Chapter 283: The foreign screening kicks off and is delivered!)
Time passes quickly.
April 17th arrived in the blink of an eye.
The 17th is a very ordinary day.
China's movie box office overall fell into decline in April.
Although the domestic box office of "The Man Came From Earth" has begun to decline to a certain extent, it is still holding on to more than 10 million per day. Although the box office may drop by 10 million in a few days, it has been strong for such a long time.
It has completely become a scourge throughout April.
As for the Hollywood movie "Future You", it has begun to fail.
After dropping 5 million, it began to reach new lows. In the early morning of the 17th, the movie finally fell below 4 million votes and reached 3.5 million box office. It has begun to be completely unable to beat that movie in the daily box office.
"Breaking Alien".
If "Breaking Alien" holds up a little bit better, then there is a real chance that April will take over "Future You" and become the second best.
This news is undoubtedly very exciting!
"Breaking Aliens" is starting to hit its stride!
After surpassing "Future You" for several days in a row, "Breaking Aliens" began to appear frequently on the homepage's popularity page, and even ranked second on the popularity list several times...
All the fans who pay attention to this area have begun to give this movie a second look. They all hope that this movie can surpass "Future You" as soon as possible and pull "Future You" into the third place as soon as possible.
Location.
In this environment, the popularity of "Alien" is naturally rising. Many movie forums, forums and Tomatoes are full of news about "Alien". Judging from the frequency of news, even
It's slightly overshadowed by "This Man Is From Earth".
Why?
The first is that Xu Qifeng, the director of "The Extra-Terrestrial", is very good at publicity. After the movie was a hit, he led the male and female protagonists to appear in "Happy Camp" to create another wave of hype. The second is that there is an appeal on the Internet.
The voices supporting good domestic films and some inexplicable patriotism...
Another most important news is that according to insiders, the "Breaking Alien" film has actually signed a contract with Hollywood's Cobia as early as a week ago, and Cobia will be the agent for global distribution.
It will be released on the 17th to compete with other Hollywood movies!
This news is even more exciting!
What kind of company is Gobia?
This is one of the seven giant companies in Hollywood, even stronger than Paimon...
If distributed by this company, the global box office could even compete with "Future You"!
After all, in terms of promotional resources, Cobia is much better than Midland of "Future You"!
This is big news for everyone to look forward to!
In short, "Breaking Aliens" has become a trend and has completely counterattacked!
The headlines that day were even filled with the big news that "The Extra-Terrestrial" has gone overseas.
And "This Man Is From Earth" is suddenly awkward.
After all, this movie shocked them too much when it was released in China in April. After being shocked for a long time, they found themselves numb.
You are No. 1 in the box office today, and you have almost tripled the number of "Future You" again?
Oh, normal.
Is this movie making headlines again?
Oh, that's normal.
Has the movie been praised or criticized by a certain internet celebrity again?
Oh, it couldn't be more normal.
This "This Man Is From Earth" is inexplicably the same as Lu Yuan. Although he has always been the hot spot in the industry, it gives them a strange feeling.
It’s normal if you make the headlines, and it’s abnormal if you don’t make the headlines, okay?
Moreover, the box office performance of "The Man from Earth" in China was so terrible. Is there any point in talking about second-guessing movies online?
This "Future You" almost makes you cry!
In this numb environment, everyone feels that discussing "This Man is from Earth" is meaningless.
Now everyone is setting their sights on overseas markets!
As for the overseas box office of "The Man from Earth", no one paid attention to it. Even on the day it was released on the 17th, there was no news or attention.
In everyone's mind, this movie is definitely destined for overseas markets.
Who makes you dissatisfied?
You chose an inexplicable Huaxin company, what are you doing?
Who do you blame for your own death?
…………………………………………
The total global box office of "Future You" has exceeded 30 million US dollars.
The combined RMB is around 200 million RMB.
Compared with the total investment of three million US dollars, "Future You" has actually made enough money to hold a celebration party.
But Thomson was a little depressed.
He failed at the box office in China.
Although the box office performance in China was still good for him, the feeling of being crushed still made him very depressed.
It doesn't matter if it was crushed by "The Man from Earth". After all, you can't compare with monsters, but what does it mean to be surpassed by a comedy like "Alien" for several days at the box office?
If this momentum continues, my box office performance in China will begin to fail to beat that of "Aliens"?
He could not accept the fact that he failed in China.
He felt that this was not the end for him.
Of course, he doesn't care about the box office of Chinese movies now.
What he is now concerned about is the overseas box office of "Better Alien", especially the US box office.
