Chapter 222 A Super Cop Above Superheroes (Part 3)
Raymond Lam's goal was simple: to create hype and garner votes for Super Captain.
He himself is a Marvel fan, and seeing how much William admired the Dragon movie, he even took Marvel movies off the air for this reason.
If he were younger, he would definitely choose to argue his case.
But he's not as young and impetuous as he used to be, so he chose to show William the truth.
In China, Marvel movies are not afraid of any other movies; this is the result of Marvel's strong reputation and unparalleled strength built up over many years.
So he leaked this information to get Marvel movie fans on his side and to promote Marvel movies.
The goal was to let William know, when the box office results for both sides came out, that his actions and ideas were wrong from the beginning.
The opening day box office is crucial; many films reach their peak on their opening day, but of course, this certainly doesn't include Marvel movies.
Looking at the premiere results is mainly to see if the movie has caused a sensation and response based on the data, and even to guess the subsequent box office performance.
Therefore, Raymond Lam sat in front of the computer early and waited. Soon, the premiere results of the two movies came out.
"Super Captain" grossed 120 million.
This is a very good result. Generally speaking, if the opening weekend grosses over 100 million, the total box office will likely exceed one billion.
"This result, if not surpassing the performance of Dragon's movies, will surely crush Dragon's new movies."
Lin Feng guessed this in his mind and began to check the box office of the movie "Super Cop".
Upon inspection, an expression of "I knew it" appeared on his face. The opening day box office for Super Cop was less than 100 million, only around 60 million.
gap.
This is a clear difference.
That's almost double, or a difference of 60 million.
Lin Feng was overjoyed and couldn't wait to tell William about this surprise.
Oh no, for William, this might not be a surprise, but a shock.
But in the end, he managed to stop himself. After all, it was only the first day, which only meant that Captain America was more entertaining, had more potential, and would have higher box office returns than other superhero movies…
After a month of release, the final box office results for both sides will be finalized, and perhaps then we'll truly see who's right. It's just unknown how big the gap will be at that time.
He felt a sense of anticipation.
On the Internet.
When the first day's box office figures were released, the debate abruptly ended.
Because this is no longer a debate between the two parties, but has become a one-sided mockery by Marvel movies.
"Oh my, didn't you rave about how good Dragon's movie was? How come so few fans actually bought tickets?"
"They just say they support Dragon, and who knows, they might all be the same group of people. Unlike us Marvel fans, we never do empty talk, we always put it into practice."
"Seeing this result, I can only say it's sad, truly sad. The super captain hasn't even had a chance to contribute, and the super cop has already fallen."
"..."
Dragon fans were furious at the sarcastic remarks from Marvel fans.
"A temporary rise or fall doesn't mean anything; Dragon's movies always have a strong impact in the later stages."
"What are you so smug about? You'll see when the dragon overtakes you."
"Come on, the ticket price for Captain Superman is 80 yuan, while the ticket price for Super Cop is only 50 yuan. Isn't it normal for there to be a difference in box office revenue?"
Both sides were sticking to their own stories, neither willing to concede. However, Tianyi's fans were quite unhappy to see that Long's movie had such low box office returns.
After all, Zhou Tianyi is undoubtedly the king of the music industry, so how could they allow him to be ridiculed in the film industry?
Moreover, those who mocked Tianyi all liked foreign films, which made them even more dissatisfied.
Fortunately, on the second day, Super Cop slightly regained some of its advantage, with a box office of 80 million, while Captain America's box office was only 90 million. The gap between the two had narrowed considerably.
This made Tianyi fans and Dragon fans extremely excited, thinking that on the third day, the Dragon movie's daily box office would definitely surpass that of Marvel movies.
However, to their disappointment, they neither surpassed nor lost; both films grossed the same amount, 90 million.
Online, interpretations of the two films have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but due to copyright restrictions, many of these interpretations are essentially a form of alternative publicity.
On the fourth day, the situation suddenly reversed, and no one expected that the movie "Dragon" would instantly gross over 100 million.
On the same day, Captain America's box office was less than 70 million, marking the first time that Super Cop surpassed Captain America to become the box office champion for the day.
On the internet.
"It's over, it's over by a full 30 million! Super Cop is really amazing."
"It's really strange. Everyone else's peak is right at the premiere, but wow, Super Cop's popularity keeps climbing."
"You only see the box office record for that day, but I see the situation for the next few days."
"Hmph, what does it prove if it's just a temporary surpassing?"
"That's right, Captain Super's box office has already surpassed Super Cop's by almost 100 million. It's not going to be that easy to bring it back down."
The joy of Dragon fans indirectly drew the ire of Marvel fans, who poured cold water on the other side's excitement.
If surpassing on the fourth day was just a signal, then surpassing afterward is the trend.
No one expected that in less than a week, Super Cop would surpass Super Rival and take the weekly box office crown, with a lead of 30 million.
Currently, Super Cop has grossed 580 million, while Captain America has grossed only 550 million.
