On February 1st, hundreds of theaters in various regions of North America began to officially screen "Death".
Wang Shang and others couldn't sit still at all, so they organized groups to go to the cinema to see the screening of "Death is Coming". They were anxious and wanted to see the results as soon as possible.
When they arrived at one of the movie theaters in Los Angeles that was showing "Death", they were surprised to find that there seemed to be quite a lot of moviegoers watching the movie today.
"Today happens to be Sunday. It seems that "Death is Coming" has been scheduled to be released on a good day."
Several people came to the ticket office. Wang Shang and the others saw the promotional poster for "Death Is Coming" placed in a conspicuous place on the roadside. Wang Shang pushed Xie Tingfeng, pointed at the poster and smiled: "How about this one for the left eye?"
Do the holes make you look vulgar?"
"Obscene?" Xie Tingfeng looked at the photo and said with a bitter smile, "It's eerie! Mr. Wang, your choice of words is too cruel and inhumane..."
But Wang Shang and the others quickly focused their attention on the ticket sales.
A young man bought a ticket: "Is there any "The Legend of the Bear" yet?"
"Sorry, its tickets have been sold out."
"Do you have any movie recommendations?"
"Sir, would you like to play the game "Death Comes"? Its movie of the same name is released today."
"The movie Death Comes? Oh, I almost forgot about it! That's it, give me one!!" He looked extremely surprised, and he was probably a Death fan.
Most of the people who followed came directly to "Death is Coming". It was obvious that the promotion of Paramount and Ubisoft Game Company was very good.
There are also some people who watch movies aimlessly. The ticket seller recommended "Death is Coming" to them.
When Wang Shang saw this scene, he turned around with a smile and said to the others: "Is this conductor a fan of "Death is Coming"? We have to thank her very much."
At this time, some movie fans in the waiting room pointed at Wang Shang.
Soon after, several fans came over with joy and said in broken Chinese: "Hi, are you Nicholas Tse, Xie Tingfeng?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the poster.
"That's me. Are you here to see it?"
Seeing Xie Tingfeng admit it, they were not as excited as Wang Shang imagined. They were just a little excited: "We like the game "The God of Death" very much. We will watch it later to see what the movie is like..."
A few people chatted in Chinese, took a few photos together, and the movie almost started.
Wang Shang walked to the ticket office: "I want six movie tickets. How many seats are available?"
The conductor said directly in blunt Chinese: "There are only a few seats left in the front and a few in the corners at the back."
Wang Shang was overjoyed when he heard this: "How many are left? It seems that the attendance rate of "Death is Coming" is good."
Wang Shang quickly bought movie tickets and the group walked into the cinema.
After entering the cinema, Wang Shang and the others faintly heard some discussions.
"I have never been able to understand Chinese movies. I don't know how this movie is. I hope it won't ruin the game. I only played "Death Is Coming"..."
"I also came here for the game. I hope the movie won't be too bad..."
After Wang Shang heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose. It seemed that Chinese movies had not given a good impression to American movie fans.
Xie Tingfeng came over and whispered: "It's really frustrating."
Wang Shang smiled at him confidently: "Don't worry, "The God of Death" will be the first step for Chinese films to conquer the North American market! In the future, more and more films will land on this land and conquer this land!"
"After "Death Comes" is released, we will all be famous in this country!"
After Wang Shang and the others found their seats, the movie started playing.
The pre-roll advertisement at the beginning was very long, and it took about ten minutes before the opening animation of Tianwang Studio was broadcast. In addition to the two metal sci-fi characters "Endless Starry Sky" and "Uranus", an English name was also designed to cater to American tastes.
.
The movie soon started playing.
The movie still uses the original Chinese sound, and the subtitles are in English. Because Chinese is a universal education in North America, these American audiences can probably still understand it, and there are English subtitles to assist, so they can watch the movie without any obstacles.
The weird and eerie background music and shots at the beginning of the movie quickly attracted everyone, and the entire screening room was filled with only the sound of the movie.
Not long after the beginning, the scene of the plane exploding caught their eyes, and even those of them who were accustomed to watching blockbusters couldn't help but cheer.
Then, the death of the first character and the words of the coroner made everyone nervous...
The female student was hit by a car and her flesh was bruised. The teacher was stabbed in the neck by glass shards. After panicking, a knife was stabbed in the chest. The male student had his head cut off with a patch, and high-voltage wires...
The thrilling scenes made many viewers scream from time to time...
Finally, after a male classmate was smashed to pieces by a falling neon sign because he saved the protagonist Pang Hua, everyone in the theater collectively lost their voice!
After a long time, they came to their senses and breathed heavily.
