At the end of the movie, the lights came on, and Zhou Sing and others walked out of the screening hall one after another with the crowd.

Along the way, the audience was reminiscing about the plot of the film just now, and it could be seen that the vast majority of the audience was very excited at the moment, obviously no one expected the film to be so good.

Almost everyone who walked out of the screening hall would mention the wonderful scene of building an ice castle with magic, and many of them said they wanted to watch it again!

Some viewers who had done their homework in advance also mentioned that the singer of the theme song of the film was actually Zhang Liangying, and for a while, the discussion about Zhang Liangying's singing skills became a hot topic among these people.

The three of them returned to school together, and very coincidentally met Zhou Sing's roommate at the school gate, and after a brief greeting, Zhou Sing continued to chat with the two female classmates about the movie they had just watched.

"I really didn't expect Li Mu's first animated film to be able to do it to this extent!"

"Uh-huh, it's amazing, especially the part where Elsa uses magic to build a castle, it's really amazing."

"I'm going to do it twice, what about you?"

"Me too, not only for that part, in fact, the whole plot is quite novel, the prince and princess became villains in the end, but the sisterhood in it is very touching."

"The snowman is cute, and there are reindeer, and the male protagonist doesn't have a high sense of presence."

"The clothes inside are so beautiful, I don't know if the store sells them."

……

The discussion of the three classmates was in full swing, and Zhou Sang's roommates were confused. Is the heart really fake? How can a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale movie with the theme of a prince and princess be so good? Zhou sings, this kid is deliberately following others for the sake of picking up girls, right?

When a few people returned to the dormitory, Zhou Sang's roommates couldn't help but check the video on the Internet, and as a result, the Internet at the moment was almost overwhelmingly praised, which made these students who had never been interested in animated movies become itchy.

Zhou Sing was extremely impressed by the clip of Aisha singing and using magic to build an ice castle in the film, so as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help but praise "Frozen" on the Internet.

"There is a beautiful shadow singing, that part is a masterpiece? Well, another one who has never seen a real masterpiece! ”

"Zhang Liangying's singing of the theme song is actually not bad, but if you want to say that she is a god, it is actually quite bad."

"I thought that was enough to be a god, until I saw another picture."

Zhou Sing was a little confused, what did he say about the situation? Did these people really watch that paragraph? How could it be this reaction otherwise?

It wasn't until some netizens patiently explained to him that he realized that his second brush looked inevitable no matter what, because it seemed that the English version of the film was even more awesome!

"The English version looks better than the Chinese version? Is the English version of LetItGo the real god? ”

Of course, one or two said this, Zhou Sing didn't care, but when more and more people said this, he didn't hesitate to log in to Maoyan Movies and buy another English version of the ticket for himself.

"Let's see if the English version is really as awesome as they say."

After doing all this, Zhou Sing suddenly remembered that he should give the film a score, so he logged in to Douban again, and did not hesitate to give a five-star praise.

In fact, the score of this film has come out, 8.8 points, although the movie score generally has a slow decline process in the later stage, but this score can still be said to be quite amazing, you must know that this is the first work produced by Manwu Animation Studio.

It seems that the Chinese animated film is really saved this time!

The release of "Frozen" is a big event in the Chinese entertainment industry, and even many bigwigs in the circle are paying attention to all kinds of information about the film in real time.

For example, Bernard's Yu Dong, Huayi's Wang Brothers, Wang Changtian of Light Limited, Yan Yiyun of West Film Studio, Han Sanping of China Film, Gu Guoqing of Huaxia Film, etc.

In the past, all the movies directed by Li Mu himself, the major companies in the circle grabbed as many investment shares as they could. Li Mu's movies, from sci-fi action blockbusters, to small-budget comedy movies, and even love movies, have never been lost. Investing in the movies directed by Li Mu himself is only a matter of making more and making less, and there will never be the possibility of losing money.

Only this time Li Mu had an accident when he invested in "Frozen".

Li Mu actually wants to invest in directing an animated film? Is an animated film the same thing as a live-action movie? Li Mu has never directed an animated film, can he really do it the first time?

Extrapolating from common sense, there is a high probability that this "Frozen" will not be as good as Li Mu's live-action movie.

If it is an ordinary Li Mu movie, then even if you know that it is a loss, you will generally have to invest money with it, and it is very important to have a good relationship with Li Mu, but the problem is that the investment scale of "Frozen" is too amazing.

$150 million!

