Chapter 291 Global Box Office, $300 million!
"Source Code" is hot at the overseas box office, and the best overseas Chinese film in recent years has been released!"
"The overseas box office myth of "Source Code", which has been achieved for 200 million US dollars, is unstoppable by director Chen Xi."
"A new hope for Chinese films! "Source Code" has become a miracle of Chinese films in recent years. ”
…… Among the super praise of many Chinese media, "Source Code" has almost unstoppable in China, and everyone is watching the journey of such a film in the North American market and the world market, and feels a strong sense of shock.
The box office that "Source Code" is getting around the world is indeed quite terrifying.
And now the film is also growing to critical acclaim around the world, and not just in the North American market.
In North America, the film has received a lot of praise so far, it is the same as many people imagined, and the movie's current IMDB rating and Rotten Tomatoes online ratings have maintained a fairly high level.
As for the performance of movies in other markets in the world, it is not only in terms of box office, in fact, a large part of the people who watch movies now still use the quality of the movie to decide whether to go to the cinema or not, that is, some people who still have great concerns about the quality of a movie, and they really care about the praise of "Source Code" in their hearts.
Therefore, in fact, many of the high box office of "Source Code" in the world market are still gradually piled up with a lot of praise.
In the Southeast Asian market:
"In the past, what was rampant in our film market was usually some Xiangjiang action movies, we watched a lot, and there may be aesthetic fatigue, but if Cheng Long has a movie, we will basically support it, but I have to say that Chinese films have been in decline for too long, and the current Chinese films are just barely relying on domestic film protection policies to make a living. But. The appearance of director Chen Xi has subverted my point of view, what I see now is a "Raid" that won the Toronto International Award, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" is also very good-looking Chen Xi, and now such a "Source Code" has received such a high box office in the whole world! "Source Code" made me see the new power of Chinese films, and in terms of science fiction, at least Chen Xi has taken his own step! ”
East Asian Market:
"The setting of "Source Code" is very interesting, it can be said that this is an amazing idea, I have heard that the idea of "Source Code" comes from "Butterfly Effect", but that movie is actually completely different from "Source Code", "Source Code" also echoes the real commercial film in terms of rhythm processing! Chinese may also be able to make movies now. In addition to shooting exquisite literary films and gorgeous martial arts films, they are also able to shoot such genre movies that integrate multiple elements, and they are also very good creatively! ”
European Market:
"I first knew the name Chen Xi because of "Raid" and "Embroidered Spring Knife", of course, I felt that Chen Xi's path should not be long in the world, but I soon found out that I was wrong, when a movie that has been carefully carved in terms of plot and world view, and there are many elements such as action and science fiction in the middle, I found that I couldn't resist such a movie at all! It may not be that great, but it's exceptionally exquisite. ”
…… In the escort of some of the praises like this. The box office of "Source Code" has finally achieved a high level of sesame blossoming, and Chen Xi's popularity around the world is also growing.
…… And return to the most essential Chinese film market at the beginning!
In the Chinese film market, "Source Code" really amazed the Chinese audience just after it came out, and they suddenly found out. It turns out that if you want to see such a wonderful sci-fi movie, you don't need to go abroad, you don't need to watch a lot of Hollywood blockbusters with similar routines, Chen Xi has already made it!
Chen Xiqi was an eye-catching filmmaker at the beginning, and the energy he got from "Border Storm" was quite exciting. The box office and word-of-mouth of that movie also gave hope to many Chinese filmmakers.
After the result of "Raid", Chen Xi once again shocked them to the point of incomparability, and this movie let everyone see the hope of Chinese films in the world. Chen Xi is still the same Chen Xi who surprised and shocked them.
Then to the current "Source Code", Chen Xi is like a star, and suddenly brings everyone an unparalleled impact on the data and many places.
What you get from Source Code now is really eye-popping, and many people feel as if they have seen a miracle.
Therefore, some Chinese filmmakers have begun to plan to try to break out of the country again.
That's the power of a movie.
In fact, the Chinese film market and the Japanese film market are relatively strange, this strange point, the Japanese market is because there will be a lot of two-dimensional things that occupy the mainstream of the market all year round, which makes people feel very strange, and although the Chinese film market does not occupy the mainstream, but in the future generations there will be a lot of strange things such as variety shows, big movies and the like, which are ridiculous, but they can always hit a very terrible box office with quite bad films, such as "Where Are You Going, Dad", "Run, Brother" and the like......
If the Chinese film market is full of money-making works such as "Where Are You Going, Dad", or some high-grossing masterpieces such as "You at the Same Table", "Gardenia Blooms" and "Little Times", how many filmmakers will want to patiently polish the quality of a movie and then want to exchange it for a good box office? Everyone only thinks about how to make the highest-grossing movie at the lowest cost, and few people still insist on calming down and studying how to make high-quality and good-looking movies...... These are the impacts on the market.
And now the emergence of Chen Xi's "Source Code" has made many people see some hope, and they have seen the hope that Chinese films can be recognized by everyone around the world, and everyone feels that if we want to make our films more concerned by everyone, what we need is quality.
…… Of course, I don't know if some of these ideas are just temporary ideas that they come up with at the tip of the brain, or if they have been making decisions for a long time.
