Just after the premiere, a large number of movie reviews about "Zombie-Master" appeared on the Internet in North America at midnight.
The vast majority of movie reviews are positive. North American netizens who have watched the movie think that the movie is an excellent comedy & light thriller style movie. It is not that scary and does not try to convey any values to the audience. The truth is, it is an out-and-out drama, a drama that is infinitely loyal to the plot. The director did not include any private goods in this movie, so it seems that this movie is particularly pure.
In addition, the most discussed thing among netizens who have watched the movie is the settings of zombies, ghosts and Taoist priests in this movie. Almost every reader feels that these settings are particularly interesting and worthy of in-depth understanding, and after watching After watching this movie, it will be more interesting to play the Chinese version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online".
In the North American market, movie tickets only cost about US$5-8. For North American people, watching movies can be regarded as the cheapest form of entertainment consumption, so in their eyes, this ticket price is higher than the price of a movie that is similar to theirs. For movies that are about the games we play every day and are full of exotic cultural customs, they are really not worth mentioning.
Because "Zombie-Master" has so many positive reasons, it has a good foundation to soar at the box office.
The next morning in North America, as the film was released across North America, there was a surging wave of zombies!
"Zombie-Master" was officially released in nearly two thousand theaters across North America, and starting from the first show in the morning, the attendance rate exceeded 80%!
North American audiences were deeply affected (Tu) (Du) by "Plants vs. Zombies Online" and flocked to theaters in droves to watch this 18-year-old Hong Kong movie, and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves watching it. Huh.
By noon, Lucas had the latest box office results.
From the midnight premiere to 12:30 noon, the total box office of "Zombie-Master" in the United States was 6.33 million, of which the total box office sold through Muying Ticketing System was 4.7 million 100,000, accounting for just over 70% of the total box office, which greatly exceeded all theater chains' expectations for this movie.
And this is just the beginning.
At 1:30 pm local time, YY released a push in North America with the title: "Zombie-Master", which was praised by North American audiences!
The push briefly described the popularity of the premiere in the early morning, as well as the opinions of the audience and netizens on the film. The editor also specially captured many representative screenshots of the film.
In addition to recommending this movie, the second half of this push also includes a small ticket purchase event with prizes.
The general content of the event is: From now on, if you purchase the movie ticket of "Zombie-Master" in Muying Ticketing System, you will have a 100% chance to enjoy a discount of 1-100% of the ticket price. The discount amount will be displayed immediately after the payment is confirmed. , and then refund the discount amount to the user through PayPal. In other words, for a five-dollar movie ticket, the user will enjoy at least a 5-cent discount after purchasing it through the Muying Ticketing System, and the maximum discount is five dollars. , if users are lucky enough to enjoy a 100% discount, they can watch movies for free.
Li Mu’s request to the technical department is to come up with a set of algorithms, and he is willing to give an additional 10% of the transaction amount back to users, so the reduction amount for most users must be controlled below 5%, and the reduction ratio for a small number of users More than 5%, even up to 100%.
In addition to the immediate discounts, Muying Ticketing System also launched a lottery: from now on, 1,000 users who purchase "Zombie-Master" movie tickets will be randomly selected every day to receive YY virtual coins worth US$100. At the same time, 10 more people will be selected every day and given a luxury fifteen-day tour of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau worth US$6,000. Judging from the current exchange rate and domestic consumption levels, the US$6,000 fifteen-day tour is a standard It is indeed very luxurious.
Originally, this push gave North American users a great temptation, making them eager to go to the cinema to watch this movie from China about Chinese zombies. Coupled with these activities launched by Muying Ticketing System, it made them even more excited. Users’ willingness to watch movies and purchase tickets through Muying’s ticketing system has been fully inspired.
Watching a movie for a few dollars not only offers instant discounts, but also the chance to win various prizes. Most players are now playing "Paradise" and "Plants vs. Online", plus a considerable number of North American users. They are paying users of YY, so the $100 YY virtual currency is still very attractive to them, and the luxury trip to China on the 15th is even more attractive. You can spend money to watch movies and have the chance to win big prizes. , this is the first time such a thing has happened in the entire North American film industry.
And Li Mu doesn't care about the cost at all. The copyright of "Mr. Zombie" itself is as cheap as picking it up for free. He has already made a lot of money just by selling the screening rights to TV stations in China. Now even in North America, he only shares the total box office. 1% is also a net profit, so he is willing to use more profits as rebates to stimulate the film to create better results in the North American market.
Therefore, as soon as the news of this unprecedented promotion came out, Muying Ticketing System immediately ushered in an extremely hot ticket booking boom. In less than an hour, all the movie tickets for all the shows that day were sold out on Muying Ticketing System, which increased Box office revenue of 11.8 million.
So, before three o'clock in the afternoon, the box office results of "Zombie-Master" on its first day in North America were already available, with a total of 18.5 million US dollars!
The entire North American film industry is completely crazy!
