Chapter 524 Shocking Box Office Data (22)

In October, while Yang Yi was busy filming "The Long Season", across the ocean in the United States, "Saw" was finally officially released in major theaters in North America.

Since Le Zehan was busy helping to provide suggestions for the tourism development plan of the Black Province and ignored "Saw" which had no chance to be released in China, Mumu Film and Television's promotion of this movie was a bit weak. , so the news that "Saw" directed by Yang Yi was released in the United States did not spread in China at first.

But this movie is very popular in the United States, especially among American horror movie lovers!

After all, it won the gold medal at the New York Horror Film Festival and was praised by many Internet celebrity film critics. In September, it had a high reputation on social media in the United States.

Therefore, on the first day of release, "Saw" grossed 10.5 million at the box office in North America!

Don’t underestimate the number 10.5 million, it’s in U.S. dollars!

Converted into RMB, that’s a box office of more than 70 million RMB!

Of course, it cannot be simply converted into RMB. After all, the movie markets and ticket prices in the two countries are different.

But for a newly released horror movie, the box office on the first day was as high as US$10.5 million, which is already very impressive!

And it's only at the North American box office. In the next half month, "Saw" will continue to land in the film markets of most countries around the world - the gold medal winning work at the New York Horror Film Festival reflects its gold content.

It is worth mentioning that the cost of "Saw" was only over four million US dollars!

In other words, it has only been one day since its release, and "Saw" has nearly made its money back just through box office profits in North America. The subsequent box office profits are almost all pure profits!

The opening box office of $10.5 million is obviously not the limit for "Saw"!

After nearly a week of continuous word-of-mouth fermentation, "Saw" has been sought after by countless horror movie lovers with its novel plot and terrifying mechanism.

As a result, in mid-October, the single-day box office of "Saw" reached an astonishing US$27 million! The global box office has reached a cumulative US$280 million!

Regardless of this data, it is difficult to break the ceiling of horror films. The global box office record of "Return" is US$700 million. However, the production cost of "Return" is US$35 million, and the production cost of "Saw" is only US$35 million. More than four million US dollars!

The Hollywood media exclaimed that "Saw" and the production company behind it, "Good Dream Entertainment", had made huge profits!

This news finally aroused public opinion on domestic microblogs and short video platforms after nearly two weeks of delay.

"Yang Yi is going crazy in the United States, and his new horror movie has grossed nearly 300 million U.S. dollars at the global box office!" 》

"The record of "Yangtze River No. 7" may be broken, and "Saw" will become Yang Yi's highest-grossing movie."

"If the east is not bright, the west is bright?" Yang Yi's new film aims to set global horror film box office record"

"With a global box office of over 2 billion, why can't Yang Yi's Hollywood movies be released in China?" 》

Countless self-media rushed to publish articles, and finally many domestic netizens who did not pay attention to Western media news and rarely watched foreign movies knew that Yang Yi had caused a big battle abroad!

"Is this "Saw" the movie that Yang Yi made a lot of noise about before and was shot in Hollywood?"

"Damn it, Yang Yi has another movie coming out? Why is there no news at all?"

"The country doesn't allow Yang Yi's movie to be released? What's going on?" "It's only been released for two weeks and it has taken over 2 billion in box office? Is it true?"

"When did Yang Yi secretly make a horror movie? Why didn't I know?"

"Ahhhh, I really want to see it. I heard from my classmates who are studying in the United States that this movie is very popular in the United States and has been discussed by many people."

Although the record-breaking is just a wild boast by domestic self-media, the box office of "Saw" has actually started to decline after it reached its peak. In the end, the global box office will definitely not reach 700 million U.S. dollars, or even 500 million U.S. dollars. But this is not Everyone is surprised by its current achievements!

It has grossed US$280 million in global box office in just two weeks, which when converted into RMB has surpassed Yang Yi's second-highest box office film "Space Exploration Editorial".

Why doesn’t this surprise the Chinese people?

What's more, that's the US market, but the global box office is dominated by the West!

As a director and screenwriter, Yang Yi's films have conquered Americans and Westerners. Why doesn't this make the Chinese feel inspired?

However, when everyone searched based on the movie's name, they discovered that the movie had not been released in China and that no one could watch it for the time being. Netizens were suddenly not in a good mood, and they also denounced the domestic film censorship system. , saying that it is not graded, good and bad are all the same.

Of course, it is useless no matter how much you scold them. After so many years, we have not seen the radio and television make changes in response to public opinion.

There are also some sensible netizens who found some stills of "Saw" from foreign websites and figured out that such a bloody and violent movie is indeed not suitable for release in China.

"Don't criticize radio and television for everything. This kind of movie that allows the murderer to win in the end will easily teach bad things to children if it is released in China."

"It's really bloody. Why don't you let it be released with all the skin removed? Then you'll say that the deleted version doesn't look good."

"There is also a lot of noise abroad. Many agencies inside don't know what Yang Yi is thinking. I guess that in a place like the United States where the flower of evil blooms, there will definitely be imitators!"

"It's better not to show it to the public. If you like to watch it, you can find the resources to watch it by yourself."

It's just that these sounds are too weak to be transmitted.

Moreover, these stills do not have the effect of soothing people's hearts. Instead, they make many netizens who are curious about it feel itchy and want to see it even more!

There are also many voices discussing how much Yang Yi can earn from making this movie.

"It's already 280 million yuan now. It's estimated that the global box office will eventually exceed 500 million yuan, which is about 3.5 billion yuan when converted into RMB. I read American media reports that the cost of "Saw" was only over 4 million yuan. US dollars, which is less than 30 million yuan. You can calculate how much money Yang Yi made during this!"

"The second "Space Exploration Editorial Department" and the second "Yangtze River No. 7"! Of course, Yang Yi may not actually earn as much as "Space Exploration Editorial Department". After all, Haomeng Entertainment is owned by the United States. , unlike Mumu Film and Television, which is completely owned by Yang Yi. I heard that Yang Yi also has shares in Haomeng Entertainment, but these have not been made public, so I don’t know how much he can get."

"But there is no doubt that Yang Yi is indeed a super profitable director! Anyway, if I were an investor, I would definitely be willing to invest money in him to make a movie! There is no loss, only a question of how many times the profit is made!"
