December 31st, the last day of pre-sale box office, is 5pm North American time.
The seven-day pre-sales of "Black Moon Project 3" reached US$83 million.
And that's just North America.
You know, when Xia Yu was at the height of her popularity, she won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, and Dai Chengbi won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, the pre-sales in China within seven days only amounted to 1.7 billion Chinese dollars, which was barely enough when converted into US dollars.
Reaching 25 million...
Many movies, so-called science fiction and fantasy blockbusters, have been released for a month or even a month and a half, but their total box office is less than 100 million US dollars.
"Black Moon Project 1" became a hit all over the world, and its pre-sale box office in North America was only over 60 million.
Elbert Blasquez's box office appeal is evident.
"Black Moon Project 3" is as sharp as it is, but "Twilight 1" is not as showy.
It can’t be said that no one cares about it, but the seven-day pre-sale box office finally barely reached 8 million. This 8 million US dollars in pre-sale box office is still the contribution of the fans of the "Twilight Series" novels - it is Mindelli Pictures, in
The number of films scheduled by the theaters below has reached 50%.
The whole world is focusing on "Black Moon Project 3", waiting for Elbert Blasquez's epic feast...
Who still remembers "Twilight", which has been fermenting for a while, with no one above the second-tier actors, a group of street actors, and a directing team?
The pre-sale has started, and Hedy Thurman has already purchased movie tickets for the two movies "Twilight 1" and "Black Moon Project 3"... Contrary to his original idea, Hedi Thurman chose Mindli Films for the premiere.
"Twilight·1" under the banner of
The second show was "Black Moon Project 3" scheduled for theaters under Mindli Films on the same day...
The theater chain under Victoria Pictures also has film schedules for "Twilight 1", but only 2.5% - this is an industry regulation.
Just like Mindelli Films will also have a schedule for "Black Moon Project 3".
But because of the magnitude, it was more than twice as much...for "Black Moon Project 3", the number of films shot reached 8.7%!
Victoria Pictures is also very skilled in its tricks. It has arranged the film for "Twilight 1", and it is not available in all movie theaters... At least in North America, the urban theaters ranked in the top 30 in terms of economic population and population cannot be seen -
—If you want to see it, you can only go to the countryside!
Hedy Thurman was helpless. She originally planned to go to the nearest Victoria Film Cinema within one kilometer to watch it, but... because she was not scheduled to watch "Twilight 1", she had to prepare to drive to San.
Mindli Cinemas, kilometers away...
The waiting time is long, from waking up early in the morning to four or five o'clock in the afternoon;
Hedy Thurman watched the trailers of "Twilight 1" and "Black Moon Project 3" again and again... I have to say that the more she watched the trailers of "Twilight 1", the more surprised she felt.
One is more advanced than the other, there are levels...
But just because Hedy Thurman likes it, it doesn't mean that others also like it - the Internet is already full of news and push notifications; and the team behind "Twilight 1" has not worked hard... but the effect is not big!
In terms of marketing and box office objective facts, Hedy Thurman has to admit that "Black Moon Project 3" is a winner.
As she flipped through the "Twilight" forum she created, her eyes darkened even more as she saw the joyful expectations of the small book fans.
"Oh my God - I just found out today that "Twilight 1" was released, but you all don't know that I was able to buy tickets for the premiere. Not only did I buy it, the theater I will go to today is also a movie theater.
I’m the only one in the hall, it’s so cool!”
"Hiss! Your face was kissed by God? Are you so lucky? I am not so lucky. There are nearly half of the people in the "Twilight 1" theater where I am, and it is only the second show in the early morning!"
"The second one in the early morning?"
"Yes, for the first one, I have chosen "Black Moon Project 3". I am looking forward to both movies very much!"
"I also wanted to make this choice, but the reality did not give me the right conditions - the theater I chose, the movie tickets for "Twilight 1", have been sold out... The nearest one with tickets is not in the city
, in the suburbs!”
"I was so crazy that I drove to the suburbs early in the morning just to watch two movies, but... I chose "Twilight 1" first. After all, compared to "Black Moon Project 3," I prefer to watch two movies.
It’s a romance movie with a love element that can make my dopamine reach its peak!”
…
"The movie tickets in the city are sold out?" Hedy Thurman said with a sarcastic smile.
She has a movie ticket order information for "Black Moon Project 3" in her hand, but what is strange is that the information is consistent with the movie ticket she plans to book for "Twilight 1"... movie theater, and this
The tickets for the theater are all sold out...
After looking at the various discussion messages in the "Twilight" forum for a whole day, Hedy Thurman leaned on the sofa and finally couldn't support it anymore. He stared in confusion and squinted. After about half an hour, he was
One after another, the beeps wake me up...
Facebook fan groups, Facebook account private messages, Facebook messenger... all kinds of online media community platforms - they are all over the place!
Hedy Thurman immediately opened the screen of his mobile phone. Within five minutes, there were more than ten messages on it... Among them, the number of Facebook fan groups @Hedy Thurman and group chats had reached 99+, and
These more than ten push notifications all point to one thing——
""Twilight 1" video leaked!"
Seeing this news, Hedy Thurman's eyes were filled with disbelief, and then he asked with a little heaviness, "How is this possible?"
"Is this Victoria's fault again?"
"Twilight 1" and "Twilight 2" have been completed for a year and a half now. According to relevant news, the review was completed last year!
In the intervening year, there is really no guarantee that no relevant personnel will leak it.
The film was leaked, and it was only the day or half a day before the film was to be released. This matter is big or small.
To put it mildly, as long as the film crew can quickly control the situation, there is still a great chance to stop the loss. But to put it seriously, if it cannot be successfully contained, it will definitely cause irreversible heavy losses to "Twilight 1"
!
This film has been tit-for-tat promoted by Victoria Pictures. It has already been suppressed, and the pre-sale box office has been dismal. Now, something like this has happened, which will definitely make the box office of this film fall into the bottom.
!
As for why Hedy Thurman speculated that Victoria Pictures was responsible? In addition to Victoria Pictures, does Mindelli Pictures have any other enemies? In addition to "Black Moon Project 3", "Twilight 1" also
Are there any other opponents?
'It can't be... that the producers of "Twilight 1" leaked it themselves, right?'
An idea flashed in Hedy Thurman's mind, but she still chose not to believe it - it was too unbelievable!
This is simply impossible, unless the producers of "Twilight 1" are crazy - this will only lead to an inevitable outcome!
With a heavy heart,
Hedy Thurman turned on his mobile phone, clicked on one of the media community platforms such as Facebook, and clicked on the relevant news...
