Chapter 541 The North American box office exceeded 100 million US dollars
On this day, many people's eyes were focused on the box office of the first day of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King".
Although the film's previous good U.S. premiere reputation is a guarantee, everyone is still worried about the film's North American box office.
Because after all, this is different from any movie that Luo Mo has gotten a terrible foreign box office in the past.
Chinese fans are particularly concerned about the American performance of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", because most of them also know a little bit of Luo Mo's painstaking efforts - he is trying his best to make "Di Renjie" release in the whole world, just to open the door to Chinese series abroad.
Luo Mo himself said this, and everyone believes it.
Luo Mo himself is also a little worried, after all, this film, he really wants it to enter the foreign market, and can enter a wedge of the Chinese series of movies in the American market.
Although the previous reputation was very good, the real test was still in the box office of Zhou Zhang, so Luo Mo was not completely confident.
Tsui Hark was even more nervous......
If it was in the past, as long as "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" can be released in the United States, this is already a big victory in itself, and he won't care too much about how much box office the movie can win in North America after this big victory, and what will happen to the box office on the first day...... But now it's different, Tsui Hark has tasted the sweetness of the $300 million box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" in Asia, and he has a sense of gain and loss for the film's next box office in the United States.
For Warner, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is also a test for more in-depth cooperation, even if the relationship between Luo Mo and Warner is already quite good, but for other types of films other than those directed by him, Warner still has to wait to see the final performance of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" before deciding whether to give them more opportunities.
In such a situation, the burden on Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King is not light.
After returning from the premiere of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", Luo Mo returned to the crew of "Superman vs. Batman" and continued to shoot this film that required Luo Mo's great attention. But on the first day of the official release of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", Luo Mo also temporarily stopped what he was doing, but wanted to pay attention to the box office of the first day of this film for the first time.
"Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" was officially released in the United States on Friday, earning $24.5 million at the first-day box office from 3,014 movie theaters!
When he saw such a first-day box office, Luo Mo's heart breathed a big sigh of relief, it seems that his worries have not happened, but the reality has exceeded his expectations.
Previously, they set a minimum target of $15 million for "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", as long as it can exceed this line, it will be qualified, and Warner also agrees with this statement......
But whether it is Warner or Luo Mo, they never thought that the box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" could reach a terrifying $24.5 million on the first day, and it almost broke through $25 million!
Many people who heard this number had to sigh with emotion, saying that with Luo Mo's films, this box office is magical......
Warner reacquainted himself with Luo Mo's appeal at this time.
In fact, a large part of the $24.5 million box office on the first day of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" came from Luo Mo, and Americans can't wait to see Luo Mo show off his skills and see him show his own Chinese kung fu......
This film has a high evaluation and a wide range of evaluations, coupled with the fact that it has reawakened everyone's enthusiasm for Chinese-language costume action movies, so the box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has risen again and again, reaching an unexpected number.
Moreover, after the first day of viewing, the American audience has a strong interest in this film, and they also have a stronger interest in Chinese costume action movies, this film is so much to their taste, using 3D effects to show the wonderful fight scenes, so that many American audiences are enthusiastic to watch, and they want to participate in that kind of fierce battle......
Everyone has also seen Luo Mo's skills, and they are also full of praise, and they have an extra layer of understanding of Luo Mo.
And the film is not only as simple as excellent visual effects and fighting effects, in fact, after the film has been edited, it can also arouse the enthusiasm of Americans in terms of plot, so the popularity of this film remains high after the official release on the first day......
The box office of $24.5 million on the first day is already very surprising, but everyone knows that this matter is not over yet, because after the first day of watching the movie, more and more Americans who want to watch "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" have become more and more under the influence of this film.
It is conceivable that this weekend, the box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" will surprise everyone.
"After watching this movie, I realized that the evaluation of "Variety" still has a lot of fan evaluations, which is not groundless, this is indeed a movie that makes people feel quite big."
"An epic martial arts masterpiece!"
"Chinese martial arts movies are being revived, not to mention, director Luo Mo has become a strong detective in it this time, everyone can clearly see Luo Mo's good skills in it, and what kind of tension the Chinese costume action movies have with 3D effects."
…… Under such an unprecedented wave of praise, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has attracted more and more attention in the United States.
