That night, the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" had a simple party with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, which ended from about 8 to 12 o'clock in the evening, and the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" flew directly from Hong Kong to Tokyo that night.

A few people had a good night's sleep on the plane, and although they were not comfortable in bed, they could get enough sleep for three or four hours.

When they arrived in Tokyo, they went to the hotel to sleep.

It's Saturday, but it's impossible to do an event at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, right? This allows the crew to go back to the hotel and sleep for another three or four hours, and even have time to take care of themselves.

But at this time, the box office on the second day also came out, and everyone was staring at it to see if there would be a good performance, at least according to yesterday's performance, it can only be on par with his "Mermaid", so it's hard to say whether it can break through.

Although the box office of "Mermaid" has been so good that it has exploded, the media and the audience have different expectations, for a big director like He Fang, it is not good if there is no growth, that is Waterloo.

Everyone didn't say anything about whether the box office was good or bad on the first day, but they all saw it, and some media even wanted to write some negative reports to attract attention.

Therefore, the box office performance on the first day of the Lunar New Year is very important, but it is a pity that the box office information of the Chinese mainland at 0:00 on February 1 has already made those reporters who are ready to move more anxious......

Because the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" Chinese mainland the first day of the Lunar New Year is very stable, with a revenue of 239.02 million, or 239 million, this data is really ...... In a wait-and-see mood, although this has broken the box office record held by He Fang Film last time on the first day of the Spring Festival, but ......

The first Spring Festival movie is "Pacific Rim" in 2012, the box office on the first day of the New Year is 21.08 million, the second Spring Festival movie is "The Origin of the White Snake" in 2013, and the box office on the first day of the New Year is 92.43 million, and now the third Spring Festival movie is "Edge of Tomorrow", and the box office on the first day of the New Year is 239 million, which is a leap forward compared to the head blockbuster of the Spring Festival.

But...... Compared with the previous He Fang's movie "Mermaid", the box office feels like it has fallen, after all, the mermaid's next-day box office is 247 million, so ...... Journalists are really on the sidelines.

As soon as the box office in North America and the rest of the world came out on the second day, some media reporters began to collapse.

Because the second-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in North America was $19.2 million, while the box office in the rest of the world was $34.56 million, which is lower than the $21.67 million in North America on the second day of "Mermaid" and the $52.87 million on the second day in the rest of the world.

Now the media reporters are excited, it is impossible that the combination of Leonardo + Fan Bingbing is still no match for Deng Chao + Zhang Yuqi + super newcomer Jing Tian, right? Then this is funny, two top international stars can't compete with the combination of China's first-class male stars and two ordinary actresses.

And the production, scenes, and investment of "Edge of Tomorrow" are far from being comparable to "Mermaid", right? So this ...... If you lose to "The Mermaid", it will be really big news.

"He Fang's new movie Waterloo, the box office in the first two days is no match for [Mermaid] two days ago"

"[Edge of Tomorrow] with an investment of 190 million production costs is no match for [Mermaid] with an investment of 80 million US dollars"

"Where are you going to step down from the altar?" 》

"Where Commercial Movies No Longer Sell"

Top 10 Reasons for Waterloo

"[Edge of Tomorrow] is just a game concept of repeating and upgrading to fight monsters for a day, lacking the artistry of a movie"

"Commercial Films Have No Stamina After All"

……

When they woke up, they found that the entire public opinion had changed drastically, and the crew was a little confused, and there was still this? They looked at the analysis of the media commentary and felt that what they said made sense......

"What do you think I'm doing? I can't control the box office, but I don't believe that the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" can't do "Mermaid", the day before yesterday was Thursday, yesterday was Friday, and today is the point. Let's come on and promote, believe me, "Edge of Tomorrow" is higher than "Mermaid" in terms of story, scenes, and production, and I believe the audience will also see it. ”

He explained to the stares of the crew, and Leonardo spread his hands.

"I don't care, anyway, my films don't do box office, of course, the second highest grossing movie in the world is starring me."

"You're so pretending to be a force!" He Fang was speechless.

"Haha......" Leonardo really doesn't care much, if he cares, he has been working on commercial films over the years.

"It's pretty much it, it doesn't matter if the box office can surpass "The Mermaid", as long as the box office can exceed a billion dollars. It's hard to make anyone's movies higher than the other. Except, of course, Cameron. Fan Bingbing said.

He Fang smiled, and the two of them replied that they didn't care that the box office was lower than "The Mermaid".

