Midnight screenings have always been an important statistic when a new movie is first released, including box office reputation, attendance rate, etc. On the night of June 26, three movies released tomorrow will take the lead in competing at midnight screenings.
In a Wanda cinema in Shanghai, Zhao Meili and Si Jiayi, Li Hyuk's top fans, naturally went to support Li Hyuk's new movie "Interstellar". Although Li Hyuk only played a small supporting role, it was also the beginning of Li Hyuk's international career.
The symbol of the path of transformation.
"Jiayi, how about we watch "The Breakup Master" tomorrow?" Zhao Meili took the popcorn and shared it with her best friends.
There are still more than 20 minutes before the movie starts. This cinema is in a good location. It's almost 12 o'clock in the morning and there are still people coming and going. Most of them are movie fans who come to watch the midnight show.
Si Jiayi was eating popcorn and drinking milk tea. After hearing this, she said: "Don't you hate Da Mi Mi the most? You hate that she took Chi Chi away."
"Oh, it's different this time. Look at how well this movie got its title, "The Breakup Master"..." Zhao Meili said.
"Tch, it's just the name of the movie. They haven't really broken up, so don't think about it. You already have children. Do you want Chi Chi to be a single father?" Si Jiayi was speechless at her best friend's thoughts.
"That's right, forget it, let's let them reunite for the time being, and we won't eat them until the children grow up." Zhao Meili fell into fantasy.
A movie theater in Beijing was also overcrowded at this time. Gao Siji and his girlfriend came to watch the movie together. Because of their relationship with Li Hyuk's movies, although the two were not fans of Li Hyuk, they would watch every time Li Hyuk's new movie was released.
Come to support, but Gao Siji is also a loyal fan of the Transformers series, so he is a little hesitant.
"Honey, hurry up and decide which movie you want to watch?" my girlfriend urged.
Gao Siji fell into difficulty in choosing and asked his girlfriend: "Which movie do you think we should watch first?"
"I tell you, it's not too late to go see Transformers tomorrow, and the tickets for the midnight show are all sold out now. Buy your tickets quickly, because the tickets for "Interstellar" will be gone soon."
"Oh, okay..."
Simply put, "Interstellar" can't compare to "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction", so its midnight attendance is naturally not as good as the other one. And "The Breakup Master" is trembling between two blockbusters. Deng Chao's wish at this time
Just don't lose money.
Looking at the many years that Hollywood movies have entered the Chinese film market, in the past few years, Hollywood movies have all completed the crushing of domestic movies. This situation has changed slightly in recent years. But there has never been a domestic movie in two Hollywood super blockbusters.
Survive tenaciously, the environment of "The Breakup Master" is very dangerous.
After a restless night, Deng Chao waited for the box office statistics of the midnight show...
"How is the box office situation?" Not only Deng Chao, but also the main creators such as Da Mimi are very concerned.
The assistant opened the report and reported: "The box office of the midnight show was 20.096 million, the number of screenings was 15,000, the average attendance rate was 35.6%, the average audience score was B, and the box office ranked second."
Deng Chao breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Where are the other two films?"
The assistant continued to answer: ""Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" has a box office of 20.853 million, with 4,782 screenings, an attendance rate of 97.6%, an average audience score of B-, and the highest midnight box office."
"It is indeed a Hollywood blockbuster. The number of screenings is less than one-third of ours, but it has achieved such a high midnight box office." Reba, who was promoting it together, said.
"This is a 3D movie, and the average ticket price is higher than ours, and the attendance rate is terrible, but the reputation is a little bit bad," Deng Chao said.
Everyone is helpless. "The Breakup Master" is a domestically produced film, which has some convenience in terms of distribution. It got 15,000 midnight screenings, but it still couldn't compete with the Autobots. They really tried their best.
Da Mi Mi was very concerned about the situation of her husband's new movie, and quickly asked: "What about "Interstellar"? How is the situation?"
The assistant opened the report and continued reading: "'Interstellar' has a box office of 14.762 million, 3259 screenings, an attendance rate of 83.4%, and an average audience score of A+."
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, not only because of the good reputation of "Interstellar", but also because the film has achieved a box office of 14.762 million with more than 3,000 midnight screenings. If there were more screenings, I am afraid that "The Breakup"
Master》Chrysanthemums are not guaranteed.
"The reputation of this movie is also quite good. It seems to have great staying power!" Deng Chao was the only one present who attended the premiere. He could tell if it was a good movie. Film critics and media had already praised "Interstellar" before.
.
Da Mi Mi helplessly spread his hands and said, "Now you don't have to worry about losing money. You just have to make fun of that annoying bastard again when you go back."
Everyone laughed and laughed, Deng Chao clapped his hands and said: "Okay everyone, now the pressure is coming, so we have to do a good job in all-round publicity, everyone, come on."
"come on……"
The crews of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "Interstellar" have both left China to launch global promotions. After all, there is still such a big market, while "The Breakup Master" can only be domestically produced, and no one knows them abroad.
.This is also the helplessness of domestic films. One or two filmmakers alone cannot change it. From the policies above to the content of film creation below, it all requires hard work.
After all, Hollywood has been pursuing internationalization for decades, and Chinese-language films cannot catch up overnight.
Freelance writer Cheng Ji just watched "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" last night. After watching it, he was disgusted. This is obviously a money-making work. So after Cheng Ji returned home yesterday, he wrote about it on Douban and Weibo
A reviewer of the feature film criticized the film as useless.
This naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Autobot fans, so the two sides engaged in a passionate battle on Weibo, and many passerby movie fans who had watched the movie joined in. In addition, the movie was indeed bad, and Autobot fans quickly collapsed.
However, the Autobot fans said well that although the movie was bad, the box office was high. So an angry Cheng decided to watch "Interstellar" because he wanted to support good movies.
But when I watched it, I felt like I had discovered a unique treasure. After watching the first show, I couldn’t wait to buy the tickets for the second show, ready to study the film thoroughly.
There are many situations like Cheng Ji's. Although "Interstellar" is difficult to understand, it is not difficult to watch. Movie fans repeatedly explore the gorgeous space. Regarding the gravitational waves, black holes, wormholes, planets with different wonders, the theory of time relativity, etc. in the film
All have been hotly discussed by movie fans.
On Zhihu, Tieba, and forums, various bosses give their own opinions on various scientific principles in the movie. At Station B, well-known film and television UP owners not only complained about the other two bad movies, but also launched a discussion on "Interstellar"
Dayton praised.
Videos such as "Thirty Things You Must Know About Interstellar Crossing" and "Basics of Scientific Principles of Interstellar Crossing" have received quite a high number of clicks.
The most important thing is that the film's reputation remains high, and there are many viewers who watch it twice or three times. Under such circumstances, the competition for the box office of the three movies in the first week has become confusing.
