Chapter 514 Domination of the world
The emergence of "Martian Rescue" has become a fig leaf for Chinese-language films. Most of the movies with high box office these days are bad, and movies with good reputation are difficult to succeed in box office.
Haven’t you seen that among the top ten annual box office lists, there are only a few that pass the Douban movies. The summer, New Year’s Day, and Spring Festival are even worse. Critics and audiences are angry at them!
Lin Han often sees similar comments under various box office or movie reputation reports. Is it so difficult to produce a movie with both box office and reputation?
After a whole year of bombardment of bad domestic films, "Martian Rescue" has now appeared gorgeously and has become a savior. It proves to the audience that Chinese-language movies can actually make good movies!
It is said that movies are good, and they have to rely on their peers to set off. This is actually true. In fact, Lin Han and others did not expect that "Martian Rescue" would have such a powerful box office performance, and almost none of the other movies could play.
Even its overseas box office is as powerful as jaw-dropping. As a movie released globally, after the release of "Martian Rescue" in mainland China at 0:00, it will begin to be released in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other places!
North America is the world's largest box office today, and if you want to achieve good box office results, you must be inseparable from this market. As the publisher of "Martian Rescue", 20th Century Fox has also made real preparations. The super-large release is a treatment that only Hollywood blockbusters with pure bloodlines can get.
The midnight show of "Martian Rescue" which landed in more than 3,000 cinemas in North America on Friday hit a beautiful record of $2.4 million, which not only injected confidence into the publishers, but also brought enough surprises to the filmmakers!
The movie tells the story of a Chinese astronaut. She is not as familiar to North American audiences. The director is not famous in North America. Although the starring Xu Jiayan is the best actor in Cannes, she has very few fans here.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most famous one in the whole movie is definitely the name of the movie. This is the first novel by Lin Han to open the North American book market, and he has quite a few readers here!
The $2.4 million midnight show also set a new record for Chinese-language films in North America. The last large-scale release of the film can be traced back to Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and earlier "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The fast box office report of the North American midnight show has been released soon after it was released back to China, and good news has also been heard from the rest of the market. This space science fiction film has performed very well in almost all major markets!
The global explosion is not only the Chinese box office market, but the global box office list this week was directly accepted by "Martian Rescue".
In addition to midnight, it strongly saved $18 million in the North American market on Friday, a result that also surpassed another space-themed science fiction film "Space Gravity" in the same schedule last year.
Then in the two days of the weekend, the box office of "Martian Rescue" did not dive, but maintained a strong trend. It won a total of US$55 million in three days of the first weekend, successfully topped the North American weekend box office list!
This strong result also allowed "Martian Rescue" to pull the popular animated film "Elf Hotel 2" from the championship throne. After more than ten years, the Chinese-language film once again won the box office championship in North America!
The sequel of "The Legend of the Ghost" that was once popular across the United States continued to decline. In the past, this series of movies had to win the weekend box office championship as soon as they came out. However, "The Legend of the Ghost 5" only earned $12 million in 3,320 cinemas in the first weekend, ranking third.
No matter who it is, the horrific opening of "Martian Rescue" has created the highest peak in his personal career. It is the highest box office in Xu Jiayan's career, the highest in director's career, and the highest in Lin Han's novel adaptation!
"Martian Rescue" has a great result in paintings, and the audience's reputation is also excellent. In terms of the emasore scores in the American cinema, it won the only A among the new films released at the same time. It was as high as 93% in the freshness of rotten tomatoes, and the popcorn index even scored a full score. The authoritative media of meta-riti gave a high score of 81 points, and the score on imdb was as high as 8.8, squeezing into top 250!
The media, who rarely watch Chinese movies with a direct look, were all confused. They didn't look down on Chinese movies at all before, but they just regarded mainland China as the most important market for box office growth, but they didn't expect that they would counterattack.
"Martian Rescue", which won the weekend box office list with an absolute advantage, although these authoritative media in North America want to pretend to be blind, they cannot regard readers as fools. They have to bite the bullet and start reporting. At the same time, some professional film critics have written preliminary comments!
Variety show: The significance of "The Mars Rescue" is whether it makes 20th Century Fox make a fortune, it will rekindle human desire to explore space and inspire the birth of a new generation of astronauts.
Hollywood Reporter: Watching Xu's space singleton show is a pleasure. Under his interpretation, the miracle of the protagonist Mars' survival is very convincing. This will be a strong contender for the best foreign language film next year!