With such a big investment, it is the first time to make an animated movie, and if you don't do it, you will lose all your money.

So this time, everyone is very cautious, except for China Film, West Film, etc., the rest of the companies have the intention of investing as little as possible.

Now that the film has finally been released, the bosses of various families also want to confirm whether their original judgment was right or wrong.

The box office of the film on the first day has not yet come out, but judging from the film's ratings and critics' comments, the reputation of "Frozen" must have exploded.

There is no doubt that "Frozen" is a good movie, and now it depends on whether the film can sell well at the box office.

A good movie doesn't necessarily sell well, everyone in the circle knows this, and I don't know if "Frozen" can be popular and popular.

Time blink to the next day, and several CEOs also learned about the box office of "Frozen" on the first day.

177.8 million!

The moment they heard the exact number, several CEOs chuckled in their hearts, especially Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun, brothers.

The two once judged that the probability of losing money in "Frozen" was extremely high, so it was only a symbolic investment, but judging from the box office on the first day - this is second only to "Fei Yi", right?

Can an animated movie really be such a blockbuster?

As long as the interests are sufficient, the Wang brothers are actually not afraid of offending people, and the "Journey to the West" held by Zhou Xingzhi in the original time and space seems to have been cheated by it. Since it has been judged that "Frozen" is likely to lose, the two Wang Zhonglei brothers naturally voted as little as possible if they could.

As a result, it looks like "Frozen" really exploded?

The two Wang Zhonglei brothers are a little speechless, Li Mu really won't fail, right?

The two of them were still proud before, others were greedy when they saw Li Mu's movie, the two of them saw the risks in advance and chose to be cautious, which is quite in line with the way of investment, isn't it? But......

Fortunately, the North American box office has not come out for the time being, and at present, there is a high probability that "Frozen" will be a big hit in China, but the investment of 150 million US dollars is not enough to rely on the domestic box office alone.

Yu Dongyu's mood is similar to that of the Wang brothers, and he also judged that "Frozen" is likely to lose.

He believes that "Frozen" should not be a bad movie, but the investment in the film is too big, 150 million US dollars, and he can't believe how an animated film can make such a large amount of money.

However, unlike the Wang brothers, even if Yu Dong clearly judged that the film was going to lose, he still chose to invest a considerable amount of money, because in Yu Dong's view, the loss and profit of a single film are not important at all, and maintaining a good relationship with Li Mu is the most important.

Now it seems that I was wrong.

177.8 million yuan on the first day, and the film's big profit is already a high probability event.

Fortunately, although I made a mistake, the company seems to be about to make a lot of money.

and Li Mu's maiden West Film Studio.

Western Film Studio has never studied whether Li Mu's movies can be lost or earned, anyway, it's good to vote without brains.

Even Director Yan Yiyun is not afraid of losing money in Li Mu's movie at all, but the Western Film Studio is Li Mu's maiden family, so he won't invest if he is afraid of losing money, what kind of maiden family is this?

And by the next day, the film's next-day box office had not yet come out, but its first-day box office in North America had already come out first.

$29.8 million!

At this time, all the domestic CEOs who pay attention to the overseas data of the film are all shocked.

This result can undoubtedly rank second among all Li Mu's films, and it is second only to the North American first-day box office of "The Hunger Games".

At $29.8 million, the first-day box office of "Frozen" in North America is even higher than the first-day box office of "Inception" and "Gravity"!

Of course, the box office of "Gravity" in North America on the first day and week was actually not high, but its final box office was unbeatable among all Li Mu's films.

This is related to the fact that it led the 3D movie storm, and it is almost impossible for other films to have the super box office trend of "Gravity", but even compared with "Inception", the final box office of "Frozen" will never be bad.

"Inception" has an overseas box office of 830 million US dollars, if "Frozen" can also get this box office, plus the domestic box office of the film, then the total global box office of this film is likely to exceed 1 billion US dollars?!

Boy!

Another billion-dollar film is about to be born?

TM's, it seems that Li Mu has won a big victory again!

Just when everyone was still immersed in the shock of the overseas box office explosion of "Frozen", its next-day box office in China was finally counted.

214 million yuan!

The second film in the domestic market with a single-day box office of more than 200 million was born!

Then came the third day.

209 million yuan!

The film was released for three days, and the domestic box office was 601.3 million yuan!

Maoyan Movie predicts a total box office of 1.99 billion yuan.

What 1.99 billion?

What's the difference between this TM and 2 billion?

Is the second domestic 2 billion-level movie about to be born again?

