As Yi Feiyang expected, since the full release of "Chainsaw", it has caused more and more discussions, especially for the bloody scenes in it, which has become the target of many newspapers and magazines, and many adults have become unwell after watching the movie, let alone minors.

As the saying goes, the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and those low-budget horror films that were affected by the drama "Chainsaw" originally wanted to rely on the summer vacation schedule to carve up a sweet and delicious little cake, but for no reason they were burned by "Chainsaw", and the collective was criticized for being too bloody and violent, and the level limit was even more unclear. It's just that I want to be a bitch and want to set up a torii!

In this situation of polarized reviews, the box office results of the first day of "Chainsaw", Dream Pictures Film Company got it that afternoon, more than 1,500 movie theaters participated in the first week of screening, with an average of 200 seats in each theater, and the ticket price is 6 US dollars a movie ticket, two shows a day, and the overall attendance rate of the two shows last night actually reached 75%, and the total box office of the entire North American premiere day was as high as 2.7 million US dollars!

The single-day box office is approaching the 3 million mark, what if it is a weekly box office? That's not a staggering 20 million?!

This achievement made all the crew members of Dream Pictures' "Chainsaw" cheer, and Yi Feiyang also clenched his fists and shouted a few "YES!" Then there was a sigh of relief.

The production cost of the film is 1.5 million, and the cost of propaganda is 3 million. It is expected that the cost of copy transportation and other expenses will also cost more than 1 million. In other words, the total cost reached more than 5 million. This means that the total box office must collect at least 18 million or more in order to recover the cost after paying taxes. In fact, for Yi Feiyang, the box office data on the premiere day has given him a reassurance, no matter how bad this drama is, it will definitely be able to return to its original cost within a week!

It seems that in order to verify Yi Feiyang's words, the box office results of the movie on the second day confirmed its potential. The first screening on the second day was an incredible 85% attendance; In the second game, it soared to 89%!

This is a restricted R-rated movie!

But if those who are stunned by this know the entire publicity plan before and after "Chainsaw", he will not be surprised, and the viral marketing online and offline is all about reaping the results of the moment.

Most of the audiences who participated in the premiere were loyal horror fans of Yi Feiyang, not to mention the proud achievements of Yi Feiyang's previous horror films, which have become his golden signboard, anyone. As long as you like horror movies, you are eager for his new film.

Therefore. In the whole crazy summer vacation, a chainsaw killer, a father of chainsaws, caused a boiling throughout North America, countless people, countless fans, after the premiere, hearing the evaluation of this play, will have a strong curiosity, and then go to watch the movie with great interest.

Two screenings continued the next day, and the box office was as high as 2.89 million on the same day!

On the third day, in addition to continuing two screenings, additional screenings were added at the strong request of the audience, making the box office of the day directly exceed 3 million!

Day 4, Day 5, Day 6...... The box office is getting higher and higher day by day......

It wasn't until a week after its release that the weekly box office of "Saw Horror" finally came out, and at the same time, the North American box office charts for this week were also newly released.

No. 1 in the North American box office charts, produced by 21st Century Fox Films, and directed by George Lucas, "The Phantom of the Phantom of the Star Wars Prequel", weekly box office: $28.11 million.

No. 2 at the North American box office, produced by Warner Studios and directed by the Wachowski brothers, "The Matrix", weekly box office: $27.65 million.

No. 3 at the North American box office, produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Stephen Sommers, "Tomb Robbery", weekly box office: $25.3 million.

No. 4 at the North American box office, produced by Disney Studios and directed by Chris Buck, "Tarzan of the Apes", weekly box office: $23.5 million.

No. 5 in the North American box office list, produced by Dream Pictures, and directed by Yi Feiyang, "Chainsaw", weekly box office: 21.3 million US dollars.

