Chapter 331: Big Bang! The box office on the first day was 400 million!
"Gravity" is now released on a pretty good scale in the world, partly because of their previous public relations and the publicity of many countries or regions, some because of the previous "Source Code" for Chen Xi's establishment, and some because of the Cannes Film Festival.
…… All in all, these countries and regions now have quite good first-day film schedules.
In China, the first day of "Gravity" has exceeded 40%, which is a pretty good number, and the movie is still available in 2D for everyone to choose from.
Of course, this is Chen Xi's idea, he doesn't want to directly deprive everyone of the right to choose, anyway, some people's anti-3D sentiment has actually begun to appear.
It's just that this movie, whether it is based on the word-of-mouth and feedback of many people when it was screened before, or the results of discussions with some theaters, basically let 3D screenings account for the majority, of course, judging from the effect of the first day, sure enough, most of the audience still chose 3D to watch, and those who chose 2D were only some people who didn't buy 3D tickets.
In fact, this is also very understandable, first of all, "Gravity" is a special effects blockbuster, not a film like "Bride Wars", this kind of movie Many people think that they can only see those things with 3D effects, so they are still quite looking forward to the 3D version of this movie.
And most people will also choose the 3D version of the movie.
Secondly, the film was released before it was released. Many people, whether in terms of word-of-mouth or other aspects, think that this film is still a 3D version is cool. Because the 3D effect in the middle is also quite good. At this point, you may not trust other directors, thinking that their movies may have the phenomenon that only subtitles are 3D, but for Chen Xi's films, they don't have such concerns, after all, this is Chen Xi!
Besides, it's not that they haven't watched "Journey to the West" before, and everyone thinks the 3D effect of that film is quite good.
Another thing is that some of the people who really start to hate 3D movies are just some people. There are many people who still think that what is the point of watching a movie if it is not watching 3D? If you want to watch 2D directly, you can just watch it on the Internet. If you go to the cinema, it makes no difference?
Under the guidance of some ideas like this, all in all, most of the tickets sold in "Gravity" now are some 3D movie tickets. Of course. Although group buying has appeared now, at least the special ticket strategy of seat selection and endless e-commerce has not appeared, so the ticket price of 3D movies is still higher than that of 2D movies after all, so the box office of "Gravity" has grown very fast.
And now, Chen Xi's Aiying they established has also started online ticket sales, although they don't sell special tickets, but the function of seat selection and ticket purchase still makes everyone feel quite good.
After all. Many people are faced with the problem that they have to buy tickets in advance to watch movies. After all, if you don't go in advance, it's easy to sell out all the tickets, at least you can't get any good seats, but if you buy tickets in advance, everyone will find it too troublesome, and it's not at the train station and bus station......
As a result, this online seat selection function solves many people's concerns, so that many people begin to accept this thing, and the speed of movie ticket sales is constantly increasing.
…… From the morning, even early in the morning, about half past ten, "Gravity" began to sell in many movie theaters in China and sold a lot, and by noon there were more and more people, and in the afternoon it ushered in a peak, and it did not fall back until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
I have to say that Chinese fans have been waiting for this movie for too long, too long, and they can't wait to see this film they have been waiting for for so long.
Before, the big investment in "Gravity", as well as the theme of the story, have attracted their attention, and the gimmick of the space two-part series is also of great interest to them, and soon after, "Gravity" ushered in the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, which is a very valuable award. In any case, it is also necessary to buy a movie ticket to get a sneak peek.
As a result, Chinese fans who walked into the cinema quickly felt the shock of the effect brought by this real 3D movie, and the movie is by no means only special effects and 3D effects, in fact, this is a very entertaining story, but also a tense story.
Of course, there are a small number of people who can see some of the metaphors in it, maybe at most twenty or thirty percent, but even if you don't have to watch these metaphors, there will still be many people who feel that they are completely attracted to this movie, and feel worried about any action of the heroine, and they are also quite worried about her next ending, until the heroine finally arrives on the beach, and their worries are finally reined in, and then there is a feeling of relaxation. It's as if they, too, are the aftermath of the catastrophe like the heroine......
So, after walking out of the cinema, not only did many people feel quite shocked and thought that this film was very good, but also many people had decided that they would come and watch this film several times.
"Sure enough, Chen Xi's movies don't have to worry at all, as if he is different from other Chinese directors!"
"From special effects to story...... Any place is full of delicacy, and Director Chen's film is really amazing! ”
"No wonder it won the Cannes Grand Prix, Gravity is really good......"
"I really can't imagine that we in China can make such a movie, the delicacy of the movie picture is really amazing." Amid all the accolades, the first-day box office of "Gravity" on its first day in China stunned everyone.
137 million RMB!
When this number appeared, many people were shocked. I really feel like I'm out of breath when I speak...... That's not a joke, is it? 137 million!
First day box office!
What the hell is going on?
All of a sudden, the entire Chinese film industry was shocked, and all Chinese filmmakers were shocked.
They really didn't think of it. The market of the Chinese film market has actually reached this level.
"Gravity" broke too many records in an instant, including the highest single-day box office, including the highest first-day box office, etc., which have basically all been smashed by "Gravity" like a plow.
More than 100 million a day!
How the hell did this come about?
