Chapter 433 Consecutive championship! 1.8 million dollars! (The first update asks for completeness! Ask for a monthly pass!)
""Edge of Tomorrow" won a global box office of 5730 million US dollars in the first weekend, surpassing "Tangled" with 5200 million US dollars, and topped the global weekly box office rankings!"

"The domestic sci-fi blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" that is currently being screened has exploded in the global film market in December. It has exploded at the box office in North America, Europe, and Asian countries. champion!"

"The first weekend of "Edge of Tomorrow" in mainland China was 2.14 million yuan, setting a box office record in the first four days, and the first weekend in Southeast Asia was 880 million US dollars, creating the best start for Chinese-language films in Southeast Asia. box office!"

"As Director Tang An said at the premiere, Huaguo also has its own sci-fi films. Not only that, our sci-fi films have also conquered audiences all over the world!"

"Domestic blockbuster ≠ 5 Mao special effects, "Edge of Tomorrow" dominates the global film market!"

"Tang An became the first mainland director to be the world's weekly box office champion, and he is well-deserved as the number one commercial director in China!"

"Edge of Tomorrow" topped the global box office for the week, which is definitely explosive news for the domestic film market, even Tang An himself did not expect it.

Has any domestic film ever done this before?

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" should not have it, and "Kung Fu Dream" seems to not have it either.

Even if there are two films, the former is co-produced with Sony, and the latter cannot be regarded as a domestic film.

But "Edge of Tomorrow" is a well-established domestic film with no investment or creative staff from outside the mainland, and it is not an action movie by Cheng Long or Li Lianjie, nor is it a costume blockbuster.

It's a sci-fi film that is perfectly normal in Hollywood. This type of film is very rare in China, but it is rotten in Hollywood.

The news began to spread on the Internet starting in the afternoon, and the paper media still needs some time, probably by tomorrow morning.

In a movie theater, the audience who bought tickets and waited to enter the theater were playing with their mobile phones, and suddenly there were several craps.

"Fuck! It's true, "Edge of Tomorrow" has sold more than 1000 million US dollars in the United States, and more than 1000 million US dollars in Europe and Asia combined."

"Including the domestic 3000 million, it's more than 5000 million US dollars in just a few days, it's too scary!"

"It should be true. Tengxun, Xinlang, and Sohu have all reported it, and the Baidu homepage has a few words, unless they collectively lost their minds and went crazy."

"It's too ambitious, I have to support it. I'll watch "The Orphan of Zhao" when I have time in two days."

"I'm afraid the global box office will cost three to four billion U.S. dollars, but it will cost more than 20 billion yuan in RMB."

"A movie sells more than 20 billion yuan, and building a house is not so profitable!"

online.

"5730 million in the first week, there is no doubt that Tang An's domestic commercial film No. 1?"

"There is no need to be black now, unless "If You Are the One 2" also explodes!"

"I see that if Zhang Yimou's next movie doesn't break out, Tang An is definitely qualified to become the number one director in China!"

"Let all the crooked nuts watch our movie, it's so frustrating."

"Now Tang An is going to become a famous international director, and Liu Ye and Tang Yan might also enter Hollywood."

"This is a real box office. Isn't it [-] times better than those shamelessly boasting about international superstars at foreign film festivals on the red carpet?"

Now "Edge of Tomorrow" can be called crazy in China. "Orphan of Zhao", which didn't have much box office before, dropped below 500 million in a single day during the new week. "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" is released, maybe it won't break [-] million.

Brother Chen Kai will inevitably be harassed by reporters, but he has no way to refute Tang An's question. If he sprays it in front of absolute data, he will be mentally handicapped. with a face.

Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and other directors were frequently approached by reporters, most of whom expressed congratulations and hoped that domestic films would get better and better.

When it comes to his own movie, he must not lose his confidence. Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth with pride and then blew out 10 billion cowhide.

Regardless of whether you can do it or not, blow it out first and then talk about it.

Besides, "If You Are the One 2" will be released for some time, and by then "Edge of Tomorrow" will gradually fade away, and it is not without chance.

As the No.1 domestic director, Zhang Yimou first praised Tang An, and then announced the latest news about his new film.

"For the filming of "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", the Shiqiu film and television base has been completely set up. Currently, our producer is in contact with Hollywood superstar Christian Bale. This will be the first domestic film with Hollywood superstars participating!"

Zhang Yimou is also ambitious, inviting Hollywood superstars to enter the North American market.

The madness of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still going on, and Tang An is also leading the crew around the country.

第二周，12月6号-12号再度拿下2.86亿票房，上映11天总票房高达5亿。

But this week, "The Orphan of Zhao" only got a box office of 3600 million, plus the previous two days, a total of 9 million in 6100 days, which is extremely miserable.

The box office of the newly released "Laughing Jianghu" is not bad, and it took 5000 million in four days on the weekend, a little higher than "The Orphan of Zhao".

The three blockbuster films, I thought there was a fight between dragons and tigers, but it turned out that it had no effect on "Edge of Tomorrow".

