Chapter 123: High Box Office!! (Redeem the 160-chapter monthly pass!) Keep asking for a monthly pass!
On February 1, hundreds of theaters in various regions of North America began to officially release "The Grim Reaper".
Wang Shang and others couldn't sit still at all, and they organized groups to go to the cinema to see the release of "Death is Coming". They are anxious to see the results as soon as possible.
When they arrived at one of the movie theaters in Los Angeles that showed "The Grim Reaper," they were surprised to find that there seemed to be quite a lot of moviegoers today.
"Today happens to be Sunday, and it seems that "Death is Coming" is scheduled to be released on a good day."
Several people came to the ticket office, and Wang Shang saw the promotional poster of "Death is Coming" placed in a conspicuous place on the side of the road. Wang Shang pushed Xie Tingfeng, pointed to the poster and said with a smile: "How is it, does this hole in your left eye seem to be very obscene?" ”
"Lewd?" Xie Tingfeng looked at the photo and said with a wry smile, "It's gloomy!" Wang Dong, your words are too miserable and inhumane......"
However, Wang Shang and the others quickly focused their attention on ticket sales.
A young man bought a ticket: "Is there any "The Legend of the Bear", please?" ”
"Sorry, it's sold out."
"Do you have any movie recommendations?"
"Sir, do you play the game "The Grim Reaper"? Today its film of the same name is released today. ”
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" movie? Oh, I almost forgot about it! That's it, get me one!! He looked extremely pleasantly surprised, and he was probably also a Grim Reaper fan.
Most of the people who followed came straight to "The Grim Reaper", apparently Paramount and Ubisoft Games were extremely well promoted.
There are also some people who watch movies aimlessly. The conductors recommended "Death is Coming" to them.
When Wang Shang saw this scene, he turned back to the others with a smile and said, "Is this conductor a fan of "The Grim Reaper", we have to thank her." ”
At this time, some fans in the waiting hall pointed at Wang Shang's side.
Soon after, a few fans came over with joy and said in broken Chinese: "Hey, may I ask you are that nichostse, Xie Tingfeng?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the poster with a handful of words.
"I'm just, you're here to see it?"
Seeing Xie Tingfeng admit it, they were not as excited as Wang Shang imagined. Just a little excited: "We absolutely love the Grim Reaper game. We'll go see it later, we want to see what the movie is like......"
Several people chatted in Chinese, took a few group photos together, and the movie almost began.
Wang Shang walked to the ticket office: "I want six movie tickets." How many seats are available? ”
The conductor said directly in stiff Chinese: "There are only a few seats left in front of you." There are also a few left in the back corner. ”
Wang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "How many are left?" It seems that "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has a good attendance. ”
Wang Shang soon bought movie tickets. The group walked into the theater.
After entering the theater, Wang Shang and the others faintly heard some discussions.
"I haven't been able to understand Huaxia's movies for a long time, and I don't know how this movie is. I hope I don't spoil the game, but I'm aiming for the game "Death is Coming" ......"
"I'm also here for the game, and I hope the movie isn't too bad......"
After Wang Shang heard it, he couldn't help but touch his nose, it seems that Huaxia movies do not have a good impression on American fans.
Xie Tingfeng leaned over at this time and whispered, "It's really aggrieved." ”
Wang Shang smiled at him confidently: "Don't worry, "Death is Coming" will be the first step for Huaxia films to conquer the North American market!" In the future, more and more movies will land on this land and conquer this land! ”
"When "Death Comes" is released, we will all be famous in this country!"
After Wang Shang and the others found their seats, the movie began to play.
The intro ad at the beginning is very long, and it took about ten minutes before it reached the opening animation of Tianwang Studios, and in addition to the two metal sci-fi characters of Endless Starry Sky and 'Tianwang', the English name was also designed to cater to American tastes.
The movie soon began to play.
The movie is still in Chinese with original sound, and the subtitles are in English. Because Chinese is a universal education in North America, these American audiences can probably still understand it, and there are English subtitles to assist, so they can watch movies without barriers.
The eerie background music and footage at the beginning of the movie quickly drew everything in, and the only sound of the movie was left in the entire screening room.
Shortly after the opening, the scene of the plane explosion lit up their eyes, and even those of them who were used to watching blockbusters couldn't help but applaud.
Subsequently, the death of the first character, as well as the words of the mortuary, made everyone nervous......
A female student was hit by a car and her flesh was blurred, a teacher was stuck in the neck by a glass shard, a knife was inserted into the chest after panicking, and a male student was cut off by a patch and a high-voltage power line......
The thrilling scenes made many viewers scream from time to time......
In the end, after a male classmate was smashed to pieces by a falling neon sign because he saved the protagonist Pang Hua, the entire screening hall was collectively silent!
