Chapter 633 He is a man who is good at creating miracles (4100+ chapters~)
The box office battle between "The Last Days" and "Back to the Future 3" continues.
For every movie, the box office in the first week is very important. For some movies with relatively heavy publicity in the early stage and poor film quality, the box office in the first week can even account for more than 60% of the total box office revenue!
It is true that these two movies are not bad movies. Even if the box office of "Back to the Future 3" in another time and space does not reach the results of the other two movies, it cannot be said to be a bad movie. It can only be said to be an expected one.
A movie that is more enjoyable than watching it.
But this is already the original sin for "Back to the Future 3".
What the audience wants to eat is a watermelon, but what "Back to the Future 3" brings out is just an apple. The psychological gap makes this movie not have a very good reputation in the hearts of ordinary moviegoers.
This is like the last Zhou Xingchi movie "The New King of Comedy" that Wu Jianye saw when he was reborn. In fact, this movie is very good in Wu Jianye's opinion. If it were shot by an ordinary director
This movie may do better at the box office.
But it happens to be Chow Sing-chi's work. This does not mean that Wu Jianye thinks that this movie is the end of Chow Sing-chi's talent. The quality of this movie continues to uphold Chow Sing-chi's style. For real Chow Sing-chi fans, it is actually a sentimental experience.
A feast of novelty.
It's a pity that the protagonist has changed. For the new audience, they went to watch this movie with the attitude of "The King of Comedy". In fact, the most suitable star for the movie directed by Zhou Xingchi is Zhou Xingchi. Although Wang Baoqiang is already working hard
I’m learning Zhou Xingchi’s style.
But after all, it's just a matter of imitating others.
Even some viewers who are not optimistic about this movie have never seen Zhou Xingchi's movies. After all, in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Zhou Xingchi had already been promoted to the altar, and the audience's expectations were too high, so
It will cause "The New King of Comedy" to crash at the box office...
the next day!
"The Last Days" box office: 15.29 million U.S. dollars!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $16.03 million!
The box office of both movies has dropped to some extent. In fact, this is also related to the holidays in North America. Now everyone is paying attention to the box office of the three days of the weekend.
This is the true test of both movies!
Friday!
"The Last Days" box office: $22.09 million!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $16.92 million!
"The Last Days" formed a counterattack against "Back to the Future 3", and the decisive factor here was the audience's reputation.
In fact, it has been proven that the audience's reputation is the most important factor in a movie's box office. Although the so-called movie reviews can have a certain impact on the movie in the early stage, when the movie's release time is extended, this movie
A movie's attendance and box office will all change with the audience's reputation.
Saturday!
"The Last Days" box office: 21.62 million U.S. dollars!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $13.91 million!
The box office gap between the two movies is gradually widening.
At this time, Spielberg, Lucas and others were really anxious, because according to the current trend, "Back to the Future 3" will lose at the box office!
The classic series of "Back to the Future", coupled with the golden combination of Spielberg and Zemeckis, actually lost to Wu Jianye, who came to Hollywood to shoot a movie for the first time, at the box office!
At this time, not only Spielberg and Lucas were aware of this problem, but other production companies were also aware of this problem.
I have talked about this issue before. The success or failure of these two movies at the box office is not just a battle between two companies or two movies, but it also means changes in the structure of Hollywood.
Many production company bosses couldn't help but say after seeing this box office: "Hollywood is going to change!"
In fact, the world of Hollywood is indeed undergoing changes. At this time, as the boss of Phantom Entertainment, Linda received a lot of calls, including not only Hollywood's top superstars, but also Hollywood's ace producers, as well as six other Hollywood companies.
phone call from the president of the production company.
They are all seeking cooperation with Phantom Entertainment, and some production companies have even asked Phantom if they can join the investment in "Jurassic Park."
Always follow the footsteps of successful people!
Linda once said this at a press conference, and now Wu Jianye has used the movie "The Love of Ghosts" to prove that he can succeed in Hollywood, and it is an astonishing success.
At the beginning, everyone's evaluation of the movie "The Last Days" was that the movie might achieve a certain degree of success in Europe and Southeast Asia, but it would definitely fail in North America, even if some people had different ideas.
The highest praise given by people is that this movie may eventually become a movie that is neither a hit nor a hit!
Now reality slaps them hard in the face!
Not enough. For Hollywood professionals, the last thing they need to care about is their face.
When Li Lianjie came to Hollywood to make a name for himself, the boss of the production company could put his legs up on the table in his office and look at Li Lianjie through the gap. After Li Lianjie succeeded, he could also lower his body and run to Li Lianjie in person.
The crew stayed on board for 3 hours without any complaints!
This is real Hollywood!
Maybe they have all kinds of discrimination here, but when it comes to interests, all discrimination doesn't matter.
Sunday!
The movie box office of "The Last Days" also saw some decline, but it still remained above 20 million, with 20.99 million US dollars.
As for the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3", it continues to maintain its downward trend. The single-day box office is only 11.29 million US dollars!
As of now, the first weekend box office numbers of the two movies have been released.
Because there is a holiday for people with plots, and the opening weekend of these two movies is two more Wednesdays and Thursdays than the previous movies.
Therefore, the first-week box office of these two movies is higher than that of ordinary movies.
The box office of "The Last Days" reached a terrifying US$97.35 million in its first week!
Even those who keep an eye on the box office trends every day still show shock after seeing this data. If inflation and the extra two days of box office are not taken into account, the movie "The Last Day" will have a
The box office has broken the North American first-week box office record!
Naturally, Wu Jianye also saw this set of data. The box office of the movie "The Love of Ghosts" far exceeded the box office of another time and space.
There are actually many factors involved. First of all, this movie received sufficient coverage before its release. Regardless of whether these reports are good or bad, this movie has almost no influence on the audience from the project establishment to the completion of filming and then to its release.