Overseas box office statistics are a little late, and they didn't come out until the next morning.

The box office in North America is still soaring, with a super high box office of 7 million in 1860 days.

North America is different from China, the 7-day weekend in the second week will not be lower than the 4-day weekend in the first week, or even higher.

However, in North America, the box office often accounts for one-third or even half of the total box office on the first three days. Because "Edge of Tomorrow" was not well-known in the early stage, more and more audiences knew about this movie a week after its release, and the theaters where it was released had already risen. When it reached 2800, which was close to the scale of blockbuster movie releases, it achieved a substantial increase.

The weekly box office is still ranked third, squeezing out "Harry Potter 20", which has been in theaters for more than 7 days, but this week there is a new film "The Chronicles of Narnia", airborne to the championship.

In other markets around the world, "Edge of Tomorrow" once again won the box office of 1900 million, slightly higher than the 1610 million in the first week.

Including the 4000 million US dollars in the mainland, it still won the global weekly box office champion with 7470 million US dollars in the second week.

Two consecutive championships!
In the third week, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was released in the mainland on Thursday. Its box office exceeded 3000 million on the first day, and 4 million in 1.6 days, which was higher than the total box office of any of his films.

"Laughing Rivers and Lakes" only took in 5500 million in the second week, which was greatly affected by the two films, but the total box office successfully broke through [-] million. Xiao Shen Yang, who became popular because of the Spring Festival Gala, also stepped into the big screen.

"Edge of Tomorrow" dropped a lot this week, only getting 1.84 million. The total box office in the mainland plus the 7600 million spot screenings was a total of 7.5 million.

The overseas box office also dropped in the third week. Including North America, it totaled 2500 million U.S. dollars, and the global single-week box office was just over 5000 million U.S. dollars.

However, it failed to achieve three consecutive weekly box office championships. This week, the Hollywood blockbuster "Tron Legacy" began to be released. The first weekend in North America was 4500 million in the first three days. Including some overseas box office currently released, the first week reached 6000 million.

In the 3 weeks since its release, the box office in the mainland was 7.5 million, and the global box office was 1.82 million US dollars.

Columbia and MediaCorp are responsible for overseas publicity. No matter if you don’t worry about it, you can only leave it to them.
Movies released by Hollywood giants will inevitably be picked up in some countries in Europe and Asia. There is no way.

At this point, Tang An didn't do any publicity anymore, and the crazy media and movie fans all spontaneously promoted the movie.

Liu Ye and Tang Yan led a group to run all over the country. Tang An was interviewed by the media, magazines, and TV stations every day in the capital, and they couldn't get in line. He had to fly over to join the crew every few days.

Anyway, push away everything that can be pushed, whether it is "Edge of Tomorrow" or Tang An, there is no need for these anymore.

On Sunday the 19th, Tang An was still in the company, holding a document sent by Zhou You and New Media to study it carefully.

"Edge of Tomorrow" suddenly became popular, and the overseas box office has reached 8000 million US dollars, which makes Tang An a little puzzled.

After spending two hours flipping through the documents, Tang An finally understood the reason for his success.

3D, this is the main reason.

After "Avatar", there are basically few 3D movies in the world. The fake 3D movies in Hollywood are only available in the mainland, and the 2D versions are used in other regions.

"How to Train Your Dragon" is the 3D version, which took nearly 5 million box office worldwide, ranking in the top ten of the year.

Overseas audiences have not been stimulated by pseudo 3D, and are still very interested in 3D movies.

It's no wonder that Hollywood doesn't have many 3D movies. If you want to do a good job in 3D, whether it's real shooting or conversion, it's a huge sum of money.

The conversion of "Titanic" cost 1800 million US dollars and was produced by the famous Hollywood special effects company DDMG.

Don't think that the 1800 million US dollars is much higher than the 5000 conversion fee of "Edge of Tomorrow". In fact, considering the various gaps, "Edge of Tomorrow" costs more and does better than "Titanic".

The most important thing in converting 3D is the labor cost. Each frame is calculated hundreds of times to obtain the most accurate data for modeling. The more accurate the data, the better the effect.

Tang An recruited 900 special effects personnel to work on it for seven or eight months, and it was still going on. More than 300 people worked on "Titanic" for half a year.

For the cost of special effects alone, there is about an exchange rate difference between doing it in Hollywood and doing it in China, which is equivalent to achieving the 3D effect of "Edge of Tomorrow" in Hollywood, which is estimated to cost 5000 million US dollars.

For 5000 million U.S. dollars, it takes two or three times the box office to pay back.

The cost of blockbuster films is inherently high, and Hollywood producers simply won't do it.

As for those fake 3D cutouts, it costs 500 million in China, and 500 million in Hollywood, US dollars.

Therefore, there are few 3D movies shown in the United States, and they are all converted and shown in the mainland.

It is also the legendary mainland special offer. Later, even Xiangjiang movies did this. "Cold War 2" Xiangjiang was still 2D, but it became 3D when it arrived in the mainland.