In fact, the praise of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" in the United States is not too surprising.
"The Hangover 2" received bad reviews in the whole world because everyone's expectations for Luo Mo were too high...... And "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is starring Luo Mo, Luo Mo as an action superstar, and a 3D martial arts masterpiece, which has never been seen before.
As a selling point, Luo Mo of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" played very excitingly, the 3D effect is better than many Hollywood blockbusters, and the action is also particularly beautiful, and the American version of the movie, which has been streamlined in terms of plot, is very attractive to Americans, and is a standard Hollywood blockbuster, but it is more eye-catching and more attractive to people to sink into. Therefore, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has met everyone's expectations, and even exceeded them, so of course everyone thinks this movie is good.
"The Hangover 2" is not expected because everyone thinks that Luo Mo can use this film to complete the breakthrough and innovation in the framework of "The Hangover", and get a new story...... But Luo Mo just uses old bottles of old wine, so it is reasonable that "The Hangover 2" has caused everyone's dissatisfaction.
The current high reputation of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" can definitely be transformed into a high box office.
The second day of the official release of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" in North America was Saturday, and at the end of this day, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" won a total of 26.21 million US dollars at the box office, which was more than the box office on the first day, and on Sunday on the third day, it cut down 20.54 million box office, and after a weekend, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has won a box office of 71.25 million US dollars!
This box office figure is jaw-dropping.
$70 million in three days?
As far as the work directed by Luo Mo is concerned, this data will not be outrageous to be frightening, but as a Chinese-language action movie starring Luo Mo, this data is particularly intriguing......
Tsui Hark was even more happy, when did the movie he directed get such a high box office in the United States?
The United States deserves to be the largest box office in the world, and in just three days, it has hit such a high box office, which is equivalent to nearly 500 million yuan......
"Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has wandered around the United States casually, and the box office is so terrifying!
Of course, Tsui Hark also knew that if there was no Luo Mo, let alone a weekend box office of 70 million US dollars, he would not dare to think of a total box office of 7 million US dollars.
I have to say that people are really different.
However, after the glory of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" in the first three days, the attendance rate on Sunday has decreased a lot, after all, everyone's explosive power for this film is mainly concentrated at the beginning, and the stamina after that will not be too strong.
After the start of the second week, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" received a total of 37.04 million US dollars at the box office in a week, and there was a big dive at the box office, because of the impact of new films, and the reason why most of the expectations of this movie are now hollowed out and the fans are not very strong.
But even so, the North American box office of the movie has exceeded 100 million US dollars, becoming the fifth Chinese film to exceed 100 million US dollars at the North American box office.
By the third week, the film had earned a total of $14.7 million at the weekly box office, and there should be no hope of breaking 1 at the total box office. $500 million.
After all, it is not the work of director Luo Mo, and the movie is mainly a fast food film, and it will not have as strong stamina as "Gravity" and the like.
Therefore, it is possible to get 1. $500 million is a good deal.
For Tsui Hark, this is a unimaginable number, such a high box office coupled with everyone's good reputation also provides a solid foundation for the filming of the third and fourth parts of "Di Renjie". When he first decided to start filming "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", Tsui Hark considered many possibilities and felt that there would definitely be many difficulties and obstacles to make this into a series to continue, but now, the cumulative global box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has reached more than 400 million US dollars, which is definitely rare among Chinese films, and the total box office is only lower than Luo Mo's perverted Chinese films......
This gave him a lot of confidence......
But he also knew that in order to make this series continue, the most important thing is to let Luo Mo serve as Di Renjie all the time, in that case, this does have the hope of making a brand series like 007.
He believes that Luo Mo will agree, Luo Mo has now been committed to the major event of Chinese films going out, and is constantly trying to broaden foreign channels for Chinese films and let good movies go abroad.
He also said at the time that he would support the series "Di Renjie" well......
Therefore, there should be no problem on Luo Mo's side.
Luo Mo went back to shoot "Superman vs. Batman" after the premiere of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" was completed, and after "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" was released for three weeks, the live-action shooting of Luo Mo's "Superman vs. Batman" has also entered the advanced stage.
PS: I saw the book review...... Alas, it may be that I have been too slack lately, and what I write will be watery.
It's not good to guarantee too much, but I'll definitely pay attention and try to try as much as I can.
