Chapter 570, breaking a billion dollars

Hong Kong Island, summer 1986.

More than two months have passed since Mitsui and his three big chaebols were dismantled, but the aftermath of this incident has still not been eliminated.

As the initiator of this matter, he did not pay much attention to this matter for many years because he had more things to do.

Hong Kong Island in July is particularly noisy.

The third Jurassic Park movie has already been released a few days ago, and it is as popular as ever.

Because the follow-up trend of this movie has become more different, plus the dinosaur series of movies, it was originally about special effects.

As long as the special effects shots are shocking enough and the monster dinosaurs are terrifying enough, they will be able to reap the box office.

Besides, the requirement for directors for many years is: not afraid of burning money, but the shots that are burned must be able to earn enough box office.

Otherwise, go back where you came from.

With the blessing of new technology, coupled with the dedicated performance of the actors, directors and other staff, even the third film in the series is very amazing at the box office.

When many friends saw this scene, they were just lemons.

"Fack! How many movies are these? Why is their Polygram Group-produced dinosaur movie still so strong? ”

Twentieth Century Fox, one of Hollywood's Big Eight, also released a dinosaur movie this summer.

The investment in this film is as high as 90 million US dollars, and at this point in time in 1986, this investment amount is undoubtedly very terrifying.

Originally, this was the ambition of Twentieth Century Fox, and they wanted to make a big difference at the box office.

But it is so good that I have to schedule the schedule at the end of June, which will be released half a month before the third part of Jurassic Park.

Well, now it's only been half a month since it was released, and the box office has reached more than 30 million.

But after the third part of Jurassic Park was released, the box office of Twentieth Century Fox's dinosaur movie was not cut in half, but fell directly.

Terrifying!

Because of this, the presidents of Twentieth Century Fox are mad.

Similar to Twentieth Century Fox are Warner Bros., Paramount, and MGM.

Because the three companies have also prepared dinosaur movies, of which Paramount will be released next weekend, only a week apart from the PolyGram Group's films.

This can be said to be straightforward and rigid.

But now seeing the box office explosion on the first day of Jurassic Park's release, all the top management of Paramount are completely confused: Fack, how is this possible?

You know, this is the third part of the series, and it belongs to the end of the crossbow.

But I didn't expect it to be so fierce, how can it be done?

Anyway, Paramount's executive meeting has been a mess.

Some people want to admit defeat directly and adjust the schedule!

But there are still some executives who think that the early publicity has been invested, and they choose to retreat at this time, where to put their face?

Warner Bros. and MGM are also in the next schedule, almost spanning the entire summer season.

There's no way, the summer file has always been a battleground for soldiers, and the most enjoyable thing is the fans.

"Let's increase publicity, we can't admit defeat, this time the box office champion, we have to take it back from anything"

The president of MGM said with a very sharp look in his eyes.

At the same time, they are very gloating about Twentieth Century Fox, after all, their current box office has broken bones, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will be painted by theaters, right?

The entire Bald Eagle Continent became extremely hot and dry in the summer of 86 due to the release of the third part of Jurassic Park.

In addition to Bald Eagle Continent, Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, Europe and other places, the third Jurassic Park movie is also conquering the city, just because this time, the marketing is doing better.

The last part of the series!

The King is back!

The ultimate shock of prehistoric dinosaurs!

A visual feast created by 500 million US dollars!

Many marketing words have directly become brainwashing copywriting, and they are publicized through TV, newspapers, buses and subways and other soft and hard broadcasts, which can be described as intensive artillery fire!

"Dad, this third dinosaur movie is really good, better than the previous two, it's too shocking."

Hong Kong Island, Villa 76 Deep Water Bay.

Xiao Budian, who had just gone to watch a movie with He Minhong, just got home, and saw that in the living room, Xu Yuanxi and his two brothers had been teaching arithmetic lessons for many years, and he couldn't help but praise.

He Minhong also echoed, saying that the third part was very good-looking.

When Qin Huairu next to him heard this, he immediately said with a smile:

"Needless to say? Your dad got a call just now, guess how much the box office of the Bald Eagle is there? ”

Jurassic Park Part 3 is not released worldwide, but there is a difference of one or two days in succession.

And Bald Eagle is the earliest, because the main creative team was the first to promote on their side, and it is also the largest ticket warehouse in the world at present, of course, it is the first choice to promote there.

Therefore, it is now the third day on the Bald Eagle's side, and now I must have known the box office results of the previous two days.

"Look at Mom, you are so happy, have you already exceeded 150 million?"

When Xiao Budian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and He Minhong followed and guessed a similar number.

The data of the first day, both of them knew, it was just over 70 million.

Seventy million dollars!

This data, of course, is enough to drive Hollywood giants such as Warner Bros., Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, and MGM crazy.

And the next day's data must be only high and not low, so it should not be a problem to guess that it will break through 150 million US dollars.

Qin Huairu did not continue to sell Guanzi, and said happily directly:

"It exceeded 150 million US dollars, and the box office reached 89 million US dollars the next day, and the two days together just reached 160 million US dollars."

Hiss!

So terrifying?

Xiao Budian and He Minhong suddenly gasped.

I originally thought that the data they guessed was exaggerated enough, and the actual data was even more exaggerated.

Such terrifying data is indeed desperate.

Many years on the side added:

"Now the Twentieth Century Fox movie has been released, but Paramount and their movies have not yet been announced."

"But today is Friday on the Bald Eagle's side, the box office results will definitely explode, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be Saturday, I guess they will be even more desperate, right?"

"So our film will definitely be able to continue to rise, and may even surpass the first and second films."

"Of course, as you just said, this movie is very good and shocking, and that's because the investment is very large, so it is more difficult to return to the cost."

