Chapter 238 North America with Box Office Explosion

The box office of the film was 68700 US dollars in the first weekend, and each movie theater scored 11450 US dollars on average!

This result is eye-catching!
At the very beginning, everyone's expectation for Chen Xi and the others was that "Raid" could surpass the single-theater box office of 3000 US dollars. The market is at least the first to survive.

Then, things like the amount of films scheduled will gradually increase.

This is what they expect...

If the box office of "Raid" can exceed 5000 US dollars in a single theater, then this film will be regarded as the best performing Chinese film in the near future.

With six theaters, it can reach 3 U.S. dollars... After one month of screening, the North American box office of this film can exceed [-] U.S. dollars!
What everyone didn't expect was that the box office of "The Raid" was so strong that it could get more than 1 US dollars in one theater, and it was approaching the [-] US dollar mark in a week!
At the same time, these movie fans who participated in the screening of "The Raid" have actually had a pretty good movie-watching experience, and now the number of movie fans who have watched "The Raid" has reached more than 7000. It surpassed those audiences who watched "The Raid" at the Toronto Film Festival, and these audiences who watched "The Raid" obviously went back and rated "The Raid" on IMDB, and the scores they gave were actually not low...

Since "Raid" has started its official screening, the rating mode of this movie has also been opened on IMDB. Anyone who has their own ideas about this movie can score and post a movie review. Therefore, in the first weekend After the screening, the IMDB score of "The Raid" has reached a terrifying 8.2 points, and 678 fans participated in the rating.

Although it is said that as the movie is released for longer and more people watch and rate, the high score of 8.2 will basically drop, but so far, the score of 8.2 is indeed Explaining many problems, everyone's evaluation of this movie is indeed quite good.

And the conversion rate from ratings to movie reviews is quite good... quite a few American movie fans have posted good reviews of this movie.

The concept of 8.2 points is quite scary. After all, there are quite a few movies that have entered IMDB's TOP250, but the real score is only 8.1 points.

"Film full of violence but people can't stop watching it! I think this is another breakthrough of Chinese kung fu movies and action movies! I even think that in the future, Chinese kung fu movies will gradually decline after the ancient costumes gradually begin to decline. , and explore in this direction again!"

"A violent and charming movie! "The Raid" makes people have to admire the unique talent of the Chinese in action design. This movie is quite good!"

...Similar film reviews keep appearing, pushing the word-of-mouth and spreading power of "Raid" forward.

Amidst everyone's various promotions, the theaters of "Raid" have also received quite good responses.

In a business-oriented society like the United States, theaters are like that too... "Raid" was not very popular last week, so Chen Xi's target of 13 or so movie theaters did not achieve the goal of screening in advance, but now The effect of "Raid" is quite good, and many theaters are willing to release "Raid", and they say that they will give a good amount of films...

For this point, Chen Xi and the others can't do it... because "Raid" is only shown on a limited basis now, not on a large scale. If it is released in too many theaters now, it will be different from the original intention before, but if it is released earlier , has a huge impact on the arrangements for releases and the like.

So after negotiations and negotiations, starting from the second week, "The Raid" will be screened in advance in 16 cinemas, and this number will be maintained until the end of this month.

Some theaters in the middle will have a rotating screening... Such an agreement is also good for Chen Xi and the others. The whole process finally came to an end in the negotiation between Xiguang and the major theaters.

Next, "Raid" will also face a new round of challenges!

"It really is Chen Xi! That's awesome!"

The news that "Raid" was screened in North America in the first week was quickly spread back to China. In fact, before "Raid" officially began to accept the market test, even Chen Xi's die-hard fans had a deep love for this movie in their hearts. I don't have complete confidence. I feel that although this movie won an award, but a director like Chen Xi who didn't have any popularity foundation in North America before, plus some actors who didn't have any popularity foundation, even if it's on the North American side, it's nothing. Yes, the North American box office of "Raid" is very likely to be hindered by Chen Xi's overseas offensive. At that time, many things of Chen Xi will be severely damaged, and Chen Xi's efforts to open up overseas markets will also change after such obstacles. It's getting harder and harder.

