Chapter 128 The first week
In fact, many people have expectations for Chen Lin's "The Prince of the Gold" film.
Chen Lin’s previous commercial work was "Operation Mekong". Although his reputation is good and ignited the box office market, it is a work with the main theme after all, and I always feel that something is missing.
Although "Carol" won numerous awards and his box office performance was not too bad, it was a pure drama and had no comparison.
In other words, since "The Body", Chen Lin has not released a pure commercial film for two years.
"The Golden Captain" itself is adapted from his famous work "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles". It has many fans of the original work, and with a series of publicity, the actors are also very suitable. Whether it is the three brothers in "The Pretender" or Peng Yuyan, including Dilraba, there are many fans who support it in various ways.
What about "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"?
Fan Bingbing!
This name alone gives people a sense of being a bad movie!
There is no comparison at all!
Although the latter director is Feng Xiaogang, "Pan Jinlian" did not win the Palme d'Or, nor was it shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival. From this perspective, foreigners are not optimistic about the quality of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian".
Although Fan Bingbing won the Best Actress Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival with this movie, the San Sebastian International Film Festival is not part of the three major European film festivals, just like Feng Xiaogang won the Pyramid Award at the Cairo International Film Festival for "A Sigh". Although it is not a pheasant award, it is still a bit worse than Cannes, Venice and Berlin.
To put it bluntly, Feng Xiaogang cannot capture Chen Lin in the most common certification in China!
Not to mention box office appeal.
Chen Lin is recognized as the most box office appealing director. From his debut to now, his cumulative global box office has long exceeded 20 billion yuan!
There are not many people in China who can compare with him. Obviously, Feng Xiaogang is not among these people!
Even so, the theaters have double insurance. Except for Wanda who gave nearly 50% of the screening volume as soon as it started, the other theaters have about 30%. The overall screening volume is basically the same as that of "Pan Jinlian".
After all, the topic of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" is now high.
It was surprising to take it.
"The Golden Captain" daily box office reached 260 million, setting a daily box office record for domestic movies. "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was squeezed and showed a cliff-like decline. The box office on Sunday actually fell by 60% compared to Saturday's box office!
What is even more amazing is that the Japanese box office of "The Golden Captain" in North America also reached 33 million US dollars!
In addition to the accumulation of South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and some parts of Europe, the global box office of "The Golden Captain" exceeded 100 million US dollars on the day!
Next is a series of box office record journeys.
On November 21, 22, 23 and 24, four days, working days, "The Prince of the Gold" still maintains the ability to attract money with a box office of over 200 million in a single day.
On November 25, "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts" was screened in mainland China. It snatched 130 million yuan in box office with 28% of the screening volume that day, which also made the box office of "The Golden-Touching Captain" fall below 200 million, and the day's closing was only 170 million.
However, in the next two days of the weekend, the box office of "The Golden Captain" increased instead of decreasing. On Saturday, November 26, it even won 340 million yuan, almost breaking the single-day box office record set by "The Mermaid".
On November 27, "The Prince of the Golden Touch" was released for one week, with a single-day box office of 240 million yuan, with a cumulative box office of 1.94 billion yuan!
In North America, during the release week, the cumulative box office of "The Golden Captain" reached US$160 million;
In other regions, the cumulative box office reached about 60 million US dollars, of which Europe contributed 20 million US dollars, and South Korea and Japan contributed 30 million US dollars;
The global box office was released on weekly, with $500 million!
The key is that the movie itself has a very good reputation, with an ImdB score of 88 points, and a rotten tomatoes that are as fresh as 99%.
The domestic professional film websites have also received a bad review of "The Golden Captain" as well. Douban gave 8.2 points, Time Network also gave 8.8 points, and Maoyan Movie gave an astonishing score of 9.9 points!
It is optimistic that the global box office of "The Touching Captain" is likely to reach more than 1.5 billion US dollars. No matter how pessimistic it is, the global box office of "The Touching Captain" will definitely exceed 1 billion in one month after it is released!
There is no doubt that "The Golden Captain" has been successful, and the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series has officially been launched!
Compared with the best in "The Golden Captain", "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" is not only incomparable in the box office, but it is not even a fraction of the box office, and the screening volume has been cut to only about 10%.
To be honest, if it weren't for the director of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" that was Feng Xiaogang, I guess the movie would have been under the mark!
Especially after "Where Are Fantastic Beasts" was released on November 25.
The two movies account for more than 90% of the market.
Since the release of "The Golden Captain" has seen a sharp decline in the box office of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian".
On November 2o, on the day of "The Golden Captain" was released, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" at least won a box office of more than 30 million. In the next five working days, the box office of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was less than 10 million. The worst was on November 25, on the day of "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts" was released, the market reached 360 million, but "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" only had a box office of 30,000 yuan on the same day!
The crushing box office ratio is desperate!
The king of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is no longer there, and Feng Xiaogang can't count on it either. Then we can only count on the Hollywood blockbuster "Fantasy Beasts" to win back. Unfortunately, the performance of the film in the North American market or overseas market has never been awesome since then, except for its good performance on the day of its release. Although "Fantasy Beasts" is a spin-off series of "Harry Potter", it is not "Harry Potter" after all!
"Where Are Fantastic Beasts" has not even surpassed "The Golden Captain" in North America!
Although the former is released two days ago than the latter, it is useless.
The mature movie viewing market in North America determines that popcorn movies with high reputation will have more market expression than movies that are not popular among the public.
As of November 27, the cumulative box office of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" has barely exceeded 240 million, which is far from the guaranteed amount of 500 million. According to the current box office performance, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" can only have a maximum box office of 280 million, and Yaolai lost a lot this time!
As for the box office predictions of "The Golden Captain", many bold people have already given expectations of 5 billion box office.
Even the most conservative estimate is more than 3.5 billion.
The week is close to 2 billion. As long as nothing goes wrong, the total box office exceeds 3.5 billion will be absolutely true!
At the beginning, the mermaid was not so arrogant.
Chen Lin knew very well that the box office of "The Golden Captain" could not exceed 5 billion. According to his estimate, it could be up to 4 billion yuan, and it is certain that it would pass "The Mermaid".
After all, "The Great Wall", which has invested over one billion yuan, is waiting for release. No matter what the movie is like, a large number of celebrities will always divide the majority of the screening volume.
Compared with previous movies, Chen Lin deliberately used Imx to shoot this time. He originally wanted to switch to 3d mode, but once it was converted to 3d, the picture became a little blurry. In order for the movie to present a better effect, Chen Lin still did not switch to 3d.
However, he had made up his mind that the next eight parts must be in 3D mode.
After all, 3d is the king now, and it can make money more!
Chapter completed!
