Marvel movies, which look brisk and have a fast pace, will have a very short theatrical shelf life.

Therefore, "Avengers" does not have the ability to stay in theaters for a long time like "Inception", so the first week box office is crucial.

Perhaps for a film like this, a box office explosion in the first week will set a new record.

At the end of Friday, the front-page headlines of all North American media were all about the news that "Avengers" had grossed over 100 million yuan in a single day.

"'The Avengers' opened with a bang, breaking box office records on the first day."

"In the early hours of the morning, The Avengers landed in the North American summer season, and the midnight show of $1970 million set a new record for the midnight box office of superhero movies.

The film's popularity has since been unstoppable, with theater attendance on Friday more than tripling compared to the same period last week.

And "The Avengers" lived up to expectations. The reporter just learned the accurate data. "The Avengers" successfully broke the North American single-day box office record set by Gilbert Jr. himself with a data of 1 million US dollars."

"Dozens of people started arriving at three nearby movie theaters in New Orleans at 10 a.m., and after 15 minutes, each theater had received hundreds of people.

According to Doyle, the owner of a private cinema, they are busy from morning till night and have no time to rest. They don’t even have time to eat lunch because the fans are so enthusiastic.

"Reporters learned from AMG Cinemas and Imperial Cinemas that they have tried their best to free up theaters and schedule the largest screening for The Avengers, but it still cannot satisfy the enthusiastic audiences."

"'Avengers' not only set a single-day box office record, but also a single-day attendance record, with crazy fans crowding the cinema.

Even more outrageous is the peripheral product stores, which were like being robbed by robbers. All the peripheral products related to "Avengers" in the peripheral stores were "looted."

"The Texas border checkpoint uncovered a smuggling case of pirated peripheral products. The number of smuggled pirated products reached thousands, almost all of which were related to The Avengers.

It is reported that this batch of products was produced in the factory of Carris, the third largest drug dealer in Mexico, and was prepared to be sold in the United States through drug smuggling channels.

It is unbelievable that drug dealers stop selling drugs and start making pirated products.

But seeing the high box office and sales of peripheral products of "The Avengers", it doesn't seem strange. Every time Gilbert's movie is hit by pirated products, it is because his movies are so popular.

Making pirated peripherals is more profitable than selling drugs, and the risk is smaller. It is simply a highly profitable industry.

Gilbert Jr. and Marvel Studios executives were mentally prepared for the film's popularity, because they put a lot of effort into this film.

The scale of publicity for the film was extremely grand, with various topics continuing from the beginning of filming to its release.

Secondly, Marvel Studios has been preparing for the series for ten years. In just a few years, from "Iron Man" to "Thor", Marvel superheroes have frequently appeared on the big screen.

Finally, "The Avengers", directed by Gilbert Jr. himself, brought all the superheroes together and unleashed incredible energy.

The film is of high quality, exciting enough, and absolutely an outstanding big-screen entertainment masterpiece. Such movies have always been a popular type in the summer season.

The countless people who were expecting Gilbert Jr.'s "Avengers" to fail were disappointed. If "Avengers" failed, even for someone as powerful as Gilbert Jr., it would be a huge blow.

But unfortunately, "Avengers" was a success, and it was also the first film to exceed 100 million US dollars in box office in a single day.

If a film like this is called a failure, then other films should be called miserably failed, a complete failure.

David Ellison's home is located in the Santa Monica Beach Villa area of ​​Los Angeles.

His new girlfriend Alice Eve came back from the beach in a sexy bikini and saw David Ellison sitting on the porch in a daze with a cup of Chinese tea. "Darling, what are you thinking about?"

Alice Eve hooked her arms around David Ellison's neck, and her sexy figure seduced David Ellison in a subtle way.

However, David Ellison, who usually showed interest immediately, had no interest at all at this moment. His eyes were dull and he was mumbling unconsciously.

"He broke the record again, he broke the record again, he broke the record again..."

Alice Eve was stunned and wondered what the record was. Then she saw the newspaper on the table. The front-page headline was the news that "Avengers" had grossed over 100 million in a single day.

This is not the final box office, nor the box office for the first weekend, but the box office for the first day.

This exaggerated number, like a mountain, weighed on David Ellison's heart.

Ever since he entered Hollywood, he has been listening to the myth of Little Gilbert and watching his invincible style in the film market.

Later, David Ellison had heard enough and decided to put an end to this boring myth. Hollywood should have a new ruler.

But after so many years, Gilbert Jr. is still on the throne, and his position is getting more and more stable, without even a challenger. And he is still excluded from the mainstream circle of Hollywood.

This summer, Sky Studios has two movies, one is "Transformers 3" directed by Michael Bay. This series is Sky Studios' ace series.

There is also a feature film "The Help", starring Hollywood rising star Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain, Viola Davis and others.

However, Sky Studios' focus is still on "Transformers 3", after all, Sky Studios' profits depend entirely on it.

Of course, David Ellison also knows his own limitations and didn't use his own studio's flagship series to compete with "Avengers."

Obviously, after last year's disastrous failure, he also realized that it was quite unwise to compete head-on with Gilbert Jr. in the summer season.

Judging from the current results, this is indeed the case.

By the end of the night, the audience for the last "Avengers" screening had dispersed, but Marvel Studios and Disney still didn't let up.

Gilbert Jr. held a video conference with Marvel Studios and Disney's publicity and promotion department to ensure the future direction of the film.

In addition, Gilbert Jr. also used the Internet's "telepathy army" to drive the pace of the Internet. A large number of soft-text promotional film reviews were flooded in every corner of the Internet, and even on the forums of well-known adult websites, there were "telepathy army" to drive the pace.

If you don’t know, you might think it’s the Avengers filmed in the San Fernando Valley.

With the support of powerful publicity, "Avengers" maintained its strong performance on Saturday and theaters also maintained a very high attendance rate.

Although cinema chains were running at full capacity, enthusiastic audiences still packed the theaters, and even the POS machines used for payment were broken, forcing them to resort to cash payments.

Among these, there is one sales channel that stands out.

Since acquiring the IMDB website and incorporating it into Xigua Company to make it a subsidiary, Gilbert Jr. has been thinking about how to do something with IMDB's huge fan resources.

If it remains as it is, it will at most be a North American version of Douban, and the ultimate outcome will be being abandoned by the audience.

But Gilbert Jr. thinks that IMDB has great development potential and can be used to create a North American version of Maoyan Movies, that is, an online ticket purchasing system. (End of this chapter)