The previous one was Li Mu's "People Are Not Embarrassed"

Huayi Brothers.

Wang Zhonglei said to Wang Zhongjun: "In the future, all Li Mu's movies will be voted as much as you can, let's do more and do less, let's not judge his films with our own eyes, why do we think we will lose money for the films that Li Mu thinks can be earned?" ”

Bernard to the East.

"When the Wang brothers made various excuses to vote less in "Frozen", what did Li Mu think in his heart? You can't be laughing, are you? You don't use it to give you the opportunity to make money! Who's the blame? Speaking of which, I'm not optimistic about "Frozen", but I'm optimistic about Li Mu, and now it seems that my vision for watching movies may not be smart enough, but in terms of life, I definitely have to beat the Huayi Wang brothers. ”

Xiying, director of Yan Yiyun.

"Hahahaha, it looks like you're going to make a lot of money again? The two Wang Zhonglei brothers symbolically voted a little bit, shouldn't they be slapping their thighs at this time? Hahahaha, interesting! ”

And on the fourth day of the film's release, its North American opening weekend box office was finally counted.

$91.04 million!

Compare it with Li Mu's previous works.

Previously, the highest-grossing film in North America in the first weekend was "The Hunger Games" starring Liu Yifei, with a cumulative box office of $188 million in the first three days of the first weekend, which is a ceiling-like existence.

In second place was "Inception," which grossed $87 million in its first three-day weekend.

Now the box office of "Frozen" is 91.04 million US dollars in the first weekend, that is to say, "Inception", which has been in theaters for many years, has officially retreated to third place, and "Frozen" has officially ranked second in the North American weekend box office of Li Mu's works.

However, what is surprising is that even though "Frozen" won a super high opening weekend box office result of 91.04 million US dollars, it still regretted that it did not reach the top of this week's championship.

Previously, "Fast Pursuit" topped the weekend box office with $21.7 million in the first weekend, but "Frozen" scored nearly four times as much, but it didn't win the championship. It's a bit frustrating to say, but who said that "Frozen" met a very tough opponent this time?

"Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn (Part II)", with a total box office of $145 million in the first three days of the opening weekend, deservedly topped the North American box office champion this week.

The second place is Li Mu's "Frozen", with 91.04 million US dollars.

The third is "007: Skyfall", which grossed $41.5 million over the weekend.

Among them, the data of "Frozen" and "Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn (Part II)" are both first-weekend box office data, while "007: Skyfall" has been in theaters for two weeks at this time.

……

When the data was transmitted back to China, it naturally caused a strong discussion.

"The North American box office has come out, and the box office in the first weekend surpassed "Inception", and it looks like the global box office breaking $1 billion is not a big problem."

"If it really breaks 1 billion US dollars, Li Mu currently has a total global box office of 5.24 billion US dollars, and the total box office directed by James Cameron is 6.2 billion US dollars.

"Stepping into the film industry in 04, the global total box office in 12 years is likely to surpass James Cameron, the second in the world, isn't it a bit too awesome!"

"I feel that it is not far to surpass Spielberg to become the world's No. 1, Spielberg's global box office is 8.28 billion US dollars, and Li Mu is estimated to be less than 2 billion US dollars after "Frozen", but don't forget, at the latest in January and February next year, Li Mu still has a "Hunger Games 2" to be released, and it is estimated that if it is played normally, it will be another $1 billion film, so compared with the world's first, it is actually only 1 billion US dollars."

"1 billion US dollars, I feel that it is not enough for Li Mu to toss for a year, two years at most!"

"Rub, what kind of crooked stunned is Liu Yifei looking for, is it a human being? It's also too ...... It's magical! ”

"Just now, someone upstairs said that the global box office of "Frozen" is likely to be around $1 billion? I can't agree with it! Apparently everyone is underestimating this film. If you just look at the film's North American performance, the final box office does seem to be at the level of $1 billion, but don't ignore the film's performance in other overseas markets? Like RB! ”

“RB？”

"That's right, you may not have noticed that the overseas box office market of "Frozen" outside of North America is very fierce, especially in RB, three days after the film was released, the RB box office has officially exceeded the 1.2 billion yen mark!"

"Is 1.2 billion yen in three days?"

"It's very awesome, the RB distributor has already shouted the slogan of 15 billion total box office, and the RB box office of "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou is only 4 billion yuan."

"In short, depending on the situation, the total box office is more than 1.23 billion US dollars, and I am not surprised at all."
