Noon is supposed to be a time for many people to eat and rest.
Well, the employees of Hollywood studios are no exception. However, when Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group's WB television network broadcast the news program "daily entertainment" at noon, it reported the box office revenue on December 15.
8.24 million dollars!
Yes, in just one morning, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" made more than $8 million at the box office from more than 2700 cinemas.
Worthy of the first!
Do you want to see another movie?
By noon, Paramount Pictures' man 100% had won $3.27 million at the box office;
Third, Disney's "the king of change" has won US $1.79 million at the box office;
Fourth, Universal Pictures' home man, whose protagonist is the current popular star Nicholas Cage, received $1.58 million at the box office on that day;
No. 5 was Miramax's chocolate.
The film has just been released today, but it is much weaker than Harry Potter, man 100% and King changing. Well, it's not just about the film itself, it's more about the game between the distribution company and the cinema.
It turns out that
No. 2 ~ No. 5, their box office gains on that day add up, and they are not as strong as Harry Potter.
It blew up!
Hollywood film companies, now where will care whether it is lunch and rest time? One was counted as one and was blown up one after another.
"It's unbelievable!"
Warner's Barry Meyer: "I know it will achieve a good result in the American box office market through the hot performance of the British film market, but I still feel shocked when the result is really revealed."
.......
"Shock, shock, surprise and other words can only be used to express my mood at the moment!"
Rupert Murdoch, the boss of 20th Century Fox pictures and News Corporation, said in surprise: "although its lead at the moment only represents the lead by noon, I dare say that even in the golden age of watching movies at night, the performance of Harry Potter will definitely surpass that of any film released at the same time."
Murdoch's words, the "Harry Potter" film from the slow praise.
But!
His heart was still full of bitterness.
Tenima's sick!
He had guessed earlier that Harry Potter would be a big hit in North America, but he never thought it would be so big.
"100% men" has 3300 cinemas;
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone has only 2700 theaters;
The number of theaters in the former is higher than that in the latter, which is more than 400, but the box office between the two has turned over, and the difference is not small.
"It's amazing
Murdoch sighed: "the winner of this year's North American box office is Wald pictures again. First, Spiderman hit the box office of more than 800 million US dollars worldwide. Now, Harry Potter is riding the wind and waves. Tut Tut, tut tut
........
Paramount Pictures.
At the moment, the crew of "men are 100 percent", which is promoting the film on Paramount Pictures' TV station, is also shocked.
From the director to the producer, from the producer to the actor, all the faces are very ugly.
In particular, Mel Gibson, the leading actor of the film, has a red face.
"Damn it
"Why does it surpass my movies?"
"I starred in" man 100% ", but this year's best romantic comedy movie, even less than the fantasy fairy tale starred by a group of children!"
"Damn it
Mel Gibson immediately made a good rant.
The whole Hollywood admits that Mel Gibson is a very excellent actor. His movies such as "lethal weapon", "brave heart" and "crazy Max" are all movies with both public praise and box office. However, his hot temper is also well known.
be subject to changing moods!
This is also a label given to him by the outside world.
However, before 2004, before he drunk and make complaints about the Jews, these shortcomings were concealed by his high popularity.
At the moment, his furious performance, even if a lot of people at the scene are upset, but no one will offend him.
"It's a joke that Harry Potter movies, a bunch of children's nonsense movies, can even get such a high box office
"Are the movie audiences so poor in aesthetics?"
Mel Gibson scolded the audience again.
Hearing the speech, the director of the program immediately changed his face and said in a deep voice, "Mel, pay attention to your words. And you guys, I don't want what you hear or see here today to appear in front of the world. "
Everyone was stunned, but they nodded.
Mel Gibson's face also changed, but he didn't change.
Abusing the audience?
Hehe, as long as the matter is exposed, let alone a Hollywood actor, even those well-known directors can't bear it. Even the boss of a film company, no one dares to scold the audience in public.
.......
Touchstone, Timon entertainment, artisan entertainment, new line
The bosses of these film companies have also been blown up.
Gusta, the boss of Lion Gate, sighed: "we've all guessed wrong. This year's Christmas schedule doesn't belong to the top six in Hollywood, but belongs to Wald pictures!"
Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Cinema, said sourly: "this year is Junker. That guy is lucky. Look next year, when my Lord of the rings is released ~"
Patrick, one of the three giants of pinnacle entertainment, said in horror: "no matter what the result is, the Christmas schedule controlled by the six major Hollywood companies, which is almost monopolized by big companies, has been pried open by Wald film. This is absolutely good news for us small and medium-sized film companies."
Compared with the reaction of the film festival peers, the American film audience is more pure.
"Isn't it right for good movies to get high box office?"
A 20-year-old teenager, when interviewed by reporters at the gate of the cinema, said: "I've been a Harry Potter fan since I read Harry Potter books in 1999. Now that the film is on, I will naturally buy tickets to enter. I have to say that movies are better than novels. When I see scenes in books restored to big screens, my heart is surging. "
There are also more movie viewers, unwilling to be lonely, leaving messages on the Internet after watching the movie.
Little boy: "good movie, no explanation!"
Mengqi family: "the little wizard is wonderful!"
Long live Lewis: "I can watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone three times! no Ten times
........
In a short period of time, many movie audiences have attracted a large number of audiences who originally have the desire to buy tickets.
For a time, "Harry Potter" box office, like a snowball general more and more.
With the passage of time, time comes to the evening, as the golden time to watch the film, "Harry Potter" box office growth, in order to further shake off all the films released in the same period.
It's the best way to ride!
