Although the North American market may not really be as good as people imagine, good movies and bad movies have no box office, but relatively speaking, the North American market is indeed more mature, and the North American market is a very good place for those movies that really have a good reputation.

In the North American market, movies with a real reputation generally do not do well at the box office, which has been proven.

The current word-of-mouth of "The Raid" in the North American market is indeed quite good, and when it comes to the official release, many Americans have walked into the cinema.

Of course, before entering the cinema, they still have doubts about this film in their hearts, because everyone thinks that the genre of Chinese movies may be exempted from inspection more than costume-type action kung fu films, and their recognition of this modern type of fight scene is not quite high.

Of course, Jackie Chan has also impressed Americans with his kung fu comedies, and "Red Fan Zone" and "Rush Hour" have been particularly good at the box office and elsewhere.

But that's in the past......

"The King of Kung Fu", which was released last year, is the best among the recent movies related to Chinese action movies, this film won 52.07 million US dollars in North America and 128 million US dollars at the global box office, in fact, this is already quite a good result, but the dialogue of "The King of Kung Fu" is basically? It's all in English, although there are Chinese stars like Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, and Liu Yifei in the middle, but this is actually a relatively pure American film, including the narrative style, which is also pure American style, just a story of Monkey King.

This is still a costume kung fu movie......

And now it's time for The Raid!

Fortunately, so far, the movie reviews of "The Raid" are relatively good, especially the IMDB score, which is definitely a big killer......

Now, everyone is looking forward to the first week of release of "The Raid", because it's not just a matter of the film's next stamina and a real box office test. And it's also a question of what the final income of the movie will be......

Because the first week of "Raid" can get 75% of the box office, in the middle, after Chen Xi and Xiguang Films shared the spoils again, Chen Xi and they were able to share 50% of the box office in the first week, this number is indeed quite powerful, and even more powerful than the domestic box office, but there are not many such opportunities...... In the second week, "The Raid" could only get 40% of the box office on Chen Xi's side, 35% in the third week, and only 30% in the fourth week...... So "The Raid" is now transformed into a pretty good box office as soon as possible, so it should be done as soon as possible.

Chen Xi has now temporarily finished the matter of "Beijing Meets Seattle". is just waiting to see the box office of "The Raid", although he can't do anything about it himself, but there are some things he still has to do.

Now there are indeed many people who are waiting to see the official box office of "Raid" in North America in the first week like Chen Xi, and at this point, everyone is waiting with their necks stretched.

...... "Raid" has officially premiered!

The first week of "Raid" in North America was released from Wednesday, Wednesday and Thursday are actually just cannon fodder time, a movie, especially in North America, can only really box office Friday, Saturday and Sunday, within these three days. Only the box office of a movie can soar.

…… The first week gradually came to an end in the expectation of many people, and some concerned fans in the United States got the box office figures for the first time, including Chen Xi, who also got the figures for the first time. Thanks to these Chinese media, there are still many people. All in all, now fans in China have also got the box office figures of "The Raid" at a relatively fast speed!

In the first week, "The Raid" won $7.54 million at the first-week box office in more than 800 theaters in North America! After this number appeared, everyone was almost boiling!

"Directly hit down 7.54 million US dollars! "Raid" is really too domineering. Such a movie can be regarded as a very good domestic film in the North American box office market in recent years! The box office of more than 7 million also entered the top 15 of the North American box office list of Chinese films at once, and Chen Xi really hit the incredible box office in the Chinese market. But his box office performance on the North American side is also quite amazing, very good! ”

"Chen Xi is really the hope of the Chinese director industry!" Now there are some people who can't help but say this, in fact, the mentality of Chinese is always so difficult to correct, always hope that they will raise their eyebrows in front of foreigners or something, of course, this is related to many factors, so similar things are indeed very many: "His table in the domestic film box office market makes people see the height that a young director can achieve, and now his "Raid" is released in North America, and he can actually get such a high box office, looking at the box office in this first week, "Raid" The table xiàn in North America should be pretty good! ”

"Chen Xi's current situation should have only appeared before Chenglong and them back then! Cheng Long didn't have any fame when they first started to break into Hollywood, so they could only fight their status with one punch and one kick, and spell out the North American box office of "Drunken Fist 2", "Killer Trench", "Senior Brother Out" and even the shocked "Red Fan Zone...... And now Chen Xi's "Raid" is an even more gorgeous start! It's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to see the finished film of "Raid", and now we can only know the lineup of "Raid", and Wu Jing's fame should gradually spread through "Raid"! ”

Flat-chested, Wu Jing's appearance in "Raid" is indeed quite good, that kind of fist-to-flesh combat style, coupled with some gorgeous movements full of appreciation, has made him popular in North America relatively fast now, and now the number of people who know Wu Jing is also increasing.

Now because the news of "The Raid" has spread back to China, it has also brought dissatisfaction to many domestic fans: a Chinese film is now getting such a high box office abroad, and it can conquer those blond and blue-eyed Americans, which is a kind of satisfaction for everyone, but why is there no way to see such an excellent work in China? Now almost every Chinese movie fan, especially Chen Xi's movie fans, is haunted by this incident, feeling quite unhappy and angry......

After Chen Xi got the news of the box office list of the first week of "Raid" in the North American market, a big stone fell to the ground! It seems that "The Raid" has achieved the effect he wanted at the beginning, and even now "The Raid" has gotten something higher than he imagined, and this film only got less than $7 million at the box office in the North American market in the original time and space trajectory, but he won this version in the first week!

The reason is, on the one hand, because Chen Xi they are still Chinese after all, and the popularity of Chinese action movies in North America is much higher than that of Indonesian Shenma, so everyone sees that it is a Chinese action movie, and the reputation is good, and the first reaction is to want to see more.

On the other hand, Chen Xi's version of "The Raid" won the Toronto Film Festival award, and Chen Xi and they threw a lot of money into it for publicity, which was not done at all by the original "Raid".

Another thing that is quite important is that "Raid" is better than the original, and even more so in the action scenes, the action experience of Hong Kong films is very rich, much richer than that of Indonesian Shenma, so after many consultations between Chen Xi and Liu Jialiang, they finally got a more good-looking "Raid", and it took relatively little time......

In addition, the long screening of "The Raid" a month before has piled up the film's reputation to the peak, and so far, the cumulative box office of "The Raid" has reached $8 million...... Chen regrets that they can get a share of about $3.7 million after deducting some things, although this cannot recover the cost, but it has recovered a considerable amount of costs......

And now the IMDB score of "The Raid" has dropped slightly, but it still maintains a level of 7.8 points, ordinary fans, many professional film critics and even some film review media are still saying good things about "The Raid", saying that the movie is well shot and the reputation is still accumulating, so the box office of "The Raid" should not be bad in the future......

Sure enough, after the arrival of the second week, the box office of "The Raid" continued to grow, and it still got 4.77 million US dollars in a week, which is a relatively good box office reduction among the movies released in the North American market now, and the cumulative North American box office of "The Raid" exceeded 10 million in two weeks!

"The Raid" is really crazy in the North American market!

Not to mention Chinese movie fans, even fans from some other countries are quite shocked when they see this, a Chinese action movie has once again let the world know what is called a Chinese action movie......

The box office of more than 10 million US dollars also made the North American box office of "The Raid" surpass Zhou Xuanchi's "Kung Fu", and now it is the tenth place in the box office list of foreign language films in North America......

And the box office of "The Raid" is still growing, and in the third week, it still got 2.04 million US dollars! (To be continued......) R1292
