At noon, it should be a time for many people to eat and rest.

Well, the employees of Hollywood Film Company are no exception. However, when WB TV, a subsidiary of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, broadcasted the "Daily Entertainment" news program at noon, reported the box office revenue on December 15.

$8.24 million!

That's right, in just one morning, the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" achieved box office results of more than 8 million US dollars from more than 2,700 cinemas.

Well-deserved No. 1!

Do you watch other movies?

As of noon, the movie that temporarily ranked second in the box office on that day was Paramount Pictures' "One Hundred Percent" which received a box office of $3.27 million;

No. 3, "Transformation of Kings" produced by Disney, currently earning $1.79 million in box office;

No. 4, Universal Pictures’ "Family Man", the protagonist of the film is the current popular star Nicholas Cage, who earned $1.58 million in box office that day;

No. 5 is Miramax Film's "Love Chocolate".

The film was released just today, but compared with "Harry Potter", "Hany Man" and "Transformed King" released at the same time, they are much weaker. Well, it is not just a contest between the movie itself, but more of a game between the distribution company and theater companies.

The results are obvious...

No. 2 to 5, the box office earned on that day was not as strong as the Harry Potter's performance.

Blasted out!

Hollywood film companies nowadays, where do they care about whether it is lunch and rest time? One counts the other, and they are all blown up.

“It’s incredible!”

Warner's Barry Mayer: "By the hot performance of the British film market, I knew it would achieve a pretty good result in the American box office market, but at the moment when the results were really revealed, I still felt full of shock."

.........

"I can only use words such as shock, shock, surprise, etc. to express my mood at this moment!"

20th Century Fox Films and News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch said in surprise: "Although its lead at this moment only represents the lead as of noon, I dare say that even in the golden age of watching movies at night, Harry Potter will definitely outperform any film released at the same time."

Murdoch's words have praised the movie "Harry Potter".

But!

His heart was still a little sore.

Too damn perverted!

He had previously speculated that "Harry Potter" could make a big hit in North America, but he never expected it to be so exciting.

"100% Men" has 3,300 cinemas;

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has only 2,700 theaters released;

The former has more than 400 cinemas released than the latter, but the box office between the two has been over, and the difference is quite large.

"It's amazing!"

Murdoch sighed: "This year's champion of North American box office rankings is Wald Pictures. First, "Spider-Man" has a huge global box office of more than 800 million US dollars, and now "Harry Potter" is riding the wind and waves. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

...........

Paramount Pictures.

At this moment, the crew of "100% Men" which is promoting the film on Paramount Pictures' TV station is also shocked.

From director to producer, from producer to actor, everyone has extremely ugly faces.

Especially Mel Gibson, the actor of the film's male lead, his face was extremely flushed.

"Damn it!"

"Why does it surpass my movie?"

"The "100% Men" starring me is the best romantic comedy movie this year, but it is not as good as a fantasy fairy tale starring a bunch of children!"

"It's so hateful!"

Mel Gibson immediately cursed.

The whole Hollywood admits that Mel Gibson is a very excellent actor. His films starring "The Deadly Weapon", "Brave Heart", "Mad Max" and other movies are all movies with both reputation and box office, but his hot temper is also well-known.

Moody!

This is also a label given to him by the outside world.

However, before 2004, before he blew up the Jewish people after drinking, these shortcomings were overshadowed by his high popularity.

At this moment, his angry expression was so angry that even if many people on the scene were upset, no one would offend him.

"The Harry Potter movie, a group of children's random movies, can actually achieve such a high box office, which is simply a joke!"

"Does movie audiences have such a bad aesthetic taste today?"

Mel Gibson scolded the audience again.

Hearing this, the director of the show immediately changed his face and said in a deep voice: "Mel, pay attention to your words. And you all, I don't want what you hear and see here today to appear in front of the world."

Everyone was stunned, but nodded.

Mel Gibson's face also changed, but he was stubborn and did not change.

Insulting the audience?

Haha, as long as the matter is exposed, let alone a Hollywood actor, even those well-known directors can't stand it. Even the boss of a film company will definitely not dare to scold the audience in public.

.........

Touchstone Film, Dimen Entertainment, Yijiang Entertainment, Xinyi Film......

The bosses of these film companies were also bombed out.

Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate Pictures, sighed: "We all guessed it wrong. This year's Christmas schedule does not belong to the Big Six Hollywood, but to Wald Pictures!"

Shea, the owner of Xinyi Film Industry, said sourly: "This year is Zhuke, that guy is lucky. Look at it next year, and wait until my "The Lord of the Rings" is released~"

Patrick, one of the three giants of Peak Entertainment, said horrified: "No matter what the result is, the Christmas schedule controlled by the six major Hollywood players, which is almost monopolized by large companies, has been pried open by Wald Pictures. This is definitely good news for us small and medium-sized film companies."

Compared with the reactions of film festival colleagues, American movie audiences are much more pure.

“Isn’t this what good movies deserve?”

A teenager in his 20s said in an interview with a reporter at the entrance of the cinema: "Since I read the Harry Potter book in 1999, I have been a Harry Potter fan. Now that the movie is released, I will naturally buy tickets to enter the venue. I have to say that the movie is more exciting than the novel. When I see scenes in the book restored to the big screen, my heart is full of excitement."

There are also more moviegoers who are not willing to be lonely. After watching the movie, they leave messages online.

Little Mao Child: "Good movie, no explanation!"

Mengqi's family: "The little wizard is amazing!"

Long live Lewis: "I can watch the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movie three times! No! Ten times!"

...........

Many movie audiences' discussions and comments on major forums attracted a large number of viewers who had the desire to buy tickets in a very short time.

For a time, the box office of "Harry Potter" became more and more like a snowball.

As time passes, time comes to night. As the golden moment of watching movies, Harry Potter's box office growth has further broken down all the movies released during the same period.

It's a big win!

Three days ~

In the first three days of the first weekend, the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" achieved box office results of more than 80 million US dollars in more than 2,700 cinemas in North America.

The whole country is sensation again!
Chapter completed!
