Roughly the same as previously speculated, although the right-wing film "Sunset" made in Japan received a lot of media attention after its release, it did not meet the expectations of both box office and attendance.

"Five Sumo Boys" received unanimous praise from critics, but the box office was always tepid. "Iron Man 2" won die-hard fans, but it was cut before its release, and it was set an age limit, and it did not improve at the box office, so it could only wait for the release of the tape like the previous part, and then fight again. The imported film "Indochina", which was also favored by film critics, failed to defeat half of the box office of "League of Assassins" on the first day of its release.

However, Japan in the 90s lived up to its name as "Hollywood's fertile soil", and for more than 20 years before the future Chinese mainland market took shape, it was responsible for providing a market and a steady stream of box office revenue for the failed films of American Hollywood companies that failed in Europe and North America.

Unexpectedly, but it is reasonable that "Lethal Weapon 3", a film that has seen a significant decline in attendance and word-of-mouth in the United States compared with the previous two films, and there is no shortage of North American film critics who have given 'bad reviews', but the box office is hot after its release in Japan. Although the box office on the first day of release was slightly lower than that of "League of Assassins", the follow-up ability to attract money was no worse than "League of Assassins" promoted by Lin Xiaozhi, and after its release, the two movies were almost inseparable.

Even though the reputation and attendance rate of "League of Assassins" are higher than that of "Lethal Weapon 3", but its theaters and screens are more than 40% more, so since the release of "League of Assassins", although it has the intention to compete with it for the Japanese box office championship in October, it has been overpowered, and the box office gap between the two films has always remained between 200 million and 300 million yen after half a month.

However, Rao is like this, a Hong Kong film can be inseparable from American blockbusters in Japan, which has made the whole country of Japan, which has set off waves of admiration for the United States since the war, and many heavyweight Japanese newspapers have confiscated a penny of self-inflicted efforts, giving a lot of space and hype to the great achievements of Lin Xiaozhi, Media Asia and Hong Kong films in recent years.

Not only did many Japanese filmmakers envy this in the comments, but also many Japanese filmmakers proposed to follow the example of Hong Kong films to learn and reform, so as to reverse the deterioration of Japanese live-action films in the past decade, and the huge domestic film box office market has long been occupied by American films and other foreign films, leaving animation films alone in the abnormal development model.

In the Japanese market, he may not be the October box office champion, but in the United Kingdom, Lin Xiaozhi and his "League of Assassins" made a big splash this time, and quickly jumped to the top of the October box office list in the UK in the second week of release.

Although after several years of painstaking management, Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia are now well-known in the UK, and when his new film was ready to be released, it was connected to 297 theaters for release, almost equal to "Alien 3" (299), second only to "Lethal Weapon 3" (357) and "Batman Returns" (368) released in the same period.

However, despite the seemingly blockbuster blockbusters in the United States at the UK box office market in October this year, with films such as "Alien 3", "Lethal Weapon 3", "Instinct" and "Batman Returns" that hit big hits in North America, "Instinct" was close to the end when "League of Assassins" was released, and this one achieved 216 in the UK on its first day of release. 960,000 pounds at the box office, but because of the subject matter by the local media, film critics and education in the UK criticized it, as of early October, it has been released in the UK for more than three weeks at the box office of 13.72 million pounds, but the attendance rate has fallen to less than 16%, and when "League of Assassins" was released only three days later, it was drawn with a final box office of 15.84 million pounds, second only to "The Ultimate Bodyguard" 17 million pounds, temporarily ranking second in the annual British box office list.

"Alien 3", which he thought would have a strong impact on "League of Assassins", has tragically become the most unlucky American movie released in the UK this year, and there is no one. Released five days earlier than League of Assassins, Alien 3 hit 162 on its first day of release in the UK. The impressive £290,000 box office was bad because of the PR of the US publisher, which gave it a rating of '12 or for adults) rather than '15' (for 15 and adults) as in League of Assassins.

It would have been nice if nothing had happened in normal times, but when "Alien 3" was screened in Birmingham, a girl named 'Uniti Caroline', who had just turned 12, was so scared that she had to be sent to a psychiatrist, and was diagnosed with a strict zoophobia. A series of bad things followed by this tragic film, first "Uniti Caroline's parents also sued the screening theater, the distribution company and "Alien 3" in court, and then the local judiciary in Birmingham immediately accepted the case and applied to the House of Representatives to completely stop the screening of "Alien 3" in the UK.

In the 'pound case' not long ago, the U.S. government intervened in the British Ministry of Justice and intelligence agencies to track down the international fast money led by Soros, exposing that the U.S. government also played an extremely disgraceful role in this incident, which made the two governments now in an embarrassing diplomatic period of cold confrontation.

The British judiciary ordered theaters in England and Wales to immediately terminate the screening of "Alien 3" at the fastest speed in history, despite the protests of the United States, and even the relatively independent Scotland and Northern Ireland regions made a notice that they would meet the minimum screening for a week later, so that the originally good "Alien 3" was no longer a threat to "League of Assassins", and finally had to get 657. The 20,000 pounds box office was painted after the tragedy.

"Batman Returns" also staged a drama that Media Asia and even everyone did not understand, and "League of Assassins" was released three days earlier, although it got 277 in the UK on the first day. The 470,000 pounds box office sensation in Europe and the United States, however, due to high expectations and the fact that British audiences at this time were far less interested in superhero films than Americans. As a result, the box office of "Batman Returns" quickly plummeted to less than £2 million on the second day, and to less than £1.5 million on the third day.

