Chapter 98: The Dark Horse's True Color

The box office results of "The Matrix" on Friday, August 7 did not disappoint cinemas or matrix movie studios. The 3,200 cinemas premiered by $15.83 million, leading the box office list... This number says everything. This is a super hit movie that can set off a frenzy.

The box office dark horse work "Blair the Witch" that swept North America in July was no longer the same as August, and the final box office was about 130 million yuan, which is much different from last year's dark horse "The Sixth Sense".

Every time the two movies are called the battle between the old dark horse and the new dark horse, it seems that the old dark horse is more thorough. Moreover, Chen Tiandu, the old dark horse, is no longer satisfied with horror movies. He made a new science fiction movie, which still completely ruined today's new dark horse.

The media that had previously criticized Chen Tian for having only one movie had already stopped. More media reported on this science fiction craze in the film industry, a science fiction masterpiece that was completely different from the "Star Wars" in May.

"Chinese Chen will use his true nature to defeat all doubts," "He directed and acted by himself, who is his template? The future Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood, or Jack Nicholson."... There are countless titles of these, and now no media is stupid enough to sing the opposite tune, and the gossip media also sing hymns and dare not act against it.

Chen Tian was so scared that he was sweating coldly when he saw these titles.

There are many stars who direct and act in Hollywood. Mel Gibson may be able to compare them. Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson are all old celebrities. Putting Chen Tian together with their names is not a fan of theirs. Isn’t this the so-called high-level black guy? I’m afraid this is the case.

The media pages were given to "The Matrix", and "The Deep Sea Mad Shark" released at the same time is not the same as him. The MGM "The Sky Net" and the Global "The Big Scam" released a week earlier were both diverted to different levels of box office.

"Blair the Witch"? It's a month since it was released, and it's time to go offline. The dv movie can't last long, and no one will pay attention to it once the craze has passed. Perhaps in second-tier cities, it can still stagger into the 140 million threshold.

A group of creators traveled to major cities to promote movies.

Chen Tian even refused some announcements from the TV station, so he had to go there by Kate, Lawrence, Hugo and others.

Even so, he finally realized the hard work of publicity. It was completely different from the previous movie "The Sixth Sense" that promoted the low box office. He slept less than five hours a day, but he went to more than a dozen theaters in three cities in a row.

No wonder those big stars always yelled about how hard it was to promote it, and he finally realized it. And as he promoted it along the way, the popularity surged was so obvious. No matter where he walked, there was a burst of cheers. People would rather call him Neo than Christmas.

Nowadays, when people go to the cinema, young people usually go to watch "The Matrix", and only a few viewers go to the disaster film "The Mad Shark". The second week of release, "The Net of the Sky" is only at the same level as "The Mad Shark", and cannot shake the rise of "The Matrix".

"hi, do you like The Matrix?"

This is the promotional event held by Amc Cinema. Chen Tiandu appeared here alone. There was not much publicity, but it still attracted nearly a thousand viewers.

"like!"

There were neat shouts coming from below, most of them were female fans.

"Thanks……"

Under the guidance of the on-site host, Chen Tiandu interacted with many fans. It was nothing more than taking photos, signing, embracing, and answering some questions. After finishing this stop, he rushed to the next scene "never stop".

After repeated this, it was not until the next morning that Chen Tiandu, who had been traveling for a whole day, found a hotel to sleep. He started snoring almost next to the pillow. However, he had not slept for a few hours and was woken up by a phone call. He didn't open his eyes, and he kept touching his hands on the table on the bedside table. Finally, he found his cell phone and barely opened one eye and found that it was Peck who called, "Boss, the box office has also come out today. Do you want to know?"

Chen Tian was speechless. Peck, who has always been known for his seriousness, actually joked with him and said angrily: "Tell me."

Peck excitedly said: "The box office on Saturday is 18.2 million, nearly three million higher than Friday. If we follow the normal analysis of Friday is less than Saturday than Sunday, the premiere results of the weekend may reach about $48 million..."

"Click" Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tian hung up the phone.

My head sank and fell back to the bed.

Previously, Chen Tian was nicknamed "Dark Horse Director" in the media. Now that two consecutive movies have been successful, this nickname seems to be no longer suitable for him. His footsteps in Hollywood have further gained a foothold.

With the success of "The Matrix", Chen Tiandu's number of fans has skyrocketed. Among them, there are many fanatical female fans. There are also several websites built by fans, which specialize in collecting his pictures and information. Whether it is because he is handsome, because he can make money, or other reasons, he has become a role model and idol in the hearts of many peers.

More and more people are paying attention to the movies, and even Wall Street is joining in the fun.

Based on these market trends, a film finance appraiser on Wall Street made a prediction, and he estimated that the global box office of "The Matrix" may eventually exceed about $400 million. Although this box office result is not as good as the wealth brought by "The Sixth Sense", it is better than the long-term success, and the premiere results and the sequel plan seem to be ready.

Soon, the appraiser's prediction was further confirmed. The first weekend screening from August 6 to 9 came to an end, and box office statistics appeared in the early morning of August 9.

The continued rise in reputation actually made the box office of "The Matrix" rise on Sunday, breaking the tradition of Sunday's smaller than Saturday. It only generated a box office of $24.68 million in just one Sunday, and the first three days of the first weekend plus the midnight trial on Thursday, with a cumulative amount of $60.88 million.

This premiere is almost twice that of "The Sixth Sense", and won the box office championship this weekend without any suspense. This weekend's box office championship is also Chen Tiandu's sixth weekly championship.

The opening score of 60.88 million US dollars also set a record for R-level movies.

Chen Tian was relieved when he saw this number. If he remembered correctly, the premiere of the original "The Matrix" seems to have not exceeded 30 million. This shows that his online virus marketing model has received nearly double returns.

When this number is confirmed, the Matrix Film Studio and the Matrix Special Effects Studio cheered.

“It’s a great victory.”

The employees finally don’t have to worry about the “explosive” Chen Tian’s “explosion” after spending all their money, they will face the end of selling to the next one. The success of “The Matrix” at least shows that Chen Tian is a boss that can be relied on. He will not only have a “lucky” “The Sixth Sense”, and there will be more movies in the future. Moreover, this box office result may have a generous bonus at the end of the year.

"Hey, dad~~"

There are too many people paying attention to the box office, but not only the employees who are concerned about their personal pockets, but also relatives and compatriots far away in China.

"Tiandu, has the box office come out? Is it profitable or lose." Chen Yonghe asked in a plain tone, trying to make himself seem indifferent. If the box office loses, he doesn't want to stimulate the child.

Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "The box office for the first weekend is 60.88 million US dollars. You can't lose money, it depends on how much you can earn back."

"Have you made money? That's good, that's good." Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief from her, and then Chen Tian heard the room across the opposite side cheering and discussing.

A smile also spilled out of Chen Tiandu's mouth. The one who cares about you the most is still your relatives.
