On Monday, the seventh day of release, the daily box office was 77 million, with a cumulative box office of 747 million yuan.

From more than 130 million on Sunday to less than 80 million on Monday, the box office has fallen a little too much, but in fact, this does not mean that there is a problem with the film's reputation.

In fact, the reputation of "Source Code" is very good, with a score of 8.9 on Douban, and it has entered the top 150 of Douban's movie score ranking without any suspense.

With a praise rate of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and an IMDB score of 8.2, "Source Code" has received a lot of praise both in China and overseas.

"The film tells the story of a dead man trying to save the magic capital from a nuclear catastrophe, full of suspense, beautifully crafted, and a classic horror work. (The New Yorker)"

"A very ingenious sci-fi thriller worthy of the audience. (Detroit News Review)"

"The theme of the film involves the theory of parallel spaces: worlds may diverge and diffuse into an infinite number of parallel worlds with each decision and choice...... (Tencent Entertainment Review)"

The reason why the box office fell a little bit on Monday just shows that the movie has received a high degree of attention, because this is a film produced by Huashang Media, and it is a work written by Li Mu himself, so countless audiences choose to go into the theater to watch it as soon as possible, which leads to a large number of box offices concentrated in the first few days, and the box office is abnormally high a few days before the release.

Only those films that did not have much attention at the beginning and were basically not optimistic, but the quality of the film was extremely outstanding, will have a greater chance of a very low box office decline or even reverse growth, because the word-of-mouth fermentation in the later stage of the film has made more people know about it.

The movie's hit also sparked a lot of discussion among netizens about topics such as "what will you do when you have the last eight minutes left in your life" and "cherish the moment", and the number of retweets soon exceeded 12,000.

Within seven days of the film's release, the cumulative box office reached 747 million, and the domestic box office explosion of "Source Code" even made Andy Lau, who has been popular for decades and experienced countless ups and downs, feel a little incredible.

Andy Lau knew from the beginning that "Source Code" must be the highest-grossing of all his movies, and his previous best work box office score was 286 million yuan, which is actually very high, but Huashang Media has not had such a bad box office movie for many years?

That's right, in the eyes of many companies, it is already a box office hit, but it is a rare failure in a few years to put it in Huashang Media.

Li Mu attaches so much importance to the project "Source Code", or is it a script written by him himself, how can the box office be bad?

Andy Lau didn't believe that his luck would be so bad, Li Mu and Huashang Media's first failed work was caught up by himself, so the success of the movie must be successful, but how successful is it?

No one can say for sure.

Andy Lau also thought before that the cumulative domestic box office of about 700 million should be about the same, and "33 Days of Broken Love" and "Beijing Meets Seattle", which are known as miracles and dark horses, are all in this range.

In case the film explodes, it is not impossible for the cumulative box office to break the 1 billion yuan mark, but that is already the most ideal situation he can think of in his mind, and it can only be said that there is a chance, but it is not big.

As a result, "Source Code" broke 700 million in seven days, if nothing else, there is a high probability of breaking 800 million on the eighth day, and now Maoyan's box office forecast has reached 1.47 billion, and I don't know if the forecast is accurate, but even if it is not accurate, it is overestimated, at least breaking 1 billion is already a certainty, right?

Andy Lau has all the movies in the past ten years, and the box office does not add up!

A movie, more than ten years of hard work, although it does not take into account inflation, is still very good.

Cooperating with Li Mu and his Huashang Media, the joy of it can never be felt by those who have not cooperated.

To say that the most satisfying thing about this cooperation is that he was not robbed of the show by Zhou Xingzhi.

Zhou Xingzhi is a movie genius, anyone who cooperates with him, unconsciously the audience's eyes will all turn to Xing Ye, you give Xing Ye a supporting role, and he will play the protagonist unconsciously.

This time, when Li Mu first asked Andy Lau to shoot "Source Code", he actually didn't have the intention of asking Zhou Xingzhi to film a comedian, but later Zhou Xingzhi asked Li Mu to shoot the empty son, and Li Mu had an idea to ask Zhou Xingzhi to also come to make a cameo, so Andy Lau later heard that Zhou Xingzhi was also going to join this project, and he was really worried for a while.

To be honest, he cherishes this opportunity to cooperate with director Li Mu, the more people Li Mu invites to join this project, the more relieved he is, the more big names Li Mu invites, the more attention he attaches to this film, only Zhou Xingzhi is an exception, because according to past experience, he cooperated with Zhou Xingzhi, and the audience watched Zhou, so is he still the protagonist?

As a result, his worries this time are obviously superfluous, although Zhou Xingzhi's role this time is very brilliant and gives the audience a different feeling, but obviously he was not robbed of the scene this time, which can be proved from the comments of major media or the discussion of netizens in major film review areas.