On the first day of the release of "League of Assassins", the box office plummeted again to only 830,000 pounds under its impact, and the attendance rate also plummeted, which made the distributors and theaters who once thought that it could reproduce the 'American-style glory' in the UK were all dumbfounded, and the British media ridiculed its 'advertising is far more interesting than the movie', it is worth mentioning that the distributor has revealed that it is overwhelming publicity in the UK, covering almost all mainstream TV stations in the UK, The film spent nearly $4 million on advertising by the media and station stops, and at the current box office, it is clear that unless a videotape is released, it will not even be able to recoup the advertising investment unless the video is released.

On the other hand, "League of Assassins", because of many novel ideas and innovation and high quality that are completely different from many current action blockbusters, especially the super assassin duel in the movie that jumps over a high-rise building dozens of meters away, the 'curved bullet that can turn', and the cool 1V gun fighting skills of more than a dozen people, have all been praised by the British audience and the media. Several American blockbusters released in the same month were all unsuccessful, which made many British theater companies turn around and throw themselves into the arms of Media Asia, as more and more theaters began to schedule films for "League of Assassins".

By the end of the second week of its release, "League of Assassins" easily exceeded 13 million pounds at the domestic box office in the UK, not only firmly sitting on the top spot of the UK box office list in October, but also throwing off the second-place "Batman Returns" by nearly 4 million pounds, so that "Lethal Weapon 3", which was released half a month late, could only sigh with joy, and at the same time, it also successfully surpassed the 10.98 million box office "Beauty and the Beast", and ferociously won the fifth place in the UK box office list this year.

And the fourth place above it is already the painting "Captain Hook", this film only got 13.69 million pounds at the box office in the UK when it was released at the beginning of the year, with the current attendance and gold absorption ability of "League of Assassins" has not decreased much, it is only a matter of one or two days to surpass "Captain Hook", and even the second place of "Instinct", which has just arrived at the beginning of the month, has already become a thing of "League of Assassins" in the eyes of the media.

What makes countless Hong Kong and even British media excited and curious is whether it will be able to break the 17 million pounds total box office of "The Ultimate Bodyguard", which has been the box office champion of the year for four months, and become the new British box office champion of the year. It is said that there is a boring bookmaker in the UK who opened a separate gambling project for this purpose, and even received 17,000 pounds in just one week, which caused a heated discussion in the media in Hong Kong.

The astonishing ability of "League of Assassins" to attract money has also been on full display in the mainland, and since its release on the mainland, although the version has been cut by the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television with a butcher's knife, it is slightly incomplete. However, Lin Xiaozhi, who has taken the high-level route, has established a direct communication channel with radio and television in the past few years, so after public relations, radio and television can still be regarded as saving face, but it only cut some of the protagonist's ex-girlfriends in the movie, such as stealing people, bullets and direct headshots, and other places that are too romantic and bloody, but it does not affect the integrity of the plot too much.

After more than a decade of reform and opening up, the mainland's economy in the 90s has significantly increased its people's income compared with that at the end of the 70s, especially in the coastal areas and some provincial capitals in the interior. What's more, since Hong Kong films went north last year, Media Asia has been leading and promoting excellent Hong Kong film works, and after frantically throwing out tens of millions of yuan in publicity, "League of Assassins" quickly caused a sensation in the mainland once it was screened. Compared with last year's "Huang Feihong 1" and "Huang Feihong 2" screened in the first half of this year, it is even better, and it easily achieved a box office of more than 37 million yuan in the mainland after only half a month of screening, which shocked the mainland film industry.

Under the impetus of its ally Beiying, the most authoritative "People's Daily" on the mainland even devoted a considerable amount of space to the second page of a certain edition in mid-to-late October to report on this matter, and even a commentator's article fully affirmed this: "...... To promote modernization and reform in an all-round way, we should not only show that we will make the people richer economically and that the people will not lack food and clothing, but also that we should show that we will be spiritually rich. For a long time, China has only used film and television as a tool for policy propaganda, guiding the people, and cultivating patriotic sentiments, and has ignored the people's yearning for new things, more knowledge, and the unknown. With the efforts of Hong Kong filmmakers, in recent years, one after another such excellent film works have been produced, such as "Wong Fei Hung", "Truant Dragon", "League of Assassins", etc., which can not only entertain the public, but also invisibly enhance the people's patriotic sentiment and national pride. We mainland filmmakers still need to strengthen and learn from this point......"

For the first trial of "League of Assassins" was released simultaneously in many other cities, it was a great success, especially in foreign markets such as the mainland, Japan, and South Korea, which achieved amazing box office, and even in the United Kingdom, "League of Assassins" beat many European and American movies to dominate the British box office charts in October, which made people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan more amazed and excited. After all, it is definitely the first time that a Hong Kong film can achieve such a terrifying box office in Europe.

A lot of feedback was sent back to Hong Kong, which not only caused the explosive rise of Media Asia Group's shares, but also caused the media to even the main page to be invaded by film-related reports for a while, and many overseas distributors took the initiative to offer all kinds of lucrative conditions in the hope of introducing this successful commercial blockbuster to the domestic market for screening.

Although the outside world is irritable and lively, Lin Xiaozhi can't manage it so much at this time, and he has been staying in the hospital almost all the time recently, because his son is about to be born!
