198: North American Box Office Champion

Friends who like this book, I love. I join the group 176044741...

———

Compared to Los Angeles' rigorous description, New Yorkers are much more casual. The New York Times' attitude also changed a lot, changing the previous sarcasm and commented: "This movie is not as bad as you imagined before, it is not bad at all; for a 22-year-old new actor, screenwriter, and director, this is a very excellent movie..."

After a long time of thought, the subtext is undoubtedly to tell readers that "Source Code" is not a bad movie, it is worth watching, and the results may make everyone look at it.

The column media of Salt Lake City St. Denis Film Festival praised it: "Yesterday was the first day of the opening of the film festival. Among the dozens of movies screened in total, "Source Code" is undoubtedly the best among them. This movie was unexpected. Before watching the movie, many people would not have thought that it was so excellent! So much so that most of the entertainment media reports are full of distrust and a lot of belittlement. But our little werewolf proves itself. The movie has a unique concept that makes people fall into it unconsciously."

"This young man with dreams knows very well how to shoot a low-cost science fiction film to be good. Action scenes, beauty, art, exploration of human nature, as well as explosion and science fiction components... undoubtedly, he did it all and did it very well."

"In this movie, Li Donglai proved to us his screenwriter skills, directing skills, acting skills, and production skills. It is already a little pale to describe him as a promising future. Maybe we can expect more and quietly see what kind of results he can achieve! Maybe it won't take long to call him, and we can no longer use the word "little werewolf". In the future, it seems that there will be another director for the title after his surname."

The New Yorker made a brief report: "Source Code tells the story of a dead man trying to save Chicago from a nuclear disaster, full of suspense, beautifully made, a classic horror work. "The Washington Post reported: "Source Code conveys the world with a sophisticated and cautious plot, not to forget the groundhog Phil effect and the belief in toasting peace."

"National Public Radio" (npr) also said: "Li Donglai's gorgeous turn, the whole movie is touching, and there will be more opportunities for him to show his strength in the future." The San Francisco Chronicle is not stingy with its love: "This thriller set in science fiction was not particularly noticeable at first, but he is indeed too excellent and enlightening..."

Among the praises and praises of the blockbuster, the Phantom Film Company won the box office results on the first day of "Source Code" in the afternoon.

Because it is a low-cost movie, the publicity cannot be very strong. Dingdian cannot do such a loss-making business. Therefore, there are only 800 theaters screened in the first week, and on average, there are about 300 seats in each theater, with a high attendance rate of 65%.

The price of movie tickets in the United States is generally between 6 and 9 US dollars. More expensive cinemas will offer tickets between 10 and 12 US dollars at night. Conservatively, the box office for the premiere yesterday was 2.95 million!

In addition to the investment of the theater chain and the issuer, the source code is 3 million US dollars, plus the promotional expenses. This number is destined to make money!

After the news spread, the whole company cheered.

Li Donglai and Sean celebrated with high fives, and the crew members cheered. Fatty Luo actually hugged Quan Xiaoyao excitedly. This fat man didn't dare to take action before, but he only dared to make a hug while everyone was happy and despise him.

When Li Donglai stared at the smirking eyes of the two, Quan Xiaoyao blushed and hid away, while Fatty Luo licked his face and smirked.

The box office results of the movie on the second day further confirmed its potential. The attendance rate of the screenings on the second day reached 80%; some cinemas even reached 100%. Although the four films cannot be scheduled for four consecutive games, there will always be new movies released to squeeze out theaters, but they will continue to receive more than 4.3 million box offices.

The movie fans who have watched the movie will praise it, which will create a domino effect, which will lead friends around you to think that the movie is good, and then have the idea of ​​going to watch the movie.

With such excellent attendance, the theater owners are willing to broadcast movies. The media are also willing to find materials to report on it. The progress and gains in the positive direction continue to increase, and the positive direction of the cycle will naturally lead the movie to take advantage of the opportunity.

The next day, many theater companies began to contact Phantom Film Company. Dingdian Entertainment was not idle, and expanded its release scope. The releases of developed cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, etc. were put on the agenda. On the third day, the attendance rate dropped a lot, and the peak period of weekend movie viewing was over. However, even so, the box office results were still firmly reached 10.8 million. It moved forward vigorously towards 20 million, and compared with the same period, the results remained high.

The movies that are still being released this week have no blockbuster impact, so it is a foregone conclusion that "Source Code" won the North American box office championship this week.

In fact, it is just a cost of three million US dollars. The picture of "Source Code" cannot be said to be shocking, but it is very bright and smooth. The plot is not thrilling, but it is full of ups and downs.

If you don't look at it, you can think of it as a standard commercial film suitable for meeting three or five friends in the cinema and watching while chewing popcorn. What is really worth discussing is the concept of the director building his story structure. If you go deep into it, there will be another world. The most classic line and the last line in it is: "everythingisgonnabeok."

It is beyond the expectations of most Hollywood people. Except for the movies released at the same time that have no blockbusters, and the movies with a few bad tones are almost full of rotten tomatoes, "Source Code" has become one of the only movies to watch.

The box office continued for a few days after that, without much fluctuation.

"Source Code" was released in the first week, with a box office of 22.5 million, and it won the North American box office championship. Although the 20 million champion is a bit shabby, it is not bad to be able to achieve this level in the off-season of the movie.

It won a championship of 20 million in the United States, although it was a bit miserable. But in Asia, it was undoubtedly a big miracle.

A low-cost science fiction film of three million yuan has been a week in which it won the North American box office championship, which shocked everyone. Asia is even more crazy. There is no doubt that another international director appeared in China. And unlike other directors who are secluded behind the scenes, this young director is so dazzling.

It is always the most convincing thing to say when it comes to the results. No matter how many domestic film critics in China are optimistic about the movies before, it is better to win the North American box office championship in one week.

The vast majority of Chinese media have also begun to report. It is rare for Chinese-directed movies to be able to travel in the United States. Including Lao Touzi's blockbuster "Hero", Ang Lee's "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", and John Woo in "Changing Face"... After counting, it's only a few, and now there is another one.

But this praise is a bit too high. Compared with real big-name directors like Ang Lee and John Woo, there are still uncertainties in Li Donglai wanting to be able to make a living like them. That is, will Li Donglai have a second good movie?!
