There are two highly anticipated blockbusters on the National Day schedule. One is Jiang Hongru's "Tomorrow's Earth". It is said that this science fiction film is a science fiction blockbuster jointly produced by Lida Pictures and a Hollywood team.
From the director to the actors and technical producers, they are all famous stars!
The second film is "White Gun 2" which was moved to the National Day schedule. This movie is the sequel to "White Gun". The previous "White Gun" received a very good response and was highly praised by the audience. Its box office is in the top ten of the domestic movie box office list. Five, so fans are also looking forward to the second part.
In addition to these two movies, other movies are also worth looking forward to, and the competition in the National Day slot is extremely fierce. Even a Hollywood blockbuster that has been successful at the North American box office was not able to be scheduled for National Day and had to be postponed to compete with Red Letter Pictures' "Breaking the Dimension Wall" at the same time.
There are wolves in front of us and tigers and leopards in the back. This is the situation that Hongxin Pictures is facing now.
Generally, before a movie is released, the director and actors will attend various commercial activities and entertainment programs to promote the movie.
The teams of other movies were like this, only the team of Hong Xin was a little embarrassed. It's not that they don't want to do publicity, but that the high-traffic entertainment media did not cooperate with them in publicity. Instead, they vigorously promoted "Tomorrow Earth" and "White Gun 2". The actors of the two movies even participated in different entertainment projects in batches. The program is promoted.
The crew of "Breaking the Dimensional Wall" was actually let go by the TV station, and in the end they could only participate in some online media promotions, which was better than nothing.
The National Day is coming as scheduled, and the largest groups in China, including student parties and office workers, finally have a chance to relax. Any tourist destination that is somewhat famous is choked by a large number of tourists. In news reports, you can see news about tourist areas being overcrowded and highway traffic jams once every half an hour.
Cinemas all over the country have also ushered in their own little golden period. The movies to be released today have sold out their tickets a few days ago, and there are audiences everywhere.
Pengcheng, a commercial plaza in the center of the city, has just arrived on the first day of National Day. The place is already overcrowded. There is a queue even to get in the elevator, and there is an endless stream of customers.
There are two large movie theaters near this square, and they are now full of guests. Even the most popular movies, today's movie tickets have been sold out in advance.
"I just said today is not a good time to watch a movie. There are too many people!" Su Zhirong adjusted her smart glasses to sunglasses mode, wore a casual plaid shirt and black shorts, held Lu Zixin's hand tightly, and trudged forward among the crowd. .
"It's a holiday, there's nothing we can do." Lu Zixin comforted, "We'll leave after watching. You can go wherever you want."
He came here, firstly, for normal entertainment and watching movies, and secondly, to experience the performance of other movies so that he could make comparisons.
The two booked tickets for "Tomorrow's Earth", a 3D printing hall.
By the time the movie started, the whole place was packed.
Su Zhirong sighed in a low voice: "There are so many people! I watched it, and even the early morning tickets were sold out. I guess this movie has a good box office."
"Of course, this is advertising and star power. Just for the director and stars, many viewers will come to see it. If the quality is good, the box office will definitely not be low." Lu Zixin said.
The movie officially started. Lu Zixin simply turned his smart glasses into 3D mode and started watching. Like him, some people in the movie theater wear Hongxin smart glasses, which have better visual effects than other viewers.
"Tomorrow's Earth" is a disaster-apocalyptic film among science fiction films. In less than five minutes after the opening, the earth has ushered in a global otaku. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, etc. In the face of disasters, social order is broken and human nature is tested.
The protagonist, originally an inconspicuous little character, has a bottom line that he sticks to. Rely on outstanding leadership skills to lead the team through various dangers and successfully reach the safe zone.
The rhythm is tight and the plot is tense and exciting, especially the 3D scenes of disasters, which are quite well done.
While watching the movie, some timid viewers even screamed, obviously emotionally immersed in the movie.
After watching one scene, Lu Zixin felt it was good. Jiang Hongru deserves to be a top director, and his works are indeed impressive. Moreover, its special effects have also changed from the 50-cent special effects of domestic films. A Hollywood team was hired to produce it, and the effect is remarkable.
"It's so wonderful! As expected of Director Jiang!" an audience member sitting next to him exclaimed, "I really want to watch it again!"
"Yes, this ticket is worth buying."
"Cool!"
…
Lu Zixin and Su Zhirong watched two games in a row, and also watched "White Gun 2" together. However, "White Gun 2" was not as exciting as "Tomorrow Earth", and it was a bit suspected of being a piece of cake.
The first day of National Day is over, and the real-time box office was immediately announced.
Ranking first is undoubtedly "Tomorrow Earth", with a box office of 140 million on the first day, a film schedule ratio of 45%, and an attendance rate of nearly 40%.
The second place is "White Gun 2", with a box office of 60 million on the first day, a film schedule ratio of 18%, and an attendance rate of 23%.
Among other movies, there is a comedy that performed well, with a box office of more than 50 million on its first day, and it was considered a dark horse even though there were relatively few movies made.
As soon as this data came out, the media immediately applauded.
The National Film Network immediately published the latest report, writing: "Jiang Hongru has lived up to the expectations of fans and has once again made such a wonderful science fiction blockbuster! According to expectations, "Tomorrow Earth" will successfully enter the billion-dollar box office club!"
"Although the shooting cost of this movie is not low, judging from the current situation, this movie of Lida Pictures is making a lot of money!"
"The follow-up "White Gun 2" is likely to perform well, and its subsequent efforts are still unknown... Overall, competition in the National Day period is still fierce, and it is very likely that there will be two movies with a box office of more than 1 billion!"
In the box office, there is a billion-dollar club. Movies that can reach a box office of one billion can be said to be top-notch works in China! Not a few movies are released in a year.
The day is just the beginning, the competition will become more intense in the next few days, and theaters are constantly adjusting their film schedules based on box office status.
A week has passed and people's holidays have come to an end. Today's National Day movie box office once again broke previous records. As expected, "Tomorrow Earth" exceeded 1 billion in box office, and its release period was directly extended by one month.
However, "White Gun 2" was weak in the later stages, with a box office of more than 300 million in seven days, which is already considered a profit. It will gradually increase the box office, and it is estimated that it will exceed 500 million.
There is also a comedy "I'm Really Poor" that surpassed "White Gun 2", with a box office of 500 million in one week. By the end of the release period, it is estimated that it will also enter the billion club.
These three movies accounted for 85% of the box office and film schedule. For other blockbuster movies, the scheduling rate has plummeted, and when the National Day has just ended and the audience craze has subsided, Hongxin's movie has just been released.
