8.49 million!

Yes, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" film, in 620 British cinemas, made 8.49 million pounds box office on the opening day, equivalent to 12 million dollars.

It doesn't look high~

"Spider Man" movie premiered in the United States, the box office achieved more than 40 million dollars.

But!

You know, these are the three small British Islands!

The box office on the premiere day of 8.49 million pounds is already the number one box office champion in the whole year of 2000!

Similarly, other local media colleagues in the UK are unwilling to be lonely and write articles one after another.

"Harry Potter is expected to be the UK box office champion in 2000," the mirror said in an article

"Harry Potter's box office on the first day is as high as 8.49 million pounds, and the box office on the three days of the first weekend is bound to exceed 20 million pounds. The box office results of these three days alone are enough to rank in the top five of this year's British box office charts," the sun said in an article

Top 5?

That's right!

As of December 9, the top five UK box office rankings in 2000 were as follows:

1. Toy Story 2, ￡ 44.3 million;

2. Gladiator, ￡ 31.2 million;

3. Chicken run, 29.5 million pounds;

4. American beauty, ￡ 21 million;

5. Out of my world, ￡ 18.3 million;

Watch Harry Potter again. The box office on the first day alone is as high as 8.49 million pounds. In the next two days, the box office harvest will never be low. In three days, the total box office will exceed 20 million pounds, which is absolutely easy.

In three days, it has achieved a lot of high box office which can't be achieved in half a year!

The British media are scrambling to report, the British film audience is hot, and the local film peers are losing their voice

Everything, let many people shock!

Hollywood film companies, that's even worse!

"My God, is it over or not?"

Harvey Weinstein, President of Miramax pictures, was shocked when he heard the news and said: "first spider man made more than 900 million US dollars at the global box office, and now Harry Potter is coming out? What, he's everywhere, Jack Wald? "

Shay, the boss of new line pictures, is jealous.

Patrick, one of the three giants of pinnacle entertainment, exclaimed: "fortunately, our film" the red maple family "was withdrawn from the UK in time, otherwise it would not have been crushed at all."

Warner's Barry Meyer, eyebrows a pick, exclaimed: "he dug a gold mine ah!"

My colleagues in Hollywood are shocked.

But!

More Hollywood film companies, while shocked, are smelling a great war is coming.

"Great ~"

Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate, laughs: "originally, this Christmas time, I thought it would be as boring as usual. I still watch the big six in Hollywood fighting. Ha ha, but this year's estimate is different ~"

"The premiere of Harry Potter in Britain has achieved such excellent results, so the top six guys in Hollywood are probably in a panic now!"

In fact, that's exactly what it is!

Warner Bros., for its own reasons, withdrew from the Christmas competition early and was unable to win the top spot. However, Disney, universal and other giants never give up competing for the first place.

Paramount Pictures.

"No!"

"Absolutely can't, can't let Wald film rise again..."

"If Harry Potter can be a box office blockbuster in the UK, it can also be a box office blockbuster in the US."

"We were able to suppress Wald film in the media and the cinema."

"But now?"

"It won't be long before the greedy cinemas and the media reporters who are just like the grass on the wall will turn to Wald pictures. What can we do to stop them?"

Sherry Lansing, the president, has a dignified face.

The atmosphere of the whole conference room was almost dripping.

At the same time.

Golden Dawn entertainment group.

Zhuke also got the box office data for the first time. Well, to be exact, Zhuke received the news earlier than many people.

"Well done!"

"It seems that old Bill's decision is right," Chuck laughed! It's true that there is an old man in the family. Old Bill's decades of Hollywood experience is one of the most valuable assets of our company. "

Alexander also said with a smile: "I just got the news from Mr. mcnichol that several mainstream cinemas in the UK will improve the layout of Harry Potter. It is estimated that the number of cinemas to be shown today will increase from 620 to 800."

180 more cinemas?

Don't be too little!

The number of 620 theaters on the opening day of Harry Potter has already accounted for 35% of that day in the UK. Now there are 180 more theaters, and the total film layout has risen to 47%, nearly half.

.......

A few days later.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" in the British film market, the first weekend three days, achieved $28.75 million box office results.

The box office results of these three days alone will be enough to become the fourth place in the annual box office ranking of the UK in 2000, and only a few hundred thousand pounds less than the total box office of the third place "chicken run".

Fire!

It's a complete fire!

In recent days, in Britain, if you have not seen the Harry Potter movie, you are embarrassed to say that you have been out.

At the same time, the explosion of the film also makes the "Harry Potter" series books sell again. Doll, keychain, clothing and other peripheral products are also on sale.

Of course, the most popular, or starred in the "Harry Potter" film a few small actors.

Daniel, the actor of Harry Potter;

The actor of Ron Weasley -- Rupert Grint;

Emma Watson, the actor of Hermione;

The three little actors in the Hogwarts iron triangle are originally British nationality. Now the film group and the three have become well-known local stars in the UK. Their popularity can not be compared with that of some king and queen stars at the moment.

The heat is appalling!

In recent days, in the streets of many British cities, teenagers wearing magic robes, wizard hats and magic wands can be seen everywhere, passing along the streets.

"The first watch" is presented.