But no matter what, now Chen Xi's ability is here.
In fact, Chen Xi has always been unrecognized by the traditional Chinese film circle, and many filmmakers will still think that Chen Xi is a spoiler.
There have been a lot of discord between Chen Xi and the traditional film industry before, and there have even been some confrontations between each other. even did it directly.
However, now Chen Xi is slapping them with his performance, Chen Xi's high box office and quite strong reputation in the whole world have told them that even if Chen Xi has now broken away from the rules and regulations of the traditional film industry, but Chen Xi's alternative stove is not only not self-destruction, but has also achieved quite good results, especially the box office of this movie that Chen Xi has obtained so far is enough to explain everything.
…… Lu Qi, they were really unlucky to the extreme during this period of time, although the box office would not be against the sky, but at least it was okay "Nanjing! Nanking! Now because of the war that broke out between them and Chen Xi before, they were suddenly dragged into the abyss. Now it is impossible for this movie to get 40 million at the box office in the end.
Correspondingly, "Source Code" sang all the way in the international market, won the world's highest box office of Chinese films after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and created a famous reputation overseas.
Moreover, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" basically had no performance in the mainland market back then, and it ended hastily at the box office, and now "Source Code" still has a Chinese mainland market, so it is no suspense that the global cumulative box office of "Source Code" exceeds that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Chen Xi will also become the first person at the box office of Chinese films......
And it's done at his current age of less than 27!
The traditional film industry has basically fallen out with Chen Xi before. And both sides have entered the stage of bayonet red, and in such a situation, reconciliation between them is already quite difficult, but. What makes them more sad is that Chen Xi with his "Source Code" is now slapping them hard and letting them know the cruelty of the era when business is king in the new era......
Now Chen Xi has really become famous, especially in China, and his prestige is unparalleled among filmmakers and ordinary fans. His glory has already been spontaneously defended by many people, in front of such a Chen Xi, Zhuang Guofei, who had a scolding war with Chen Xi before. What needs to be more worried now is the liquidation of fans later, which may be particularly terrifying.
"Source Code" won 217 million yuan in the first week of its domestic release, becoming the weekly box office champion of this week without suspense, and it became a very exciting movie that broke 200 million at the box office within a week.
And that didn't stop there, and soon a lot of the influence of Source Code is still coming back today.
In the second week, the 8.3 points that this movie got on Time.com and Douban at the same time became a solid backing for the film's word-of-mouth, and at the same time, the box office success of "Source Code" is now attracting more people's attention, and they also want to see "Source Code" and see what this movie that has conquered many foreigners is like.
So, in the second week, although "Source Code" has entered a period of exhaustion in the eyes of many people, the box office of this movie is still quite terrifying, and in the second week, the movie still maintained a super box office of 210 million yuan, and for a while, everyone felt a strong shock for the strong box office of this movie.
In the third week, there are still many fans who go to the cinema to watch "Source Code", and their expectations for this movie are getting stronger and stronger, and there are many people who watch it over and over again, some because they like the movie very much, and some simply because they want to support domestic movies, to be precise, they should support good domestic movies.
This week, "Source Code" still got a box office of 154 million yuan, and the cumulative box office reached 581 million yuan, which easily surpassed the previous number of Chen Xi's "Beijing Meets Seattle", and also exceeded the previous blockbusters such as "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", becoming the first film in history to exceed 500 million yuan in the Chinese mainland box office market! And now that the fourth week has begun, everyone is now rejoicing that "Source Code" has broken many records, but also full of anticipation for the future of the film.
Now many people are paying attention to what kind of position "Source Code" can finally reach, and whether this movie can exceed 700 million yuan at the box office? After all, there is definitely no problem with the box office of the movie exceeding 600 million, and now it is 700 million, which makes people feel that there is still some sense of expectation.
In their attention, the fourth week of the release of "Source Code" began, and after the start of this week, the box office of "Source Code" fell below 100 million, and it was 85 million yuan...... In this case, many theaters have begun to apply for a longer release time for "Source Code", and after such things have piled up, after careful thinking and many negotiations, "Source Code" will be extended throughout the continent, and the release time will reach a total of 55 days!
At the beginning of the fifth week, "Source Code" still got 36 million yuan at the box office within a week, at this time "Avatar" has really begun to be released for a long time and has shown its success at the box office, but after all, this movie is in 3D format, and it does not have the most simple and rough strong impact with "Source Code".
By the fifth week, the box office of this movie was still at a very high level, and although many other films were also Chinese New Year films, they were inevitably overshadowed by the source code.
At this time, the cumulative box office of "Source Code" also reached a very strong 702 million yuan, such a good box office also made this film the first Chinese film in history to exceed 700 million yuan at the mainland box office.
In the end, "Source Code" was released in Chinese mainland for fifty-five days, and finally won the box office of 743 million, becoming the champion of the mainland film box office list, but unfortunately the champion position can not be maintained for too long, and will soon be washed away by the fierce "Avatar" later, but now it is indeed encouraging to get such a good box office all of a sudden.
As a result, the domestic box office of this film also exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the global cumulative box office finally reached 330 million US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing film in the history of Chinese cinema. (To be continued......)
