Chapter 987 Super dark horse "Thailand"

After its premiere in North America, "Gravity" has achieved outstanding box office results and an amazing reputation.

At the same time, "Gravity" also won a box office of $2840 million outside of North America.

The global box office of "Gravity" in Europe, America and other countries and regions reached a total of 8395 million US dollars in the first week, and successfully won the global weekly box office champion!

Including the 2.3472 million US dollars in the Asian box office that has already been drawn, the global box office of "Gravity" has exceeded 3 million US dollars at this time, reaching 3.1867 million US dollars.

This achievement exceeds the US$1.5 million cost of film production plus publicity and distribution. Obviously, "Gravity" must have made a profit.

After seeing the box office and word-of-mouth of "Gravity" in the first week, Chen Hao felt relieved and no longer worried about the film's North American box office.

Now Chen Hao is more concerned about the nomination list for the 70th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards this year.

"Gravity" chose to be released in early December in order to impact the Hollywood awards season, and the most important ones are naturally the Golden Globes and Oscars.

For "Gravity", Chen Hao is still very confident and ambitious, thinking that this is a science fiction film suitable for the awards season, so he did not hesitate to spend 500 million US dollars on public relations.

PR awards are reasonable and legal in the United States and have their own set of operating rules.

However, Chen Hao and Liang Tianchi Pictures are not good at this aspect. The real ones are LSPs like Harvey Weinstein, who have produced many best films and best actresses and queens.

The day when the list of nominations will be announced is coming soon.

在《地心引力》第二周征程还没结束的时候，2012年12月13日凌晨5点（帝都时间12月13日晚9点）。

The nominees for the 70th Golden Globe Awards were announced in Beverly Hills, New York.

Ida Takla O'Reilly, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, along with actors Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms, announced the nomination list.

""Gravity" won 70 nominations at the 5th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards!" - "Hollywood Reporter"

"'Lincoln' leads the Golden Globe nomination list with 7 nominations!" --- Variety

"Chen Hao and Li Yin are nominated for the best director at the same time, and the Golden Globe Awards will stage the Huaxia Derby!" --- "Los Angeles Times"

……

In the just-announced 70th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, the biographical film "Lincoln" directed by Spielberg led the list of nominations with 7 nominations.

Then came "Django Unchained," which received six nominations, including a double nomination for Best Supporting Actor, with Lily and Christopher Waltz nominated at the same time.

The second is "Gravity", which received 5 nominations. The film won 5 nominations including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actress in a Drama Movie, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Film Score. Great nomination.

This was followed by "Assassination of Benjamin", "Escape from Tehran", "Les Misérables", and "Silver Line Behind the Dark Clouds" all received 4 nominations.

In addition, Li Yin's "Life of Pi" also received 3 nominations, including the best director nomination.

This is the first time in the history of the Golden Globe Awards that two Chinese directors, even Asian directors, were nominated for the Best Director Award at the same time.

The two are also well-known Chinese directors all over the world. Among them, Li Yong has already won the Golden Globe and even the Oscar for Best Director, which is even better than Chen Hao.

This year, the two have become competitors for the first time, and they are both nominated for best director with fantasy themes, which is even more interesting.

Therefore, it is not too exaggerated to say that the best director of the Golden Globe Award will stage the Huaxia Derby.

In addition, "Safe & Sound" sung by Taylor Swift in "The Hunger Games" was nominated for Best Original Song.

In addition, the "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" released by Haotian Special Effects this year was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Film.

This nomination affirmed the production level of Haotian's special effects, but the box office of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" in the United States can be said to be terrible.

Perhaps it is because the story of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is too oriental and the cultural differences are too great, which makes audiences in European and American countries not buy it.

In the end, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" only earned a box office of 856 million US dollars in North America.

The final global box office of the film was only US$1.3 million, of which Mainland China contributed US$1.12 million.

That is to say, the total box office of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" in Western countries and regions such as Europe and the United States is less than 2000 million US dollars!
Compared with "Despicable Me", "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Kung Fu Panda 5" which broke the box office of US$6 million worldwide, this is not a star.

Cultural barriers are indeed a problem that is difficult to break in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the mainland market has won a super high box office of 7.12 million yuan, breaking the box office record of the animation film history in the mainland, and it is still a huge success.

In the future, Haotian Special Effects will continue to create the "Journey to the West" animation film universe. In addition to developing the "Journey to the West" series, it will also continue to export culture to Western countries and regions.

Even though it may not make much money, or even lose money, Chen Hao will still insist on doing so.

Because this is one of the original intentions of Haotian's establishment, and it can be regarded as Chen Hao's thoughts again!

With Chen Hao's current identity, status, and wealth, he has no regrets. The next thing is that money can't buy me, I'm happy, and I have to do something all over again.

Of course, Chen Hao will not give up everything to do it, after all, he is not that extreme.

After the announcement of the nomination list for the 70th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, Chen Hao felt at ease, and returned to China after the box office of the second week of "Gravity" was released in North America.

Because on December 12, the 23th Golden Horse Awards will officially open, and it has won 49 nominations. The crew of "Gravity", which is regarded as the most popular, will naturally attend.

Let's talk about the box office of "Gravity" in the second weekend in North America. Because of the film's high reputation, the number of theaters showing it has increased by 85 again, reaching a total of 3660.

In the end, "Gravity" earned a stunning box office of $4426 million in its second weekend.

This weekend's box office results don't look high, but compared with the $5555 million in the first week, "Gravity" fell only 20.7%, which is definitely an astonishing figure.

