Everyone online is keeping an eye on Tomato's box office updates.
Tomato.com did not disappoint everyone and promptly updated the overseas box office for the day.
The first is the box office of "Alien", which has dropped to a shocking US$70,000.
Only $70,000?
Well, the box office of US$70,000 has basically gone cold.
You mean the fourth day?
Is there a fourth day for this movie?
Theater chains are very realistic. They only care about box office and money. If they can make money, they will definitely schedule more. If they can't make money, they will definitely schedule less or even start the movie earlier...
This is the reality that no one can do anything about.
After all, everyone needs to eat, right?
According to the latest news on Tomato.com, this "Alien" movie will no longer see the light of tomorrow.
When it first came out at the box office, it was canceled in advance by major theater chains. There were even rumors that Manager John, the person in charge of introducing "E.T." was severely criticized by the leadership and had all his annual bonuses deducted.
.
The failure of "Alien" disappointed everyone in the film industry, and Tianyu executives were also unhappy.
If this movie fails to succeed, even if Cobia Company intends to buy out the overseas rights for the next movie, it will not be possible to get much money, and it may even be less than one million US dollars.
After all, this is a lesson learned...
Of course, Tianyu and others were indeed disappointed, but netizens were in a pretty good mood.
The overseas box office of "This Man Is From Earth" has also been released.
Three hundred and ten thousand!
It even beat "Future You" at the box office by US$10,000.
Don’t underestimate the box office of 10,000 US dollars. Even though it is 10,000 US dollars, it means that a Chinese film has finally embarked on a journey to Hollywood and officially defeated local films on the Hollywood battlefield!
although……
"Future You" has actually gone downhill.
although……
According to all aspects of data analysis, "This Man Came From Earth" can be a hit, but it cannot hit the $600,000 box office record of "Future You" at its peak...
but.
This is enough to make others stink!
In any case, Chinese movies are on the rise.
…………………………………………
After Thomson saw this box office data, he felt very depressed.
However, he can no longer compete with "This Man is from Earth".
"Future You" has been on the screen for twenty days, and its potential has almost been exhausted. Even if the male and female protagonists are allowed to promote it again and create some flashy things, it will be useless. It really can't stop the decline.
After all, there are only so many movie fans, and Midland will not do much promotion for its movie. Now the company's focus is on "King Kong: The Rise of King Kong 2," which will be released in May.
》This movie has it all.
The reputation of the "King Kong" series has always been very good. The company is preparing to take this series of movies to a higher level, so many aspects of the plot and special effects have been done quite well, not to mention the publicity aspect.
fell.
Compared with last year's "King Kong: Origins", this movie even invited Hollywood celebrities like Anelle to help out. The ambition is already obvious!
Last year, the box office of the movie "King Kong: Origins" in China was 480 million, and the box office of "King Kong 2: The Rise" in China is definitely going to be over 600 million, and people are even focusing on that movie.
The powerful "Planet Age" has a box office of 900 million...
In this environment, my "future you" is destined to make way for him.
no way……
Who made this movie the company's main hit?
My "Future You" is also very good, but...
After all, it can't be compared with this big-headed movie.
So Thomson could only watch "The Man from Earth" show off its power in front of him and defeat him in his own country without any means...
he……
No longer able to struggle!
Since there is no way to struggle, then just enjoy it.
In fact, Thomson hasn't actually seen "The Man from Earth" yet.
On the fourth day, Thomson was finally fully equipped and went to the theater to watch the movie in its entirety.
After watching this movie, Thomson could only lament that the screenwriter of this movie is really a damn genius!
Can he think of all this?
The box office results on the fourth day were also released. The box office of "This Man Is From Earth" exceeded US$440,000, reaching a peak value, while my own "Future You" dropped US$300,000.
, sliding down to the helpless figure of $250,000...
After seeing the box office on the fourth day and reviewing the plot of the movie, Thomson suddenly felt that he had a good idea!
Thomson felt that he was inspired, and he even felt that the follow-up of "The Man from Earth" has greater potential to be tapped, and it can even be made into a series of movies like "King Kong"!
After returning to the company, Thomson called his screenwriter team to chat with them about his ideas for the next science fiction movie. After hearing his idea, the screenwriter team unanimously expressed excitement.
They also watched the movie "The Man from Earth" and they felt very inspired. Even Jim, the team leader of the screenwriter, told Thomson about the idea of writing a "The Man from Earth 2"...
This idea hit it off with Thomson!
Of course, if you want to make a second film, you have to get the other party's authorization, and at the same time, you have to negotiate a good price with the other party.
It's okay if you borrow it. After all, there's nothing wrong with "Alien" borrowing from "Alien Attack", but if you want to use the title of "This Man from Earth 2", it will definitely not work.
This involves legal issues.
The idea is quite good, but Thomson also has his own worries...
