Chapter 381 Breaking through 2 million for the first time

The next day, Monday, December 2004, 12!

""Kung Fu" made 6400 million RMB in its first week, setting a new box office record in the first week of mainland film history!"-- Netease Entertainment
"After the box office record on the first day, Master Xing once again created a new box office record in the first week!" --- Sohu Entertainment reported
""Kung Fu" overwhelmed "A World Without Thieves" and topped the weekly box office rankings!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

Last week's release of "Kung Fu" can be said to be overwhelming, with a box office hit of 4 million yuan in the first 6400 days, breaking the first-week box office record in mainland film history just set by "House of Flying Daggers" 5 months ago!

Coupled with the first-day box office record for a Chinese-language movie set at RMB 1700 million on the first day, Star Master's official debut in the mainland broke two records in a row, which is extremely amazing!
And Feng Dapao, one of the four major directors in the mainland, after "A World Without Thieves" met "Kung Fu", the next week's reported income was 4900 million yuan!

In the past, this result was enough to win the weekly box office champion, but he met the very popular Xingye in the Mainland, and he was kicked out of the throne just after becoming the weekly champion.

However, the two-week cumulative box office of "A World Without Thieves" has officially reached 8000 million, not only far exceeding the 5300 million of "Mobile", but also exceeding Huayi's expectations.

Now it seems that there is no hope for "A World Without Thieves" to catch up with "House of Flying Daggers" and "Man with No Surname", but there is no suspense for the box office to exceed [-] million.

Feng Dapao will definitely become the fourth mainland director to enter the 4 million box office club, but it is hard to say whether he can be one step ahead of Master Xing!

The strength of "Kung Fu" is not only that, it won 2550 million in the first week of Xiangjiang, and won the box office championship of the next week without any suspense.

At the same time, in Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia, "Kung Fu" has won the box office champion, and the momentum is like no other!
Feng Dapao is somewhat depressed, after all, it seems that he will not be able to surpass Chen Hao and the national teacher this year.

However, "A World Without Thieves" can be regarded as breaking the bottleneck of Feng Dapao's movies, allowing people to see another side of it.

What's even more rare is that "A World Without Thieves" has changed the situation that Feng Dapao's films were only popular in the north in the past, and they were pre-cooled as soon as they arrived in the south.

"A World Without Thieves" has also been popular in southern cities, which is undoubtedly great news for Feng Dapao.

At the same time, the second king of Huayi couldn't help laughing. Huayi invested in "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" in the Lunar New Year file, and was responsible for the distribution.

This is also the Lunar New Year stall that Huayi has dominated the mainland for two consecutive years!

Moreover, now everyone has really seen the box office appeal of Master Xing in the mainland, and Hua Yi, who has established a good cooperative relationship with Master Xing, is naturally very happy.

Now that he not only has Feng Dapao as the mainstay, but also has the powerful foreign aid Xingye, Huayi will be even more confident when facing Chen Hao.

……

Originally, the box office hit of "Kung Fu" was expected by Chen Hao, after all, he knew it in his previous life, but now it seems that it is a bit too strong!

It is now the end of 2004, and the 1.69 million of "No Surname" is currently the annual box office champion in the mainland.

"A World Without Thieves" seems to have no hope of surpassing "A Man with No Surname", and the best performing Hollywood blockbuster is "Lord of the Rings 3", with a box office of only 8630 million, and there is no threat.

Originally, Chen Hao also thought that he should be able to secure the annual box office champion in the Mainland in 2004, which made Chen Hao very happy.

Because among the four directors, Guoshi and Feng Dapao have both taken it, only Chen Hao and Chen Kaige haven't.

Chen Kaige's first commercial film "The Promise" will not be released until next year, so it is somewhat understandable, but Chen Hao is different, he started with commercial films.

I thought that "A Man Without a Surname" this time could make up for the vacancy that Chen Hao did not win the annual box office champion.

It's just that "Kung Fu" is now 6400 million yuan in its first week, but it has surpassed the nearly 1000 million box office of "No Surname". Coupled with the popularity of Xingye, it is really uncertain who will win.

虽然截止2004年12月31日，《功夫》的票房不可能超越《无姓之人》，但是《功夫》是在2004年12月23日上映的。

By convention, everyone will count "Kung Fu" as a 2004 film!

Therefore, whether "Man without a Surname" is the 2004 annual box office champion in the Mainland, and whether Chen Hao can win this honor for the first time, all depends on the face of "Kung Fu"!
Thinking of this, Chen Hao was really scratching his head, and only hoped that Master Xing would not be too aggressive!
However, Chen Hao also received good news from North America!

"The Hangover" earned US$3 million in 1126 days last weekend, ranking fifth on the weekend box office list in North America!
But it earned a total box office of 7 million US dollars in 2198 days a week, which means that after 5 weeks of release in North America, the box office of "The Hangover" officially exceeded 2 million US dollars, reaching 2.05 million!
"The Hangover" is continuing to surpass "Beverly Hills Cop" and become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in North American film history!

At this time, "The Hangover" also became the sixth film in the North American film market in 2004 to break 6 million at the box office!

Chen Hao even became the second Chinese director with a box office of over 2 million US dollars in North America!

The other is naturally Wu Baige. The North American box office of "Mission: Impossible 2" is 2.15 million US dollars!
However, according to the box office trend of "The Hangover", Chen Hao is likely to surpass Wu Baige this week and become the number one.

However, compared with the global box office of "Mission: Impossible 2", "The Hangover" performed slightly less at the global box office outside North America.

It is very difficult for "The Hangover" to surpass "Mission: Impossible 2" with a global box office of 5.45 million US dollars!

If Chen Hao wants to surpass Wu Baige and become the Chinese director with the highest box office in the world, he probably has to wait.

At the same time, Chen Hao's other film "Man Without a Surname" earned $3 million at the box office in 625 days last weekend, a drop of 38%, which has eased compared to last week's drop.

And it earned a total box office of 7 million US dollars 1048 days a week, with a cumulative total box office of 4446 million US dollars. It continues to rank after "Hero" and ranks fourth in the box office list of foreign language films in North America!
The success of "The Hangover" exceeded 2 million, and the box office of "No Surname" exceeded 4000 million US dollars, allowing Chen Hao to break the record in North American film history.

For a while, the North American media praised Chen Hao, which can be described as endless.

However, Sony Columbia was uncomfortable. Because of some conflicts, Columbia missed "The Hangover", but "The Hangover" actually broke 2 million US dollars.

Originally, when "The Hangover" was questioned across the United States, Sony Columbia was a little gloating, but now it feels uncomfortable.

According to the current box office trend of "The Hangover", there is great hope that the final box office will reach 2.5 million US dollars!

No one thought that Chen Hao's fourth English-language film would break 4 million at the box office, and even rank among the top ten in the annual box office list in the North American film market!
