Coquettish Rebirth

In the end, at the end of the month, after the Christmas schedule, it was really tragic.However, in the week after Christmas, that is, during the six or seven days from the 25th to the 31st, the box office competition is not so fierce, because many films have already started to be released in mid-November It was already at the end of the release period, and all the films that should be offline have been offline, so the box office of the remaining films has also improved.

On the last day of December, "The Grinch", which grossed more than 12 million in the first weekend, has been booming at the box office.According to Jia Hongjian's information from the theaters, in the week from 5000th to 20th, "The Grinch" successfully won another 26 million at the box office.Although the box office of this week seems to be similar to the first weekend, but in just 5200 days, the box office has already reached hundreds of millions!In the next few days from the 10th to the 26st, the box office began to drop, only a little over 31 million US dollars.However, January 2000st is another Friday in the future, so maybe a few million dollars will pop up this weekend, and the box office may eventually remain between 1 million and 1 million this week.In this way, in just three weeks of effort, the box office is basically equivalent to an investment!Although the box office at this time is still divided between theaters and film dealers, after all, the film dealers are divided into big ones, and theaters are divided into small ones. There are still many weeks to be released in the future, and there will even be videotapes and DVDs in the end. These are all movies. The company is purely profitable, not to mention overseas box office!Even if overseas is only divided, it can earn a lot!From this point of view.Jim Kelly once again proved his box office appeal!

At the beginning, due to the suppression of "The Grinch", the box office of "Spy Belle" was not good. This film invested 4500 million US dollars, but the box office in the first week was only a pitiful 1000 million US dollars!However, during the few days between the 26th and 31st in the second week, because there were a lot fewer competitors, the box office suddenly rebounded!In just a few days, the box office reached 1400 million, which is higher than the first week!And that's before it's Friday!Looking back and adding Friday, Saturday and Sunday from January 2000st to [-]rd, the box office for this week may be [-] million!

On the other side, there is a piece of "Horse" by Matt Damon's kid.Also ushered in a good day.When it was released on the 22nd.They had a poor box office of 130 million in the first week, but they also ushered in a big rebound from the 29th to the 31st, and the score reached 486 million US dollars in a few days!Including weekends, nothing else.More than 500 million is still possible!But even so.Jia Hongjian reckoned that this film still wouldn't be able to earn back the investment.Because the investment is 700 million US dollars!If it is a box office of 500 million US dollars every week.Let's roughly calculate that it will take about 12 consecutive weeks to make the box office equal to the investment.yes?Such a film may not have the chance to be released on videotape or DVD, and it is not certain whether it can last for ten weeks!And although the box office had a surge after Christmas, it will definitely drop slowly afterwards.Therefore, this film must lose everything!

On the other hand, "Drug Network", which had a box office of 25 US dollars in the first week, was released in only four theaters, and the box office has risen all the way, rising to such a powerful result of 30 US dollars!Then, they will start the official large-scale release on January 1th!At that time, it might become a very competitive competitor of Jia Hongjian and the others!As for Jia Hongjian's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the box office was even better.

Although it was released in early November, it created a magical record of 11 million box office at the beginning, but because Chinese audiences watched it, the box office dropped to a certain extent, and gradually fell to about 500 million.However, although it has entered December and entered the period of the most intense competition in the Christmas schedule, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not declined, but is slowly rising!For example, from December 280nd to 12th, the original box office was only a little over 22 million, but if the 24th was included, the box office for this week would be 260 million!Then from the 25th to the 360st, it's not even the weekend yet, so there are already 26 million results!And before the large-scale supply on January 31, the total box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has reached 320 million!Just the share from here can basically be said to be back!