All of a sudden, many filmmakers, those with red eyes, had their first reaction in their hearts that something was wrong. So they have begun to investigate and secretly visit, and are ready to find some black materials, saying that "Gravity" is brushing the box office or something...... Of course, they could not find evidence, at least no real evidence. Because "Gravity" really didn't brush the box office.
Now, almost all of the Chinese film industry is discussing this matter.
On a meager note, the topic of #地心引力首日票房1 37 million # has become the top three on the hot search list, and many people have expressed their amazement below.
And. Meanwhile. Many media outlets have also begun to hype up this terrifying figure, and many headlines that seem to be quite powerful have appeared in major Chinese media.
"Gravity "attracted" a box office of 137 million on the first day, did you buy a ticket? ”
"The box office of "Gravity" on the first day was 137 million, breaking many records, and it is difficult to find a ticket, which is comparable to the Spring Festival."
""Gravity" exploded at the box office, and the mainland box office broke through!"
…… After a lot of titles like this, there are a lot of fanatics.
"Sure enough, this is Director Chen! That's his movie! I watched "Gravity" today, and it's a pretty good movie that you would find pretty good if you watch it as an entertainment movie, and it will get your adrenalines pumping. It will make you feel like you are also in the middle of nowhere, and there are dangers in all directions. If you think about the visual effects breakthrough, you will feel that you have watched a very enjoyable movie, but if you look at it as a literary film, it is not inferior to other movies! Such a movie, visually impeccable, is only as it should have been to get such a high box office! The expansion of the box office of Chinese mainland films, the extra box office should be given to such movies. ”
"I won more than 100 million in one day, and it was the first day...... It's horrible, that's all it can say! ”
"As soon as Chen Xi comes out, who will compete? The box office on the first day was 137 million, which is really a figure that makes people feel chilled when they see it, which is really terrifying. ”
…… Among the countless voices, "Gravity" has become extremely popular in China all of a sudden, and many people watch the movie with a mentality of "domestic movies have actually reached this level", and they also feel a strong sense of pride, and the word-of-mouth in many places is flying, which also makes their feeling more solid, and it is also more able for them to find some allies and find companions.
And these people will affect more people, when such people start to become a climate, more and more people will join the team to follow the trend, as if they will fall behind if they don't watch "Gravity", and if they don't think the movie is good, they will fall behind.
Such things have happened countless times in later generations.
"Monster Hunt", "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "Charlotte's Troubles" and so on are all like that......
And now "Gravity" is obviously more violent, and the box office of 137 million on the first day really broke everyone's extreme imagination of the mainland movie box office.
Moreover, at the same time, it was accompanied by the high scores of 8.5 on Time.com and Douban.com, with a score of 8.6 points on Time.com and a score of 8.8 points on Douban.
…… And it's not all.
In North America, "Gravity" was also released immediately, and the film hit the first day of the box office of $23.9 million in more than 2,784 theaters in North America.
All of a sudden, the performance of "Gravity" in the North American market shocked the world!
Oh, my God!
$23.9 million on the first day?
Foreign language films!
It's a lie, right?
However, it didn't take long for them to discover that this was a real thing.
For a while, everyone's shock was indescribable, but this also stimulated many countries and regions to want "Gravity" to be released as soon as possible.
In fact, the box office success in North America is also the meaning of the title, after all, during this period of time, "Gravity" has smashed into such a terrible publicity cost in North America, and there have been various hypes such as winning awards before, Chen regrets that they have a lot of hype experience on the North American Internet when they released many movies before, and now the hype experience in North America plays a role, "Gravity" is very popular on the Internet, and the previous screening has also poked many people's nerves, and after really watching this movie, Many people in the United States feel a kind of shock, and it is the same shock that starts from special effects stories and the like, this shock goes deep into the bone marrow, for this movie, many people are quite fanatical, and immediately go home and write a review after watching it.
As a result, "Gravity" exploded like this, breaking countless Chinese films in an instant...... No, it should be the record of countless foreign language films at the North American box office.
As a result, in China and the United States alone, "Gravity" hit a box office of $44 million on the first day......
And it's not just these two countries and regions that have released "Gravity", there are also other big box officers, such as Japan and Europe, which have also opened their arms to this movie.
As a result, in addition to the two countries in China and the United States, "Gravity" hit a total of $21.5 million on the first day of the box office in other countries and regions in the world, so the box office of this movie is only within a few countries and regions, and it has a terrifying level of $66.5 million on the first day.
This is equivalent to 455 million RMB.
"Gravity" was crowned as the highest-grossing Chinese film in history on the first day without suspense, and instantly became the focus of attention of the whole world.
"Gravity" actually won the box office champion of the day in China and North America!
And the legend continues.
With such a good reputation and such a hot topic as support, "Gravity" won 120 million and 108 million respectively in the mainland on the next Saturday and Sunday, and the box office broke 100 million yuan for three consecutive days, and 365 million yuan in three days, followed by countless broken records.
At the same time, the film earned a total of $75.1 million at the first-weekend box office in North America, instantly killing the records of "Source Code" and "Perfect Life", becoming the second-highest foreign language film at the North American box office.
When these results came out, the whole world was shocked, this kind of film that conquered the North American box office market so fiercely, the eyes of the whole world were focused here, and too many people saw the name.
Chen Xi.
This is the work of director Chen Xi! (To be continued......)