Those who have been in the industry for many years never expected that a foreign film made in 1985 could still earn such a high first-day box office in North America. This is simply incredible;
What is also amazing is that the combined power of YY + Muying ticketing system is so powerful in the box office market. This record of selling out all the movie tickets in a short period of time has made Hollywood film companies, as well as all over the world All theater owners in North America were stunned.
What makes them even more stunned is that movie tickets can still be sold like this? ! Random reductions and exemptions and random draws, these methods that have only become popular in the e-commerce field since 2010, are now being used by Li Mu, and the effect is simply instant sales.
Moreover, other theaters cannot imitate this kind of operation because they do not have a animal husbandry ticketing system or an online system. The so-called random deductions and exemptions and random draws will lose coverage and credibility. Therefore, this Only Li Mu can play with things!
The most frightening thing is actually Li Mu’s current influence in the North American film market. His YY users have completely covered all Internet users in the United States. His information delivery capability is outrageously powerful, and the film-related information posted can be immediately posted on another website. A set of products has been implemented, which is the Muying ticketing system.
It uses an article to make the audience interested in a movie, and then throws a link to the user in the article. While the user's interest is at its highest, they can directly go to this link to choose a theater, select a time, Choose your seat, buy your tickets in advance, rush to the theater before the movie starts, and just take your movie tickets from the self-service ticket machine. The whole experience is just seamless.
Harvey Weinstein, a well-known figure in the American film field, wrote on his blog: "Makino Technology now controls North American audiences and North American box office to an unprecedented degree. The whole process is as if Makino Technology's YY has captured you. mouth, and then poured powerful laxatives and cold water into your mouth. The moment you immediately had the urge to poop, Muying Ticketing System moved the toilet in front of you and handed you tissues and newspapers at the same time. ! Please see clearly, what I mean is that the Muying Ticketing System does not take you to the toilet, but directly moves the toilet in front of you, so that you can take off your pants and urinate in the fastest time, like this Service, there is no rival in the film industry..."
Although Harvey Weinstein's words were a bit rude, the truth behind them convinced everyone in the film industry. The disruption brought about by the technological revolution was too great. They did not give users the ability to take powerful laxatives. , let alone the ability to move the toilet in front of users. Even if they have this ability, they can only feed a small number of users to take powerful laxatives and solve toilet problems for a small number of users. However, Makino Technology can sell hundreds of millions or even billions of people around the world at the same time. Netizens provide such "intimate services", and the gap is large enough to swallow everything up.
What's interesting is that Li Mu has now "monopolized" this combo in disguise. First of all, with the current situation in the US market, it is impossible for a second YY to appear, let alone any software to replace YY's position. The importance of Americans is just like the importance of QQ to the Chinese people before WeChat came out. It is irreplaceable. Therefore, no other company has the ability of YY to pour powerful laxatives into users.
Secondly, he has already registered all the patents that can be registered for the "Muying Ticketing System". If someone in the US market also wants to do online ticketing, then it is impossible for him to break through Li Mu's patent barriers. Therefore, if he wants to launch an online ticketing system , will definitely face huge compensation. To put it another way, even if the other party has the mentality of first infringing to make money, and then filing a lawsuit to seek settlement, it will not have an impact on the Muying ticketing system, because there are other people behind the Muying ticketing system. My dear YY, without the support of YY, other online ticketing platforms will definitely struggle in the current competitive situation.
Taking advantage of this combination of punches, Makino Technology has flexed its muscles in the North American film market through "Zombie-Master"!
Before the YY and Muying ticketing systems came into force, the overall attendance rate of "Zombie-Master" remained at around 88%. After the YY+ Muying ticketing system came into force, the attendance rate for all subsequent film shows was an astonishing 100% %!
When those theater owners learned that all the seats for "Zombie-Master" today were sold out, they were immediately overjoyed. You know, the box office split of "Zombie-Master" gave them almost 20% more attendance. It was as high as 100%, which allowed them to earn nearly twice as much money in one fell swoop.
Take a small theater with six auditoriums and 1,000 seats as an example. If 500 seats are used to screen other films, the occupancy rate is about 60%, and each ticket price is US$5, then the total box office for one show will be 500x60 %x5, which is 1,500 US dollars. If they share 30%, then the profit they can earn from 500 seats per session is 450 US dollars;
The remaining 500 seats were allocated to "Zombie-Master". The attendance rate was 100%. With the same ticket price of 5 US dollars, after one show, the total box office was 500x100%x5, which is as much as 2,500 US dollars, and their share ratio From 30% to 50%, these 500 seats brought them US$1,250 in revenue per performance.
Compared with $450, 1250 has almost tripled and tripled!
Realizing this, theater bosses immediately began to increase the number of films scheduled for tomorrow and subsequent "Zombie-Master". They wanted to allocate as many film scheduling resources to "Zombie-Master" as possible.
Moreover, the time point chosen for "Zombie-Master" is really good. There are no movies released at the same time that can beat it. The Matrix 2 has been released for more than half a month and has entered a weak period. "Finding Nemo" is scheduled to On May 30th, "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not be released until the summer. In this case, "Zombie-Master" is like an unstoppable zombie, killing without hesitation throughout the North American movie market. It's like entering a deserted place!