"marvelous!!"
“So exciting!!”
“I almost can’t breathe!!”
"This is one of the best movies I've ever seen!!"
Obviously, "Death is Coming" successfully conquered all audiences with its fast pace, strict logical reasoning, and exciting plot!
"I still don't understand a lot. I feel like there should be a lot of hints in the movie, but I just ignored the past. I want to watch it again."
"Yes, I want to watch it again."
Wang Shang and several others looked at each other and smiled: "Success!!"
Just as Wang Shang and others thought, "Death is Coming" was really successful in its release in North America. It showed surprising box office capabilities in North America.
On the first day it was released, it attracted many fans of the game "The God of Death". Although they did not have confidence in the movie produced by China, the subsequent plot deeply moved them.
After reading it, I praised it even more!!
On that day, "Death Comes Out" became the most popular movie on IMDB, the largest movie data platform in North America.
Countless movie fans poured in to express their amazement at "Death Comes" and described the movie with extremely complimentary words.
"This is a different kind of movie!"
"It will become a classic thriller!"
"Although it is a Chinese film, it feels like an American film to me. It's great!"
While they were extremely complimentary, they also went above and beyond in giving high scores, directly pushing the score to 9.0.
The next afternoon, Paramount sent over the first-day box office data that Wang Shang and the others were eagerly anticipating.
The box office of "Death Comes" on its first day on February 1st was US$4.3 million, with an attendance rate of 72%!
Wang Shang and the others were pleasantly surprised, the attendance rate was good. The 4.3 million U.S. dollars was converted into RMB, which is more than 39 million, which is definitely much more than in China.
And this is only the first day. As its reputation continues to spread, it will surely become more popular.
As if to confirm Wang Shang's idea, in the following days, the box office of "Death Is Coming" began to gradually rise!
There are countless people queuing up to buy tickets everywhere in the cinema, which is in sharp contrast to the declining attendance of other movies!
Countless movie fans have praised it and highly recommended it to other relatives and friends!
Thanks to the good reputation and Paramount's timing and continuous promotion, the appeal of the movie version of "Death is Coming" is constantly increasing and it is starting to become popular.
In the following days, the attendance rate remained at an astonishing high of 71%.
After Wang Shang saw this data, he was overjoyed and couldn't help complaining that there were so many unemployed young people in the United States.
On Saturday, the staff began to take a break, and the attendance rate of "The God of Death" directly increased to 85%. It was terrifying, and Wang Shang and the others were even more excited after hearing the news.
On Monday, February 9th, "Death Comes" successfully completed its first week of release in North America.
North American weekly box office data is freshly released.
The first place is Finding Nemo, with a weekly box office of US$55 million.
In second place is Daredevil, with a weekly box office of $53 million.
The third place... is the familiar name "The God of Death is Coming"!!
"Death is Here", weekly box office of 31 million US dollars!!
"Wow!!! $31 million!!"
"31 million U.S. dollars! Converted into RMB, it should be 280 million!! That's crazy!!"
Several people cheered, hugged wildly, celebrated wildly, and shouted wildly!
Soon after, they received another call from Paramount: After negotiations between Paramount and major theater chains in North America, starting tomorrow, the number of movie screens for "Death is Coming" will increase by 800, bringing the total to 2,000
piece.
2000 screens!!
Wang Shang and the others were excited! They all ran to a nearby bar to celebrate.
What once again delighted them was that they met many fans of "Death is Coming" in the bar. They surrounded Xie Tingfeng and said excitedly: "Are you Pang Hua? Are you the actors in "Death is Coming"?"
"Pang Hua, you are so handsome, give me your autograph!!"
“I love this movie so much!!”
"How did you take the photo? It's wonderful!!"
"Can I take a photo with you?"
A bunch of American young people surrounded Wang Shang and the others, and Wang Shang and the others immediately felt that the popularity of "Death is Coming" had spread throughout North America.
In the next few days, "Death is Coming" really lived up to expectations. In the eyes of movie theaters, Paramount, Wang Shang and others, the box office continued to be a hit. Countless movie fans and game fans flocked to the cinema to see "Death is Coming"!
Cinemas have reduced other movies with low attendance and began to increase the number of screenings of "Death Comes".
2200 yuan!
2300 yuan!!
By February 16th (Monday), the number of screens quickly increased to 2,600, which surprised many Hollywood stars!
By the afternoon, last week’s box office was finally out.
The box office of "Dead Man" in its second week was - US$52 million!!!
The cheers are boiling!!!

PS: I checked the North American box office and the name of the North American film market. It turns out that Canada and the United States are one in the film market, so they are called North America, North America...