……

As can be seen from the North American weekly box office chart above, "Star Wars", which has countless fans, once again proved its irresistible charm, and after four weeks of release, it continued to dominate the North American Friday box office with $28.11 million. In fact, after a period of frenzied fund-raising, the film currently has a total box office of $580 million at home and abroad, temporarily being the box office champion among Hollywood blockbusters in 1999, and this achievement is also the best box office revenue in the Star Wars series.

At the same time, the summer dark horse "The Matrix" has accumulated a box office of 299 million US dollars since its release, and is about to exceed 300 million. The media predicts that the box office performance of "The Matrix" will exceed 100 million in three days this weekend. A science fiction film with an investment of only 60 million US dollars, which was not favored by everyone, can cause a sensation in the whole of North America, and the box office is even more powerful, reaching an astonishing 300 million, this miracle makes the Wachowski brothers the most dazzling director star in the North American market, and is known as the genius of geniuses. In particular, the philosophy and connotation contained in the play "The Matrix" have been discussed by many science fiction fans, what matrix, what future technology, what different dimensional world, etc., have become the most popular and fashionable words in the mouths of American teenagers.

"Tomb Robbery" is the first film to be made by Hollywood Universal and director Stephen Sommers. Fisher, Rachel. Vichy, Arnold. Voslo and many other stars joined. The film can be said to be the salted fish turnaround of the great director Stephen, and the box office on the opening day was as high as more than 20 million, which directly shows that the theme of mummy tomb robbery is loved by North American audiences.

Disney Studios' animated film "Tarzan of the Apes" did not start well, opening with only 19.72 million, far less than the previous box office results of their previous productions of "The Lion King" ($20.8 million) and "Pocahonta" (20.7 million).

It is worth mentioning that the horror film "Chainsaw", which has just been released, was released for a week. This Friday, it successfully crossed the $20 million mark. A horror film that is easy to concoct in China. inherited his consistent style of "scaring people to death does not pay for their lives". This time, the theme is bloody and violent scenes, as well as the cruel torture of human nature, which has deeply affected all the audiences who watched this play. However, the reviews of this drama are quite polarized, some say that this is a super-intelligent horror film created by genius, and some people say that this drama is a vulgar film of murder mechanism developed by neurotics. All in all, in the midst of this polarization, the show grossed a staggering $21.3 million in its first week, and currently occupies the fifth place in the North American box office charts. Other than that. It is also important to note that for an R-rated restricted horror film, such box office results are definitely commendable.

Even if Sam Raimi, who was known as the wizard of horror movies, relied on the sequel to "Evil Player" and appeared in 3025 theaters, achieving an average of $8,595 in a single theater and an astonishing box office of 26 million in the opening week. This performance is only ranked tenth among horror films in film history, ranking between the opening week box office of "Halloween 4" of 26.4 million and the opening week box office of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" of 23.5 million. Now "Saw Horror" has only 1,500 companies, and the box office performance has exceeded 20 million. This is an absolute miracle!

As the North American weekend comes to an end. A new week has begun, and new movies have begun to be released, with MGM launching the 19th installment in the James Bond series, "Black Sun Crisis", which screened in 1,800 theaters in its first week; This play is also the third to be played by actor Pierce. Brosnan plays the role of James Lee, a spy for the British Secret Intelligence Service. Bond's films. The film is directed by Michael. Directed by Apter, the story and screenplay are directed by Neil. Purvis, Robert. Wade and Bruce. Created by Philstein, by Michael. G. Wilson and Barbara Brocury served as producers, and the title of the film is a line from the original novel "007: The Queen's Secret Messenger". The box office on the opening day was as high as $4.5 million, which is a testament to the longevity of the Bond film series.

In addition, there are also Sony's high hopes: "Soul Shifting Girl", this movie finally spent 10,000 yuan on production, according to the general default ratio, the publicity cost is at least more than 10 million, plus other expenses, so that it will have to collect at least 80 million or more total box office before it can recover its costs, so it also reached 1600 theaters in the first week. The box office reached $2.4 million on the first day, which can be said to have failed to meet expectations.