Disappeared before my eyes.
At the same time, the quality of this movie exceeds everyone's expectations. If everyone's expectations for "Back to the Future 3" are like a watermelon, then everyone's expectations for the movie "The End of the World" are like grapes.
But Wu Jianye dedicated a watermelon to them!
The explosion of word-of-mouth from professional film critics and ordinary audiences has given this film an absolute advantage!
The last important reason is the number of theaters in which this movie was released. In another time and space, this movie did not receive much attention from the beginning to the release, and when it was released, there were not many screens.
, only about two thousand yuan!
But now, this movie has been released on more than 4,000 screens.
All of these are the reasons why the box office of this movie far exceeds that of another time and space.
As for the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3", which is the rival of "Back to the Future 3", it would be very successful if considered normal. After all, their box office in the first week also reached 77.45 million US dollars!
But compared with the movie "The End of the World", it is a lot worse. And everyone is understanding and knows that the box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3" has been declining, and the trend is downward.
It's very serious. According to the current trend, the box office in the second week will drop by at least 50%.
When Wu Jianye saw these reports, he laughed and said to himself: "Actually, Spielberg, Lucas and others still have to thank themselves."
In fact, this is indeed the case. If it hadn't been for Wu Jianye's appearance, they would not have increased their publicity efforts for the movie "Back to the Future 3". Both the number of theaters released and the publicity expenditures far exceeded
This movie is from another time and space.
You must know that in another time and space, this movie's box office in North America did not exceed 100 million!
Now it seems that this movie has a box office of over 100 million, and it should be a foregone conclusion, at least it will be a success at the box office.
As for the appearance of Wu Jianye, the publicity cost of this movie has also increased a lot. It is unclear whether Spielberg, Lucas and others will lose or gain.
I think with the reputation of the "Back to the Future" series, this movie will still make them some money.
How much they earn is not what Wu Jianye cares about, but how much Phantom Entertainment earns now is what countless production companies are concerned about.
From the data released by Phantom Entertainment, they can see that the production cost of the movie "The Last Love" was 23 million, and the publicity cost was 23 million, and the total cost was 46 million US dollars!
The box office of this movie in its first week in North America is now US$97.35 million. Because the distribution of this movie is handled by Phantom Entertainment itself, they only need to share the revenue with theaters.
Starting from this year, a new sharing model has become popular in North America, which means that the studio's share will account for 90% of the total box office in the first week, and then decrease successively...
In other words, Phantom Entertainment can get a share of the box office of US$87.61 million in the first week!
This has exceeded the total production cost of the movie "The Last Days"!
Within a week, Phantom Entertainment has started to make profits. Of course, some taxes have to be deducted, but everyone knows that although taxes in North America are very high, there are many ways to avoid taxes...
Just when everyone thought this was the highlight of the movie "The Last Days", the overseas box office results of this movie were also announced by Phantom Entertainment.
In addition to North America, the global box office of the movie "The Last Days" has reached 190 million U.S. dollars, which is twice the North American box office!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this data. No one thought that the movie "The Last Days" would have such a high global box office.
You must know that in the past, even if the global box office of North American movies was higher than this movie, it would not be twice as high!
But then everyone understood that the most important credit here belongs to Wu Jianye.
First of all, the popularity of Wu Jianye and Isabelle Adjani in Europe ensures that this movie has a strong appeal in Europe.
Only then did everyone realize that this movie not only increased Wu Jianye's appeal in the mainstream film circles in North America, but with the release of this movie in Europe, it also cultivated a group of regular fans for Wu Jianye in Europe.
audience.
Then there is the box office contribution of this movie in Southeast Asia!
Fengge Cinemas is the largest theater chain company in Southeast Asia and the largest theater chain company in almost every country in Southeast Asia. This also provided a firm box office contribution for this movie in Southeast Asia.
At this time, no one doubts the achievements that the strategic cooperation between Fengge Media and Phantom Entertainment can achieve.
According to the established rules, the production company has a 40% share of the global box office. The movie "The Last Days" brought Phantom Entertainment US$76 million in revenue in its first week!
Wu Jianye's name and photos once again became the cover of major print media.
"Wu Jianye: A man good at creating miracles!" -- "Hollywood Reporter"
"What else is there that Wu Jianye cannot succeed in?" -- "Variety Show"
"Who would doubt him at this time?" -- "Hollywood Times"
.......
These media outlets seem to have long forgotten how they criticized Wu Jianye before. At this time, their reports have become all praise...
After seeing these reports, Wu Jianye just smiled slightly. Wu Jianye has long known about the virtues of the media, even though he is now the boss behind the largest media group in Southeast Asia and the most popular upstart in Hollywood, Phantom.
The boss behind entertainment.
His views on the media have not changed.
Praising the high and undermining the low will always be the mainstream of the media.
Wu Jianye may not care about this, but that doesn't mean that others don't care. These people have been holding their breath for a long time because of what happened before. Now that they see these reports, they naturally feel relieved.
Among them, the happiest people, apart from Linda, Johnson and others, are the starring actors in the movie "The Love of Ghosts".
They were all under great pressure when they participated in this movie. Even Isabelle Adjani, who had always acted calm and calm, felt a little uneasy in her heart.
But now this movie is not only successful, but also very successful, which has brought them tangible benefits!
Mel Gibson personally called Wu Jianye to express his gratitude. When he chose to join this movie, he originally just wanted to expand his popularity in Europe. Now it seems that he is not only famous in Europe, but also in North America.
The reputation will also be greatly improved because of this movie.
The release of two consecutive movies with a box office of over 100 million allowed Mel Gibson to ask for more money when negotiating with other production companies in Hollywood!