New York Post: This movie perfectly reproduces the content of the novel and is a movie that readers who like science fiction should not miss!
Guardian: Just when we gave up our hope, this happened, and the Chinese finally made a movie that they could watch!
Telegraph: By the standards of commercial movies, "The Mars Rescue" is a very smart big production with a dramatic ups and downs, and game audiences bring simple and pure satisfaction. It is not as ambitious as other science fiction movies. It plays a safe hand. It is a brain-based commercial blockbuster that resonates with real life even more.
Los Angeles Times: This is a movie that puts details first. Lin Han’s script has a very outstanding scientific logic. This may be the best science fiction film of the year!
Daily Entertainment: "Martian Rescue" is a rare movie that Chinese directors can bring pure enjoyment to the audience over the years. The film's control of the story rhythm is exactly the same as the starring performances, which brings great entertainment. It is a good popcorn movie!
Almost all mainstream media have given positive reviews to "Martian Rescue". Only a very small number of magazines and film critics deliberately sing the opposite tune to attract attention, and almost no one cares about the negative reviews.
The global box office continues to be popular. Mainland China is of course the largest ticket store. The opening of nearly $100 million in the first week is particularly perfect. Secondly, the North American market is more than 50 million. In addition, the first weekend box office of $7 million in France, and the UK's $12 million is also quite excellent.
In addition, the German market and Australia, Japan will also be released next week, and South Korea will have the biggest surprise!
The crew of "Martian Rescue" had never gone to South Korea to promote it, but in the first week it mobilized 3.11 million viewers to support it, with a market share of 50%.
This week, "Martian Rescue", which swept the world, won 58 championships in 72 countries and regions where it was released, and also won the global weekend box office championship!
In just one week, this science fiction film from China had a global box office of US$180 million, truly dominating the whole world!
In fact, it is not impossible for domestic movies to win the global weekly box office championship. As long as there are no super blockbusters in the same period, there will be great opportunities. For example, the prime time of the National Day and the Spring Festival are all the time when domestic movies show their power.
Looking at the booming box office, many people cursed themselves in their hearts. They wanted to see "Martian Rescue" achieve a diving decline later. Whether Chinese or foreigners, there is no shortage of such dark people.
The new week has arrived as scheduled, from weekend break to weekdays, and any movie has experienced a terrible box office decline, especially some blockbusters!
Just as everyone's anticipation, "Martian Rescue" has taken a surprising and amazing curve, with a weekday box office decline of 45%. On Monday, it stubbornly won the domestic box office of RMB 60 million and continued to win the single-day box office championship!
The popularity of "Martian Rescue" is no longer controlled. People from Chang'e Film have been extremely straightforward recently and have more confidence in speaking.
Because in the following time, "Martian Rescue" showed super resilience, becoming the number one in a single day for 18 consecutive days in mainland China, winning the box office championship for three weeks. Although it was interrupted in the fourth week, it was a small decline in the next week and regained the championship again!
It was close to 600 million yuan in the first week and another 480 million yuan in the next week, pushing its cumulative box office to the gate of 1 billion yuan, and then won 310 million yuan in the third week... When the movie was released, it earned a total of 1.64 billion yuan in box office, which made Lin Han laugh from ear to ear.
North America won three consecutive box offices, winning $240 million in 11 weeks of release, which is a new record for Chinese-language films in North America, and doubles the 120 million yuan of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Although the price level at that time was completely incomparable to now!
These two major box offices combined have won a global box office of up to $500 million. Including the box office of many countries in the United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Australia, and South America, the global box office of "Mars Rescue" actually reached $720 million!
This is a very incredible result. Lin Han can get a dividend of US$36 million with the 5% box office share agreement he signed. You should know that Lin Han has written so many books this year and has a total income of only US$72 million, which is only half of the money for a movie.
In fact, box office dividends are no longer a new topic in the industry. Xu Jiayan also signed box office dividends, but he signed net profit dividends, which is different from Lin Han's direct global box office dividends. Even so, he can earn the most money in his life!
When he was on Earth, Lin Han remembered that Robert Downey Jr. was ranked first in the actor's income list for many years with the role of Iron Man. In a year, this role earned $80 million, and the box office dividend was quite considerable.

I was delayed in the hospital for too long during the day, especially when I just went to see tinnitus. As a result, the doctor asked me to do magnetic resonance, which was so scared that I was so scared that I paid more than 800 yuan in the examination fee. But I found that nothing was found and I felt so distressed!
