The box office battle between "Ghost Story" and "Back to the Future 3" continues.

For every movie, the box office in the first week is very important. For some movies with relatively high publicity in the early stage and poor film quality, the box office in the first week can even account for more than 60% of the total box office revenue!

It is true that these two movies are not bad movies. Even if the box office of "Back to the Future 3" in another time and space did not reach the results of the other two movies, it cannot be said that it is a bad movie, but it can only be said that it is an expectation. Movies that are more intense than watching movies.

But this is the original sin for "Back to the Future 3".

What the audience wanted to eat was a watermelon, but "Back to the Future 3" only brought out apples. The psychological gap made this movie not very good in the hearts of ordinary moviegoers.

This is like Zhou Xingchi's last movie "The New King of Comedy" that Zhou Xingchi saw when Wu Jianye was reborn. In fact, Wu Jianye thinks this movie is very good. If it is shot by an ordinary director Maybe the box office will be better for this movie.

But it happens to be Zhou Xingchi's work. It doesn't mean that Wu Jianye thinks that this movie is Zhou Xingchi's talent. A feast of new ideas.

It's a pity that the protagonist has changed. For new audiences, they watch this movie with the attitude of "The King of Comedy". The movie directed by Zhou Xingchi is actually Zhou Xingchi who is most suitable for the leading role. Although Wang Baoqiang is already working hard I have learned Zhou Xingchi's style.

But in the end it's Dong Shi's imitation.

Even some viewers who are not optimistic about this movie have never seen Zhou Xingchi's movie. After all, in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, Zhou Xingchi had already been praised to the altar, and the audience's expectations were too high, so it was Will lead to "The New King of Comedy" hit the box office
the next day!
"Ghost Love" box office: 1529 million US dollars!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $1603 million!
The box office of the two films has dropped to a certain extent. In fact, this is also related to the holidays in North America. Now everyone is paying attention to the three-day weekend box office.

That's the real test of these two films!

Friday!

"Ghost Love" box office: 2209 million US dollars!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $1692 million!
"Back to the Future 3" has formed a counter-kill to "Back to the Future [-]", and the decisive factor here is the audience's reputation.

Facts have proved that the word-of-mouth of the audience is the most important factor for a movie's box office. Although the so-called movie reviews can form a certain scale of impact on the movie in the early stage, when the movie's release time is prolonged, the The attendance rate and box office of a movie will change with the audience's word of mouth.

Saturday!

"Ghost Love" box office: 2162 million US dollars!
"Back to the Future 3" box office: $1391 million!
The box office gap between the two films is gradually widening.

At this time, Spielberg, Lucas and others are really anxious, because according to the current trend, "Back to the Future 3" will lose at the box office!

The classic series of "Back to the Future", together with the golden combination of Spielberg and Zemeckis, lost at the box office to Wu Jianye, who came to Hollywood for the first time to shoot a movie!
At this time, not only Spielberg and Lucas were aware of this problem, but even other production companies were also aware of this problem.

I have talked about this issue before. The success or failure of these two films at the box office is not just a battle between two companies or two films, but also a change in the Hollywood landscape.

After seeing the box office, quite a few bosses of production companies couldn't help saying, "Hollywood is about to change!"

In fact, the world of Hollywood is indeed undergoing changes. At this time, Linda, as the owner of Phantom Entertainment, received a lot of calls, including top Hollywood stars, Hollywood ace producers, and six other Hollywood companies. A phone call from the president of the production company.

They are all looking for cooperation with Phantom Entertainment, and some production companies have even asked Phantom if they can join in the investment of "Jurassic Park".

Always follow in the footsteps of successful people!

Linda once said this at a press conference, and now Wu Jianye has used the movie "Ghost Love" to prove that he can succeed in Hollywood, and it is an astonishing success.

At the beginning, everyone’s evaluation of the movie "Ghost Love" is that this movie may achieve a certain degree of success in Europe and Southeast Asia, but it will definitely fail in North America, even if some people have different ideas. The highest evaluation given by people who have given it is nothing more than that this movie may eventually become a popular movie!
Now reality hit them hard in the face!
Not enough. For Hollywood practitioners, the last thing they need to care about is face.

When Li Lianjie came to Hollywood to release the film, the boss of the production company could put his legs up on the table and watch Li Lianjie through the gap in his office. The crew boarded for 3 hours without any complaints!

This is real Hollywood!
Maybe they have all kinds of discrimination here, but in front of interests, all discrimination is not important.

Sunday!

The movie box office of "Ghost Love" has also declined somewhat, but it still remains above 2000 million, 2099 million US dollars.

As for the box office of "Back to the Future 3", it continues to maintain its downward trend, with a single-day box office of only 1129 million US dollars!

As of now, the first weekend box office of the two films has also come out.

Because of the existence of this holiday for people with plots, and the addition of these two films, there are two more Wednesdays and Thursdays in the opening weekend than the previous films.

So both movies had a higher opening week than the average movie.

The box office of "Ghost Love" reached a terrifying $9735 million in the first week!
Even people who are staring at the box office trend every day still showed a shocked expression after seeing this data. If inflation and the extra two days of box office are not counted, the movie "Ghost Love Is Not Ended" The box office has broken the box office record for the first week in North America!
Wu Jianye naturally also saw this set of data. The box office of the movie "The Love of Ghosts" far exceeds the box office of another time and space.

There are actually many factors involved in this. First of all, this movie has been fully reported before it is released. Regardless of whether these reports are good or bad, this movie has almost no audience's attention from the establishment of the project to the end of shooting, and then to the release. Disappeared in front of my eyes.