It was a long time before they came back to their senses and gasped for breath.
"Great!!"
"It's so exciting!!"
"I almost couldn't breathe!!"
"This is one of the best movies I've ever seen!!"
Obviously, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has successfully conquered all the audience with its fast pace, rigorous logical reasoning, and exciting plot!
"There's still a lot I haven't understood, and I feel like there should be a lot of hints in the movie, but I just ignore the past, and I'm going to watch it again."
"yes, I'm going to watch it again, too."
Wang Shang and a few people glanced at each other and smiled: "It's successful!" ”
As Wang Shang and the others thought, the release of "Death is Coming" in North America was really successful, and it showed surprising box office capabilities in North America.
On the first day of release, it attracted a lot of fans of the "Death is Coming" game. Although they are not confident in the movies produced by Huaxia, the plot behind them is deeply moved.
After reading it, I praised it even more!!
On the same day, on IMDB, the largest movie data platform in North America, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" became the most popular movie.
Countless fans flocked to "Death is Coming" to express their amazement and describe the movie with the utmost praise.
"It's a movie like no other!"
"It's going to be a classic thriller!"
"Although it is a movie produced in China, it feels like an American movie to me, which is fantastic!"
While exerting their praise, they did not hesitate to score high scores, directly pushing the score to 9.0 points.
The next afternoon. Paramount sent Wang Shang the first-day box office data that they were nervously looking forward to.
"The Grim Reaper" box office on its first day on February 1: $4.3 million. Attendance rate 72%!
Wang Shang and they were pleasantly surprised, and the attendance rate was good. 4.3 million US dollars in exchange for RMB, there are also more than 39 million, which is definitely much more than in China.
And it's only the first day. As its word-of-mouth continues to spread. Presumably it will be even more popular.
It seems to confirm Wang Shang's thoughts. In the days that followed, the box office of "The Grim Reaper" began to gradually rise!
Countless people queuing up to buy tickets are staged all over the cinema, in stark contrast to the declining attendance of other movies!
Countless fans praised it and highly recommended it to other relatives and friends!
Under a good reputation. Coupled with Paramount's continuous promotion at the right time, the appeal of the movie version of "Death is Coming" is rising and starting to become popular.
In the days that followed, attendance remained at an astonishing 71 percent.
After Wang Shang saw this data, while being overjoyed, he couldn't help but complain that there are enough unemployed young people in the United States.
On Saturday, the staff began to rest, and the attendance rate of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" directly rose to 85%, which was terrifying, and Wang Shang was even more boiling after hearing the news.
On Monday, February 9, "The Grim Reaper" successfully completed its first week of release in North America.
The North American weekly box office data is freshly released.
First place went to Finding Nemo, which grossed $55 million a week.
In second place is Daredevil, with a weekly box office of $53 million.
3rd place...... It's the familiar name "The Grim Reaper is Coming"!!
"The Grim Reaper is Coming", a weekly box office of $31 million!!
"Wow!! $31 million!! ”
"$31 million! Converted into RMB, there should be 280 million!! It's crazy!! ”
A few people cheered, hugged wildly, celebrated wildly, and yelled wildly!
Soon after, they received a call from Paramount: after negotiations between Paramount and major theaters in North America, "Death is Coming" will increase the number of movie screens by 800 starting tomorrow, bringing the total number to 2,000.
2000 screens!!
Wang Shang: They are boiling! Run straight to the nearby bar and celebrate.
What made them happy again was that they also met many fans of "Death is Coming" in the bar, and several people surrounded Xie Tingfeng and said excitedly: "You are Pang Hua? Are you the actors in "The Grim Reaper"? ”
"Pang Hua, you are so handsome, sign me!!"
"I love this movie so much!!"
"How did you shoot it? Very exciting!! ”
"Can I take a picture with you?"
A bunch of young Americans surrounded Wang Shang, which made Wang Shang and them suddenly feel that the popularity of "Death is Coming" has spread throughout North America.
In the next few days, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" really lived up to expectations, in the eyes of the cinema, Paramount, and Wang Shang, the box office continued to be hot, and countless fans and game fans poured into the cinema to see "The Grim Reaper"!
Movie theaters have reduced other low-attendance films and began to increase the number of screenings of "The Grim Reaper."
2200 pieces!
2300 pieces!!
By February 16 (Monday), the number of screens had increased rapidly to 2,600, which surprised many Hollywood celebrities!
By the afternoon, last week's box office was finally out.
The second week of "The Grim Reaper" grossed $52 million!!
The cheers boiled!!。 (To be continued......)
ps: I checked the names of the North American box office and the North American film market, and it turns out that Canada and the United States are one in the film market, so they are called North America and North America......
