booked a midnight ticket before, otherwise she would be like those young people at the door of the theater at this time, who had money but couldn't buy tickets.

To be honest, she doesn't have a Transformers plot, she grew up with Barbie, so anything like nostalgia doesn't appeal to her.

The key point is that Yang Lin played the protagonist in it, and he also made a cameo appearance as Yang Lin's wife, no matter what, this is a science fiction masterpiece that should not be missed.

The real publicity expenses are not wasted at all, no matter whether the critics' statements are good or bad, fans around the world have to watch it before they can make their own statements.

More than 4,000 theaters in North America are already overcrowded, everyone is sitting in their places, waiting for the movie to be released, no matter what their mentality, this epic blockbuster with an investment of $150 million and an actual cost of $230 million is presented in front of everyone with its own unique attitude.

Under the simultaneous release, fans around the world have been dispatched, this is not only a movie, but also a memory, an impulse, and a passion. Fans in Europe have just emerged from the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. Now they are talking and laughing and pouring into the theater to watch "Transformers".

On the Asian side, because of Yang Lin, the number of films and publicity efforts are the largest, and the two sides of the strait are the largest. Almost all cinemas have already copied them. And Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places have also been prepared, and a feast that has swept the world is about to begin.

By the time of the official premiere, audiences in North America had already enjoyed the first visual impact, and many were even ready to go back to see it a second time, but tragically found that they could no longer buy tickets.

The ultra-spacious IMAX Screening Room is naturally packed, with Forceful Surround Sound and rocker seats, and the 8-story IMAX screen that floods the entire line of sight. This is arguably one of the best cinemas in China, and it will witness the success or failure of "Transformers"!

"Transformers" showed undeniably top-notch special effects, cinematography and soundtrack, confidently telling everyone that it is a $150 million production, and behind it is a top team.

When Yang Lin's figure in military uniform appeared on the movie screen, the entire theater was boiling, with a handsome and resolute face and a faint stubble. The slightly frowning brows, as well as the action of looking down at the watch from time to time, instantly captured the hearts of the audience.

The simple dialogue shows their tired hearts just returning from the battlefield. Only the noise around them reminded everyone that they had returned to the military base.

A few minutes later, when Yang Lin went in to video chat with his wife, the theater exploded instantly! Through the screen, all Filipino fans or film Lin can see clearly, and it is definitely Liu Yifei who is holding a cute child on the other side of the computer!

The intimate and somewhat warm dialogue between the two people instantly moved the filmmakers who saw the film, is this how they will get along in the future? Maybe be able to give birth to such a cute baby. ..., Liu Yifei stuffed a few popcorns into his mouth, with a hint of a smile on his face, and he could see himself in Hollywood blockbusters. It's really a good thing, let alone playing a husband and wife with Yang Lin.

has been saying that Liu Yifei made a cameo appearance in a role in "Transformers", but all fans didn't expect that it would be Yang Lin's wife. It seems that Michael Bay has done his best to match the two.

The domestic audience was pleasantly surprised, but the people abroad didn't feel anything, they didn't know Yang Lin. Second, I don't know Liu Yifei. In their opinion, they are just ordinary two actors, what is there to be surprised.

It's a rare visual treat, and no one can resist the charm of blockbusters, especially when the visuals and sound effects are used to the extreme.

Wave after wave of visual enjoyment impact, the audience is completely engrossed, in the smooth and natural editing, the scenes of cars and airplanes are open, and the tense and suspenseful music makes the heartbeat accelerate, cool!

The excitement is adrenaline-pumping, and I can't wait to get up and vent.

"Wow!" I can't see that Yang Ling, who was still a weak Peking Opera artist before, still has such a good figure, which is really a feast for the eyes.

Seeing Bumblebee frozen, the audience will exclaim and be frustrated by the plot. Seeing Megatron literally towering below the Hoover Dam, they couldn't help but cover their mouths. Seeing a Nokia mobile phone transformed into a small robot after passing through the Rubik's Cube, the audience screamed in unison.

"Transformers" doesn't have too many memories, but rather a shock, and in every sense of the word, it's a rare movie.

Yang Lin's performance in the movie did not disappoint the audience who worked hard to buy tickets, he was tender, capable, and brave to sacrifice. In this movie, Yang Lin fully shows his masculine side, different from the image of the cream boy he played before, he is a gun-wielding soldier in it, acting decisively, acting cleanly, and always rushing to the forefront of the invasion of the crazy Autobots.

The wee hours of the morning around the world are not at the same time, so it is naturally not a simple matter to count the box office, after all, the global time difference is there.

However, the box office of the zero o'clock schedule gave Yang Lin infinite surprises.

In Chinese mainland, "Transformers" midnight file directly won the box office of 10 million yuan, setting a zero point box office champion for movies released in China.

In North America, under the super offensive of "Transformers", countless fans who have watched the movie can't help but be excited, and they have run to the Internet to post or enter IMDB to face the freshly baked "Transformers" score.

In just a few hours, "Transformers" received more than 10,000 user ratings on IMDB, with a total rating of 8.9, temporarily ranking sixth on IMDB.

IMDB's score is not something you can brush if you want to, you must register an account for up to a year, and have written movie reviews, and the score on the leaderboard is not the same as the score on your own page.

It's really incredible for a sci-fi blockbuster to be able to get such a high rating on IMDB. Although with the return of fans of the classic movies "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars" and "Schindler's List" later, the score of "Transformers" may drop.

It is not only unique at the box office in North America, but also at the global box office. Although the box office on the first day has not yet been counted, every time the box office of a region is counted, it will be found that it breaks or approaches the box office record, which is not good news for "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The box office statistics of North America, Western Europe, Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other places flew to Paramount Pictures like snowflakes, and these box offices not only affected the hearts of Yang Lin and other main creators, but also affected the hearts of previous blockbusters and upcoming blockbusters. ..., no one wants to run into a box office dark horse when they are released, which is a particularly tragic thing.

In any case, the release of "Transformers" has had a huge impact on the rest of the films, with "Pirates of the Caribbean" dropping 36% in domestic production, "Durala's Promotion" down 18%, and "Mei Lanfang" down 15%. Almost all movies are making way for it, and such treatment is naturally not comparable to the rest of the films.

$71.9 million! More than 4,000 theaters have collected a total of more than $70 million at the box office, which is the perfect answer given by "Transformers"! The opening day won so many box office tickets, which was unexpected by everyone, who would have thought that the box office record that had been in the dust for several years would be broken one after another this year?

"Spider-Man 3", which was released in May, raised the opening day box office record to 63 million, and the most anticipated movie today, the most anticipated movie in the summer season, "Transformers", actually raised the record by nearly 8 million US dollars!

Before film critics and reporters had time to express their opinions, "Transformers" had already broken many records at the North American box office, and who could stop it?

Paramount's professional box office analysts actually gave a surprising box office forecast: "The North American box office broke $400 million, and the global box office broke $1 billion, becoming the top five existences in film history." ”

If it were placed before the opening day, no one would believe this result, and it would be a big deal to stay at the box office of $880 million like the previous "Spider-Man 3". But after the crazy first-day box office came out, almost no one objected to this prediction.

――――――――――――――――――――

Before, everyone said that the update was too late, but the update time was adjusted to 9 o'clock in the morning and after 8 o'clock in the evening, and no one watched it and no one voted. It's so sad, because of the policy recently, it seems to be more difficult to write about domestic entertainment, just when "Transformers" was released, write a little Hollywood thing~~

Roll all over the ground for all kinds of ticket support! (To be continued)