Obviously, the good word-of-mouth has become the guarantee of the film's long battery life.

In addition, the Golden Globe Awards has just announced the nomination list, and "Gravity" has won 5 nominations, which is even more powerful. The film should be able to be a long-term blockbuster.

After 2 weeks of release in North America, the box office of "Gravity" has exceeded 1 million US dollars, reaching 1.234 million.

Judging from the current word-of-mouth and decline of the film, the goal of "Gravity" is no longer 1.5 million US dollars, but 2 million US dollars!

……

"With you, let me report the situation, huh..." Sister Shi looked at Chen Hao who was beside her with an indifferent face, panting slightly coquettishly.

At this time, Chen Hao and Sister Shi were already returning to Huaxia, heading for the private plane to the north of Baodao.

"Huh?" Chen Hao hummed unconsciously.

Seeing this, Sister Shi continued, "It's about "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand"."

"Yeah!" Chen Hao finally had a reaction when he heard the word "Tai囧", sat up slightly and said, "Say it!"

On December 2012, 12, "On the Journey 12: Lost in Thailand" was officially released nationwide. Because it was produced by Chen Hao, and "On the Journey 2" was in the forefront, the film's first day of filming reached 1% , a total of 38.5 screenings!
It is higher than the 21.3% of the main competitor "Life of Pi" in the same period, and the 20.6% of Feng Dapao's "[-]".

The higher film schedule also gave Xu Shanzheng's crew and the media a big surprise. The box office of "People on Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" on the first day (including the zero-point show) earned a total of 3986.2 million yuan at the box office!
This result directly broke the three major box office records:
First, the highest box office opening record on the first day of the film market in December in the history of China Films.

Second, China's domestic comedy film has the highest box office record on the first day.

Third, Huaxia Film History's highest-grossing film opened on Wednesday.

The box office of 3986.2 million yuan accounted for 63.8% of the overall market data of the day, overwhelming the two major competitors, and strongly won the daily box office champion!

Of course, "Life of Pi" has been released for 21 days, and "14" has been released for [-] days!

Let’s talk about the disaster blockbuster "2" by Feng Dapao. The investment cost was 1.37 million yuan, but the box office was not as big as his previous "Tangshan Earthquake". It only received [-] million yuan in the first week.

And in the second week of the 7-day box office, the box office also had limited growth, only 1.5 million yuan. So far, the cumulative box office is only 3.2 million yuan!
And its current daily box office is not as good as "Life of Pi", which was released a week earlier, and it only ranks third on the daily box office list!
On the first day of Lost on Journey 2: Lost in Thailand, while breaking three records at the box office on the first day, its attendance rate is also the highest, with an average of 56 people per game. Moreover, the audience has a good reputation, and its film schedule should increase. The box office is even more worth looking forward to.

Affected by this, the film schedule of "[-]" has decreased, and the box office is bound to be squeezed. There is no hope of a comeback. Feng Dapao is doomed to miss!

The fact is also true. Because of the good box office performance of "Lost on the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand", the number of films is constantly increasing, and its daily box office is also rising sharply, reaching its peak on Saturday.

It earned 9300 million yuan in a single day, making it the second highest single-day box office for a domestic film after "Gravity" with 9950 million yuan.

After winning another 8700 million RMB at the box office on Sunday, "On the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" exceeded everyone's expectations and won a weekly box office of 3.1 million RMB in the first week!

This first week's box office results are second only to "Gravity"'s 3.411 million yuan, ranking second on the domestic film's first week box office list!

此外，还落后于《泰坦尼克号3D》的4.43亿以及《变形金刚3》的4.12亿，位居华夏影史首周票房第4位！
The first-week box office of "Lost on Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" stunned everyone, and the media exploded collectively for a while.

"The Box Office of "On My Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" is a big box office hit, breaking three box office records on the first day!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment

……

The box office of "On the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" was so violent, it obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, except of course Chen Hao.

Although its word-of-mouth cannot be said to be one-sided, the audience likes it very much, even serving as tap water, calling friends and friends to watch this movie, and they themselves are doing it twice and three times.

At the same time, because of its outstanding box office performance, its film schedule has reached 53.45% on Monday of the second week after the first week, and the number of daily broadcasts has reached an astonishing 33001.

While the media is reporting the box office hit of "Lost on Journey 2: Lost in Thailand", they are also analyzing why the box office of this movie with an investment of only 3000 million is so unbelievable.

In the second week of "On the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand", we ushered in a strong enemy, that is Cheng Long's "Zodiac".

Now the media are speculating on the final box office of "Lost on the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand", and also want to see whether "Lost on the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand" can continue to be popular at the box office in the face of "Zodiac".

结果，12月20日上映的《十二生肖》在上映首日票房拿到了4680.9万（包含零点场票房），一举刷新了《人在囧途2：泰囧》刚刚创造的12月最高开画票房纪录。

At the same time, "Zodiac" also surpassed "On the Journey 3613.67: Lost in Thailand" with 2 million yuan, and became the top daily box office champion.

In view of this, the media all believed that the appearance of "Zodiac" would affect the box office of "People on the Journey 2: Lost in Thailand", and found that the daily box office of the two was very close, with a difference of less than 200 million.

更让人难以置信的是在12月22日的星期六，拿下7291.12万票房的《人在囧途2：泰囧》以300万的差距反超了《十二生肖》拿下了日冠。

On Sunday, the gap was even widened to 900 million, and the jaw dropped again!
