Chapter 425: Where did the Avengers spend their $400 million?
No wonder they were so shocked.
Hollywood's film industry is already very mature, which means that everyone has a rough idea of the level of production that a movie can achieve after it is released, even if it's not precise.
Looking at the producers, the IP status, the initial screening schedule of the theaters, the distribution channels, etc., it is basically impossible for a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions to make a comeback to ten billion.
The level of the production team determines the level at which the film will compete.
Although "Resident Evil" is Magi's A-level movie, its other half comes from the Daxia team, whose film industry is at the bottom worldwide.
This determines that the industry generally believes that it is quite good for this movie to reach the second or third tier.
Given the popularity of the game, the generally estimated total box office in North America should be in the hundreds of millions of yuan.
But now, 60 million on the first day? This isn’t global? This is just North America?
And there’s this 87% freshness!
It’s just a different way of saying it, but if you convert it into a rating, it’s 8.7 out of 10!
This is so fucking high!
Under this circumstance, the box office is stable, the ratings are high, and it’s the first day again.
That means...it will continue to rise!!!
Everyone was stunned when the first day box office figures came out!
It feels like we have elite soldiers, planes, cannons, tanks and everything else, but the enemy just used firecrackers to overturn our entire army!
Did you feel it was sudden, terrifying, or angry?
That’s how it feels with Lionsgate and Anna!
His resources and background are less than one-tenth of mine, but the data is catching up!
The key point is that "Resident Evil" itself was a stepping stone for them! But now it seems that the underdog is about to make a comeback!
"What?"
"67 million? US dollars?"
"Yes."
“87%!!!”
"Have you found the navy?"
"It seems not. This project is A-rated by Magi, and it was only upgraded after the film was completed. The Avengers are the main funder. It is estimated that the largest amount of money they spent was on Moonlight Sonata!"
"What about other propaganda media?"
"...The Avengers didn't spend much money. Their biggest move was releasing an Iron Man song and then pushing a movie release announcement to all players in the Resident Evil game... and they did it just three days ago..."
"They basically didn't buy any press releases. It was probably because Magi couldn't stand it and felt that it was a movie after all, and it was unacceptable that there was no publicity at all. So they used their own free resources to push it..."
“.......”
You're from Daxia, right? Are you trying to get something for nothing with me?
I'm so angry!
Especially Anna, she saw the comments about her online: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Great figure!
Full of ugly gazes!
But Alice seems to have found another way!
A large number of female fans flocked to Instagram, and her number of fans skyrocketed from several million to 18 million overnight!
And it continues to rise!
"Sister, sister! Can you point a gun at me?"
"Sister, are you specializing in Daxia martial arts? The fighting scenes are awesome!"
“Alice is the coolest female character I’ve seen in years!”
"Hey! Amy, can you give me a headshot with a baseball bat?"
"......Youcrazy."
"Amy, were you afraid of zombies when you were acting?"
"What happened back there Amy? Did you save the world?"
"Amy was awesome in Resident Evil!"
"I now declare that Amy is my new goddess!"
"Will there be a sequel to Resident Evil? When will it be released? Will you still be in it? I won't watch it if it's not you!"
Amy looked at the enthusiastic fans online and she had a feeling that she had made the right choice this time!
But the problem also arises. Everyone can see that this is a series of movies.
So can she still star in the sequel?
Given her current situation, she will definitely be promoted to a higher level, but she has a feeling that this role may very well become her masterpiece!
So, should she take the initiative?
So she picked up her phone.
Magi's eyes were also opened.
Lin Mo initially promised to invest no less than 400 million US dollars in this film.
From the beginning till now, they haven't seen a penny...
But...
The effect is really awesome!
The song from "Ironman" is not something you can get just by having money!
If other companies want it, how much are you willing to pay?
Is $100 million enough? No one knows.
Now this person's worth is priceless in the market!
But if someone says it exists, it exists!
A clip from "Moonlight" appeared very early in the game, and this plot was laid out a long time ago!
There are also "Resident Evil" game players, who are the perfect audience for the movie. This push accurately covers the target customer base of more than 400 million people worldwide!
Isn’t this more effective than so much publicity, verbal attacks or creating scandals?
If it were another company, how much would you pay? Who would you ask to promote it for you?
Can you find a project that is suitable for your movie to promote it?
The publicity and promotion for 400 million targeted customers, that is an astronomical figure!
There is nothing to complain about the script, the director, and even the post-production team.
Especially Wukong and Loki, their level is comparable to that of Hollywood's top actors!
If they didn't know the other party's identity, they would all want to poach him for their own use.
Now...
Looking back, where did the Avengers' $400 million go?
The Avengers did not get any real money, but the resources they are paying for now cannot be obtained by Magi!
No other Hollywood company can get it!
If you want to get it, you'll have to spend a lot of money, and the movie will lose money...
The Avengers is not just an inspirational story of an unknown newcomer in the film industry venturing into Hollywood!
All Westerners have a wrong understanding of the Avengers!
The Avengers themselves are a huge capital! They have a lot of resources! And these resources are unique!
They are the big hands behind the scenes controlling everything and moving towards their goals with determination.
The industry began to re-examine "Resident Evil", review their previous understanding of the film, and re-examine this team from Daxia.
Especially director Wukong!
Many people checked his resume and were surprised to find that this person was very unusual in Daxia!
Strictly speaking he only has 3 movies!
"Once Upon a Time in China", "Infernal Affairs", "Kung Fu Hustle", and "Resident Evil" are his fourth films since his debut.
At this time, he had only been in the industry for 5 years!
"Infernal Affairs" swept all 6 awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Both the script and the filming were of extremely excellent quality!
"Kung Fu" has won the box office record of original films in Daxia, second only to the 2.98 billion record of the Hollywood blockbuster "The Bourne Legacy" in Daxia many years ago!
He debuted with 4 films, which were both a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office, and each one was better than the last!
What kind of probability is this? Is this person never going to miss?
The reputation of "Resident Evil" has reversed and its word of mouth has skyrocketed.
The next day, the box office exceeded 70 million US dollars!
Tomb Raider: Freshness Rating: 82%; North American Box Office: $83 million; Ranking: 1; North American Total: $150 million; Global Total: $240 million
Resident Evil: 89% Freshness Rating: $72 million North American Box Office; US Dollar Ranking: 3rd; North American Total Box Office: $130 million; Global Total Box Office: $200 million
......
“!!!”
"Oh my god! The rating can actually go up!"
"7200! The premiere didn't even reach the top?"
"And I don't know if you've noticed, the screening schedule for Resident Evil..."
"Resident Evil 9%, Tomb Raider 23%!"
Even this 9% was only achieved by Magi offline cinemas giving 20% of the screenings.
Other theaters were not very optimistic about this movie, and gave some appropriate discounts, but it was really not much...
"I understand!"
"I don't think 72 million is the end of it..."
"The audience for Resident Evil is mainly gamers, which means that the people who came to see the movie these two days are probably also this group of people."
"Then the general public... probably hasn't bought tickets yet..."