The box office is likely to exceed the sum of the previous ten years, and the cooperation with Zhou Xingzhi will not be robbed of the scene, reversing the decline of many movies on the street in a row, it can be said that "Source Code" has had an extremely significant impact on Liu Tianwang's entire career.

Movie box office.

This time, Andy Lau's fans finally raised their eyebrows.

Before the box office fiasco of "I Know a Woman's Heart", Sohu.com quoted netizens as commenting, one of which characterized Andy Lau as "box office poison", which can make Andy Lau's fans angry enough.

is not even just Andy Lau's fans, many passers-by netizens who are not fans of the king are also quite unaccustomed to the media's practice of calling artists "poison" at every turn, and many netizens burst into foul language at that time.

"MB Kuroko!"

"Whether he is poisonous or not, some people like him, and he makes money, in addition to posting this kind of black post, can you bite him??"

"The wall is down and everyone pushes it, the reality is so cruel!"

"It seems that Fan Binbin's responsibility is a little greater, if the heroine is replaced by Gong Li, it is absolutely impossible to only get more than 50 million box office!" (How did netizens know that there was once a time and space where the heroine was played by Gong Li, and the box office turned out to be more than 60 million.) ）

But now, as soon as "Source Code" came out, Liu Tianwang completely swept away the previous decline.

"The slap in the face came too fast, the first second was still box office poison, and the next second the new movie is expected to have a box office of 1.4 billion!"

"Wrong, wrong, the box office is expected to be 1.4 billion in the first second, and the box office is already expected to be 1.53 billion in the next second!"

It's true.

Someone really looked at Maoyan's box office forecast a second ago, and it also showed that the box office was expected to be 1.47 billion, but after twelve o'clock in the night, it was refreshed again, and it immediately became 1.53 billion!

"Source Code" exploded at the domestic box office, and Andy Lau worked harder, riveting his efforts to make the box office of the movie successfully break through the 1.5 billion yuan mark, and ran up to publicize, which even made the young people in his peers cry out that they couldn't bear it.

In the face of reporters' questions about "how do you think the box office of "Source Code" Maoyan is expected to break 1.5 billion" and "Did you think that this movie would achieve such a high box office result before", Tianwang said:

"Of course, I thought that the box office would be very high, Director Lin Chaoxian is very professional, Director Li Mu and Huashang Media's project, I won't be surprised how high the box office is."

"Any thoughts? The biggest idea is that as long as you make a movie seriously, the audience will repay you! ”

Compared with the intransigence in the domestic market, the performance of "Source Code" in the overseas market - of course it is not bad, and it can even be called a big hit in terms of cost, but it is still not comparable with works such as "The Martian" directed by Li Mu before.

On December 21, the first day of release, the revenue was $10.2 million.

On December 22, the day after its release, it earned $9.3 million.

Day 3, Friday, 8.7 million; On the fourth day, Saturday, 8.9 million, and on the fifth day, Sunday 8.4 million — $26 million in the first three days of the opening weekend and $45.5 million in North America over five days of release.

The nearly 20 million box office on Wednesday and Thursday is not included in the opening weekend box office, so although the total box office of "Source Code" in North America has reached $45.5 million, its opening weekend box office is only $26 million, and this result makes it the runner-up in the North American box office list this week, and the winner is "Mission Impossible 4", which has been released for the second week, with a box office of $29.5 million this weekend.

In addition, Source Code also performed well in non-North American countries.

As of Monday of the second week, the film has grossed $6.1 million in the United Kingdom, along with $5.7 million in South Korea, $4.5 million in France, $3.8 million in Australia, $2.9 million in RB and $2.7 million in Russia.

In short, as of December 27, the film was released for seven days, and it grossed a total of $145 million in North America and overseas, and if you add about $110 million at the domestic box office, "Source Code" has been released worldwide for seven days, with a cumulative box office of $256 million.

……

The crew of "20 Years Old Again".

Bai Bing took out his mobile phone to check the real-time box office of "Source Code" at every opportunity, and after seeing that the estimated box office broke 1.5 billion, Bai Bing smiled all day.

Jin Chen and Reba will have long been familiar with the white soldiers.

Then Bai Bing and Jin Chen and Reba inadvertently bumped into someone behind the scenes of Bai Bing and Li Mu's gossip, Jin Chen and Reba are still just a nameless little transparent at this time, and Bai Bing is already one of the four little flowers handpicked by Li Mu, and in the past half a year, he has also starred in two big heroine movies produced by Huashang Media - "Time and Space Traveler" and "Return to 20 Years Old", so Jin Chen and Reba usually please Bai Bing, and the three often act together, but they bumped into someone gossiping.

There is nothing unusual about the content of the rumor, it is nothing more than that the relationship between Bai Bing and Li Mu is by no means simple, and it is said that Bai Bing is so beautiful, how can Li Mu not eat it? If she didn't eat it, why did she give her so many good resources? How can anyone in the entertainment industry praise you so much for no reason? Just because you and Li Mu are in the same university? Don't be naïve!

