Weekend! On the last day of the first-week box office battle, all employees of Fantasy Entertainment, New Line Cinema and Warner, all are watching the North American box office anytime and anywhere!
""Spartan" has reached 6 million, which is a pretty good result, but "Harry Potter" has reached 8 million, and "Lord of the Rings" has already reached 13.5 million!" ---Two afternoons
point.
"Incredible! It's incredible! "The Lord of the Rings" already has 15 million copies, "Harry Potter" has reached over 10 million, and "Spartan" only has more than 7 million copies. China is in danger!"
"Sparta" I don't know if I can hold on!" --- 6 p.m.
"Oh my God! The box office of "Spartan" suddenly exploded, reaching as high as 10 million!" --- 8 p.m.
"Oh my god! It's a fortress! The box office of "Spartan" surged to 18 million!" ---Nine o'clock in the evening.
Under the public opinion concocted by Yi Feiyang, the American people, who firmly believed that supporting "Spartan" was supporting the United States and watching "Spartan" was helping the victims of the World Trade Organization, lost their sense and flocked to watch a movie for the first time.
In this "fanatical" state, "Spartan" was unstoppable. By 10pm on weekends, it had overtaken the show and blinded many people's eyes.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?!" This is the people from New Line Cinema yelling, "Cheating! Fantasy Entertainment must be cheating! Our "Lord of the Rings" will never lose, yes, never!"
"We really can't believe the facts before us! What happened? Why did Americans rush into the cinema to watch "Spartan" as if they were bewitched? What did China's Yi do to them?!"
is the consternation of Warner Bros.
…
"But what if "Spartan" suddenly becomes a hit? With two hours left, the box office of our "Lord of the Rings" has reached 16 million. A total of 57 million in one week! This is not the so-called "Spartan"
"Bada" can be compared! Five days to seven days. China Yi. I don't know what you have to be proud of!" After calming down, Mr. Bob, the boss of New Line Cinema, immediately became ferocious.
As for Warner, they have given up thinking about it. They know that they can only sit firmly in the third place this week. Now, they move to a small bench and wait to watch the show.
"Is it New Line's "The Lord of the Rings" that will take the top spot, or will Fantasy Entertainment be the winner? I'm really looking forward to it!" --- Warner Bros.
…
Only two hours left!
Two hours!
Enough for what?!
Play a few rounds of mahjong and have a drink? Or find a beautiful woman to have fun in bed?!
Therefore, in such a short period of time, no one believed that "Sparta" could turn defeat into victory, because everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
"China Yi, this time it is certain to lose!"
"Alas, the magical Yang is no longer magical!"
"It doesn't matter if you scold me. In fact, I quite expect China to fail!"
"Yeah, who makes him always create miracles? Occasionally failing will make people even more surprised!"
…
Everyone came to a conclusion.
"Humph! It's not over yet!" Although Yi Feiyang was nervous, he was still confident, because there will be the last show after ten o'clock. This show is good for "Spartan", after all, young people like to watch "Lord of the Rings"
A little more, even many, many are students. They should go home and sleep at this time, right?
But "Sparta" is different. This drama is aimed at adults, a large portion of the audience who like action and excitement, and history and flesh and blood. As long as they are willing to come in and watch, then everything will be okay.
There is a chance!
Yes, there is still a chance!
A chance to turn around!
…
The clock keeps ticking!
The second hand kills time.
Ding dong!
Eleven o'clock, fifty!
Today’s box office statistics are finally out---
"The Lord of the Rings" is still crazy, grossing $16.5 million at the box office, and the total box office reached an astonishing $57.5 million!
New Line broke its own record, and "Lord of the Rings" became one of the top-grossing first-week movies of all time in North America.
Looking back at "Sparta", it was... 23 million!
That's right! That's 23 million. Adding the 35 million accumulated before, the total box office reached 58 million US dollars!
Fifty-eight million!
Fifty-seven and a half million!
At the last moment, "Spartan" actually defeated "Lord of the Rings" and achieved a jaw-dropping gorgeous counterattack!!!
…
"Boss, the first week box office in North America is out, "Lord of the Rings" 57.5 million, "Spartan" 58 million! It's 500,000 higher than the other party, we won!" Fat Jack was so excited that he almost jumped!
"Haha, I did win, what a fluke!" Yi Feiyang laughed and was in a good mood.
Next to him, Dures was sweating, "It's so dangerous!"
Fatty Gao Jiabao: "I told you that Ayan would win, this kid is a magician!"
Rabbit Bill: "Don't be an afterthought, I've always been mad at my boss!"
"Lift the boss up, yeah! Victory! Victory!"
The entire Fantasy Entertainment fell into a carnival.
…
The next day, the North American weekly box office rankings were officially released ---
The first place is "300" produced by Fantasy Entertainment and directed by Yi Feiyang, with a box office of US$58 million.
The second place is "The Lord of the Rings" produced by New Line Cinema and directed by Peter Jackson, with a box office of US$57.5 million.
In third place, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was produced by Warner Bros. and directed by Chris Columbus, with a box office of US$49.37 million.
…
"Oh my God!" Media critics, filmmakers, and movie fans all exclaimed when they saw the latest North American box office rankings: "Wow~~"
It used to be so ridiculous to say that "Sparta" might be Yi Feiyang's magical tomb, but now the result is soaring into the sky, making everyone's jaws drop!
