"A damn clown movie, some ridiculous people dancing a funny dance in it that makes people laugh, I want to say that the era of the so-called kung fu movies of the Chinese with fists and embroidered legs has long passed, and now all that is left is some leftovers, Chen Xi's so-called "Raid" even if it really won the award at the Toronto Film Festival, it must be a pretty poor film, don't pay too much attention to it!"

Johnson is not only directly on his own now, but he even spent a little money to find some water armies to hack "Raid" on the Internet. Of course, in the United States, where pragmatism prevails, this kind of black person practice obviously must be stopped, because if you spend too much money just to vent your anger, it is really unnecessary, as for to black them to death, it will definitely cost more money, although it will feel cool to think about it, but Johnson does not think that that can bring him any benefits......

Since there is no interest...... Even if it can satisfy his anger, Johnson still won't use it......

It was in this situation that "The Raid" also caused some repercussions in North America, but it was more in terms of publicity......

The main promotion of the film is still carried out by Xiguang Company and some other professionals, these professionals are more experienced, and there are many movies that have been promoted in North America, plus Chen Xi They have also invested a lot of money in North America to promote "Raid", and they also have the aura of the Toronto Film Festival, so everyone's = expectations for "Raid" are indeed relatively strong.

So in such a situation, the current "Raid" does have a relatively good environment.

It's just that this schedule in March is not very good, although it is not a death schedule for a movie, but the addition to some things in the movie is indeed relatively limited.

...... the day of the screening of "Raid" is getting closer and closer, although Chen Xi is also very worried, but if he goes to North America now, it will not have much effect, after all, he has no influence in North America, and it will be in vain to go...... So now Chen Xi is mainly staying in China. I hope to cut out "Beijing Meets Seattle" as much as possible, and for this goal, he can only receive the news of "Raid" remotely in China during this time.

Soon, the movie was released!

On the first day of the screening of "The Raid", a total of 6 theaters were released......

In fact, the influence of Chinese films in North America is not as good as it was a few years ago, especially the modern dramas of Chinese action movies, which are not very popular...... And Chen regrets that almost all of them are newcomers, and none of these team members in "Raid" have a well-known foundation in North America at present.

When this movie was promoted, it featured some highlights from the trailer. Then there's the award the film won at the Toronto Film Festival, and now it's time for the mule to come out and walk around.

The screening of "Raid" is an ultra-long-term screening, according to the agreement with major movie theaters, this is to see the results of the first week, if you can, it will be added to 10 movie theaters in the second week, 15 or so movie theaters in the third week, and the fourth week is almost the day of release......

In this way, everyone is quite looking forward to the box office table of the first week of "The Raid". And this will also affect the release schedule and box office schedule of "The Raid" in the future...... In fact, Chen Xi wanted to win the screening of 13 movie theaters in the first week, but there was no way, the movie theaters were not easy to talk to, and Chen Xi was not famous or too well-known. These did affect the release journey of "The Raid".

Chen Xi clearly understands these news, but he can't help it, he really doesn't have any reputation now, and he really doesn't have enough foundation. These things need to be put together slowly by punch and kick......

Under such circumstances, "The Raid" began to premiere.

Johnson was quite happy after hearing the news that "The Raid" would premiere in 6 venues. Because judging from the current situation, the theater chain is really not optimistic about Chen Xi's "Raid" in this regard, otherwise it would not have premiered only 6 venues...... Johnson felt that he was about to see one of their failures, and his mood was very high.

He really hates Chen Xi and others now, and he hates that unlucky things happen to Chen Xi, so in the face of this possibility, Johnson is really excited.

Now in terms of theaters, the requirement for Chen Xi is that on average, each venue gets $5,000 at the box office for three days on the weekend...... In other words, "The Raid" must get a total of $30,000 at the box office within the weekend of its premiere. This is not a small amount, and it is not easy to get it.

You must know that after many Chinese movies arrive in the North American market, the final box office is not even 10,000 US dollars, and these are still some well-known works in China!