That's the idea, and as a result, Bai Bing, who has always been very gentle and good-tempered, suddenly became furious and scolded those people with their heads and faces.

This matter has made a lot of trouble, and it has even been on the news of major portals, causing a lot of controversy.

However, after this incident, there were more people who believed that there might be something between Bai Bing and Li Mu, and many people understood Bai Bing's sudden frenzy as annoyance and anger.

This group of people includes Yang Mi!

"I said there must be something between them!"

However, the current crew of "Shark Beach", Yang Mi is also facing rumors that are almost exactly the same as Bai Bing.

It is also rumored that she took the initiative to find Li Mu to sleep for the role, and it is also rumored that she has a nose and eyes, I don't know if I thought they saw it with their own eyes.

But Yang Mi's handling method is completely different from Bai Bing's, Bai Bing is directly angry, Yang Mi simply ignores it, or even just ignores it, she also talks about some small details about getting along with Li Mu intentionally or unintentionally when communicating with people, a little bit Since you want to misunderstand, then I will simply give you something to say.

Then Yang Mi found that everyone was more polite to her.

If this is really Director Li, what do you say we are messing with her?

It's actually quite strange.

Bai Bing and Yang Mi are both rumored to have that kind of relationship with Li Mu, and the reactions of the two are completely different, Bai Bing blew up directly, and scolded the person who chewed the root of his tongue with his head and face, and then the ordinary people who ate melons felt that Bai Bing was annoyed and angry, she and Li Mu really had something!

Then after Yang Mi encountered the same rumors, instead of choosing to extinguish the fire, she took the initiative to add fuel to the fire, but the ordinary people who ate melons still understood that Yang Mi and Li Mu must have something to do.

It's just that no matter how you respond, you'll be considered to be really something, right?

……

At the end of December, Li Mu began to shift most of his energy to the promotion and distribution of the new movie "People in Embarrassment".

The first day of the Lunar New Year in 2012 was on January 23, and this year's Spring Festival stalls still have no strong opponents.

In addition to "Non-Embarrassment", there is only one film released during the Spring Festival this year, "A New Natural Couple" and "Dinner is Crazy" are also scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then the imported movie "Sherlock Holmes 2 Weird Game" is scheduled for January 15, "Counter War" starring Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse is scheduled for January 17, and "Pleasant Goat and Big Wolf is Only Happy in the Year of the Dragon" is scheduled for January 12, it seems that this year's Spring Festival file is basically the world of "Non-Embarrassment".

At least that's what the outside world thinks, the theater promised to arrange an astonishingly high proportion of films for "Non-embarrassing".

The great success of the first two people in the Embarrassment series made everyone believe that Li Mu would definitely be able to create a new miracle this time.

When "Thai Embarrassment" was released, although the previous work "People in Embarrassment 1" had already gained a certain amount of attention, it certainly could not be compared with the popularity of the two current series.

Especially the second "Thai Embarrassment", it is really amazing, it can win a box office of 1.5 billion in that era, which is simply a shocking hit.

And the director of "Thai Embarrassment" is still Shen Junsheng, a tool man director under Li Mu.

Now the third "Non-Embarrassment" is directed by Li Mu himself, and the effect must be far better than the previous "Thai Embarrassment", right? !

"Thai Embarrassment" has won 1.5 billion box office, the sequel filmed by your Director Li himself, if you don't get 1780 million, where will you put Director Li's face?

To be honest, Li Mu is nervous now.

He copied all the previous movies, and he knew that these films were likely to be popular, so his mentality was very stable.

But now the "Non-Embarrassment" is his original script, although he has plagiarized a large number of later films, but it is still Li Mu's original work in essence.

Don't look at the outside world blowing Li Mu to the point that there are few in the sky and nothing on the earth, in fact, Li Mu himself knows his own strength very clearly - he is not a genius!

"So this time it's finally going to overturn?"

Approaching the Spring Festival, Li Mu was a little apprehensive.

……

Let's go back to the global release of "Source Code".

In the second week, "Source Code" won a total of 370 million yuan at the domestic box office, and the cumulative domestic box office reached 1.119 billion yuan.

In the North American market, a total of $23.7 million was collected in the second week and seven days, plus last week's $45.5 million, bringing the total box office in North America to $69.2 million.

In addition to this, there are overseas markets outside of North America, totaling $193 million, and with the addition of North America and the mainland, the total global box office is $426 million.

The performance of "Source Code" in the domestic market has far exceeded Li Mu's previous expectations, and I don't know how much of this is due to Xing Ye.

The total production cost is 30 million US dollars, and the box office of 426 million US dollars in two weeks of release, of which 165 million US dollars is received in the Chinese market alone, which has far exceeded the 69.2 million US dollars in the North American market, and the Chinese market has really grown.
