Chapter 390: Breaking a Billion
"Break a billion, break a billion."
"Support "World of Warcraft", it must break one billion."
"World of Warcraft is a fantasy classic, and The Lord of the Rings is a thing of the past."
Blizzard has urgently updated "World of Warcraft" and added new activities to help the "World of Warcraft" movie break one billion journey.
"Watch a movie, send some cards."
"Watch a movie, smoke a mount."
"Watch a movie and get double the experience."
"League of Legends" is directly out of the "World of Warcraft" skin.
"Not for sale, as long as you watch "World of Warcraft", you are eligible to draw "World of Warcraft" skins, distinguished skins, and share them with you."
"Crazy."
"I want to see it, I want to see it, but if I don't look at it, it's still human?"
"Looking forward to the skin, not for sale, Nima, I'm going to buy a ticket, no matter what, I must draw this skin, the fifteen-chapter movie is ready, and I'll give it away."
Soon, there was a long queue in theaters again, and some of them were fans of "World of Warcraft" who wanted to help "World of Warcraft" break a billion.
Some are fans of the game of "World of Warcraft", who simply bought tickets to avoid wasting tickets, and some are fans of "League of Legends" who came to smoke skins, but in any case, the theater is full again, and the journey of "World of Warcraft" to break one billion will be smoother.
"Crazy."
The press corps of the ABC radio company in the United States came to the door of the theater to interview the fans, and they were stunned when they saw the number of fans.
"Is this still a movie about to be drawn?"
Soon, the reporter caught a fan. "Are you here to see World of Warcraft?"
"Of course, this is the second time I've watched it, just to make "World of Warcraft" break a billion box office."
"What about you?"
"Came for the lottery. Out-of-print skins, I must have them. ”
"Are you also from the lottery?"
"No, I'm here for the mount."
Soon, the box office of "World of Warcraft" was freshly released, and the box office exceeded 10 million in a single day, almost comparable to the newly released movies.
"Universal Pictures, Blizzard, Gold Group have gone completely insane."
The Los Angeles Times couldn't help but complain, "In order to boost the box office." "World of Warcraft" and "League of Legends" are fully active, and on the Internet, TV stations are all promoting "World of Warcraft". The author estimates that the newly added box office will certainly not be enough for their promotional expenses. ”
"Is the name of the billion box office so important?"
Does it matter?
Of course important, more than a billion and nine hundred million are two levels of movies. And for the sequel. The better the results of the previous work, the more attention will be paid to the later sequels.
If it weren't for the sequel, they wouldn't have spent such a big amount of money on publicity at all.
The next day, "World of Warcraft" still grossed tens of millions of dollars around the world, and at this time, it was still $40 million short of "World of Warcraft" breaking $1 billion.
"There are only 40 million left, brothers from China and the United States, work hard."
"This is an honor that belongs to all fans and fans of World of Warcraft and League of Legends, please help me."
"No, I can't. I'll go and see it again, anyway. Support "World of Warcraft" to break one billion. ”
"Chartered, chartered, I chartered, for the World of Warcraft skin, I gave it out to form a gold medal theater, everyone come and see, it's free."
On the Internet, movie fans and game fans gradually became excited.
At this point, there are basically no new fans entering the market, they have seen everything that should be watched, and they will not watch anything that should not be watched, and they are all supported by fans and game fans.
On the third day, the box office of "World of Warcraft" fell to 8 million, while the momentum of "War of the Worlds" weakened, and "Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadow" officially debuted, and it won the global film market with a global box office of $54 million on the first day.
All of them released at the same time as "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow" have become cannon fodder, including new films.
"The success of "Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" will also reinvigorate the glory of the "Batman" series, and we at Time Warner have always believed that "Batman" should not end on the screen."
In an interview with reporters, the president of Time Warner said in high spirits that at this time, they no longer have the mentality of retreating again and again.
World of Warcraft is still dying, War of the Worlds has basically come to an end, and it's time for Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadows.
The box office of breaking 100 million in a single week is enough for them to resurrect the entire Batman series, and there may be surprises.
Under the impact of "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow", the life of "World of Warcraft" has become more and more difficult, and the box office of less than 5 million in a single day seems to declare that the struggle of "World of Warcraft" is useless.
In Huaxia, Wanda directly withdrew "World of Warcraft" and replaced it with "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow", but the person in charge of the Gold Medal Cinema was directly scolded by Li Lin when he applied to Li Lin for whether to get off "World of Warcraft" and replace it with the more profitable "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow".