Some of the specific content of this matter is still because some people found a channel and then returned to China because of some places, and suddenly, there was a discussion on the Internet, and one of them was praised by many people as more objective:

"Now this kind of box office requirements are actually quite strict for "Raid" and Chen Xi! Don't think that this box office requirement is less than 210,000 yuan a week, and think that this figure is very low...... But let's take a look at the box office numbers of many Chinese movies before, and now the theaters here require Chen Xi to use a movie theater to get some Chinese movies within three days, and get quite good box office for a long time! This is obviously a difficult thing to do, Chen Xi did not have much popularity in North America before, and there were no actors who really had popularity in North America in the cast of "Raid", so if Chen Xi wanted to complete this task, it would be particularly difficult. ”

Such an analysis reminds many people of the previous record of the fiasco of Chinese films in the North American box office market, and for a while, everyone's eyebrows were full of solemnity, and they felt that this matter was not simple, and what they had to face next might be more complicated.

"$5,000 at the box office for one venue? Hehe, what an eye-opener! This whimsical is also quite confident! It's a pity that the market will give him a slap in the face instead of me! Johnson posted such a message on his personal Twitter, and although almost no one watched it, the curse that this guy had on Chen Xi and them obviously appeared on it.

…… Of course, in fact, many theater owners are also holding a wait-and-see attitude, if the average box office of a single theater of "The Raid" is less than $3,000 in the first weekend, then the film will have to be cut...... Even if it's an award-winning film at the Toronto Film Festival......

As for the confidence in this film...... It's not easy to say either, after all, the audience's taste is the most difficult to grasp, and sometimes it will surprise you, and there is no way.

On the first weekend, the three-day screening began!

There are more people who go into the cinema, and it is obvious that they are overseas Chinese, including the overseas box office of Indian Bollywood movies, a large part of which is contributed by overseas people of Indian origin. Of course, the real results of Chinese-language films in the North American box office market are not because of Chinese, but because many Americans have begun to like Chinese costume action movies.

Among the fans who first entered the cinema of "Raid", 40% were overseas Chinese, and the rest were people of various ethnic groups...... These people know that the channels of this movie are different, but for the movie, most of them focus on the ferocious fights, fist-to-flesh attacks, and another interpretation of Chinese martial arts, which are really fascinating.

So most of them don't look forward to the plot of this film, but purely to see the action scenes of the movie and other things...... In fact, this also proves that "The Raid" is accurate in its publicity, and it does not lead everyone to some miscellaneous places that are not too important, which is indeed quite important.

When these people went to the cinema, they were quickly conquered by the unbridled violence of the film and the beauty of the violence that pervades China's official duties...... A lot of people are shouting while watching, anyway, the movie theater is full of the kind of eyes that stare directly at the screen, and these eyes are almost all looking straight ahead, without the slightest intention of stopping, as if the eyes are glued to it.

"It's so cool!"

“fuck…… It's so cool!"

…… From the very beginning of the gun headshot to the later development, it gradually became hand-to-hand combat and the use of a variety of weapons, cold weapons and hot weapons are intertwined, and the modified Chinese kung fu runs everywhere, and the feeling of punching to the flesh makes a person feel excited.

Now, whether it's Chinese or whatever...... Anyway, I found a strong shock in such a visual carnival, and because of the extremely strong excitement generated by those things inside, the refreshing feeling that spread to the whole body has been permeating. The classification level of "Raid" is very unfavorable, but this also ensures that the audience who enters the cinema basically likes this bloody genre the most, and "Raid" really hit their G-spot!

So in the cinema, the excitement of these people can be imagined!

When they walked out of the cinema, they were almost always excited! This movie is really great for them and they will try to recommend it to those around them.

As a result, the attendance rate of "The Raid" is getting better and better, and the number of people entering the cinema is also increasing, and these people are snowballing more and more audiences and more and more good word of mouth......

"The Raid" is like this, in the first weekend of 6 theaters, a total of 68,700 US dollars at the horror box office! (To be continued......) R1292
