Chapter 200 North America First Week, $188 Million
The first-day box office also scared Li Mu, with $85.31 million, more than $6 million higher than the first-week box office of "Gravity", and it also ranked first in the first box office list of film history and first in the single-day box office list, which can be called terrifying.
Liu Yifei was also frightened by this box office figure, before the movie was released, she had been worried that it would be a bad box office, and the Internet was saying that if she was not Li Mu's girlfriend, then the heroine would never be her turn, she actually recognized this statement, as for the feelings, it may be warm, happy, and touching, women are eager to be favored by their boyfriends or husbands, Li Mu spoiled her, she had nothing to reciprocate, so she had to try her best to meet some of his excessive requirements.
Now the two of them are more and more open, and they usually try all kinds of tricks.
In addition to happiness and touching, Liu Yifei is also a little competitive and cautious, the more netizens say that Li Mu may ruin a potential series in order to praise her, the more she looks forward to the box office success of the movie, wanting to impress netizens is only one of them, and wanting to compete for favor and merit in front of Li Mu is the first purpose.
"Look, I'm not ashamed of you, am I? I've said I'm a great man! ”
The domestic box office of the movie is not bad, and Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief after the data came out, but seeing that netizens were not satisfied with the box office, she was a little apprehensive again.
"Inception" grossed $87 million in the first week in North America, "Gravity" grossed $79 million in the first week, and "Doomsday Collapse" $63 million.
But netizens said that there are Cheng Long and Yang Ziqiong in the end of the world, why are you hungry? A vase that leans on your boyfriend?
Could hunger really be worse than the end of the world?
Then the box office came out on the first day, $85.31 million, which surpassed the first week of the center of the earth and the end of the world on the first day, and also ranked first on the first day and the single-day double list, which is no longer a question of whether the results are good or not, but a little scary.
It feels like only the word "horror" can accurately describe the first-day box office of "The Hunger Games" in North America.
In broad daylight, Liu Yifei first sat on Li Mu's lap, and then put his face on Li Mu's face.
"Husband, you're awesome!"
"Hmm."
"Husband, you're so nice!"
"Hmm."
"Huh?" Liu Yifei parted his clinging face, and then looked at Li Mudao, "What else?" That's gone? ”
Liu Yifei's mentality is a little explosive at the moment.
"I'm like this, and he doesn't even know and praises me?"
"I've praised him twice, and he hasn't even replied to me?!"
"I really want to take a bite on his shoulder!"
"You're not trying to bite, are you?" Li Mu looked at Liu Yifei's eyes and teased, and then he hugged her arm hard, "If you want to say it's awesome, compared to movies, my best thing is actually luck, luck allows me to meet you and get you." If you want to say it's really good, my best thing is actually life, I can do my favorite career in this life, and I can do my favorite woman. ”
Liu Yifei felt beautiful at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt that something was wrong.
"You're so dirty."
"Where am I dirty? Isn't that all there is to men and women? ”
"The dirtiest thing is to talk too much and do less."
"You say I do less?"
"Yes."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it!"
"I've only heard of tired cows, but I haven't heard of terriered ground!"
"Where did you learn witticisms one after another?"
"I read books at most, unlike you, who sneak around and watch small movies all day long."
"I watch a little movie? Who do you listen to? I never look at that thing! ”
"Really never look?"
"Of course."
"And where did you learn all those endless tricks?"
"Uh...... In a dream! ”
Li Mu really doesn't think much of that thing, he was average in his previous life, until he crossed over, he just got mixed with a 50 million investment online drama director, but he is a small casting assistant director in the entertainment industry, that is, he can only be the master of some prospective actors, special actors, small roles like special actors, and the kind of assistant directors everywhere, there is basically no shortage of right-looking girls around him, not to mention Li Mu, who has been mixed with the director in his previous life.
It is precisely because he has experienced a lot in his previous life that he can withstand all kinds of temptations in this life.
Chatting and chatting, the two wanted to go further, but they were always interrupted halfway.
Both of them were busy on their mobile phones, and from time to time calls or text messages came in, and the two simply adjusted their emotions to deal with the congratulations from all directions.
Li Mu received calls from Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Han Sanping, Yan Yiyun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others, and Liu Yifei received calls from Zhang Liangying, Shu Sing, Yao Beina, Tang Yan and others.
In addition, the two also received a large number of congratulatory text messages, Li Mu wanted to see the text messages received by Liu Yifei on a whim, Liu Yifei said that unless Li Mu let him see him, and then the two exchanged mobile phones.
In addition to the female friends in the circle, Liu Yifei also sent congratulatory text messages from several friends of the opposite sex, Li Mu took a special look, and the friends of the opposite sex who sent text messages were: Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin.
Li Mu deliberately said in a strange tone: "Friends of the opposite sex, Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin." ”
Liu Yifei raised his head and said: "We are just ordinary friends, and we ......"
