Everyone on the Internet is keeping an eye on the box office updates on Fanqie.com.
Fanqie.com did not disappoint everyone and updated the overseas box office of the day in a timely manner.
First of all, the box office of "Extreme Alien" has dropped to a shocking $70,000.
Only $70,000?
Well, $70,000 at the box office is basically a flop.
You mean the fourth day?
Is there a fourth day for this movie?
Cinemas are very realistic. They only care about box office and money. If it can make money, they will definitely schedule more shows. If it can't make money, they will definitely schedule fewer shows or even withdraw the film early...
This is the reality that no one can do anything about.
After all, everyone has to eat, right?
According to the latest news on Fanqie.com, this "The Alien" will not see the sun tomorrow.
As soon as the box office results came out, the film was withdrawn from theaters in advance by all major cinemas. There were even rumors that Manager John, who was responsible for introducing "The Alien", was severely criticized by his superiors and his annual bonus was deducted.
The failure of "The Alien" disappointed everyone in the film industry, and the top management of Tianyu were also unhappy.
If this movie is not successful, the next movie will not be able to make much money even if Columbia Pictures is willing to buy out the overseas copyrights, and it may even be less than one million US dollars.
After all, this is a lesson learned from the past...
Of course, Tianyu and others were indeed disappointed, but netizens were in a pretty good mood.
The overseas box office of "This Man From Earth" has also come out.
Three hundred and ten thousand!
It even suppressed the box office of "Your Future Self" by $10,000.
Don’t underestimate this $10,000 box office. Even though it’s only $10,000, it represents that a Chinese film has finally made its way to Hollywood, officially defeating local films on the Hollywood battlefield!
although……
"Your Future Self" has actually gone downhill.
although……
According to various data analysis, "This Man From Earth" may be a hit, but it can't break the $600,000 box office record of "Your Future Self" at its peak...
but.
This is enough to make others feel bad!
No matter what, Chinese films are on the rise.
…
After seeing the box office data, Thomson felt very depressed.
However, he was no longer able to compete with "The Man from Earth".
"Your Future Self" has been aired for twenty days and its potential has been almost exhausted. Even if the male and female protagonists continue to promote it and do some fancy things, it will be useless and it will not be able to stop the downward trend.
After all, there are only so many movie fans, and its own American Pictures will not do much promotion for its film. Now the company's focus is on the film "The Rise of King Kong" which will be released in May.
The reputation of the "King Kong" series has always been very good. The company is ready to reach a higher level with this series of movies, so many plot aspects and special effects are done very well, and the publicity is even more impossible to fall behind.
Compared to last year's "King Kong: Genesis", this movie has invited Hollywood celebrities like Annie to help out, and its ambition is already obvious!
Last year, the box office of "King Kong 1: Origin" in China was 480 million, and the box office of "King Kong 2: The Rise of King Kong" in China is definitely going to be 600 million, and even set its sights on the 900 million box office of the powerful "Planet Age"...
Under such circumstances, your "Future You" is destined to give way to him.
no way……
Who made this movie the company's flagship product?
My own "Future You" is also very good, but...
After all, it can't be compared with this big-headed movie.
So Thomson could only watch as "This Man From Earth" showed off his might in front of him and defeated him on his own land without any way to stop him...
he……
I am no longer able to struggle!
Since there is no way to struggle, just enjoy it.
In fact, Thomson hasn’t actually seen The Man From Earth.
On the fourth day, Thomson was finally fully armed and ran to the cinema to watch the entire movie.
After watching this movie, Thomson could only sigh that the screenwriter of this movie is such a genius!
He could even think of this?
The box office results for the fourth day were also released. The box office of "This Man From Earth" exceeded $440,000, reaching a peak value, while my own "Your Future Self" dropped by $300,000, sliding to a helpless figure of $250,000...
After seeing the box office on the fourth day and then reviewing the plot of the movie, Thompson suddenly felt that he had a good idea!
Thomson felt inspired, and he even thought that this "The Man From Earth" had greater potential to be explored in the future, and it could even be made into a series of movies like "King Kong"!
After returning to the company, Thomson called his screenwriter team to talk to them about their ideas for the next science fiction film. After hearing his ideas, the screenwriter team expressed their excitement.
They also watched the movie "This Man From Earth" and they were also very inspired. Even Jim, the team leader of the screenwriter team, told Thomson that he wanted to write "This Man From Earth 2"...
This idea hit it off with Thomson!
Of course, if you want to shoot a second film, you have to get the other party's authorization and negotiate the price with them.
It's okay if you borrow from others, after all, there's nothing wrong with "Alien Attack" borrowing from "Alien Attack", but if you want to use the name "The Man from Earth 2", then that's definitely not okay.
This involves legal issues.
The idea is good, but Thomson also has his own concerns...
