Chapter 409 Breaking 100 million in three days!
August 4th.
According to previous years' experience, the trend of watching blockbusters in the summer season in August can be said to have gradually passed.
But this year is completely different!
The movie "Spider-Man" has ignited the desire of countless movie viewers to buy tickets and watch movies!
Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Washington... The theater market across the United States has as many as 3,600 cinemas, all of which will be screened "Spider-Man".
There are 3,600 cinemas opening!
The number of paintings alone is enough to beat all monsters and monsters.
As one of the six major Hollywood directors, 20th Century Fox is amazing enough. However, when the X-Men was released not long ago, the number of books it opened was only more than 2,800.
"What does this mean?"
The head of Ximanke Cinema, one of the three major theaters in the United States, said in an interview with the media: "Of course we are optimistic about the potential of "Spider-Man"! Of course, some people will say that Ximanke is one of the investors in "Spider-Man", so we arranged so many openings."
"But, I tell you, you were wrong!"
"From the day I saw Spider-Man's film, I was full of confidence in its market potential!"
"Not only we Ximanke, but even many theater companies such as Emperor Entertainment, Amc, White, etc. are full of confidence in "Spider-Man".
"The number of paintings in 3,600 cinemas is not a top in film history, but it is definitely enough to rank in the top ten!"
The theater company's information about "Spider-Man" is no less than that of the production company Wald Pictures, and even more so.
The reporters of media and newspapers are also ready to move today, paying attention to Spider-Man's box office situation at any time.
Movie audiences and comic fans also bought tickets and watched movies as soon as possible.
Wald Pictures.
Zhuke personally took charge of the company, and President Bill, the old man, went to the front line of command.
"Everything moves!"
"Today's publicity efforts are increasing, and I'm increasing!"
"You ask me about the publicity funds?"
"Haha, Mr. Wald is here in person. What do you think? Spend me money and spend money hard! I want the news about Spider-Man to be overwhelmed today!"
The old Bill is still old. Even though he has become a little tired these days, his excited spirit still infected countless employees.
Man, Spider-Man!
With a production cost of $150 million and a promotional cost of $60 million, it can be said to be the film with the most investment and the greatest hope since its establishment!
No one can be careless!
Zhu Ke's attitude can be seen when he comes to take charge.
"In the original time and space, "Spider-Man 1" was released in the summer of 2002. At that time, less than a year had passed in 9/11, and was immersed in grief across the United States. The emergence of the superhero of "Spider-Man" gave many people hope and was one of the keys to the box office explosion."
"However, now?"
"911 did not happen in 2000!"
Although Zhuke was full of confidence in Spider-Man, he was inevitably worried. At the same time, he was full of expectations.
"Boss, once "Spider-Man" has achieved great success, then we, Wald Pictures, will definitely rise completely." Kevin Feige was very excited.
What is the standard configuration for large film companies?
One important key is that it can successfully produce a first-line commercial production of Class A with a cost of over 100 million US dollars!
Previously, Wald Pictures released a number of excellent films, achieving many movies with box office of over 100 million.
Even Water World Animation's "Finding Nemo" has swept over $900 million in the global market.
But what about the big production?
The "Spider-Man" movie is the first movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan and over 200 million yuan!
Its importance is related to the fate of Wald Pictures!
Zucker is paying attention to "Spider-Man", and many film companies are paying attention to "Spider-Man".
How many of its three-day box office in the first weekend can it have?
$50 million?
$60 million?
$62 million?
It won't exceed $64 million, right?!
You should know that as of August 2000, the film and television record of the first three-day box office in North America was "Star Wars Prequel 1".
In 1999, "Star Wars Prequel 1" produced by George Lucas was the box office in the North American market for three days in the first weekend, and it harvested $64.38 million in one fell swoop, making it the holder of the current record.
At the same time, movies with a box office of over $50 million in the first three days of the first weekend are only a handful of movies, no more than 30 movies.
There are only 4 movies with a box office of over $60 million in the first three days.
[How many box offices can "Spider-Man" have in the first three-day weekend?]
——California Entertainment News.
As a hard-core Wald Pictures fantasy, the California Entertainment News and the Los Angeles Entertainment News are naturally singing praises to Spider-Man in their articles.
Their shameless and dog-licking spirit has successfully attracted the attention of many citizens and has also made many people think of buying tickets and watching movies.
.........
The day of August 4th passed quickly.
"Spider-Man" earned $33 million in one fell swoop!
Blasted!
In just one day, countless film companies were frightened.
Xinyi Film boss Xie Yi: "Just this first-day box office is enough to rank in the top 20 film history!"
.........
On August 5, Spider-Man received $39 million!
The box office of this day was undoubtedly more than 6 million US dollars higher than the first day.
Blasted again!
Today, all companies in the Hollywood industry have been bombed out.
In just two days, Spider-Man's box office has exceeded $72 million, breaking the previous box office record of $64.38 million in the first three-day North American weekend set by Star Wars Prequel 1.
"Oh my god~"
"God! Are you wrong? It's only 2 days!"
"In two days, the box office has accumulated more than 72 million US dollars. If one day is added, its box office will not exceed 100 million?!"
Many film companies were shocked!
How can you not be shocked?
"Star Wars Prequel 1" set a box office record of 64.38 million US dollars in three days of the first weekend in North America, which has shocked countless film companies. Some more senior people once said: Before 2010, it was impossible to achieve the box office of over 100 million in the first weekend in North America.
But what about now?
They were slapped in the face!!!
The box office of "Spider-Man" movie was only 2 days, exceeding more than 72 million US dollars, scaring many people.
The fans of the movie were also shocked!
"The box office exceeded 100 million in three days!"
“Spider-man!”
As expected...
When Monday arrived, the box office results of "Spider-Man" for the first weekend were released!
$109 million!
In the original time and space, "Spider-Man 1" was released in 2002, and its box office exceeded 115 million US dollars in three days in the first weekend, breaking the box office record of $97 million set by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" released in 2001.
"It's $6 million lower than the original one, but so what?"
"This is not the reason for "Spider-Man" itself, but the result of various factors such as 911 and the market environment!"
"The first weekend was $109 million in box office in three days, and the undisputed number one in film history!"
Zhu Ke clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was full of heroism.
On this day, many film companies went crazy, and media reporters and movie fans were also crazy!
