Stephen Zhao returned to China, but the box office miracle staged by "Source Code" continued, especially in China, after "News Network" inserted a lever, the topic caused by "Source Code" became hotter and hotter, hot and hot, and the box office did not decrease but increased, and on July 16, it flew against the trend and brushed out a box office of 130 million!

When the news broke, no one was shocked, but took it for granted.

"News Network" advertises a film, and the box office of this film can't break 100 million the next day, how bad does this film have to be?

Not to mention breaking 100 million, even if it breaks 200 million, no one will find it unusual.

From July 7th to July 13th, it was the first week of simultaneous release of "Source Code" in Asia, and the box office accumulated 1.5 billion Chinese dollars; In the United States, after brushing out 46.3 million US dollars in 6 days, on the 7th day, due to the relationship on Monday, the box office plummeted, but it also won 5.2 million US dollars, and according to statistics, the box office of "Source Code" in the first week of American imperialism was 51.5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 315.51 million Chinese dollars. In other words, in just one week, "Source Code" swiped an astonishing box office of 1,815.51 million Huaxia coins!

The last "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" was screened in Asia for more than a month, and the final box office was only a little more than 2.1 billion Chinese dollars.

But now, "Source Code" has won more than 1.8 billion in just one week!

What does this mean?

This means that "Source Code" is about to break the box office record set by "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" and become the No. 1 box office film in the history of Chinese films!

How long has it been since the two movies were released?

However, this news did not surprise the Chinese people, because Stephen Zhao is the "box office record terminator", as long as Stephen Zhao makes a movie, the box office of the movie will continue to break records. Then set a new historical record, and the cycle repeats itself, upwards, and never ends!

God-like star master, this is definitely a joke for people in other countries, but for Chinese people. This sentence is by no means a joke, but a big truth!

July 14 is the first day of the second week of "Source Code's release in Asia".

Starting on July 17, it is the day when the second week of "Source Code" was released in the United States.

The two places are out of sync, but it doesn't stop people from looking forward to what kind of box office results "Source Code" can achieve in these places.

At this time, with the help of the sensational effect of the box office hit in the United States, Stephen Zhao began to cooperate with Han Minzhong to push "Source Code" to be released in Europe, and also adopted the mode of account sharing. One purpose is to brush up on the box office, and the other purpose is to exercise the company's ability to distribute films globally.

Relatively speaking. The latter purpose is the main one.

I have to say that "Source Code" has continuously set off a box office frenzy in Asia and the United States, which has made European filmmakers and distributors have a strong interest in "Source Code".

In just one week, "Source Code" was finalized for release in Europe. Of course, these are all later stories, and we will have to wait until next year to release them.

At the start of the second week, the box office of "Source Code" inevitably began to drop significantly, although not by a plunge. But it also reached about 30%. According to comprehensive statistics, the box office in Asia has swiped 1.1 billion. Something to celebrate. In all countries and regions in Asia that have been released, "Source Code" is still the weekly box office champion. In the United States, the box office fell even more, reaching 50%, so that in the second week, it only got more than 25 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 153 million Chinese dollars!

It's magical. "Source Code" still dominates the weekly box office.

When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar!

At this time, the box office is no longer important, the important thing is that this is the first Chinese-language film to become the box office champion of the American Emperor Week for two consecutive weeks!

Those who support Source Code are naturally ecstatic. They all shouted that this is a triumph of film quality!

The neutral and opposing people were naturally speechless, and then said sourly: "Isn't it because there are no blockbusters released in the same period that "Source Code" is cheap? This is called no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king! ”

In two weeks, the box office of "Source Code" in Asia and the United States has reached 3,068.52 billion, equivalent to more than 500 million US dollars!

It's a record-breaking!

With ease and no difficulty, when everyone was caught off guard, "Source Code" broke the record for the highest box office of a Chinese film and became the new box office record holder.

How much the final box office will be, many people are already speculating.

There is no need to think about breaking $1 billion, unless the next two weeks replicate the box office results of these two weeks, but everyone knows that this is impossible, unless it is the kind of god film that has been released for two or three months in a row, and the theater companies still have to make money, such as the shipwreck film "Titanic" in the previous life, and this has to be allowed by the policy.

How much can the final box office of a movie be released, the release time is a very important factor, and some films are released for a month, two months, or even three months, and the box office is naturally very high; But some films are released for a week, or even two or three days, and it is really a ghost to be able to brush up on the high box office. What's the difference? Just make money in the theater business!

When you release a film, the attendance rate is very poor, and the theater operators are going to lose money, so they are not willing to show your film. Those "god films" that have been released for two or three months are willing to be screened all the time because of the good attendance rate and the fact that theater operators have to make money.