"Alien", like other movies, was bought out overseas, and the buyout price was three million U.S. dollars. This price was not low, and it was even as high as Paimon's box office price for "The Man from Earth."
Of course this is not the point.
The point is Gobia!
This is a big company...
If you are willing to promote this movie seriously, then this "Alien" is very likely to suddenly break out again.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, Cobia Company has put a lot of effort into its promotion. At least many American movie fans know that there is a Chinese comedy called "The Extra-Terrestrial" that has been released in the United States, and this film
I heard the movie was pretty good...
Thomson feels the situation is not optimistic.
It would really be a joke if I were surpassed by "Alien" at the domestic box office in the United States.
Even though it has been seventeen days since "Future You" was released in the United States and the box office data has dropped sharply throughout the day, he still doesn't want to be surpassed!
This is a matter of dignity in Hollywood movies!
Why do your Chinese movies surpass my movies?
Even during the decline, I will not allow you to be surpassed!
On the morning of the 17th, there were still three hours left before the US premiere of "The Extra-Terrestrial".
"Little Downey, come here."
"Director, what's wrong?"
""Future You" is trying to do an event to promote it today..."
"Ah, the movie has been released for such a long time, so it doesn't make much sense for us to promote it now..."
“If I ask you to promote it, you will promote it!”
"Okay... Then how about letting the heroine Nicole do a signing and ticket sales event?"
"Well, okay! In short, it can't be surpassed!"
"I see."
…………………………
"Alien" has a lot of film schedules in the United States, and major and small theaters such as Universal, American Cinematheque, and World Cinema are paying great attention to this movie.
This movie can be regarded as the Chinese movie that they have paid most attention to in recent years. After all, Gobia Company also feels that this movie has some tricks and thinks that this movie can make some money.
Comedies are still relatively popular in the United States, and the market is not small. They are much more popular than so-called literary films.
Cobia's continuous promotion for several days, coupled with the exquisite editing, and its reputation as China's number one dark horse comedy film, have invisibly made American movie fans full of expectations.
On that day, countless movie fans bought tickets to watch "The Extra-Terrestrial".
The movie "My Future You" has also started to be promoted, and it has become so popular that the heroine Nicole even personally held a ticket sales event. Therefore, the popularity of "My Future You" on the 17th is not inferior to that of "The Extra-Terrestrial"
》.
Many fans who have watched "Future You" immediately decided to buy another ticket to help Nicole after seeing how hard Nicole promoted the movie...
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two movies are going to compete again on the American battlefield.
One wants to attack eagerly, and the other can't wait to defend.
The two formed a very strange smell of gunpowder.
This kind of gunpowder has always been what movie lovers want to see.
After all, the U.S. box office in April was too uneventful. There were no strong movies. All the stronger blockbusters were released in May, so April was really quiet. There were still a few unspeakable movies.
Bad movies all over the place...
This is really...
Nothing to say!
So basically everyone hopes that the box office in April will be more exciting.
On the morning of the 17th.
"Alien" has finally been released in the United States with the attention of Chinese and foreign movie fans.
An hour and a half later, the fans left the theater after watching the movie.
"What kind of movie is this..."
"It's not interesting... I originally thought it was a science fiction comedy movie similar to "Alien Attack", but I didn't expect it to be an embarrassing movie..."
"Oh God, I suddenly waited for nothing!"
"Why……"
"This movie is not good...it is far less good-looking than "Alien Attack", mainly in terms of special effects..."
"Yes, Chinese movies still have the same old problems. The special effects are not good and there are too many reference points in the plot..."
"Forget it, it's much better than those crappy Chinese movies."
"Um."
Except for a few of the movie fans who walked out of the theater with beaming faces, others had disappointed expressions on their faces.
"Alien" is not a bad movie.
But……
In a sense, it follows the trend of "Alien Attack", but it is completely inferior in terms of special effects.
In China, the box office may be good and it may be a dark horse, but in the United States...
Well, America is a very cruel world.
"Hey, I can't even write a review for this movie...it's so good...forget it...let's go."
"Brother Jack...are we leaving like this?"
"Otherwise Alice..."
"I want to go see Lu Yuan's movie... Lu Yuan's movie is also released today."
"Lu Yuan? That very powerful pianist? His movie, what movie?"
"He has a movie called "The Man from Earth" that came out today..."
"What? I didn't hear the news. This movie is not included in the Sweet Potato International Movies?"
"Yes! It's just that the promotion is not good enough. If you are not a loyal fan, you don't even know... There are two shows today. If you don't watch it, it will be gone today."
"Okay, let me see...well, it seems that I actually have tickets for this movie."
