Chapter 102: Hot box office

The next day, the major entertainment newspapers in China gave up the front-page headline position to "Those Years" and "Infernal Affairs".

Although "Infernal Affairs" is star-studded, and although "Those Years" are all newcomers, "Those Years" does not occupy much less newspaper than "Infernal Affairs"!

All newspapers uniformly use "magic" to describe the miracle of "Those Years" on the first day of release: three days of movie tickets were sold out in the first few hours of the opening, faster than "Infernal Affairs", and the score of mtime reached a high score of 9.5 at the same time as "Infernal Affairs"!!

All newspaper fronts use two large pictures as the front page: a picture of Wang Shang stretching out three fingers, and a picture of Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi studying on campus.

The record created yesterday by "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was enough for all newspapers to make such a report, and enough for everyone to remember this movie.

"When we were curious and even questioning whether the production investment of "Those Years" was only 15 million and whether the niche film could get 300 million box office, director Wang Shang taught us a lesson: Nothing is impossible! On the first day of release, countless fans rushed to various movie theaters and frantically grabbed movie tickets for "Those Years"! ”

"The film spent a total of 35 million yuan from production to promotion, plus film tax, payment of film support fund, and commission of theaters/distributors, at least 110 million to recover the cost, and only after that can it be profitable. Before, we were still questioning whether Wang Shang was amazing or stupid? There should be an answer now. ”

"The movie "Hedong Lion's Roar" is relatively worth watching, but after all, it is a movie familiar to the public, familiar costumes, familiar plots, although there are more queen's creativity, but it is still old-fashioned, and everything follows the rules. Compared with it, the audience prefers the fresh "Those Years". ”

"Wang Shang has opened up a new market for Chinese films, and pointed out a new path for countless production companies, and youth films can still be blockbusters! Cheers to him for his bravery and innovation! ”

There were countless praises for "Those Years" and Wang Shang in the newspapers, and the praise was overflowing.

All the fans received this good news, and they were extremely excited, and they frantically went to major websites to watch the existence of "Those Years".

……

In the office building of Tianwang Studio, several senior management people sat in Wang Shang's office, swallowing clouds and mist, looking forward to the announcement of box office data.

Although the box office can be roughly calculated, everyone hopes to be able to see the fair box office data of a third party as soon as possible, so that they can rest assured.

"I don't know how much the box office can have?" General Manager Bihan said expectantly. This movie can be said to have consumed a lot of money and energy, but fortunately, the ticket sales in the first three days had a good response and were all sold out.

Wang Shang: "According to 3,500 screens, with an average of 200 seats per screen, 100% attendance, and a ticket of 50 yuan, it should be 35 million." However, there should still be a lot of deviations, because not every screen is 200 seats. ”

"35 million...... Hehe, that means that the cost should be recovered within 3 days of release! Everyone laughed, because the tickets for the first three days had all been sold out, so the box office of 35 million was ironclad.

"Can you please stop smoking!" Liu Yuqing expressed great dissatisfaction with this group of men who made the office smoky.

Bi Han, the old smoker, was stunned by what she said.

Soon, the fax of the box office data of the third-party statistics was sent to Wang Shang's hands.

"In Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" box office on December 24: 34.06 million yuan!

"Yay!!" Everyone jumped up and celebrated with joy.

"Sure enough, it's about the same as predicted!!"

"Quick, tell the staff to release this data quickly!!"

"Let's see what the other three movies do at the box office!!" Bihan asked eagerly.

……

Just when Wang Shang was celebrating, at this time, the major entertainment websites had quickly spread the box office data that had just been released.

"Infernal Affairs" ranked first for the first time, earning 50.23 million yuan at the box office with 5,000 screens! Attendance 100%!!

followed by "Those Years", which earned 34.06 million yuan at the box office with 3,500 screens! Attendance 100%!!

and "Hedong Lion's Roar" ranked third, earning 31.06 million yuan with 3,500 screens, with an attendance rate of 92%.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Minority Report" earned 33 million yuan at the box office with 4,000 screens, with an attendance rate of 82%.