Of course, there is a policy factor in this, if the box office of a film is too fierce and other films are suppressed too much, a policy will be placed above to force the painting, in order to maintain the healthy development of the film industry. Generally speaking, domestic films will not have such restrictions when they are released in their home country, but they can apply for an extension of the release period in order to generate more box office. Domestic films are released in other countries, so you have to be careful of this kind of policy, sometimes, your film has not yet expired, and there are still more than ten days to be released, but because the box office is too fierce, it will be suppressed by policies and forced to paint.

This kind of brutal behavior of using policies to force the film to be drawn has been done by every country. China has done it, the US imperialists have done it, and the Japanese country has done it...... But none of them have done much with the stick country!

The eighties and nineties of the last century. Xiangjiang movies are popular all over the world, and Bangziguo often does this, and from time to time let those Xiangjiang films that are very strong at the box office be painted in advance.

"Although there are still Europe and other countries that have not been released, the world's two largest box offices, US imperialism and Huaxia, have been squeezed dry, and these countries have contributed 100 million US dollars. In this way, the total global box office of "Source Code" should be around $700 million to $800 million! ”

"Xing Ye is getting more and more high-end, and the atmosphere is more and more high-grade. The box office of the movie is more fierce than the other, I thought that the box office of more than 300 million US dollars set by "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" could be maintained for a year or two, but I didn't expect that it was not kept for half a year, and it was directly exploded by "Source Code", and it was the kind that exploded, and it was doubled! ”

"Haha...... What does this mean? This shows that the film industry in China is becoming more and more developed! ”

"Well-developed fart, apart from Xingye, who else in Huaxia can make movies with such a fierce box office? Don't tell me about Hollywood movies made by Chinese directors, they don't count. That's just a Hollywood variant, not a Chinese film. ”

"Heaven does not give birth to a star, eternity is like a long night! But after giving birth to Xingye, where do you put the faces of other Chinese filmmakers? ”

"Many people have the illusion that the success of Xingye's movies is equal to the success of Chinese films, but in fact, no, Xingye is just a special case, and it does not have replication. Xing Ye makes movies. relies on his amazing talent, but other Chinese filmmakers don't have it. Therefore, the strength of the Chinese film industry has not been significantly improved. This is the same as our country's sports, every Olympic Games, Winter Games, and Asian Games are the first in the total number of gold medals, but no one thinks that we are a sports power, because athletes are a special case, and the physical fitness of other Chinese people is still very reluctant. ”

……

In the third week, the box office continued to fall sharply. Compared with the first week, the drop once reached 70%.

Taking the mainland of China as an example, the box office this week only got 180 million, which was 10 million lower than the single-day box office on the second day of release!

However, no one regrets it. On the contrary, I was shocked: "Can you still get nearly 200 million box office?" ”

The box office of 180 million is a regrettable figure for the ferocious performance of "Source Code" in the first week, but if you think about it, this is the result of the third week of release, this result is really a bit amazing!

In China, many films gritted their teeth and failed to get more than 100 million box office, and 99% of the films did not have a total box office of more than 10 million in the third week of release.

But now, Source Code is easily available.

Three weeks later, the cumulative box office in mainland China reached 1.5 billion, setting a new record for the highest box office of Chinese films!

Including the rest of Asia and the U.S. imperialist market, the total box office of "Source Code" in the third week was 468 million, of which the U.S. imperialist market contributed only 7 million U.S. dollars, a decline of 72%.

Calculate the total account again, "Source Code" was released for three weeks, and the box office accumulated 3.53652 billion!

By this time, Source Code's box office in Asia and in the United States had been largely drained. Therefore, cinema operators in many regions and countries in Asia have begun to draw "Source Code", and although countries such as Huaxia, Waguo, Bangzi Country, and US Imperialism are still showing it, they have reduced the number of screens screened, and at the same time, the number of screenings has been greatly reduced.

Stephen Zhao and Red Star Media didn't care, because they had already made a lot of money, and they had more important things to do, one was to push "Source Code" to the secondary market for screening, and the other was to expand the copyright.

It's just a pity that the box office performance of "Source Code" in the United States is not ordinary weird, looking at the ferocious decline, the final box office may not reach 100 million US dollars!

The secondary screening market, that is, the mainstream commercial cinema chain, the distribution and projection units above the county level, including the screening business units, cinemas, and theaters that have not participated in the cinema chain; Then there are the non-operating screening units and mobile screenings within enterprises and institutions. Although it seems inconspicuous, it can't stand the large number of these units. When the sand gathers into a tower, the mosquito leg will also become a big piece of chicken.

Needless to say, DVD is the bulk of it, and then there are TV stations, online video websites, etc., which are frequent customers who buy films.

On August 6, "Source Code" was fully drawn, not only in all Asian countries and regions, but also in the United States.

The two main box offices, the mainland of China swiped out a box office of 1.53 billion, and the American emperor was unexpectedly weird, and the final box office did not break 100 million US dollars, only 86 million US dollars, because the fourth week was only 2.5 million US dollars.

In the end, the box office of "Source Code" was fixed at 3.6 billion! (To be continued......)