Liu Yifei suddenly began to count the text messages of the opposite sex on Li Mu's mobile phone, and then she suddenly felt angry.
"How dare he say she received text messages from the opposite sex?"
"Don't look at his own phone either!"
Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, Li Lianhua, Gao Yuanyuan, Jing Tian, Bai Bing, Yang Mi, Tong Liya...... Exactly 71 of them! ”
"I accept three, he accepts seventy-one, what's the matter, I still want to make a seventy-two concubine!"
I was complaining in my heart, but as soon as the phone lit up, another one came, Zhao Liying, and Liu Yifei looked up at Li Mu.
"He really got me a seventy-two concubine!"
After the first day data of the movie in North America came out, domestic public opinion exploded directly, and related news frequently made headlines on major websites in just one day.
Netizens' evaluation of this matter is just four words: "Terrifying! ”
I know that you Li Mu are very good, but I didn't let you be so good!
Some netizens even began to ridicule Lao Mei that she should set up a "Hollywood Movie Protection Month".
There is a "Domestic Film Protection Month" in China, as for why there is such a thing, of course, it is because Hollywood blockbusters have conquered cities all over the world before, and domestic films can't compete with Hollywood blockbusters!
The state wants to support domestic films, so this thing was set up.
Now that Li Mu's movies always have a terrifying record in North America, defeating Hollywood movies, isn't it the turn of Lao Mei to set up the "Hollywood Film Protection Month"?
As for some people complaining that Li Mu's movie is not a pure domestic film, at most it can be regarded as a co-production - "Gravity" must be an indisputable domestic film, right?
There are two main actors in the whole film, one is Zhang Yimou and one is Gong Li, this is finally a pure Chinese film, right?
The result?
$1.7 billion at the global box office!
The CEOs in the circle are dumbfounded, such as Huayi's Wang brothers, Bernard's Yu Dong, China Film's Han Sanping, etc., everyone knows that they can't use common sense to figure out Li Mu's movie, the madness of "Gravity" is still fresh in everyone's memory, but "The Hunger Games" - $85.31 million on the first day?
Lose your marbles!
Anyone who looks at this data will shake their heads in disbelief.
The actors in the circle were almost dumbfounded, it used to be said that an actor Niu was the actor who successfully entered Hollywood, and he could get a relatively important role in Hollywood movies, but when it came to Li Mu, he came to Hollywood with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and even crushed Hollywood.
Liu Yifei, why is she so good?
Also, it's too normal for the entertainment industry to divide and merge, when will these two be divided? Li Mu has such a high-quality resource, and you can't always let you occupy it alone!
Liu Yifei's fans even cried excitedly.
The first day result is the first in film history, and the first place in film history in a single day, which is not mighty!
On Sunday, the third day of the film's release, "The Hunger Games" earned another 83 million yuan in the domestic market, Monday was a working day, the box office fell significantly, at 46 million yuan, and the box office rose slightly on Tuesday, at 49 million yuan, at this time, the forecast of the relevant domestic institutions for the box office of the film is about 790 million yuan.
Among the non-Huashang domestic films, Feng Xiaogang's "The Great Earthquake" can overwhelm it, and if you count Hollywood movies, there is also a "Avatar", and the domestic box office of "The Hunger Games" exceeded Li Mu's expectations, but it obviously did not meet the expectations of netizens.
Let's talk about the North American market.
After the film grossed $85.31 million on Friday's first day of release, the single-day box office on Saturday was still as high as $61.2 million, ranking first on the Saturday single-day grossing list in film history, and a full $9.9 million higher than the second place "Spider-Man 3" ($51.33 million).
With a single-day box office of $42 million on Sunday, it ranks second on the single-day box office list on Sundays in film history, behind "Batman: The Dark Knight" (43.59 million) and higher than "Spider-Man 3" ($39.93 million) and "Shrek 3" ($36.12 million).
So far, the first week box office of the film has finally been released, and the total box office of the film is 188.51 million US dollars on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, ranking first in the box office list of November and winter opening! It is much higher than "Batman: The Dark Knight" ($158 million), which has firmly occupied the first place in the opening box office list of film history for two years.
Li Mu is not just satisfied with this box office figure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he gasped.
He searched through the data of his previous life and found that in fact, the box office of "The Hunger Games" in his previous life was already very exaggerated, and its first-week box office was $155 million, which was only $3 million lower than "Batman: The Dark Knight" (158 million), which occupied the first place in the first-week box office for three years.
The sales in this life are more than 1.4 times that of the previous life, and the box office of the movie is 1.2 times that of the previous life, but fortunately it is only 1.2 times, if the box office is also 1.4 times that of the previous life, then the box office of the movie in the first week will break 200 million US dollars.
While being pleasantly surprised by the box office miracle created by "The Hunger Games", Li Mu is also analyzing the characteristics of its box office trend.
