Huayi Brothers Media, Wang Zhongjun received news from the United States in the afternoon.
Looking at the numbers above, the first three-day weekend in North America was US$11.2 million!
11.2 million U.S. dollars in three days, equivalent to about 70 million yuan.
This is still the three-day opening weekend. Judging from the above-mentioned word-of-mouth, daily box office growth and the number of theaters showing it, it has been on a steady rise.
The final box office forecast in North America given by professional institutions in North America is US$40 million!
40 million US dollars, twice as much as "Now You See Me" in the previous two years.
Looking at all the Chinese-language movies released in North America, it ranks third after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with 128 million and "Hero" with 5,300.
Moreover, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still belongs to the category of Sino-US co-productions.
Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and asked Wang Zhonglei, "I remember that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a share of the signing, right?"
Wang Zhonglei nodded and said, "It's a share. The distributor is Columbia, and Chen Guofu's line is the same. It's also a share in more than 50 countries around the world where it has been released."
"Do you know the specific share ratio?" Wang Zhongjun asked again.
"I don't know about this, but no matter how much Columbia is a Hollywood giant, the share should not be low. I just don't know how they and Tang An will be divided." Wang Zhonglei shook his head.
"50% should be about the same. Colombia's issuance scale is not small, so 15% should be there, probably 35%."
Wang Zhongjun made some estimates and found that Hollywood blockbusters generally get 60% of the share. Even for Chinese-language movies, if they are distributed by Colombia, it shouldn't be a big problem to get 50%.
There were 1,600 cinemas at the time of opening, and it was on the mainstream cinema chain. The scale was not small, and the 15% distribution fee was almost enough.
Even so, Tang An can still get the remaining 35%, which is 14 million US dollars. Other video tapes, TV on demand, online copyrights and Colombia can also get 3 to 4 million US dollars, which is about 130 million yuan.
.
Half of the production fee is returned, and this is still the North American box office.
Wang Zhongjun sighed regretfully. Zhang Yimou has not been able to sell any box office in North America since "Hero". Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" did not even make a splash in North America. Now in China, only Tang An can make as much money as Americans.
money.
"Oh, there are too many. What about other overseas markets?" Wang Zhongjun asked after thinking about it.
The fact that it can sell so well in North America at least proves that Western audiences can still accept it, and it should also have some box office success in other overseas regions.
Wang Zhonglei looked a little strange and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhongjun was a little surprised.
"There are currently nearly 30 countries in more than 50 overseas countries."
Wang Zhonglei handed over a piece of A4 paper and added, "'Edge of Tomorrow' won the global box office championship last week."
What!
Global market weekly box office champion?
Wang Zhongjun's hand trembled slightly as he picked up the paper, and he quickly browsed it in disbelief.
Mainland China has 30 million US dollars, and North America has 10 million, which is 40 million. If you want to win the global weekly crown in December, it will cost you at least 50 million in a single week. This is without a super blockbuster.
2.5 million US dollars per day.
South Korea 1.5 million US dollars.
UK $1.9 million.
Singapore US$1.6 million.
Russia 1.3 million US dollars.
France 1.1 million US dollars.
Australia $700,000.
Mexico $600,000.
Treasure Island $1.2 million.
Hong Kong 800,000 US dollars.
Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries add up to US$1.3 million.
The other European countries add up to 1.6 million US dollars.
He looked at the numbers one by one, and his eyes slowly slid to the bottom.
Wang Zhongjun no longer dared to look at the final figures. Even if he was not very good at mental arithmetic, he was sure that the sum of the above figures was definitely not a small number.
In the end, more than 30 countries and regions around the world received a total of US$57.3 million in box office in the first week!
$57.3 million!
Wang Zhongjun's eyes widened when he saw this number, and the word shock was clearly written in his eyes.
After 4 days of release, it grossed a super high box office of US$57.3 million worldwide!
Wang Zhongjun can no longer predict the final box office of this movie. Will it be 200 million U.S. dollars, 300 million U.S. dollars or more?
Originally, he thought that the cost of "Edge of Tomorrow" plus publicity and distribution would be close to 350 million, and even if it got high box office, he would not be able to make back the money.
"I didn't expect that!"
Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but sigh. If this project had not been let go and it was still led by Huayi, it would have been Huayi's biggest income this year.
"Zhong Lei, go find a few screenwriters to see if they can write a script for a science fiction film. It needs to be hardcore science fiction." Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and said.
"I'll find someone right away." Wang Zhonglei nodded.
As long as there is money to be made, it is normal to follow the trend. Come up with the script first and see if it is feasible. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, it won't cost a lot of money.
At about the same time, some major domestic companies and large media outlets received the overseas box office data of "Edge of Tomorrow".
Xinlang Entertainment, a certain editor’s mailbox dinged.
"Fuck!"
A man in his 30s wearing glasses was holding a mouse. He stared at the computer screen with his glasses, his eyeballs wanting to be inserted into them.
"What are you talking about? What's the news?"
"Which star is causing trouble?"
Several editors around asked casually.
"No, holy shit, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a hit!" the man said excitedly.
"Lao Zhou, are you stupid? Who doesn't know that "Edge of Tomorrow" has exploded? Didn't you write the news article on the homepage?"
"It's not just the domestic box office, it's a hit in North America, it's a hit overseas!"
"What?"
"What's going on? How much is the North American box office?"
As soon as I heard about the big explosion overseas, several people immediately gathered around me, with four or five heads crowded in front of the computer screen.
"Damn it, $57.3 million!"
"This is a great success, and it is still the global weekly box office champion!"
"It's a hit in Asia, America, and Europe. It's crazy. It grossed 57.3 million US dollars in the first week. The total box office is less than 300 to 400 million US dollars. Tang An has made a lot of money now!"
Everyone was shocked for a while before someone reacted and patted the person next to him heavily on the arm, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and write the news."
The same situation occurs in major media, and some film and television companies see this number with deep envy and despair.
Guangxian Media, Wang Changtian slapped the table heavily, his face beaming with joy and uncontrollable excitement.
I originally thought that the domestic box office success of "Edge of Tomorrow" was enough, and whether it made money or not was a trivial matter.
He never expected that Tang An would give him such a big surprise, and it would sell such good box office in the global film market.
It is foreseeable that as long as this data is released, it will cause a big sensation. After all, it is the global weekly box office champion. No pure Chinese-language movie has reached this data before.
It is foreseeable that Guangxian's listing will definitely trigger a frenzy among investors, and it won't be a problem if the market value exceeds that of when Huayi was released!
On the North American side, Yu Dong has been meeting with various funds and leading companies in the past two days, and Murdoch has also reached verbal cooperation.
Bernard instantly went from being ignored to a potential stock about to be listed, attracting a lot of capital pursuit.
China Film Group and Han Sanping also laughed heartily when they got this data. A domestic Chinese-language film has achieved such outstanding results at home and abroad, which proves that the domestic market is becoming more and more prosperous, and the promotion of Chinese-language films overseas is becoming more and more smooth.
You cannot do without your own contribution.
ps: There are only 4 updates today. I went out with my friends to get together. I haven’t had a dinner together for two or three months since I started writing the book. I always found excuses not to go. I used to get together once or twice a month, but I won’t go anymore.
If there is no friend left, let's take stock of each other.
