Chapter 1216 Avatar's Global First Day Box Office
After the first round of the film was played, the comment section on the movie website was completely overwhelmed, and many viewers gave the film a high score of 9.5! Although it is only an initial score, this score will slowly fall back as the film continues to be released and the number of viewers increases.
But this score still shocked everyone!
9.5 points! Although it is not as high as the 9.8 initial score of "Titanic", it is not much worse!
After all, the love that transcends life and death and class in "Titanic" cannot be replicated. And compared to "Titanic", the movie "Avatar" is more of a commercial film.
No, it can be said that "Avatar" is a serious commercial blockbuster. Even if Lin Fan shows his thoughts on man and nature in every detail of the movie, it cannot change the fact that this movie is a commercial blockbuster.
The most outstanding aspects of this movie are the complex, huge and meticulous settings of the alien planet, the perfect special effects without a single flaw throughout the film, and the stunning, unforgettable and shocking visual enjoyment, rather than the plot, let alone any profound meaning contained in the movie.
So being able to get such a high initial score was enough to shock everyone.
But think about it again, this is Lin Fan's movie, and it took so many years, so much manpower, material resources, energy and financial resources to finally make the movie, so it doesn't seem difficult to get such a high score? Moreover, are there any initial scores of Lin Fan's movies lower than 9 points? It seems that there are none, right? The audience is too lazy to go online to find out what the initial scores of all Lin Fan's movies are. Anyway, everyone knows that none of them are bad, which is enough.
Moreover, if "Titanic" is enough to be recorded in the history of Blue Star's movies based on its initial ratings alone, then this time, "Avatar" will also be able to become the leading special effects blockbuster in the history of Blue Star movies with its perfect visual effects!
No matter how many years have passed, whenever people mention "special effects blockbusters", the first thing that comes to mind is definitely "Avatar"! ...
Twenty-four hours after the premiere, the global first-day box office of "Avatar" was announced.
800 million! US dollars!
That’s 300 million more than “Titanic” from two years ago!
This movie is going to be a huge hit! It's going to sweep all the Blue Star box office! Other filmmakers were so shocked when they saw this result! 800 million! US dollars! I don't even know if my movie has reached 800 million box office in the entire schedule, but what about Lin Fan?
The box office exceeded 800 million on the first day. How much money will this movie make after the entire schedule is over?
Everyone silently calculated in their hearts...
Forget it, I'd better not calculate it, lest I come up with a number that will give me a heart attack, which is more trouble than gain! Anyway, according to the current trend, "Avatar" should have a better box office performance than "Titanic" that year.
After all, when "Titanic" was released, Lin Fan did not have the fame and status he has now. With just one movie, he broke through the shackles of Chinese films and became the top filmmaker in the entire Blue Star.
Now, after two years of development, with the successor of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the Grammy Award Grand Slam and other honors, Lin Fan's name has become a household name throughout the blue planet.
Under such circumstances, how could Lin Fan's new movie be bad? So, history repeated itself once again, and the pre-sale tickets for "Avatar" were directly cleared out by enthusiastic fans and audiences! However, this time, major theaters and cinemas wanted to increase the number of screenings and schedules for "Avatar", but there was no way.
Because the screening rate of the movie "Avatar" has reached the highest value in the history of major theaters, almost every theater has a screening rate of at least 40%!
Even some theaters that have close cooperation with Earthling Studio, such as Shengxia Cinema, have directly raised the screening rate to more than 50%!
With such a high screening rate, there is really no way to increase it unless all other films scheduled during the same period are cancelled.
But how could a cinema only show one movie every day throughout the entire schedule?
In addition, the movie "Avatar" has high requirements for the theater's screening facilities and equipment, and not every theater can meet the screening requirements of this movie.
Many theaters with inadequate projection equipment can only choose to play the converted version, which is much worse.
The audience originally went to see this movie for the perfect visual enjoyment. If they can see the perfect effect of the original version, they certainly won't force themselves to watch the converted version.
Therefore, without increasing the number of screenings and shows, tickets for the movie Avatar are even harder to come by! Many viewers who can’t buy tickets have to go online and buy a transfer ticket at a high price. Unfortunately, now that everyone can’t even get a ticket themselves, how can they transfer it?
Audiences who have already bought tickets and those who have already watched the movie have posted their ticket purchase records and ticket stubs online, because this is something to be proud of and to keep in mind.
There was also a wave of showing off tickets online. In the super blog and super chat, everyone greeted each other every day: Did you buy tickets for "Avatar" today? In such a good situation, Yang Hongxia of course gave a thumbs up - no, she took the opportunity to apply for an extension key again, anyway, this is a routine operation.
Even before the movie was released, Yang Hongxia had already asked her colleagues in the studio to prepare it, and they were just waiting for the first day's box office figures to come out so that they could apply for an extension.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Regardless of whether it will be approved or not, it is always a good idea to apply.
More importantly, this astonishing first-day box office finally wiped out all of Yang Hongxia’s worries.
They are not short of money. The profit share from last year's movie received at the beginning of this year has actually made up for the working capital of Earthling Studios.
You know, even if a company has a market value of tens of billions, it will not have too much liquidity. Most of the funds have either been converted into real estate or invested in ongoing projects.
Earthling Studios is no exception.
Lin Fan has no shortage of funds for the three films he is currently producing. It will take a long time for the box office revenue of Avatar to actually come in, so we need to wait.
But this did not prevent Yang Hongxia from starting to plan how to utilize this part of the funds to maximize profits.
For example, the subsequent development and construction of the Honghuang Universe Theme Park, the Earthman Studio's next film and television drama shooting plan, and Lin Fan's personal concert! (End of this chapter)