"Why don't you support your own films? North America hasn't been released yet, what are we anxious about? "Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" does make money, but compared to the group's strategy, that money can be completely ignored. ”
The benefits of forming your own cinema are vividly displayed at this time.
If there is no gold medal theater, "World of Warcraft" is basically announced to be fully painted in China, but the gold medal theater is their theater chain, no matter how hot "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow" is, it has to give way.
"Poor World of Warcraft, it seems that the journey to breaking a billion can come to an end." The New York Times gloated: "If it hadn't broken a billion, "World of Warcraft" would undoubtedly be the big winner this year, "War of the Worlds", "Madagascar", and the popular "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadow" all fell under the horror box office of "World of Warcraft." ”
"But some people are not satisfied, and they still want to break one billion, but now they have been slapped in the face, and the original big winner has become a big loser, this joke is estimated to follow Universal Movies for the rest of his life."
"Billion, it's not so easy to break."
"Los Angeles Times" also made a special statement to laugh at Universal Movies, "There are only a few steps to break a billion movies, "The Lord of the Rings", "Titanic". ”
"Although "World of Warcraft" is excellent, there is still a lot of gap with "The Lord of the Rings", if you want to break one billion, wake up!"
Back then, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy slapped many media in the face when everyone was not optimistic. When Jackson's new work is not as good as the box office of "The Lord of the Rings", the major media will ridicule Peter fiercely. Jackson, called Peter. Jackson has run out of talents, called Peter. Jackson will always keep the name of "The Lord of the Rings".
Now Peter. Jackson wanted to fight back, how could they possibly let him get his wish.
"The end of arrogance is to be slapped in the face."
"One billion is not something you want to break, you can break it if you want to."
"If you want to break a billion, trouble Peter. Jackson buys a pillow and gets a good night's sleep, maybe in a dream you can break a billion, well, I wish you a good dream. ”
On the fifth day, the global box office of "World of Warcraft" just reached 3 million, and the theater chain announced a reduction in the number at one time.
On the sixth day, the global box office of "World of Warcraft" reached 2 million, and at this time it was still 23 million short of the billion-dollar mark, and Universal Pictures announced an urgent extension of the release time.
Immediately, many media scolded her mother.
"Universal Movies is shameless, this is piling up the box office with theaters."
"I despise Universal Films, the conspiracy has been exhausted, it is clear that the momentum has been exhausted, and it still occupies the theater chain and does not let go, crowding out other films, I call on the court to sue Universal Films for anti-monopoly crimes."
"It's malicious competition."
No matter what the outside world says, Universal Movies is just indifferent, whether you call me domineering or a monopoly, I will do it anyway, as for whether to sue or not, that's a matter of later.
And it's not so easy to sue Universal Movies.
Lawyers in the United States are well-known to be powerful, but the fees are also notoriously high, and it is normal for a lawsuit to cost millions of dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars, and some large companies directly fight lawsuits between them for several years, spending more than 100 million yuan.
Of course, if you don't want to spend money, you can hire a free lawyer to help you fight the case, but then you will have to think about losing the case.
Even if you have conclusive evidence, you may lose the case.
It's okay for the media to let their mouth go to court, but if they really let them go to court, they won't do it.
Under the pressure of Universal Movies, several theaters had to grit their teeth and come up with some not-so-good theaters for "World of Warcraft".
On the seventh day, World of Warcraft grossed $1.7 million worldwide, and on the eighth day, it grossed $1.6 million worldwide.
Day 9 & 10......
The single-day box office continues to decline, but the total box office continues to pull in.
Finally, on the eighteenth day, the global box office of "World of Warcraft" reached 999.6 million.
"The last four hundred thousand."
"Brothers and sisters, the last 400,000, the last day, the past is a new world."
"Charter, charter, must charter, beg to survive the last day."
Whoop!
Fans are shouting, they feel their blood boiling, seeing that a billion is about to break, and all fans and game fans share the honor and disgrace.
On Yahoo and Sina, there is a huge countdown.
On the last day, whether it can win the global box office of 400,000 and whether it can exceed one billion depends on today.
"Rush, 400,000, it must be broken."
"Break 400,000, break 1 billion box office, and create a new World of Warcraft."
"World of Warcraft" helped the "World of Warcraft" movie break the box office of one billion, as long as it is broken, the global "World of Warcraft" is free for a month."
"League of Legends supports "World of Warcraft" to break one billion, as long as it is broken, "League of Legends" will give any account a free skin for one year." (To be continued......)
