How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 84 $7000 million in the first week

1750 million US dollars on the first day.

1500 million US dollars the next day.

The third day of its release caught up with the small holiday on Friday, and [The Fifth Element] directly hit the box office, earning $2050 million in North America.

Then [The Fifth Element], which lasted for two days on the weekend, although the novelty has faded a lot, the box office dropped slightly.

But still won 1700 million US dollars.

In the first week of its release, [The Fifth Element] raked in a box office of 7000 million US dollars in North America.

At the same time, it was screened successively in major film markets around the world, and also won a box office of nearly 8000 million US dollars.

In other words, [The Fifth Element] grossed nearly 1.5 million US dollars at the global box office in its first week of release.

It can be regarded as a good start for the 1997 summer vacation in North America.

While box office hits for popcorn movies generally don't last.

Normally, the box office in the first week is basically one-third to one-fourth of the box office of the entire movie.

Therefore, if calculated in this way, the box office of [The Fifth Element] in North America will hit more than 2 million US dollars.

The global box office will hit more than 4 million US dollars.

This is already a very good result, and it can be ranked No.1997 in the global annual box office list in 4.

You must know that the global box office of the original version of "The Fifth Element" is only 2.63 million, which barely squeezed into No.9 in the top ten of the global annual box office rankings.

Through the scientific control variable method, compare the difference between the two versions of [The Fifth Element]: one has it, one does not, and the others remain unchanged.

Zhang Nan easily figured out that his current real box office appeal is close to 1.5 million US dollars.

Of course, the real box office appeal of this 1.5 million US dollars is based on the final box office of [The Fifth Element] of more than 4 million US dollars.

And this box office forecast of more than 4 million US dollars is based on the result of [The Fifth Element] being released without any other movie interference.

But North America is currently the No. [-] ticket warehouse in the global box office, and the summer vacation is the golden time for the No. [-] box office.

Any movie that wants to be released in this schedule will not be disturbed by other movies.

The difficulty is very high, just like daydreaming.

The main reason why Zhang Nan wants to do this daydream is that the reality is too cruel.

On May 23, in the third week of [The Fifth Element], [Jurassic Park 2] will premiere.

Many people may not have a more intuitive concept of the influence of the 1997 [Jurassic Park] series.

Let's put it this way, before Cameron's "Titanic" was born, George Lucas's "Star Wars" series prequel trilogy was still brewing at this time in May 1997.

Steven Spielberg is the undisputed NO.1 in the global commercial film industry.

The "Jurassic Park" series is Spielberg's career masterpiece.

In this era, global filmmakers and film and television companies have limited their imagination of how much box office a movie can get, and it is stuck at the figure of one billion US dollars worldwide.

And the reason why many people think that one billion dollars is already the limit of a movie, almost a number that no movie can reach.

The main reason is to use Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 1", which has won a total box office of 9.12 million US dollars worldwide as a reference.

And [The Fifth Element]'s opponent in the third week of release is the sequel of such a super masterpiece.

So if you don't dream now, when will you dream again?
-
The box office of [The Fifth Element] dropped sharply in the second week after its release.

It may be due to the imminent premiere of the blockbuster movie.

It may also be because [Fifth Element] did not live up to expectations, and followed the old path of the popcorn genre in the film market-short and weak.

【The Fifth Element】The weekly box office data in North America and the world has dropped by nearly 50.00% compared to the first week.

North America closed at US$3500 million, and other film markets around the world except North America closed at US$4000 million.

So far, [The Fifth Element]'s cumulative box office in North America has surpassed 1.05 million, reaching [-] million US dollars.

The cumulative global box office has surpassed 2.25 million US dollars.

The major movie box office forecasting agencies have also lowered the final global box office forecast of [The Fifth Element] from the previous 4 million to 3.5 million or 3 million.

This is all for the sake of Zhang Nan's previous [Magic Martial Art Museum]'s global box office of 4.8 million US dollars.

Those who didn't give Zhang Nan face even adjusted the global box office forecast of [The Fifth Element] to 2.5 million.

But... 2.5 million is still a bit of a nonsense, the global box office of [The Fifth Element] will probably be around 3 million.

And whether it is 4 million, or 3 million, or an outrageous 2.5 million.

For everyone in [The Fifth Element], this is a very acceptable ending.

There is no way not to accept it.

Director Luc Besson was originally engaged in art films in France.

This is the first time he has come to Hollywood to shoot a commercial film. With such achievements, it is already very good.

The box office of movies these days has not yet experienced inflation. It starts at [-] billion and can be topped by a billion or so. At this time, the box office of a movie can exceed [-] million, which is considered quite successful.

The investor Colombia is more acceptable.

Columbia voted for this film in order to try Luc Besson's ability, and the expectation for "The Fifth Element" is that it will not lose money.

Now even the lowest expectation has a box office of 2.5 million US dollars.

Including a little bit of peripheral income, there is no problem at all for Columbia to make tens of millions of dollars in profits from this movie.

As for Zhang Nan's performance in [The Fifth Element], he didn't really care.

If it really mattered, he wouldn't be stingy, and he wouldn't need any box office appeal.

[The Fifth Element] For Zhang Nan, the main purpose is to have a better relationship with Luc Besson, the future big director, and the second is to gain some box office.

Finally, with the success of [The Fifth Element], I tried to transform from a kung fu superstar.

It now appears that all three of Zhang Nan's goals have been achieved.

The only one who was somewhat dissatisfied was old Luke.

"It's a pity that Spielberg's [Jurassic Park 23] will be released on the 2rd. Otherwise, [The Fifth Element] can get more box office in North America and hit 1.5 million. Now [-] million is difficult. !"

Old Luke looked at the box office forecast made in the newspaper, and his tone was full of pity.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan didn't take it seriously, and wanted to say something to Old Luke: Do you think that the North American summer vacation stalls are run by your family, and you can dominate as long as you want?
But when Old Luke mentioned [Jurassic Park 2], Zhang Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Previously, his Golden Finger had accumulated a box office appeal of 9.38 million U.S. dollars, and he didn't spend a penny on [The Fifth Element].

And this time [The Fifth Element], it is estimated that the global box office can reach [-] million US dollars.

Even if it is 1.5 million, he can directly harvest 10.88 million in box office appeal, which is [-] billion US dollars, and Golden Finger's box office appeal directly exceeds one billion.
