Chapter 306: Why the Box Office Soared
After the box office of the two movies came out the next day, insiders directly lost their voices.
The single-day box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" increased to $25 million, which did not surprise many people, and even many people felt that the box office was a bit low.
This is a big production of Paramount, and the reputation is so good, it is normal to have such box office results when the publicity is full.
But what happens when your 3,000 Warriors break one million at the box office?
Figure out your identity, you're just a copycat porcelain.
The box office rise of "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" is acceptable to everyone, everyone can accept it if it rises to four or five hundred thousand, and seven or eight hundred thousand is barely acceptable, but breaking one million is really a bit exaggerated.
Yesterday your box office was only 210,000, and today it has skyrocketed fivefold to 1.1 million.
It's kind of outrageous.
In the movie discussion area, insiders are talking about the box office of "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta".
"Why did the box office of 3,000 Warriors break one million?"
"It shouldn't be, it's impossible, it's just a copycat porcelain, the last movie "Atlantic Rim" was so popular, and the highest box office in a single day was only 500,000, how could 3,000 warriors break 1 million."
"The box office of 300 warriors has only increased by less than 20 percent, but 3,000 warriors has skyrocketed by 400 percent, which is unscientific."
"Is there a problem with the box office statistics?"
"It's impossible, there are many institutions that are counting the box office, and there can be no mistakes in the box office results, and if there are mistakes, they will be corrected a long time ago."
"So the box office of 3,000 warriors really broke one million?"
"Why, give me a reason, the box office growth of other movies is because of the high quality, but the Three Thousand Warriors are just a piece of garbage."
"I am reminded of the original "The Hobbit Era", when the movie had a single-day box office of four million, in comparison, it seems normal for the single-day box office of 3,000 Warriors to break one million."
"That's different, "The Hobbit Era" is the first time that a copycat has encountered a porcelain piece, and the audience has encountered this situation for the first time, and they can't tell the difference between the two movies, so they gave Xu Nan a chance, but this is the third time, and the audience can't still tell the difference."
"Yes, this is the third copycat porcelain piece, the names of the previous two movies are very similar to this matter is so popular on the Internet, and a stalk has been derived, as long as you have been on the Internet, you should know that the audience can't tell the difference."
"Then why did the box office of the movie suddenly skyrocket, there should always be a reason, right?"
"That's weird."
People in the circle are puzzled, why did this cottage touch porcelain suddenly broke out?
Before, everyone was singing about it, and it looked like the cottage couldn't touch the porcelain, but suddenly there was an outbreak, which shocked the eyes of a group of people.
The most important thing is, why is this happening?
I don't know why, and this group of insiders can't feel at ease.
The single-day box office of more than one million is nothing at all when placed on other movies, but it can be said to be very amazing when placed on the head of the copycat porcelain film.
The cost of this type of film is notoriously low.
Schneider saw the latest box office results, and his expression was a little confused.
The box office growth of the movie made by himself is worth being happy, but how can the box office of the copycat porcelain film of Three Thousand Warriors also grow against the trend?
Judging from the amplitude alone, it is even more exaggerated than him.
What's going on?
It can't be stealing the box office of his movie.
Schneider asked the producer sitting next to him: "Is it possible that the box office of 3,000 warriors has stolen our box office?" ”
The producer of the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta shook his head: "It's unlikely, once the box office stealing is discovered, the consequences are very serious, and a copycat is just a porcelain film, and there is no need to rush the record, nor do you need to raise the stock price, there is no need to steal the box office." ”
Schneider nodded slightly, he also felt that it was unlikely to steal the box office, the key was that the theater chain did not have the motivation to cooperate with the 3,000 warriors to steal the box office.
Then the question arises, why did the box office of the Three Thousand Warriors grow so much, which is even more outrageous than his Three Hundred Warriors.
Schneider's mind flashed: "Is it possible, the audience can't tell the difference between "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" and "Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta", after the word of mouth of our movie Three Hundred Warriors spread, the audience came to visit, because they didn't distinguish the movie clearly, they watched it wrong, and provided the box office for Three Thousand Warriors." ”
The producer frowned and thought for a while: "It's unlikely, the popularity of the two movies with similar names is so high on the Internet, basically as long as anyone who has been on the Internet knows, how can there be people who can't tell the difference." ”
"This is the third time, and even a pig should be able to tell the difference."
"And there is so much multimedia science popularization, and the company has spent so much money on publicity, it is impossible for anyone to be unable to tell the difference."
Schneider thought about it, the audience is not stupid, this matter is very hot on the Internet, and there is a stalk, in this case, how can anyone not tell the difference.
Probably not for this reason.
So here's the problem?
What is the reason for this?
This question is very confusing to insiders, Schneider is very confused, and the media is also very confused.
A small gossip media called Knox News, in order to investigate this issue, even sent reporters to the door of the theater to investigate why the box office of "Spartan 30000 Warriors" would be so high.
The journalist, called Adrian, came to the door of the theater with a cameraman and assistants.
Coincidentally, at this time, a screening of "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta" was completed, and a large number of audiences walked out of the theater.
Adrian hurriedly ran over and walked in front of a random viewer: "Excuse me, I'm a reporter for Knox News, can I ask you a question?" ”
This audience member is a middle-aged man, a common image of a big fat man in the United States, he glanced at the cameraman behind the reporter and nodded slightly.
The reporter asked: "Why did you choose to watch the movie "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta"? ”
The obese middle-aged man said in a rough voice: "I heard from a friend that there was a good movie about Sparta recently, so I went to the theater to watch it." ”
The reporter asked: "Then do you think this movie is good?" ”
The obese middle-aged man shook his head in extreme disappointment: "It's very ugly, the content of the movie is outrageous and nonsensical, although it's a bit funny, but it's not the epic blockbuster I imagined at all, I suspect my friend is playing tricks on me, because this movie doesn't match him at all." ”
The reporter thought for a while, slowed down his speech, and asked seriously: "Is it possible, you watched the wrong movie, he said "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", but you watched "The Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta??" ”
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged obese man looked confused.
