Chapter 337 Zhou Champion

Cinemasore was founded in 1978 and has been around for more than 30 years. Among them, there are only more than 40 movies that have received A+ scores. These more than 40 movies undoubtedly show good momentum. Except for the fan-oriented "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret", the final box office was 2.3 times that of the first week, the other movies have all had more than 3 times the momentum.

In other words, as long as "Time Warrior" can win a box office of 35 million in the first week, there will be no big suspense in the final box office of over 100 million.

Just that night, there were many fans leaving messages on the official website of "Time and Space Warrior", and many people leaving messages on other movie forums. The comments were basically praised, and movies, actors, directors, etc. became the objects of praise.

Ryan excitedly shared the movie viewing experience on his blog: ""Time Warrior" is undoubtedly the best science fiction action movie I have ever seen. The last thirty minutes of the film's fighting scenes are simply indescribable. It's so shocking. My heart is really about to pop out!"

Sally, a female movie fan from New York, recommended "Time Warrior" to her friends on the forum: "I highly recommend this movie. This is a classic science fiction action movie that you must not miss. It is full of imagination. Not only male audiences, but also female audiences will also like this movie. The girl named Zhang in it is so cool. I think she is even cooler than Reeves!"

In UCLa's forum, UCLa students who watched the premiere were singing praises for their heroes: "I was shocked and stupid, and I don't know how to describe it! After watching this movie, I was thinking about a question, how did he shoot it? It's worthy of being Robin, only he can make such a crazy movie!"

Unlike the one-sided praise of "Space-Time Warrior", the evaluations obtained by "Star Legend" are "boring" and "no highlights"; while "Traveling around the Earth for Eighty Days" are full of bad reviews, "simply a disaster", "extremely stupid", and "shouldn't have been filmed at all". Everyone cannot accept the director's change of Verne's classic science fiction to what he is now.

The next morning, on the well-known movie data website IDB, fans scored a high score of 8.9 for "Space-Time Warriors", "Star Legend 2" received a 7.2 rating, while "Eighty Days Traveling around the Earth" was only a pitiful 6.1. The audience reputation of the three movies is not at the same level at all.

Zhang Ran and the crew members had just accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times when the phone rang suddenly. He picked up and saw that it was Gusta’s phone and immediately answered: “Mr. Gusta, has the box office of the midnight show come out?”

Gusta’s laughter can be heard through the phone: “Yes, the midnight data has come out, the box office of "Space-Time Warrior" is 4.3 million, and the box office of "Star Legend" is 2.6 million, the Garfield" is 2.2 million, and the Eighty Days Traveling the Earth is only 1.8 million!"

"Space-Time Warrior" is not a fan movie. The box office in the midnight show cannot be as straight as "Harry Potter". This result is pretty good. Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that 40 million in the first week is expected to be, and the final box office will reach 120 million!"

Gusta smiled and said, "You are too conservative. I think the final box office is likely to reach 150 million in the first week!"

The next morning, Zhang Ran just answered Gusta's phone call, and there was an excited laughter from the other end. Zhang Ran knew that the box office must be good, otherwise he would not have laughed like this: "How much does the box office work?"

Gusta took a breath: "Plus the box office of the midnight show, the first day's box office was 21.8 million!"

Zhang Ran laughed when he heard this result: "According to this trend, the box office in the first week should be more than 45 million!"

Gustador: "It may be close to 50 million. If we can get this result, we may beat Harry Potter and become the weekly box office champion. That will be our Lions Gate's first weekly box office champion!"

Zhang Ran was shocked: "It is also my first weekly champion. I hope we have good luck!"

"Space-Time Warrior" won a box office of 21.8 million on the first day of its release in North America. This box office number caused a stir in the entire film industry. Everyone believes that "Space-Time Warrior" should have a good box office, but this performance is a little too eye-catching!

Unlike the amazing performance of "Space-Time Warrior", the performance of the other three new films is a bit unsatisfactory. "Garfield" achieved a box office of 12.5 million, which is quite good; "Star Legend" only achieved a box office of 10.71 million, which undoubtedly made a disappointing result, while "Traveling around the Earth for Eighty Days" had a box office of only 5.5 million, which was simply shocking.

"Space and Space Warrior" achieved 21.8 million on the first day. According to normal trend, the box office in the first week should be around 45 million, and there is almost no suspense when the box office exceeds 100 million!

After a while, Luc Besson called, and this result made him overjoyed. It was not so easy to achieve a high box office in North America. His "Fifth Element" also invested 90 million yuan, and was also a Hollywood superstar, but the final box office was only 63 million yuan. Now it seems that "Time and Space Warrior" should be twice the box office of "Fifth Element".

"Space-Time Warriors" made a good start in the box office, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Zhang Ran and the main creators of the crew also worked harder to promote it. In the morning, he accepted an exclusive interview with the Chicago Sun, and in the afternoon he had to go to Philadelphia for radio stations, and in the evening he had to go to MTV station interviews.

