Chapter 1247: The Reason (Yesterday's)
In the first three days of its release, the first weekend, "The Silence of the Lambs" earned 360 million at the box office in China and more than 14 million in North America.
Compared with "Han Bo and Lingshi", it is really a bit shabby.
However, whether it is Sun Peng or Lin Lin, and the producers are all satisfied with this. Because they all know that because of the limitations of the subject matter, it is impossible to expect this movie to have a box office explosion if it comes up, with a box office of more than 300 million in China, most of which are contributed by Lao Bai's fans.
Even if you are a fan of Lao Bai, I'm afraid there won't be too many people who like thrillers.
So the global box office of more than 80 million in the first weekend can be said to be unexpected by many people. Because if you remove the local box office in China, the overseas box office also has 30 million US dollars, which is quite a good performance.
And......
"The reputation of the United States is really similar to that of China!"
Lin Lin, who temporarily flew to Los Angeles for promotion, said excitedly on the phone: "So although the box office results of the first weekend are average, and they can be regarded as the weekend champions with a very low box office in the year, everyone is very optimistic about the follow-up trend of "The Silence of the Lambs", and they all think that more than 60 million US dollars is no problem, and if it goes well, it can even reach 80 million ......."
For Lin Lin, this is an unprecedented success!
It is normal for the domestic box office to be high, after all, with the name of Lao Bai, it is the guarantee of the box office in China! But in North America, although Laobai is also very famous, it is far from the level in China, and it is not the box office that relies on special effects and action scenes like "League of Assassins" and "The Matrix", "The Silence of the Lambs" relies purely on the plot, and it really makes Lin Lin excited to get such results in North America.
"Really? That's great! ”
Blinking, Sun Peng smiled.
Sixty million......
In fact, even if it can reach 80 million in the end, it is very average in Sun Peng's opinion. After all, "The Silence of the Lambs" won the weekend box office five times on Earth, and finally the North American box office exceeded 130 million - that was in North America in 1991! And this version of "The Silence of the Lambs", except for Lin Lin, the female lead, most of the others are Hollywood people, and as a result, in this era of inflation, they can only get 80 million?
Judy? Foster's role, is it really that big?
So after taking a deep breath, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Linlin, why don't you hurry back to China and hurry up in China before joining the group!" It seems that the domestic box office can casually surpass North America by one or two times, and there is a hairy meaning to stay there? ”
"Ahem, what's going to do that?!"
After a while, Lin Lin said angrily: "Naturally, there are distribution companies staring at the domestic side, and I have already participated in the premiere, but the North American side ......."
"Aren't there more people staring at North America?"
Without waiting for his cousin to finish speaking, Sun Peng shook his head and said, "Okay, you can do it yourself, I still have some things here, so I won't chat with you." ”
After talking to his cousin for a few more words, Sun Peng hung up the phone.
casually threw his mobile phone on the sofa, he was really a little disappointed in his heart - whether it was Lin Lin, Chen Feifei and Luo Cheng, of course, it was more obvious that Liang Ren, the big brother in the film industry, after reaching a certain level, everyone seemed to pay more attention to the overseas market, especially in North America.
Therefore, Liang Ren will always choose to cooperate with Hollywood, and Chen Feifei and Luo Cheng's new album will be released first, and they will also give priority to North America and Europe for promotion.
Now that it's Lin Lin, it's the same way.
English albums are fine, but if you want to talk about movies, it's clear that the market in Huaxia is bigger and the box office results are better, isn't it? If Liang Ren and Lin Lin could pay attention to China and run more publicity in China, wouldn't the final box office figures be even better?
"Hehe, is this the role of the right to speak?"
After thinking for a while, Sun Peng shook his head helplessly, and muttered with a wry smile.
The last ten years may be the ten years in which Chinese films have developed the fastest and improved the most. Not only has the investment, technology and creative level of the film skyrocketed, but the box office has grown significantly with the help of the domestic market scale, and now it has accounted for more than 60% of the total domestic box office!
What's even more gratifying is that the overseas market is also growing.
Last year, the total overseas box office of Chinese films has broken through the $3 billion mark, although half of them are contributed by Sun Peng, but it is undeniable that other films can have tens of billions of Chinese coins at the overseas box office.
It's just that compared with other Hollywood, it's not so conspicuous.
China alone can contribute more than 40 billion Chinese coins to Hollywood movies every year, and the world together will exceed 20 billion US dollars, which is several times more than Chinese movies! And this is only the box office results, if you count the peripherals and derivatives, the gap is even greater.
But even so, Sun Peng couldn't understand Liang Ren and Lin Lin's thoughts.
Although Hollywood is higher and sounds taller, isn't everyone's foundation still in China after all? In order to increase the North American box office by one or two million, giving up more potential domestic box office, at least Sun Peng feels that this choice is too right and cost-effective......
……
In the second week of its release, "The Silence of the Lambs" won 490 million at the box office in China, and the total box office reached 850 million in 10 days - this result was far lower than expected; But in North America, the 10-day box office was as high as 47 million, and the trend was quite solid, with the box office falling by only 37 percent in the second weekend.
The expected box office of 80 million is obviously unstoppable.
China & North America...... Compared with Europe and Australia, the reputation of "The Silence of the Lambs" seems to be comparable, and even a little higher in China, but reflected in the follow-up trend of the box office, there is another completely different situation!
Audiences in Europe and the United States obviously like this style very much.
With the spread of word-of-mouth in "The Silence of the Lambs" and the hype of Hannibal's acting skills, those thrill-loving beauties are all drawn to the cinema to experience the feeling of "as if they are going to be eaten".
But in Huaxia, the audience said they didn't like it very much.
For a long time, the market for horror films in China has not been large, at least compared with Europe and the United States, it is still far behind, so the stamina is far from enough!
And......
At the end of the basketball team's activities that day, when everyone was eating together, Hu Tian blinked his eyes and smiled: "There is another point, which is also more crucial, that is, as the theatrical version of "Criminal Minds", there are too many foreigners in "The Silence of the Lambs......"
