Chapter 431: $80 million for 3 days
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
At noon, it should have been a time for many people to eat and rest.
Well, the employees of Hollywood studios are no exception. However, the "Daily Entertainment" news program broadcasted at noon on the WB television network under the Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group reported the box office revenue situation on December 15th.
$8.24 million!
That's right, in just one morning, the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" earned more than $8 million in box office results from more than 2,700 movie theaters.
Well-deserved number 1!
Do you watch other movies?
As of noon, the film that temporarily ranked No. 2 at the box office that day was Paramount Pictures’ "Men 100%" with a box office of 3.27 million U.S. dollars;
No. 3, Disney’s "Transformation of a King", currently earning $1.79 million at the box office;
No. 4, "The Man at Home" by Universal Pictures, the protagonist of this film is the current popular star Nicholas Cage, who earned $1.58 million at the box office that day;
The fifth place is "Chocolate" by Miramax Films.
The film has just been released today, but compared to the "Harry Potter", "Man Hundred Percent", and "Transformed King" released in the same period, it is much weaker. Well, it is not just a contest between the movie itself, but also a game between the distribution company and the theater.
The result is obvious...
The 2nd to 5th place, the box office that day's harvest adds up, is completely inferior to the strong performance of "Harry Potter".
It's blown out!
Hollywood film companies, where do they care about whether it’s lunch and break time? One of them counted as one, and they were bombed out one after another.
"It's incredible!"
Warner’s Barry Meyer: “Through the popular performance of the British film market before, I knew that it would achieve a pretty good result in the local box office market in the United States, but at the moment when the results were really announced, I still felt full of shock. "
.......
"I can only use words such as shock, shock, surprise, etc., to express my mood at the moment!"
Rupert Murdoch, the owner of 20th Century Fox Pictures and News Corporation, said in surprise: "Although its lead at the moment only represents the lead as of noon, I dare to say that even in the golden age of watching movies at night, The performance of "Harry Potter" will definitely far exceed any film released in the same period."
In Murdoch's words, he praised the "Harry Potter" movie slowly.
but!
He still felt sour in his heart.
Nima is too abnormal!
He had speculated earlier that "Harry Potter" could be a big hit in North America, but he never expected it to be so big.
"Man Hundred Percent", 3300 theaters opened;
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has only 2,700 theaters;
The former has more than 400 theaters showing more than the latter, but the box office between the two has turned around, and the difference is not small.
"It's amazing!"
Murdoch sighed: "This year's North American box office leaderboard is Wald Pictures. First, "Spider-Man" hit the global box office of more than 800 million US dollars, and now "Harry Potter" rides the wind and waves. Tsk tut~ It's amazing!"
........
Paramount Pictures.
At this moment, the crew of "Men Hundred Percent", which is making a movie promotion on a TV station under Paramount Pictures, is also shocked.
From the director to the producer, from the producer to the actor, the faces are extremely ugly.
Especially Mel Gibson, the leading actor of the film, has a blushing face.
"Damn it!"
"Why does it surpass my movie?"
"The "Man Hundred Percent" I starred in, but the best-watched romantic comedy movie this year, is no better than a fantasy fairy tale starring a bunch of children!"
"Extremely hateful!"
Mel Gibson immediately yelled at him.
The entire Hollywood admits that he Mel Gibson is a very good actor, and his starring in "Deadly Weapon", "Brave Heart", "Mad Max" and other movies, all of them have burst in word of mouth and box office. Movie, but his hot stinky temper is well known.
Mood!
This is also a label given to him by the outside world.
However, before 2004, before he frantically complained about the Jews after drinking, these shortcomings were all covered by his high popularity.
At this moment, his furious performance made many people unhappy at the scene, but no one would offend him.
"The "Harry Potter" movie, a movie made by a bunch of kids, can get such a high box office. It's a joke!"
"Are movie audiences nowadays so poor in aesthetics?"
Mel Gibson scolded the audience again.
Hearing this, the director of the show immediately changed his face and said solemnly: "Mel, pay attention to your words. And everyone, I don't want what you hear and see here today to appear in front of the world. "
Everyone was stunned, but nodded.
Mel Gibson's expression also changed, but he remained stubborn.
Insult the audience?
Haha, as long as things are exposed, let alone a Hollywood actor, even those well-known directors can't hold it. Even the boss of a film company, absolutely no one dares to curse the audience in public.
.......
Touchstone Pictures, Emperor Gate Entertainment, Artisan Entertainment, New Line Pictures...
The bosses of these film companies were also bombed out.
Lionsgate’s owner Gusta sighed: “We all guessed wrong. This year’s Christmas schedule does not belong to the Big Six in Hollywood, but belongs to Wald Pictures!”
Xie Yi, the owner of New Line Pictures, said sourly: "This year it is Zhuke that guy has good luck. Look at next year and wait until my "Lord of the Rings" is released~"
Patrick, one of the top three entertainment giants, said in horror: "No matter what the outcome, the Christmas schedule controlled by the six major Hollywood companies, this kind of scene almost monopolized by big companies, was opened by Wald Pictures. This is definitely good news for us small and medium film companies."
Compared with the reaction of the film festival counterparts, the film audiences in the United States are more pure.
"A good movie gets a high box office, isn't it right?"
A teenager of about 20 years old said in an interview with reporters at the entrance of the movie theater: "Since 1999, I read "Harry Potter" books. I have been a fan of Harry Potter. Now that the movie is released, I naturally I will buy a ticket to enter the venue. I have to say that the movie is more exciting. When I see the scenes in the books restored to the big screen, my heart is surging."
There are more movie viewers who are unwilling to be lonely, and after watching the movie, they leave messages on the Internet.
Little Hairy Boy: "Good movie, no explanation!"
Mengqi's family: "The little wizard is awesome!"
Long live Lewis: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" movie~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can watch it three times! No! Ten times!"
........
Many movie audiences' discussions and messages in major forums attracted a large number of audiences who originally wanted to buy tickets in a short period of time.
All of a sudden, the box office of "Harry Potter" is **** more and more.
As time goes by, time comes to the evening, as the golden moment of watching movies, the box office of "Harry Potter" has grown in magnitude, to further throw away all the movies released in the same period.
Yiqi Juechen!
Three days~
In the first three days of the weekend, the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" movie was seen in more than 2,700 movie theaters in North America, with a box office record of more than 80 million U.S. dollars.
The United States is a sensation again!