The movie "This Man Came From Earth" is so popular, will a smart guy like Lu Yuan authorize it for himself?
Judging from recent information, Lu Yuan definitely has a big appetite.
Or is this like this, cooperating with Lu Yuan's company to make this movie? Your company will pay most of the money, and Lu Yuan will be responsible for licensing and Chinese promotion?
When he thought of this, he called the upper management of his company. The upper management naturally noticed the Hollywood performance of "The Man from Earth" and finally agreed to Thomson's idea after careful consideration and was willing to come up with a plan.
Millions of dollars allowed Thomson to purchase the sequel rights to "The Man from Earth."
When the company agreed, Thomson naturally did not hesitate at all. Without saying a word, he called Huaxia, hoping to contact Lu Yuan from the "remote" company, and even more hoped to chat with Lu Yuan about the script.
…………………………………………
The box office on the third day was 310,000!
The box office on the fourth day was 440,000!
Four days, one million US dollars in box office!
This will undoubtedly make the hearts of all Chinese movie fans twitch!
On the same day, major sections continued to report on the box office results of this movie...
only……
Although netizens were very happy and proud, they did not have the same sense of shock as at the beginning.
On the contrary, they felt very peaceful.
The box office performance of "The Man from Earth" was already within their expectations. In fact, some people were actually a little disappointed.
They came up with an unrealistic idea.
They hope to see "This Man from Earth" break the peak of "Future You".
They hope to see Huaxia Films perform a wave of unparalleled operations with great vigor!
Even if based on various data, it is impossible for "This Man from Earth" to have such incredible results, they don't care.
After all, yy...
Who doesn't want to?
But everyone knows that the box office of "This Man Is From Earth" was 440,000 yuan at its peak on the fourth day.
You said it would break out again on the fifth day?
The possibility is very low.
On the fifth day, major theater chains have stopped increasing the number of films scheduled for "The Man from Earth", and judging from feedback from various aspects, the data on the fifth day is very likely to start to decline...
There is no way...
However, when the box office results came out on the fifth day, Chinese movie fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Four hundred and thirty thousand!
Although it has declined, it has not declined by much.
It is still very strong above 400,000.
If it continues to be so strong, then the total box office of this movie will still have a chance to surpass the total box office of "Future You", which was US$40 million worldwide.
According to the total box office data, the total global box office difference between the two is only about US$3 million.
After all, although the box office of "This Man Is From Earth" in overseas markets did not surpass that of "Future You", it was unilaterally crushed by "The Man from the Earth" in China...
As for the fifth day box office of "Future You"?
Well, it has completely dropped to 170,000. According to the curve, it will drop even more tomorrow.
The potential is exhausted, and there is no reason to support it.
A China is vigorous and lasting. Although Hollywood is not as vigorous as China, it is still lasting!
China is so sluggish that it can no longer be painted, and Hollywood is also gradually sluggish to the point that it is about to stop painting...
Three million dollars...
Is this a thing?
It’s not a big deal at all!
Generally speaking, it is only a matter of time before "This Man Is From Earth" overtakes "Future You".
At this time, a very strange news suddenly came out from the Chinese entertainment industry.
That is, director Thomson of "Future You" fell in love with "This Man is from Earth" and wanted to make a sequel with Lu Yuan!
Just filming "The Man from Earth 2"!
My Ergouzi is so awesome!
After seeing this news, all netizens felt a sense of climax again.
The Hollywood director took the initiative to contact China and asked for cooperation. He was even willing to pay a large part of the filming money and share the box office with Lu Yuan!
What does this mean?
It represents a gorgeous and beautiful co-production, and the two are about to bloom to the point of failure!
As for Ergouzi’s response?
Do you think Ergouzi would refuse such a great thing?
Definitely not!
However, in fact, the revelations that followed shocked everyone.
Lu Yuan refused without saying a word!
What, this is rejected?
After seeing the rejection, most netizens were confused at first, but as a small number of people reacted and speculated that Lu Yuan might be filming "This Man from Earth 2" alone, netizens felt that they understood
.
Isn't this also in line with Lu Yuan's character's personality that people's wealth does not flow to outsiders?
It's my stuff, my movie, why should I cooperate with you?
Can’t I make money myself?
But……
When Lu Yuan announced on Weibo that he would not film "The Man from Earth 2", netizens could no longer understand what Lu Yuan was thinking...
This operation.
They really can't understand it.
He doesn't take pictures, nor does he let others take pictures...
What does this mean?
……………………
"What do you mean? You won't make this movie, and you won't give us permission to make it?"
"director……"
"What?"
"Maybe we didn't give enough money... He was hinting at us."
"hint?"
"Yes, let's just do this. Instead of talking to him about cooperation, we will talk to him about licensing and raise the price. Wouldn't the company give us one million? We will just buy it with one million US dollars, and
When he chats, we shouldn’t think about bargaining, just show him our sincerity!”