The other seven or eight small movies were arranged to the remaining 5,000 screens, and together they won a box office of 20 million, and the average attendance rate was only 42%.

As soon as it was released, the four newly released movies directly refreshed the total box office record of the week, "Infernal Affairs" topped the total box office of the week, and "Those Years" ranked second!

After the box office results came out, the theater chain hurriedly adjusted the film screening plan to arrange more and better screens for the two popular movies "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years".

The cinema side is also a profit-oriented profit-making organization, which movie is a big hit, and various resource support will naturally be inclined to which movie.

is like "Star Wars" and "Spy Shadows", although they had to crash due to the government's policy and had to be released for only fifteen days, in order to earn more box office revenue, they deliberately arranged a full 10,000 screens out of the 220,000 screens in the entire Huaxia to them. That's why they have a horror box office of 60 million and 80 million on the first day.

At this time, the attendance rate of "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years" is so high, and it is applauded all over the country, so it is natural to support more, such as increasing the number of screens, such as increasing the number of high-quality and large theaters with more seats.

Soon the theater side released the schedule for the four days after December 27, "Infernal Affairs" increased from 5,000 screens to 5,500 screens, and "Those Years" increased from 3,500 screens to 5,000 screens, and the film schedule began to shrink.

These 2,000 screens are all pulled from other movies, which will naturally affect the box office revenue of other movies, but the attendance rate is not as good as these two movies, and the producers of those movies are irrefutable.

The box office is fierce, and the survival of the fittest is the iron law of the film market.

In the following days, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years" was as usual, and it was extremely hot!!

The next day, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" was still rapid, with a box office of 49.8 million yuan, breaking 100 million yuan in two days, instantly causing a sensation in the entire Chinese film and television circle.

And the box office of "Those Years" also followed, with a box office income of 34.9 million on the same day!

On the third day, "Those Years" continued to earn 34.03 million, and the box office successfully exceeded 100 million in three days!

The propaganda offensive of "Those Years" has not stopped, and all major newspapers, magazines, and theaters are overwhelmed with the news and propaganda of "Those Years", and all the people have been continuously bombarded by "Those Years".

After the audience who was brought into the cinema by these advertisements watched the movie, most of them praised it, and then formed a domino effect, I heard that it was very touching, it can make people rejuvenate, it can make people reminisce about the past, everyone is curious, and then go to the cinema with curiosity to buy tickets to watch the movie.

On the fourth day, that is, the time when the theater chain changed its film schedule, "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years" continued to be screened by movie-watching storms.

"Infernal Affairs" relies on its unparalleled star effect and the incomparably wonderful interpretation, the attendance rate is still high-end, reaching 94%, receiving a box office of 52 million, pushing the total box office to 200 million yuan.

And "Those Years" benefited from the ubiquitous publicity, as well as the vast popularity and the 5,000 screens discharged by the theater, and successfully won 48 million yuan! Attendance is still at 93%!

Although its score on mtime has declined, it still has a score of 9.2, continuing to be parallel to "Infernal Affairs" and being in the ranks of high scores above 9.0.

And "Hedong Lion's Roar" and "Minority Report" can be said to be suppressed by the two movies "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years" at this time! It's hard work!!

The attendance rate of "Hedong Lion's Roar" on this day was only 71%, and the mtime score dropped to 8.0 points. Many viewers who have watched "Those Years" and "Infernal Affairs" feel that it is nonsensical, and sometimes it can't compare to those wonderful feature films.

Although "Minority Report" has the reputation of a Hollywood blockbuster, and the mtime score is also 8.9 points, it seems to be a little unsuitable, and although the number of screen blocks has been reduced to 3500, the attendance rate is still hovering around 75%.

It is conceivable that according to this trend, this week's box office champions and runners-up will definitely be "Infernal Affairs" and "Those Years"!!