At the interview site of mtv TV, host jc-Chassi first asked the three actors: "There are many action scenes in this movie. Are you three of you personally completing the stunt action?"

Reeves immediately said, "Yes, we all go on the battle myself."

"We personally completed all the thrilling parts of the film," Adrian Blaudi added. "In one scene, Keanu climbed onto a roughly speed vehicle. A little accident occurred during the shooting. Keanu's safety rope was loosened at the time and he was still tightly hung on the car. However, Keanu climbed onto the hood with only one hand in her hand to complete the entire shooting."

jc-Chasi asked excitedly: "Kinu, why don't you shout to stop if you are so dangerous?"

Reeves explained: "Because I had completely entered the role at that time, when you really entered the role, you would want to become stronger, and my character was trying to stop the bad guys at that time. I didn't feel the danger at that time. When this shot was finished, Ziyi and the others told me how dangerous it was just now, and I realized what was going on."

jc-Chasi was moved: "Keanu, everyone said you completed your best performance since film in this movie, now I know why!"

Zhang Ran was a little surprised to laugh when he saw the host and the three actors acting. Is this true? Of course it is fake.

During the promotional period of Hollywood movies, celebrities will lie like this. Romance movies need to create scandals. If it is an action movie, the stars will generally be asked to tell interesting things during filming, such as heroic deeds on the screen, thrilling during filming, such as clutching the hood on the speed car, etc.

But in fact, this kind of thing is impossible. During the filming of Hollywood movies, insurance companies will dispatch special supervision at the shooting site to ensure that celebrities are not in danger. Even if the director wants celebrities to try dangerous shots, the insurance company industry will never allow it.

Because he saw the hope of Zhou’s champion, the stingy Lions Gate resolutely spent 5 million to promote it. TV stations, print media, gossip magazines, and news and reports related to "Time and Space Warriors" can be seen everywhere. If the Lions Gate hopes to make a difference in distribution, it must prove itself. If its ability is to win the weekly box office championship next time, it will be more confident when negotiating with theaters in the future.

These work is naturally not useless. The various news released by the media attracted the attention of the public and movie fans, prompting those who have watched the video to buy tickets again, and those who have not watched the video to enter the theater. "Space-Time Warrior" is becoming more and more popular.

Two days later, Zhang Ran received a call from Gusta. As soon as he answered, Gusta's excited voice came over: "Zhang, we are the champions, we will win the weekly championship!"

Thanks to its current high reputation and super high ratings, "Space and Space Warrior" unexpectedly won the weekly championship with a weekly box office of 48.46 million!

The second place is "Harry Potter" which was released for two weeks, with a weekly box office of 46.7 million and a total box office of 169 million; the third place is "Monster Shrek 2" which was released for three weeks, with a weekly box office of 34.66 million and a total box office of 364 million. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the champion of North America and global box office this year.

The fourth place is "Garfield", which has a box office of 31 million yuan per week. The cost of this movie is only 40 million yuan, and it is approaching the cost line in one week of release, so it is certain to make money.

Ranked fifth is "Star Legend 2", with a weekly box office of 25.65 million. Now the imdb audience rating of "Star Legend 2" has dropped to 6.9, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 43, and the mtc score is only a pitiful 38 points. This dismal reputation cannot have any potential, and the final box office is probably only about 40 million. For a large production costing $100 million, it can be said that it is a waste of money.

In the last life, "Star Legend 2" was very miserable, but in this life, he bumped into "Space-Time Warrior", which is also a science fiction action movie. The gap between the two is very big, which is simply the difference between "The Queen of Prada" and "Tiny Times". Without comparison, there is no harm, so "Star Legend 2" is even more tragic.

What's worse than "Star Legend 2" is that Jackie Chan's "Traveling the Earth for Eighty Days" starring Jackie Chan, which had a box office of only a pitiful 12 million in the first week, and its reputation is even worse than "Star Legend 2". It would be nice to have a box office of 20 million in the end. For a big-produced film costing $110 million, it really hit my grandma's house.

Jackie Chan received a 20 million yuan salary in "Eighty Days Traveling around the Earth" and successfully scored a 20 million club. It is definitely a miracle that he can do this as a Chinese actor. But now that the movie is so successful, his Hollywood journey has come to an end!

In Bowei's office, the assistant placed the latest box office statistics table on Jacobson's desk. Jacobson glanced at the statistics table, his eyes suddenly opened wide, his hands suddenly shook, and the coffee splashed out.

"It actually surpassed Harry Potter 3!" Jacobson's tone was incredible, "The Time Warrior actually surpassed Harry Potter 3 and won the weekly box office championship!"

After a long time, Jacobson sighed. She knew that her life in Bowei was over. She missed a big project with a box office of over 100 million yuan and threw 10 million yuan in vain. The board of directors would not let her go.

Although this was not Jacobson's idea, she could only take the blame! (~^~)