This movie "This Man From Earth" is so popular, will this smart guy Lu Yuan authorize himself?
Judging from recent information from all sources, Lu Yuan definitely has a big appetite.
Or maybe we could cooperate with Lu Yuan's company to make this movie? The company would pay the bulk of the money, while Lu Yuan would be responsible for the authorization and promotion in China?
When he thought of this, he called his company's top management. Naturally, they also noticed the Hollywood success of "The Man From Earth". After careful consideration, they agreed with Thompson's idea and were willing to provide one million US dollars for Thompson to purchase the sequel rights of "The Man From Earth".
When the company agreed, Thomson naturally did not drag his feet and called Hua Xia without saying a word, hoping to contact Lu Yuan from the "Remote" company and more importantly, hoping to talk to Lu Yuan about the script.
…
Box office of 310,000 on the third day!
Box office of 440,000 on the fourth day!
One million dollars in box office in four days!
This undoubtedly made all Chinese movie fans' hearts twitch violently!
On that day, various sections continued to report on the box office performance of this movie...
only……
Although netizens were very happy and proud, they did not feel as shocked as they did at the beginning.
Instead, they felt very calm.
The box office of "This Man From Earth" was already within their expectations. In fact, some people were actually a little disappointed.
They reported an unrealistic idea.
They hope to see "This Man From Earth" surpass the peak performance of "Your Future Self".
They hope to see Chinese films come up with a blockbuster success!
They don't care even if all the data show that "This Man From Earth" cannot achieve such an incredible result.
After all, YY...
Who doesn’t want to?
But everyone knows that the box office of "This Man From Earth" peaked at 440,000 on the fourth day.
You said it will break out again on the fifth day?
The possibility is very low.
On the fifth day, major theaters have stopped scheduling more screenings of This Man From Earth, and judging from feedback from all sides, the fifth day data is likely to start to decline...
There is no way...
However, when the fifth day's box office results came out, Chinese movie fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Four hundred and thirty thousand!
Although it declined, it didn't decline much.
It is still very strong at over 400,000.
If it remains this strong, the total box office of this movie will have a chance to surpass the global box office of "Your Future Self" of 40 million US dollars.
According to the total box office data, the difference in global box office between the two is only about three million US dollars.
After all, although the overseas box office of "This Man From Earth" did not surpass "Your Future Self", it was unilaterally crushed in China by multiples...
As for the box office of "Your Future Self" on the fifth day?
Well, it has completely dropped to 170,000, and according to the curve, it will drop further tomorrow.
Its potential has been exhausted and there is no longer any reason to support it.
China is vigorous and lasting. Although Hollywood is not as vigorous as China, it is still lasting!
As China languishes and becomes unsuccessful, Hollywood is also gradually becoming unsuccessful...
Three million dollars...
Is this a thing?
It’s no big deal!
Overall, it is only a matter of time before "This Man From Earth" defeats "Your Future Self".
At this time, a very strange news suddenly came out in the Chinese entertainment circle.
That is, director Thomson of "Your Future Self" has taken a fancy to "The Man from Earth" and wants to work with Lu Yuan to shoot a sequel!
It’s about filming "This Man From Earth 2"!
My Ergouzi is awesome!
After seeing this news, all netizens felt a sense of ** again.
The Hollywood director took the initiative to contact Hua Xia and asked for cooperation. He was even willing to pay a large part of the filming cost and was willing to share the box office with Lu Yuan's side!
What does this mean?
It represents a gorgeous and beautiful collaboration, and they are about to flourish to the extreme!
As for Er Gouzi’s response?
Do you think Ergouzi will refuse such a great opportunity?
Definitely not!
However, the following revelations actually shocked everyone.
Lu Yuan refused without saying a word!
What, this is rejected?
After seeing the rejection, most netizens were confused at first, but when a small number of people reacted and guessed that Lu Yuan might want to shoot "This Man From Earth 2" alone, netizens felt that they understood.
Isn't this also in line with Lu Yuan's character of not letting outsiders take away the wealth he has,,
My stuff, my movie, why should I cooperate with you?
Can’t I make money myself?
But……
When Lu Yuan announced on Weibo that he would not film "This Man From Earth 2", netizens could no longer understand what Lu Yuan was thinking...
This operation.
They really can't understand.
He doesn’t take photos, nor does he let others take photos…
What does this mean?
…
"What do you mean? You're not going to make this movie, and you won't authorize us to make it?"
"director……"
"What?"
"Maybe we didn't pay enough... He was hinting at us."
"hint?"
"Yes, let's just do this. We won't talk to him about cooperation. We will talk to him about authorization and raise the price. Didn't the company give us one million dollars? We will just buy it with one million dollars. When we talk to him, we don't think about bargaining. Let's just show him our sincerity!"
"Is this okay?"
"Director, believe me, let's try again!"
"good!"
