Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day.
These three movie schedules were definitely the best time for film producers to make money in a year. No one was willing to let go of such a great opportunity.
At least a dozen movies would be released during this period, and big productions with big stars or famous directors would usually only get about 20% of the screen time. At most, they would get 30%.
It couldn't be helped.
However, on the first day of the movie's release, the audience and the entertainment media found out.
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Pyramid of Light had a 70%, 60%, and 55% screening rate in the movie theaters of Walter, Universal, and Belle, respectively.
This reminded the audience of last year's horror of being dominated by "The Avengers 4."
Even Tang Detective San, which had received the most attention before this, only received about 25% of the screening rate.
And in the uninvested studios such as Belle, it was only a pitiful 10%.
If a big IP like Tang Tan was like this, there was no need to mention those unknown movies.
Some even dropped to a few tenths of a percent.
It was basically telling the producers to wait for death.
All of a sudden, the directors and actors of the movies that were released during the May Day holiday started cursing on social media sites like Weibo.
No matter if it was the theater chain or Dream, they did not let it go.
They all accused them of being unfair.
Su Li, who was soaking in the hot spring in her villa, found it funny.
They were all out to make money, so what fairness?
After getting up from the hot spring, Su Li returned to the large living room and turned on the television.
At this moment, the Yangma Movie Channel was broadcasting a live interview with the audience of the May Day movie.
The beautiful reporter Bing Bing, who was currently the top star of the film, once again revealed a sweet smile to the camera. She said gently,
"This year's May Day episode has ushered in a period where more than a dozen masterpieces compete with each other. However, this is the first time such a screening ratio has appeared after last year's 'Fulian 4'.”
As she spoke, Bing Bing handed the microphone to a theater employee in a suit next to her and asked,
"May I ask why such a distribution is given?"”
The theater staff shrugged."It can't be helped. After all, Yu-Gi-Oh has the best pre-sales. The theater doesn't care which movie is good, as long as it sells well.”
It was very realistic and also very heart-wrenching.
Bing Bing pursed her lips and asked,"Can you tell me how much the box office sales of Yu-Gi-Oh are right now?"”
The theater staff thought for a moment and replied,"Anyway, the pre-sales of our Wangda Studios have already exceeded 1.5 billion. I don't know how the other cinemas are doing.”
The amount that the staff of Wangda Studios casually revealed made the directors and producers of the movies that were released at the same time want to vomit blood.
It was just pre-sales, and Walter's pre-sales alone had already exceeded 1.5 billion.
If we add in the pre-sales of Universal, Belle, and other cinemas, how much would we be able to achieve?
How much would the total box office earnings be after the movie's screening period ended?!
After interviewing the staff, they began interviewing the audience.
Most people were still waiting to enter, but there were also people who had finished watching the midnight show and walked out of the cinema.
"May I ask which movie you guys are watching?”
Bing Bing asked a few young audience members who had just come out of the cinema.
"Of course it's Yu-Gi-Oh, damn, the scene where the king summoned the three Egyptian gods is so cool, and there's also Seahorse's new trump card monster, Green Eyes…" The
young man kept talking. Halfway through, a friend beside him punched him in the stomach and reminded him,
"Hey, hey, hey, don't spoil the story. Be careful not to get killed."”
Another young audience member was more rational. He said,
"I think Yu-Gi-Oh: The Pyramid of Light is definitely excellent. Whether it's the music or the graphics, the only flaw is that the plot is a little short. I'm going to buy five more tickets. I hope I can still get them."”
"You want to watch it five times?" Bing Bing asked curiously.”
The other party shook his head."No, just look at it again. I'm going to use the receipt to exchange for a card. Maybe I can win 87 million."”
As soon as he said that, the other Yu-Gi-Oh fans who had just come out of the movie studio followed suit.
"Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. I'll go too."”
"If I draw a divine card, I have to sell it for 100 million.”
"I won't sell it. I'll leave it to my grandson as a family heirloom…"
Bing Bing was speechless. She was fantasizing about getting rich overnight.
After that, Bing Bing interviewed another couple. She smiled and asked,
"Hello, I saw you guys coming out of the screening hall of 'Detective Tang', right?" What do you guys think?"
The girl said excitedly,"It's very nice. Our Little Haoran is amazing!"”
In contrast to the girl's excitement, the boy returned the possession of Brother Qian and cursed,
"What a disappointment!" What kind of deduction is this! The words didn't match! After watching the movie, all I remember is Masami's figure! "Aiyo, that small waist…"
Just as the man was drooling, the girl next to him wanted to stomp him fiercely. She said angrily,
"Then go find your Changze Yami!" I'm not going to live with you anymore!"
After saying that, the woman left quickly without looking back.
The man hurriedly chased after her."Yanzi! Yanzi! How can I live without you?"
Bing Bing was speechless. Was
this considered an interview accident?
Under the discussion on the Internet about the high popularity of the May Day movie.
The first round of ratings for the May Day movie were given on the movie review websites such as Douban and Tomato.
"Yu-Gi-Oh: Pyramid of Light":8.6 points,
"Tang Tan San":8.8 points,
"Four Seas":7.9 points
... The
movie's ratings would be a little too high on the first day, so it was enough as a reference. Moreover, it was unknown how many of them had earned points.
Su Li only cared about the box office earnings.
Soon, the box office earnings for the first day were out.
Yu-Gi-Oh: 2.2 billion
Tang Tansan: 830 million
Sihai: 230 million