The third movie has a lot of special effects shots, and there are several big investment shots, and the investment in a single scene shot is more than 10 million US dollars.

What's more, there are so many shots, so the investment in the entire third film has exceeded 300 million US dollars.

In addition, the global publicity fund has reached 150 million US dollars, so the total investment publicity is said to be 500 million US dollars, which is not much water.

However, with such a huge investment, it seems that the pressure to return to the capital is not great.

After all, according to the current box office trend, as long as the global box office exceeds $1.5 billion, then it can return to its original cost and start making a profit.

That is, Polygram Group is willing to spend money, or many years of willing to spend money, to create this excellent popcorn movie.

Only in this way will the box office results usher in a big bang.

"No wonder"

Xiao Budian suddenly realized, and immediately gave a thumbs up:

"Dad, you're so good at business"

Whether it's writing and drawing comics, running a business, or making investments, even movies are always victorious.

Seriously, when I meet such a father, even if I am a little small, I have to admire it.

Hot Wheels, Jing Ge'er and White Tofu also came back one after another, and they all talked about their feelings about this movie.

Just one word: cow!

The box office has taken off, not just on Hong Kong Island, but elsewhere as well.

Here in the capital, several leaders of Wenjin Street also watched the third part of Jurassic Park very rarely.

They heard that the box office of this movie was very powerful in Europe and the United States, so they took the time to watch it.

Not to mention the results, it's quite shocking.

"No wonder that kid from the Xu family is so good at making money, and he is willing to invest such a large amount of money, 500 million US dollars."

"Indeed, when I heard about the $500 million before, I wanted to call him for many years and want to say a few words about him, but now it seems that he may really be able to make a lot of money with this investment."

"If you want to make a lot of money, it's hard to be afraid, after all, it takes about $1.5 billion to recover the cost, and in Europe and the United States, it's just $1.3 or 4 billion."

When the leaders were discussing this matter, on the Bald Eagle's side, the box office on the third day also came out, which directly made Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM and other film companies collectively lose their voices.

$1350 million single-day box office!

It's unprecedented!

It's horrible!

The box office results on the third day directly crushed the results of the previous two days, and it was also the single-day crown in the box office history of Bald Eagles.

Judging from the current trend, if you don't jump the day after tomorrow, it is very likely to surpass the first part of Jurassic Park.

Columbia Pictures, Disney, and Universal Pictures were also trembling and squeaked.

The media across the United States has also gone completely crazy, and fans are even more family-oriented.

It's summer vacation, and it's time for the whole family to have a party.

And the third movie of Jurassic Park is a movie that can be watched by the whole people, which has a great effect on the box office.

The fourth day is Saturday, and the results of this day are just afraid that they will be even more terrifying, right?

On the European continent, Friday's results were soon released.

The box office of the British Isles, Gallic Chicken, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, Federal West Germany, Northern Europe, Moscow, etc., all added together, is even higher than that of the Bald Eagle Continent, reaching 1450 million US dollars.

Hiss!

In other words, the box office results of Europe and the United States on the third day together directly reached 280 million US dollars.

The box office results were reported by major media and newspapers at the first time.

For a while, it attracted more people's attention.

Many people didn't want to continue watching this movie, but when they saw this result, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Then, when I discussed it with my family, friends and colleagues, I seemed to have forgotten some scenes, so I couldn't wait to watch it again.

Even, some people directly found the first and second movies, and after watching them at home, they went to the cinema to watch the third movie.

All in all, this week of July was really crazy.

Word delivery was very fast, and newspaper sales were on the rise.

Just because the third movie of Jurassic Park was released, it was not just a movie fire, it also led to the vigorous development of many peripheral and other industries.

Tokyo, the world's second-largest single movie box office, also performed well on Friday.

A new single-day box office high: $91 million!

This result is also the highest single-day box office in Tokyo film history, a very terrifying result!

Hong Kong Island, Garden City, Medan and other places also failed to resist the invasion of dinosaurs, and still handed over a very beautiful box office report card.

In the entire Southeast Asian region, the box office performance exceeded $5,000 in one day, reaching $53 million.

It's horrible.

You must know that in Southeast Asia during this period, the people actually didn't have much money.

didn't expect their love for dinosaur movies to be so hot.

The box office performance on the mainland side is not bad, but the exchange rate between the renminbi and the US dollar during this period is somewhat different.

Therefore, if the single-day box office is converted into US dollars, it is only 20 million.

Therefore, on the third day, the box office results of the third film in Jurassic Park, the whole of Asia, directly exceeded 200 million US dollars, reaching 215 million US dollars.

Then add in South America, Australia, the Middle East and other places, and the global box office on Friday reached $550 million.

Combined with the results of the first two days, the total global box office has exceeded $1 billion, reaching $1132 million.

Hollywood giants such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Columbia suddenly became even more silent after calculating this value.

Then on Saturday, Paramount was the first to announce a reschedule, announcing a one-week retreat before re-release.

Warner Bros. and MGM looked at it, oh huh, is this to 'bully the soft and fear the hard'?

Forget it, let's wait and see!

After all, the third part of Jurassic Park is so strong now, but it's only the first week, and the decline in the second week is more than 50%, so it doesn't matter.

Even, it was cut in half?

After all, fans' enthusiasm for watching movies will be exhausted.

On Hong Kong Island, many years ago, I suddenly received a call from Wenjin Street.

He was praised by the leader.

The box office of the movie broke a billion dollars in three days, and it is no longer a problem to recover the cost, as for how much money can be made, it depends on the box office results in the second week.

"Okay, leader, I know, I'll supervise the good." (End of chapter)