Under the squeeze of many blockbusters, "Chainsaw", which was originally arranged as R-rated, has suffered a major blow at the box office, but relying on the fame of Yi Feiyang's horror director and the strong reputation of this drama's polarization, the box office revenue has not decreased, on the contrary, it has risen a lot.

Two weeks after its release, there has been a huge change in the entire North American box office rankings, "Saw Horror" has experienced almost half a month of release, and the word-of-mouth and box office are still strong, and the North American box office weekly rankings are as follows:

No. 1 in the North American box office charts, produced by Warner Studios and directed by the Wachowski brothers, "The Matrix", weekly box office: $27.65 million.

No. 2 at the North American box office, produced by 21st Century Fox Films, and directed by George Lucas, "Star Wars: The Phantom Crisis", weekly box office: $26.21 million.

No. 3 in the North American box office charts, produced by MGM Pictures and directed by Michael Apter, "Black Sun Crisis", weekly box office: $25.34 million.

No. 4 in the North American box office list, produced by Dream Pictures Film Company, and directed by Yi Feiyang, "Chainsaw", weekly box office: 25.16 million US dollars.

No. 5 in the North American box office list, produced by Universal Pictures, "Tomb Robbery" directed by Stephen Sommers, weekly box office: $18.56 million.

……

It can be seen from the North American weekly box office rankings of this issue. Disney's "Tarzan", which was originally in the top five, was squeezed out by MGM's "Black Sun Crisis" and became the Hollywood blockbuster with the biggest box office decline. And Fox's "Star Wars: The Phantom of the Phantom of Star Wars", which was originally the best, began to decline at the box office because it had been released for several weeks, falling to second place. In contrast, the most powerful is the big dark horse movie "The Matrix" shot by Warner! This drama soared into the sky and directly occupied the top of the weekly box office list.

But what surprised everyone even more was the R-rated restricted movie produced by Dream Pictures, this "Chainsaw" not only did not become cannon fodder under the squeeze of many blockbusters, but continued to rise from fifth to fourth place!

Compared with other movies, the investment of tens of millions is often ...... Among them, the investment of 60 million US dollars in "The Matrix" is already considered a small amount...... This horror film, with an investment of only more than 1.5 million US dollars, has reached an astonishing total of more than 47 million US dollars at the box office in North America in two weeks, not only recovering its costs, but also making more than 40 million dollars!

In the third week of its release, "Saw Horror" continued to exert its strength, although it failed to break through the fourth place and rose to third place, but the box office performance was as high as more than 25 million, and the total box office in North America was more than 73 million at this time!

In the fourth week of release, it was also a few days after the summer vacation, and several movies such as "Star Wars" and "Tomb Robbery" ended one after another, and the box office had no chance to rise again; At the same time, Yi Feiyang's "Chainsaw" did not cool down with the extension of time, but became more popular among teenagers, and exploded with amazing appeal. In this case, Paramount and Lionsgate joined forces with Dream Pictures to work together, taking advantage of the vacated movie theaters of major companies to increase the number of theaters, from the original 1,550 to 2,300, making "Chainsaw" jump to the second place at the box office on the fourth Monday, only behind "The Matrix" to explode more than 28 million US dollars, successfully breaking 100 million!!

A low-budget horror film with an investment of $1.8 million, and a horror film that is limited to an R-rated horror film, the box office directly exceeded $100 million four weeks after its release!

It's over 100 million!

Finally broke 100 million!

It seems that there is no horror movie in the hands of Yi Feiyang that does not break 100 million!

This makes many directors of the same kind envious, jealous and hateful!

It makes many film companies jealous of Dream Pictures!

Yes, why does God love this Chinese boy so much, and why does his play always break 100 million? !

But no matter what, the drama "Chainsaw" once again wrote the horror myth of China Yi, and used its proud record to tell everyone that it turns out that R-rated horror films can also be so rebellious! (To be continued......)