More movie fans who don't like Chen Xi, as long as they pay attention to this news, most of them have a similar mentality... I feel that now Chen Xi wants to rise up in the North American market, especially want to copy it in the North American market His achievements in the Chinese market, that's basically just a fantasy.

Who knew... the reality made them understand Chen Xi's true strength!

It also let them know that Chen Xi is always creating miracles, no matter in China or in the United States.

The domestic media are now also starting to report the news of "Raid"... In fact, the domestic media is often like this, and they are very willing to make a big deal out of a molehill, especially some of the performances of the Chinese overseas, they are desperately trying to amplify...

It's like when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, they did this and recruited countless black people for Yao Ming, and then Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, and even Sun Yue entered the NBA...

Therefore, Yao Ming has indeed proved himself, but Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue can be said to have suffered an unreasonable disaster. Originally, their abilities and some things were there, and they could not grow up like Yao Ming, but because of the strong exaggeration of the domestic media, It also caused many people to have a psychological gap with these two people in their hearts. Therefore, these two people are also tragic among domestic fans...There are countless sunspots.

They also have a similar approach for "Raid" now. After the screening results of "Raid", reports and analyzes from all sides are everywhere... Now almost everyone is watching "Raid" and Chen Xi. this person.

"The box office of the North American premiere of "The Raid" is astonishing, and it is the best performing Chinese film!"

"The North American premiere of "The Raid" was a smash hit at the box office and received great praise."

"The power of Chinese-language movies is rising! Chen Xi's "Raid" exploded at the North American box office!"

...Similar titles have appeared on many Chinese websites. Many people are now advocating for the North American box office of this movie. Of course, this is mainly in China. If it is other places, they may pay attention to "The Raid", but not As for paying attention to the box office of such screenings.

However, the box office of "The Raid" in the first week is indeed quite good...

However, not all Chinese people are extremely surprised because of the box office of "Raid", in fact, there are quite a few people who feel uncomfortable or even confused because of the box office of "Raid"!This is a group of people like Zhuang Guofei and Lu Qian...

The enmity between these two people, especially Zhuang Guofei and Chen Xi, is now basically known to most ordinary movie fans, especially because Zhuang Guofei and Chen Xi had fought each other face to face, and many people now even It's because of the huge hostility towards Chen Xi, and the people on Zhuang Guofei's side are almost at odds with Chen Xi... As for Lu Bao, the enmity between the two at the annual meeting is not insignificant. It is more than enough to reach the point of breaking up and hoping that the other party will not live well.

What Zhuang Guofei and Lu Qian were most looking forward to and hoping to happen was that although Chen Xi's "Raid" won an award in Toronto, when it really came to the film market test, it was full of problems. With a box office of several hundred dollars, let's see how Chen Xi and the others end up!
At that time, some people like them can also explode accusations against Chen Xi from other angles.

But no one thought that Chen Xi would be so awesome, and his "Raid" would actually get such good results in North American screenings.

Of course, Lu Qian and Zhuang Guofei knew the energy and potential contained in the box office of Chen Xi's "Raid" in North America.So now they are even more worried about this movie. After all, as long as the energy Chen Xi gets and the new news he gets are good, they will basically slap them in the face. Anyway, they feel quite ashamed and very angry. ...So now Lu Qian and Zhuang Guofei are indeed too angry.

Moreover, there are reporters who are not open-eyed and come to ask them questions and ask them how they feel about this matter. In line with the idea of ​​losing people but not losing, Zhuang Guofei said directly to the camera: "This is just a box office, it doesn't mean anything. , the days are still long!"

Such a statement made Chen Xi's fans scoff, this guy is really a rascal!

But these words didn't really have much effect.

"The Raid" continues to be screened in North America!On the basis of the first week's box office, the second week's box office has increased by a large amount!This week, 16 North American movie theaters participated in the screening of "The Raid". This week, each theater received an average box office of 15741 US dollars. This week, the total box office of "The Raid" was screened. It is 251856 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 320556 million US dollars!This has properly become the North American box office champion of this year's Chinese film!