"God, it's incredible!"
"Another new miracle!"
"True to be the Son of God!"
…
Amid the admiration of everyone, Yi Feiyang actually ridiculed New Line's "The Lord of the Rings" on the official website like a villain: "Blockbusters may not win. Movies that win may not necessarily win! Wearing the Lord of the Rings may not necessarily
He is a king. A true king does not necessarily wear a magic ring!"
A tongue-twisting joke that directly made Mr. Bob, the boss of New Line Company, red-faced and extremely depressed.
Taking first place at the box office in its first week, coupled with its good reputation, "Spartan" has great staying power. It grossed more than 60 million in its second week, and "The Lord of the Rings" is not far behind and has been chasing after it.
, in view of the power of blockbusters, many theaters have been added, especially in terms of overseas box office. The overseas demand for this magical blockbuster has led to continuous additional performances in many countries such as Europe and Asia, and the total overseas box office directly exceeded "Spartan"
Become the overlord.
As a result, a very strange situation has been formed: in North America, "Spartan" has become the well-deserved box office king, winning the North American weekly box office champion for three consecutive weeks; while in overseas regions, "The Lord of the Rings" and
"Harry Potter" is very popular, especially "Lord of the Rings". Its dominance is hard to shake.
At the end of the Christmas period, there will be some other movies released. But because of the two big money-grabbing monsters "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", plus the existence of the heaven-defying monster "Spartan", basically all of them cannon fodder
Got it!
Finally, the Christmas box office war is over. Box office performance statistics: the fantasy entertainment movie "Spartan" has a global total of more than 730 million US dollars, and a North American box office of more than 480 million US dollars. It was the first week box office champion in North America.
New Line Cinema's "Lord of the Rings" is even more powerful, with a global total of more than 810 million. However, for the first time, the North American box office is not as large as "Spartan", with more than 430 million, narrowly missing out on "Spartan".
As for "Harry Potter" produced by Warner Bros., the global box office was 670 million and North America was 320 million, making it the third among the three.
The reason for this result is that the types of films are different.
In the final analysis, "The Lord of the Rings" is a special effects blockbuster that is very suitable for overseas audiences. You know, Hollywood blockbusters are famous for being "first-rate"!
But "300" is different. Although the war scenes were also shot very excitingly, the storyline only satisfied the psychology of the American audience. However, the main reason why Americans watched this drama was
For "patriotism"!
Now, the box office war is finally over.
"300" only invested 25 million US dollars, but it received more than 700 million in box office. Compared with "Lord of the Rings" which invested hundreds of millions and finally received 800 million in box office, it can definitely apply for the Guinness Book of World Records.
Except for the 1999 "Ghost Eyes" which can compete with it, there is no other film that can compare with Yi Feiyang's movie.
In this regard, the film critic also laughed and said: "This movie by China Yi has made enough eyeballs, US dollars, and countless popularity."
As for Yi Feiyang personally, he just broke through himself again.
As for the Oscars, Directors Guild Awards, etc., Yi Feiyang is not pursuing it very much now. If he can win, then he will win. If he can't get it, Yi Feiyang doesn't care. Anyway, this year's Golden Raspberry
Yi Feiyang's name will definitely not appear on the list of winners of the award.
This point will disappoint many of Yi Feiyang's opponents.
With the flow of profits and the return of funds, the actors' remuneration was also paid as soon as possible. Although at the beginning, Mel Gibson only received a salary of 10 million US dollars for his friendly appearance, but he still has to give what is due.
Yes, Yi Feiyang generously paid Mel Gibson 30 million, Clinton 10 million, Stormi 7 million, Jason Statham 3 million...
After that, there will be other personnel, bonuses, and salaries, all of which will be paid together.
The movie was successfully released, the company employees were also very happy, and everyone had a happy ending.
Being able to win such a situation, Yi Feiyang was very satisfied.
Today, at the celebration party for "Spartan", everyone including Yi Feiyang, Gibson, Clinton, Stormy, Statham, and even Old Max were extremely happy. Even Anne Hesser, who didn't drink alcohol at first.
Weidu drank two drinks for the first time!
"Yi, can I also invest in the next movie?" Although he earned a salary of 30 million U.S. dollars, compared with the box office of more than 700 million U.S. dollars, Mel Gibson always felt that he suffered a big loss. At this moment, he took advantage of the opportunity
Jiu Jin said to Yi Feiyang resentfully.
"Haha, no, we have enough funds now!" Yi Feiyang laughed and looked at Gibson with some amusement.
"You make me so sad!"
Suddenly, there was laughter.
"Yi, I'm really curious about how your head grows. Each movie is a classic! And the box office is so good. It's completely unreasonable that even this kind of movie can achieve such a high box office!" Clinton
He also said with a funny smile.
"His existence is unreasonable!" The charming Stormy gave Yi Feiyang a wink.
"Um? Existence doesn't make sense?" Yi Feiyang was startled. It's true! His own existence is inherently unreasonable. If he hadn't traveled through time, would he still have these things? He doesn't know what will happen because of his sudden appearance.
The butterfly effect?
All in all, "300" finally ended perfectly, leaving only some trivial things to deal with.
From the outside world, the Christmas movie company war has come to an end, but for Yi Feiyang, it has just begun.
According to Yi Feiyang's vengeful temper, I will return double what others give me!
And this time, his target is New Line Cinema! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