It will be released next, and it will also usher in a larger-scale movie theater schedule!In the first week of the large-scale release, there will be 837 movie theaters showing it together!Although it sounds like it is much worse than the 3000 movie theaters at every turn some time ago, but don't forget, this is a literary film!Other movie theaters have to take their time too!People are also afraid that they will die suddenly on the first day of the large-scale release!So trying to do an experiment with almost three times the number of original 280 movie theaters, this is already very good!After all, it will be in a quarter of all movie theaters in the United States!And it doesn't mean that there will be 800 companies in the future, but that if the results are better in the future, it is not impossible to increase!It is even possible that as the performance improves, it is not impossible that more than [-] theaters will screen "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Soon, January 1st will arrive.For this large-scale screening, Zhou Runfa and the others had to come over again to attend the "premiere ceremony" again.This premiere ceremony was much more exciting than the first one, and many media reporters came to report.After all, this is the first Chinese film to achieve such a good result in the United States, which is a rare thing!However, Jia Hongjian did not go this time.As he said, he is the boss behind the scenes, and there is no need to follow the front line every time.At the first premiere, it was normal for him to go there, but now the so-called premiere is actually going through a cutscene. It's false, why are we still fooling ourselves and getting so excited?Let's just sit tight on Diaoyutai and wait for the results to be released after the premiere that day!

Now many of these theaters in the United States have undergone digital transformation, and they all sell tickets by computer, so the box office does not need to be counted until a long time after the movie screening ends-if you really want to get the data earlier, you can count it right after the opening!After all, how fast is the computer counting how many tickets are sold?Then about an hour after the movie ends, the theater company above the movie theater can summarize the total box office of these movie theaters, and then summarize it with other movie theaters, and the data for this single show will come out!

Jia Hongjian knew that the film would be good, so not only did he not go to the "premiere" at this time, he even read the book without worrying or caring at all.His calm appearance made Ye Jing quite curious.In Ye Jing's eyes, the current Jia Hongjian is really strange. It is obviously very exciting, but this Jia Hongjian is sitting there with his legs crossed and reading a book, and he doesn't know if he is really reading it. Still pretending... "Hung-chien, what book are you reading?" She leaned forward and asked.

"Read a book introducing living habits in the Middle Ages. It is said that in the Middle Ages in Europe, people didn't realize that they had to drink cold boiled water, and they didn't know that the water had to be boiled to drink. They drank raw water, so they were prone to get sick. Then Merchants and aristocrats with a little money, as long as their wealth can support them, they drink as much as they can, at least drinking is more hygienic than drinking water... I said why do white people like drinking so much, they just pour a glass of wine to drink when they have nothing to do, It turned out that their ancestors were so stupid, they didn’t even know that they boiled water to sterilize it, and then let it cool to drink... These idiots! By the way, they don’t know that pork pigs are going to be gelded! In our country’s "Zuo Zhuan" I mentioned that if a pig is not castrated, its skin will be thick and its fur will grow aggressive, but after it is gelded, its skin will grow thin and it will not be aggressive. I guess Europeans didn’t know that they had to bleed pigs before slaughtering them. I guess their pork If it smells fishy, ​​you can't eat it... What a savage!" Jia Hongjian shook his head and said so.

"Are they so stupid?" Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, but soon she realized that she didn't come here to ask this question! "By the way, aren't you worried about the box office?" She stared at Jia Hongjian with wide eyes, trying to notice every subtle expression on Jia Hongjian's face.However, Jia Hongjian didn't have any intentionally hidden expression on his face at this time. He shrugged his shoulders as a matter of course, "Didn't I say that I have confidence in this film. Or I have confidence in Ang Lee. Although Ang Lee is not likable in other aspects, he is still talented in making movies, and this must be admitted."

"Oh...how much do you think we can make at the box office this time?" Ye Jing asked undeterred.Obviously she is not as calm as Jia Hongjian, obviously she is very curious! "Box office, 800 movie theaters... Well, it's estimated to be 800 million? The larger the scope of the movie's release, the more movie theaters will show it, and naturally the box office of a single movie theater will be lower in a single day. I estimate that it is about 800 US dollars. But Well, it’s the holiday season again, and many Americans will go out for vacation, so they may not have time to read it, so I discounted it, and estimated that it can reach [-] million in the three days of the weekend.” After thinking about it, Jia Hongjian gave such a judge.

“两千600万……三天……800万……那我们到了一月三号票房就能有三千400万了？真好！估计下周能赚个600万？这样一来就4000万了！这能创国产电影在美国这边的票房纪录了？”叶静激动的问道。(未完待续。。)