At the same time, the quality of this movie has exceeded everyone's expectations. If "Back to the Future 3" everyone is looking forward to a watermelon, then everyone's expectation for the movie "Human Ghost Love" is a grape. But Wu Jianye offered them a watermelon!
The word-of-mouth explosion of professional film critics and ordinary audiences has brought an absolute advantage to this film!
There is also the last important reason, which is the number of theaters where this movie was released. In another time and space, this movie did not receive much attention from the start of filming to its release, and there were not many screens when it was released. , only about 2000 yuan!
But now, the release of this movie has received more than 4000 screens.

All of these are the reasons why the box office of this movie far exceeds that of another time and space.

The box office of the movie "Back to the Future 3", which is the rival of "Ghost Love", is very successful if it is put in the usual way. After all, their box office in the first week also reached 7745 million US dollars!
But compared with the movie "Ghost Love", it's a lot worse, and everyone knows that the box office of "Back to the Future 3" has been declining, and the downward trend It's very serious. According to the current trend, the box office will drop by at least 50% in the second week.

When Wu Jianye saw these reports, he chuckled and said to himself, "Actually, Spielberg, Lucas and others still have to thank themselves."

In fact, it is true. If it were not for the appearance of Wu Jianye, they would not have stepped up their promotional efforts on the movie "Back to the Future 3", whether it is the number of theaters screened or the publicity funds far exceeding This movie from another time and space.

You must know that in another time and space, the box office of this movie in North America did not exceed [-] million!
Now it seems that this movie has a box office of over [-] million, it should be a foregone conclusion, at least it is successful at the box office.

As for the appearance of Wu Jianye, the publicity cost of the film has also increased a lot. It is not known whether Spielberg, Lucas and others will lose or make money.

Presumably, with the reputation of the "Back to the Future" series, this movie will still make them some money.

How much they earn is not what Wu Jianye cares about, but how much Phantom Entertainment earns now is the concern of countless production companies.

From the data released by Phantom Entertainment, they can see that the production cost of the movie "Ghost Love" is 2300 million, the promotion cost is 2300 million, and the total cost is 4600 million US dollars!
And the box office of this movie in the first week in North America is now 9735 million US dollars, because the distribution of this movie is in charge of Phantom Entertainment itself, so they only need to share with the theaters.

A new sharing model has been prevalent in North America since this year, which means that in the first week, the producer's share will account for 90% of the total box office, and then decrease in turn
In other words, Phantom Entertainment can get a box office share of 8761 million US dollars in the first week!

This has exceeded the total production cost of the movie "The Love of Ghosts"!

In a week, Phantom Entertainment has already started to make a profit. Of course, some taxes have to be deducted, but everyone knows that although the taxes in North America are high, there are many ways to avoid taxes.
Just when everyone thought this was the highlight moment of the movie "Ghost Love", the film's overseas box office results were also announced by Phantom Entertainment.

In addition to North America, the global box office of the movie "Ghost Love" has reached as high as 1.9 million US dollars, which is twice the box office of North America!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this data. No one thought that the global box office of the movie "Ghost Love" would be so high.

You must know that in the past, even if the global box office of North American movies was higher than this movie, it would not be twice as high!

But then everyone understood that the most important credit for this must belong to Wu Jianye.

First of all, the popularity of Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani in Europe ensures that this movie has a strong appeal in Europe.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this movie not only increased Wu Jianye's appeal in the mainstream North American film circle, but also cultivated a group of fixed filmmakers for Wu Jianye in Europe with the release of this movie in Europe. audience.

Then there is the box office contribution of this movie in Southeast Asia!

Fengge Cinemas is the largest theater company in Southeast Asia, and it is the largest theater company in almost every country in Southeast Asia, which also provides a firm box office contribution for this film in Southeast Asia.

At this time, no one doubted the achievements of the strategic cooperation between Fengge Media and Phantom Entertainment.

According to the customary rules, the production company owns 40% of the global box office share, and the movie "Ghost Love" brought Phantom Entertainment 7600 million US dollars in revenue in the first week!

Wu Jianye's name and photo once again became the cover characters of major print media.

"Wu Jianye: A man who is good at making miracles!" -- "Hollywood Reporter"

"What else is there that Wu Jianye can't succeed?" -- "Variety Show"

"Who's going to doubt him at this point?" --The Hollywood Times

These media seem to have forgotten how madly they were at Wu Jianye before, and now their reports have become all praises
After seeing these reports, Wu Jianye just smiled slightly. Wu Jianye has long known the virtues of the media, even though he is now the behind-the-scenes boss of the largest media group in Southeast Asia, and the hottest upstart Phantom in Hollywood today. The behind-the-scenes boss of entertainment.

His views on the media remain unchanged.

Praise the high and depress the low is always the mainstream of the media.

Wu Jianye may not care about these things, but it doesn't mean that other people don't care. These people have long been holding their breath because of the previous incident. Now that they see these reports, they naturally feel at ease.

Among them, apart from Linda, Johnson and others, the happiest ones are the leading actors of the movie "The Love of Ghosts".

They were all under great pressure when they participated in this movie. Even Isabel Adjani, who has always been calm, was a little nervous.

But now this movie is not only successful, but also very successful, which brings them tangible benefits!
Mel Gibson personally called Wu Jianye to express his gratitude. When he chose to join this movie, he just wanted to expand his popularity in Europe. Now it seems that it is not only famous in Europe, but also in North America. The popularity will also be greatly improved because of this movie.

The release of two films with a box office of over [-] million in succession allowed Mel Gibson to ask for more money when negotiating with other production companies in Hollywood!
