Hollywood Starts with Animation

Today is the official release day of the animated film "Kung Fu Panda". Once it was launched, it has achieved more than 4,000 theaters in North America. This figure is also the highest among the films released by Water World Animation Company since its establishment. The number of theaters opened.

No!

To be precise, even popular blockbusters such as "300 Spartans", "Spiderman" and "Harry Potter" released by Wald Films have never achieved more than 4,000 theater openings. .

Jin Shuguang broke its own history again!

For a time, the entire Hollywood industry was shocked.

Gusta, the owner of Lionsgate Films: "It's incredible! It's incredible!"

"Who said it wasn't?"

Shay, the boss of New Line Films: "My New Line Films is backed by Warner Corporation and has a much longer history than Wald Films and Wald Distribution. However, we have never acquired 4,000 theaters. The number of openings above. Damn~ They are getting better and better!"

Patrick, one of the three giants of Summit Entertainment, almost dropped his jaw in shock: "Are the theaters crazy? It's just an animated film. It first won the peripheral licensing record of 160 million US dollars, and now it's in the The theaters are so strong, damn it, they are so powerful, how should we small companies deal with themselves?"

Hollywood's second- and third-tier film companies were all shocked. At the same time, even the heads of the six Hollywood giants, Warner, Paramount, and 20th Century Fox Pictures, are now twitching slightly.

This is so shocking!

Michael Eisner, head of Disney: "The most abominable thing is that this schedule is invincible! During the entire schedule, except for "Kung Fu Panda" of Water World Animation, there is not a major production that is worthy of the first battle! This, this , isn’t this going to watch it advance all the way?!”

The film itself is of high quality;

Movie schedule selection is invincible;

Opponent wins weak;

Jinshuguang Entertainment Group is also relentless in terms of publicity and distribution, and has adopted a lot of omni-channel promotion with a lot of money;

Combining various factors, "Kung Fu Panda" completely occupies the right time, place and people!

As expected...

"Definitely choose "Kung Fu Panda"!"

"That's right.

"

"I've just watched the movie that's being shown. Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the production cost... tsk tsk tsk~ there's no one who can fight!"

"I don't care, I'm here for "Kung Fu Panda". Man, don't forget, "Finding Nemo" and "Up" produced by Water World Animation are so good, I believe this movie is also the same It will be bad, after all Mr. Zuke Wald never disappoints!"

On the day "Kung Fu Panda" was released, more than 80% of the audience who went to the cinema to watch the movie chose the film.

As for other movies in theaters...

Ha ha, almost no one cares.

At the same time, the box office results of the midnight show of "Kung Fu Panda" have been released smoothly, as high as 6.2 million US dollars.

$6.2 million?

Don't think too little, this result is already quite excellent, after all, it is the box office result of the midnight show!

An executive from Emperor Entertainment, one of the three major North American theater chains, claimed: "With a box office of $6.2 million at midnight, it can't be ranked in the top 30 in the entire film history."

"In the face of this achievement, some people may have an idea that "Kung Fu Panda" is nothing more than that. However, everyone should not forget that it is an animated film!"

"Among the midnight box office of global animated films, $6.2 million is already the highest in history, breaking the box office record of $4.96 million held by Pixar's "A Bug's Life" and an animated film's midnight box office record!"

"So, this is a very shocking result!"

In the final analysis, the main audience of animated films is from children and minors. To exaggerate a little bit, more than half of its box office is from minors. Do you think this kind of moviegoers will go to the movie theater in the middle of the night?

As soon as the box office results of the midnight show came out, the entertainment media across the United States frantically reported this reality.

["Kung Fu Panda" has an amazing box office at midnight, breaking the record again! 】

[This is a cross-age performance! 】

[Congratulations to Water World Animation Company! Congratulations to Kung Fu Panda! Congratulations Mr. Zucker Wald! 】

 …

The strong follow-up of various media, coupled with the promotion of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group's media power, made the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" even more amazing on the first day of its release!

First-day box office results (Friday): $17 million;

Next day box office results (Saturday): $25 million;

Sunday box office results: $19.5 million;

The box office results of the three days + the box office results of the midnight show reached as high as 67.7 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

Faced with this box office result, what more can I say, of course, it will directly reach the top of the North American box office champion this weekend!

"What about you and me?"

"What do you think I can say?"

"Of course I am amazed, and I wish Water World Animation Company, congratulations to them for achieving excellent box office results again."

—Shay.

This is what Xie Yi, the boss of New Line Films, said in an interview with reporters on Monday morning.

Reporter: "The three-day box office in the first weekend was as high as 67.7 million U.S. dollars, which is indeed quite remarkable. But I clearly remember that last year, the box office of Water World Animation's work "Up" in the first three days of the weekend was a full 81 million U.S. dollars. Excuse me, does this mean that the animation of the water world has regressed?"

regress?

Retire you grandma!

Shay almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot!

"Dude, is this your first day as a reporter?" Shay sulked.

"Well?"

The reporter was dumbfounded.

Xie Yi said coldly: "The question you asked directly made me question your professional ability."

The three-day box office of "Up Around the World" in the first weekend is more and more amazing than that of "Kung Fu Panda", mainly due to the choice of schedule.

"Flying House" is released on the Thanksgiving schedule;

"Kung Fu Panda" was released in September during the off-season;

The schedules of the two are different, so the three-day box office results of the first weekend will naturally have a huge gap!

 …

on Monday.

The "Kung Fu Panda" movie once again scored 10 million US dollars, and the drop did not exceed 50%. For an animated film whose main audience is minors, it is already quite excellent and quite a remarkable result.

Tuesday: $9.1 million;

Wednesday: $8.77 million;

Thursday: $8.6 million;

"Kung Fu Panda" movie was released for a full week, and won a North American box office of 104 million US dollars. As soon as the news came out, the major media wrote a lot about Caici.

At the same time, with the popular release of the movie, the surrounding dolls, key chains, books, clothing of the "Kung Fu Panda" series, including the game of the same name, are all on sale.

$160 million in peripheral licensing fees....

Vested interests of all parties all said: "It's worth it! It's worth it!"

Well-known data collection company Nielsen, its external spokesperson also immediately stated: "According to the box office trend of "Kung Fu Panda", I think the final North American box office of the movie will be around 250 million US dollars. in excess of this amount;”

"At the same time, I also believe that as the movie "Kung Fu Panda" is about to hit the European, Asian, and South American film markets, according to the media capabilities of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group and the distribution capabilities of Wald Distribution, its overseas box office will not be low. "

"It is estimated that the film's global box office has a high probability of exceeding 600 million US dollars!"\u003c/div\u003e