What Fan Bingbing said makes sense, no director can always make the box office of a movie higher than the previous one, not even Cameron.

For example, his "Avatar 2" can't compete with "Avatar 1", and the director will experience this.

Although He Fang understands, he still doesn't believe that the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" can't beat "Mermaid......

So when they appeared at the promotional venue in Ginza, they were questioned by reporters about the 'poor' box office.

"Who is the director, the Chinese media broke out that the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is not as good as your "Mermaid", saying that Ling's movie suffered Waterloo, what do you think about this?"

"The movie has only been released for two days, and it's too early to talk about the final results at the box office, and when you watch the movie a week or two after its release, I'm sure the results will be clearer at that time." He Fang is very confident.

"I mean, do you think Edge of Tomorrow still has a chance to surpass The Mermaid?" The journalist asked.

He Fang was stunned for a moment, there is a trap in this question, he said that he can exceed, what if he doesn't exceed it by then? If he says 'not necessarily' or 'tries to exceed', wouldn't he even admit that he is inferior to "The Mermaid"? Will market confidence be hindered?

"Of course, I'm confident, I don't believe everyone will know after tracking the box office in the second week." He Fang is really full of confidence, this is no way, he can't help him, he can't coax him, what should I do if the fans hesitate?

"Leonardo, what do you think about this?" The reporter went to ask Leonardo.

"I think both are very good movies, it doesn't matter who is high and who is low, of course you have to compete for the high, of course I hope that the movie starring me can get a higher box office." Leonardo tilted his head and pouted.

"Fan Bingbing, the Chinese media said that if the box office waterloo of "Edge of Tomorrow" proves that your box office appeal can't beat the second-generation Fang Girl and Zhang Yuqi. What do you think? The reporter asked.

"What do you think? I don't think much of it. Because every day someone says who is the one who oppresses Fan Bingbing, who is who oppresses Fan Bingbing, I am used to it, I am me, I will act in every movie with my heart, the box office is good and better, it is not good to prove that the effort is not enough, continue to work hard. ”

Fan Bingbing doesn't bother to respond to these news that rub her popularity, shouting every day to suppress her and suppress her, the more you respond, the more they rub up, and then take advantage of this to earn a wave of traffic.

Someone used Jing Tian to withstand the pressure, and Fan Bingbing looked down on Fan Bingbing for stealing beams and changing pillars, you have the ability to fight in the ring alone, what does it mean to put Jing Tian in front?

Fan Bingbing's agent, Yang Tianzhen, was very angry when she heard this, so she picked up her mobile phone and was texting next to her.

Is it really good to be the heat of her family's Fan Ye? This kind of thing has to be responded to......

Of course, all of this is in his eyes, and he is not good at interfering with the matter of actors competing for coffee positions and resources with each other.

Isn't this a common thing in the entertainment industry?

After facing a series of problems, the crew's publicity continued, and fans in the island country still like He Fang and Fan Bingbing, the two Chinese stars, who has the talent to conquer them, and Fan Bingbing is beautiful and can overwhelm the female stars in the island country.

None of the female stars in the island country have a strong aura like Fan Bingbing, they all keep bangs and pretend to be cute, and then always show a sweet smile and grovel on various occasions.

But Fan Bingbing is different, the attack is full of momentum, the facial features are beautiful, and the body is hot, and the men in the island country are drooling when they look at it.

Not to mention Leonardo, the people of the island country are admirers of beauty, and they are dominated by the United States, so the superstars of the upper country are coming, can they not be crazy?

Of course, there is another reason why island fans like "Edge of Tomorrow", that is, this is a movie adapted from the island country's anime, this is their glory.

How can they relax when they are not doing publicity in Tokyo? Even Leonardo knew that there was a lot of fun to do in Tokyo.

So...... Leonardo flew solo to play.

He Fang and Fan Bingbing went to the hot springs, in February of the solar calendar, the weather in Tokyo is not cold in the first month of the lunar calendar.

Something happened in the hot spring, this is not a new thing, the real thing is that Fan Bingbing soaked in the hot spring for a while and got tired, and then went back to the hotel to sleep.

After all, the more they soaked in this hot spring, the more tired they became, and they also did some physical exercise in the hot spring, which aggravated Fan Bingbing's fatigue.

And He Fang continued to soak in the hot springs, in the misty hot springs, he smoked cigarettes, ate some snacks, and soaked comfortably.

