76 million!
This is the box office of Zhu Xian on the first day. Although it does not exceed the 86 million box office of Avatar on its first day of release in the mainland, this box office result is enough to disdain the entire mainland and even the entire Asian film industry.
What made Liu Zongsheng even more relieved was that in addition to its poor ticket sales on the first day, Zhu Xian received very positive reviews. This is not the result of Haina spending money to control reviews, but the reviews of real movie fans. It is precisely because he knows the authenticity that Liu Zongsheng can put his heart into his stomach.
With this result and this evaluation, even if Zhu Xian is not as good as Avatar, which grossed more than 1.7 billion at the box office in the mainland, it is definitely over one billion. As long as it exceeds one billion, it will also be the first movie in the mainland to break one billion. Boss Haina The position remains unquestionable.
If it jumps up to 1.5 billion, then even if it is not as good as Avatar's 1.7 billion, it will be hard for the scumbags to criticize it. After all, this result is worthy of the investment, and it is definitely not a slogan to promote the results of a big investment to make a scumbag.
Such results are enough for the officials, and they will even be extremely satisfied. Even if it is not 1.5 billion, officials will be satisfied enough if it exceeds 1 billion.
This proves that it’s not that the mainland can’t make good movies, and it doesn’t mean that it has to imitate foreign movies in order to sell at the box office. Shooting something unique to China can still be recognized by the market. This is what the authorities want and support.
Of course, there are also many little black people who are waiting silently, waiting for Zhu Xian's performance to suffer in the next few days, and then they will immediately jump out to criticize domestic movies for praising foreign movies.
But it's a pity that Zhu Xian didn't give him this opportunity. After setting a domestic film box office record of 76 million on the first day, the box office of Zhu Xian's movie did not fall but rose to over 80 million the next day.
Then it reached 85 million on the third day and exceeded 200 million in three days, once again setting a new record for domestic films. Liu Zongsheng, who was initially relieved, felt his heart pick up again. Based on this result, it seems that it is not impossible to surpass Avatar.
Unfortunately, this expectation was shattered on the fourth day. The box office reached a peak of 85 million and then began to fall back. The box office on the fourth day was only 84 million.
Then it was 82 million on the fifth day, and the box office in the first week broke the 500 million mark. Liu Zongsheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when it didn't exceed 600 million.
However, if the box office exceeds 500 million in the first week, it is basically no problem for the Zhu Xian movie to exceed 1 billion. It is also expected that 1.5 billion will not be an extravagant hope.
In this way, Liu Zongsheng received various congratulatory calls during this period, and even officials called to congratulate him.
Nowadays, the topic of discussion on the Internet has finally changed from the clichéd discussion of whether Dong Yaya is suitable to play Baguio and whether Yang Zi is suitable for Lu Xueqi, to starting to discuss the content of the movie and the awesome special effects.
There are even many posts on the Internet that Tong Yaya is the best Baguio in his mind, and Yang Zi is Lu Xueqi in his mind. The number of Weibo fans of the two people increased by one million in just one week.
Those fans who had complained about their own little flower beds or their idols suddenly disappeared and lost their voices. Because these people leave messages on Tong Yaya or Yang Zi's Weibo saying that they are not suitable for the heroine in Zhu Xian.
Fans of the two of them only need to reply: My star's movie has a box office of over 500 million in the first week. Does your star's total box office exceed 500 million? Instantly let these fans who are looking for trouble break their defense.
While there was a temporary lull on the domestic Internet, and stars who had never been famous in Zhu Xianzhong began to gain fans like crazy, many people focused their attention abroad.
Zhu Xian, which was released in mainland China for one week, will be released globally on June 16 in Europe and the United States, as well as in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and other countries.
In particular, the European and American box office is the main source of box office for a movie's international success, so everyone is focused on the final number of these two box offices. Although the first-day box office cannot determine the quality of a movie, it definitely It's a weathervane.
Not only are mainlanders paying attention to the box office of Zhu Xian on the first day of its overseas release, but Yang Dongxu, who was born in the United States, is also paying attention to the box office on the first day of its overseas release. However, the concern is not so much that it makes him unable to sleep.
So after waking up, I first went for a run and exercised, then went home to make soup for Dai'er and make breakfast. When everything was settled and I sat down at the dining table to have breakfast, I slowly took out my turned off mobile phone and opened it, browsing through the series of messages.
55 million US dollars, this is the North American box office of Zhu Xian on its first day. When Yang Dongxu saw this number, he was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Including the box office in Europe, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, the overseas box office of Zhu Xian on the first day reached an astonishing US$112 million. This is definitely a feat that has never been achieved by a Chinese film.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but sigh that after so many years of cultivation, he finally harvested plump and tender leeks. And if you can cut the first crop, it will be easier to cut the second crop.
For example, the discussion on Zhu Xian abroad is currently more lively than in China, because compared to the current times, China's unique extraordinary terms such as golden elixir, Yuanying, spiritual energy, and spiritual consciousness cannot be fully understood.
The movie is much more straightforward. I can’t understand the meaning of the words, but I can understand it very clearly when watching the movie. Especially the cool special effects fight, which is more exciting than watching a spaceship explode in a science fiction movie.
Many foreigners even directly asked on Twitter whether there are really gods in China. After all, the United States has extraordinary characters such as Spider-Man and Captain America. It seems that it is not impossible that there are gods in China.
After all, many foreigners believe in Jesus, which means they believe in the existence of God. The filming of Zhu Xian is so realistic, and the characters in it are made to look like real cultivators under the special effects, which makes many people yearn for it.
After all, domestic audiences who have been influenced by various traditional stories about gods and monsters, and have been influenced by online articles, were shocked when they saw Zhu Xian, and began to believe that there really are gods in this world, and even mentioned these foreigners who have never seen the world. Dude.
"The premiere results are so good. If we increase the publicity, we won't say it will surpass Avatar, but at least it will be in the top ten Hollywood box office movies, right?" Dai'er, who also saw the results of Zhu Xian's overseas release, couldn't help but said.
"Then it will be interesting to see whether those capital lords in Hollywood want face or money." A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth.
Yang Dongxu was right to ridicule. At this time, the bosses of several major Hollywood film companies and several big bosses of theaters gathered together to discuss the movie Zhu Xian.
The focus of the discussion is whether you want money or face. The big bosses in the theater must want money. After all, how much is face worth?
Moreover, you may not encounter such a sharp sickle only once in several years. Last year, wielding Avatar was twice as exciting as cutting leeks. This year, although there are a few movies that can be watched, there are also big productions in the second half of the year.
But no one can guarantee whether a big production will be a hit. After all, there are too many big productions that hit the blockbuster in Hollywood.
So after finally encountering Zhu Xian's sharp scythe, they naturally didn't want to let it go. Without much deliberate arrangement of the screen, and even suppressing the opponent by default, the box office on the first day reached 55 million US dollars.
If we provide more screens, and then notify Heiner Company to spend more money on publicity, it is foreseeable that the money will flow into the pockets, and no one will be tempted by such a large amount of money.
But the bosses of Hollywood film companies obviously want face rather than money. After all, they feel that they have cultivated the cake of Hollywood movies, and even the entire world of movies.
They can only come here to eat and share the cake. You, a foreigner like Haina, can be king and dominate in Asia, but you can go to Europe and the United States, the home of Hollywood, to boost the box office. What do you want to do, Haina? When they are all dead?