"Twilight 2: New Moon" grossed $72.7 million on its first day, much higher than "Batman: The Dark Knight" at $67.85 million, which turned out to be $15 million higher than the former in its first week.
Li Mu's version of "The Hunger Games" grossed a full $17 million more than "The Dark Knight" in the first week, but the single-day box office on the third day of the film's release was overtaken by the latter.
This shows that the most striking feature of fan movies like Hunger and Crescent Moon is that the box office is very unfavorable at the beginning, but it is often accompanied by a lack of stamina.
This week's North American box office charts:
"The Hunger Games" first, $188 million.
Harry Potter 7 second, $50.5 million.
"Tangled" third, $49 million.
The Hunger Games is $138 million higher than the second-place Harry Potter 7!
However, the latter is the second week of release, the first week is better than the second week, and "Harry Potter 7" box office is $125 million in the first week, which is still $63 million lower than "The Hunger Games".
Before the release of the film, Li Mu said in an interview that "The Hunger Games" had a chance to beat "Harry Potter 7" at the box office in North America, and many people thought he was bragging, but now it turns out that instead of bragging, he is a little conservative.
Li Mu and Liu Yifei checked the list of records created by "The Hunger Games" summarized by netizens.
No. 1 in the box office list on the first day in film history.
No. 1 in the single-day box office list in film history.
No. 1 in the first week of film history.
No. 2 at the Sunday box office in film history.
The second in the box office list of a single museum in film history.
The fastest time in film history to break the $100 million mark.
The fastest film in film history broke the $150 million mark.
The female hero movie in film history ranked first in the box office list.
Liu Yifei was dazzled by a series of words such as first, second, and fastest, and she asked Li Mu a little stunned: "How can it be so powerful?" ”
Li Mu carefully analyzed: "First of all, it must be because the readership group is too large, from 05 years to today, its global sales have officially exceeded the 60 million mark......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yifei had already hooked his neck and kissed him, and Li Mu was naturally in no mood to continue to analyze.
Speaking of readers, in fact, the "Hunger Games" in the previous life was really quite magical.
In a way, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter and Twilight didn't go the same way.
Compared with the latter, the "Hunger Games" in the previous life did not strictly follow the deduction model of "supporting the movie".
When the Harry Potter movie began filming, the fourth "Goblet of Fire" was officially released.
The "Twilight Zone" movie was already popular all over the world when filming began.
This huge group of book fans is directly promoted to the trading mode of movie fans, which successfully ensures that the series of works frequently breaks box office records.
When the "Hunger Games" in the previous life was officially put on the big screen, although it already had a certain reputation, it was far from reaching the white-hot height of the three flowers.
Li Mu said that the sales of "The Hunger Games" in this life are 1.4 times that of the previous life, and he is actually talking about the sales of the movie after the release of the movie in the previous life, and in the week of the movie's release, it sold 10 million copies in just six days.
At this time in this life, "The Hunger Games" has already swept the world with three flowers, and its readers don't know how many times stronger than the previous life when the film was released, so it seems that its box office is better than the previous life.
What's more, I don't humble myself to say that the word "Li Mu" is still quite appealing on Lao Mei's side.
After the film was officially released, Li Mu and Liu Yifei planned to stay in the United States for a week, and then they were ready to leave for China.
And during the two of them in the United States, the chairmen of the six Hollywood majors even had to line up to see Li Mu.
It's not the vice president, it's the chairman!
That's right, the chairman of the six levels of Hollywood will also line up when he sees Li Mu!
Not to mention miracle movies such as "Gravity" and "Inception", just a "Hunger Games" has become like this, but Li Mu still holds the same type of "Divergent" and "Moving Maze" in his hands.
Li Mu has reached a verbal agreement with the Hollywood Six before that, and the latter two will invite Hollywood to jointly develop, and it is possible that Hollywood will take the lead, but after all, no formal contract has been signed, right?
How much is at stake here?
Will "Divergent" and "Moving Maze" be remakes of "The Hunger Games"?
Hollywood is like this, money is paramount, and face is not important at all.
Li Lianjie once said in an interview:
As long as your movie data is on fire, the big bosses of Hollywood are willing to kneel down directly and beg you to make a movie, really kneel!
But once your movie data is not good again, people will immediately not know you again.
But if your data is okay again, the chairman of Hollywood can still lick his face and beg you.
You ask him, why are you here again?
People don't feel embarrassed at all: "Oh, there's no way, it's all about survival, this is survival!" ”
It is said that Li Lian was previously hung by the chairman of one of the eight Hollywood congresses for 45 minutes, and then a year later, Li Lianlian's data suddenly rose, and he was still the chairman, when Li Lian was making a movie with Luc Besson in France, the chairman flew directly to France to ask Li Lian to cooperate, but this time he was hung by Li Lian for two hours.
To put it mildly, Li Mu's data now is much more than that of Li Lianniu back then, and he is completely worthy of Hollywood's chairmen lining up to come to the door.