After a while, a figure came over in the mist, and the woman nodded slightly to He Fang, who smiled.

"Aragaki, long time no see."

"Hey, Director He, long time no see."

"Well, come, come and sit, I'll check if you've grown up in this time."

"Yes, don't believe the director to give it a try?"

"Okay."

……

Sure enough, Aragaki Yui's skills have taken to the next level......

On February 1, the box office of Chinese mainland on the third day of the new year was 281.08 million, or 281 million yuan, North America box office 26.5 million US dollars, and the rest of the world box office 47.7 million US dollars.

Although the box office on the third day in China and North America exceeded the box office of "Mermaid" on the third day in China and North America, the box office "Mermaid" in other parts of the world received 57.11 million, while "Edge of Tomorrow" only got 47.7 million, so the media is still saying that "Edge of Tomorrow" is not as good as "Mermaid".

On February 2, the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" went to Seoul to promote, and those who questioned it were excited after the box office came out on the 3rd, because the data showed that "Mermaid" was better.

Because on February 2, the box office in Chinese mainland reached 310.76 million, that is, 310 million yuan, directly exceeding 300 million in a single day, which is already a fierce batch. The box office in North America also came to 26.68 million US dollars, breaking the record for the best single-day box office in North America for He Fang Movie.

It's just that...... The box office in other parts of the world still only got 47.62 million, which failed to surpass the single-day highest in the rest of the world in the rest of the world.

With the end of the box office on February 2, the box office of the first week is also burning. "Edge of Tomorrow" received 988 million yuan in the first week in Chinese mainland, about 159.44 million US dollars, 159 million US dollars, North America got 83.11 million US dollars, the rest of the world received 150 million US dollars, and the global box office in the first week was 392 million US dollars.

It is precisely because the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the first week was $392 million that media reporters were excited, because "Mermaid" got $333 million in the first week, do you think that the first week of "Mermaid" is lower than "Edge of Tomorrow"? That's because "The Mermaid" grossed $333 million in its first three days, while "Edge of Tomorrow" had four days in its first week.

In other words, "Edge of Tomorrow" only grossed $60 million more than "The Mermaid", which was released for three days, which is obviously worse than "The Mermaid".

When they arrived in Seoul, a reporter asked this question, who was made to shake his head again and again, who is leading this boring topic?

What is the purpose of proving that "Edge of Tomorrow" is worse than "Mermaid" at the box office? Prove that the combination of Leonardo + Fan Bingbing is not as good as the combination of Deng Chao + Zhang Yuqi + Jing Tian?

Or is it to prove that where is already going downhill, so where to deify?

Or are they playing something else?

It's just why don't they compare themselves to others? But do you want to compare "Edge of Tomorrow" with his own "Mermaid"?

Does this feel weird? Is it that there is no comparison with others, and there is no one who can compare with anything? So I have to compare where in eight months to where I was eight months ago with where I was eight months ago?

Anyway, I don't know, let's see.

On February 3, the crew promoted in Seoul, but ...... the stamina of "Edge of Tomorrow" was revealed, and on the first day of the second week, China won 278.6 million yuan because it was in the Spring Festival, which is not surprising.

The key is that the box office in North America has not fallen much, February 3 is Monday, "Edge of Tomorrow" still received $10.91 million, and although the box office in the rest of the world has fallen below 20 million, it is also at a high level of $19.64 million.

This has created a situation where although the performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the first week is not as good as "Mermaid", its stamina is far stronger than "Mermaid", and the hype is silent.

Next, I went to Singapore on the 4th, Kuala Lumpur on the 5th, Ho Chi Minh City on the 6th, Bangkok on the 7th, Jakarta on the 8th, and Manila on the 9th.

At this point, the promotion of "Edge of Tomorrow" has ended, and the box office of the second week has been released, and the box office of Chinese mainland has received 1.586 billion yuan, or 259 million US dollars, in the second week. Since it is a Spring Festival file, the data is very fierce, and the box office from the fourth to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year is 278.6 million yuan, 286.2 million, 262.3 million, 259 million, 205.8 million, 154.1 million, and 140.4 million respectively.

According to statistics, if only the end of the Spring Festival holiday on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is counted, then "Edge of Tomorrow" won a box office of 1.8156 billion yuan during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, seven days, seven days, the total domestic box office of "Mermaid" is only 2.384 billion, or "Edge of Tomorrow" won 1.8156 billion in seven days, is this still better?
