Chapter 1061 Hot
The next day is Friday, which is still a working day for the vast majority of people.
For the film market, it is not until the afternoon and evening of Friday that the three-day weekend box office begins to explode. As for Friday morning, sorry, it's not quite there yet.
And "Avatar" has many labels such as "Director Li Qian's work", "500 million investment", "3D-IMAX world-leading film technology", as well as Minghu Culture's current powerful and unparalleled distribution capabilities, so that its film scheduling rate It has reached the near extreme that the next movie can achieve—especially in places like Shuntianfu, basically as long as you walk into any movie theater during business hours, there will definitely be "Avatar" showing.
So, in theory, there is no shortage of tickets.
Of course, even so, the two girls still spent a lot of effort in order to grab the movie tickets for the 3D-IMAX version of "Avatar" in the giant screen theater - they came here early in the morning and waited for the Minghu No. The same crazy as a large group of people who got up early to watch the movie, all grabbed 3D-IMAX tickets.
After the high reputation of the premiere ceremony in the United States and the movie viewing experience in advance last night, the unique movie viewing experience and reputation of 3D-IMAX are already in the process of fermenting, but it is not enough for the whole people to snap up.
At 8:25 in the morning, Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei took their tickets, lined up to enter the arena, and finally got the ordinary-looking glasses.
At 8:35, the two little girls entered their first 3D world dumbfounded!
The plot is very familiar, and the pictures are also very familiar, but the experience, the feeling of watching the movie is completely different-it seems that everything on the big screen has come to life!
The strange planet that is clearly visible in front of the line of sight, the peculiar landform of Pandora, the exotic flowers and plants that light up when you clap your hands, the feeling of flying nine days on a big bird...
It is a completely different experience from the normal version I watched yesterday!
Every moment, every moment, this brand-new visual experience is subverting their perception of watching movies in the past few years - 3D, three-dimensional movies, everything looks real, everything is in front of your eyes!
And just when Zhou Yuzhu and Chen Ziwei, as well as all the movie fans sitting in the high-ticket 3D-IMAX and 3D theaters in China, are being shocked by the super visual effects displayed on the big screen, In Japan, where the clock has been set forward by two hours, the audience who got up early in the morning for the first few screenings had already left the screening hall, and their faces were full of shock and satisfaction.
Especially those audiences who were able to watch "Avatar" in Japan's few high-tech exhibition halls and high-end theaters in 3D-IMAX theaters, a wonderful 3D journey lasting more than two and a half hours, The shock and satisfaction on their faces became richer, and it made them almost unable to find the right words to describe such an experience.
But at this moment, in many European countries, it is still late at night, and many early games have just ended.
As for North America, because of the time difference, many people are looking forward to Li Qian's next movie after watching "The Matrix", and many people have seen the 3D-IMAX word-of-mouth after the premiere ceremony of "Avatar" on the Internet. people, but they are still waiting hard for the movie to arrive in advance.
Those who are interested, especially those who have personally attended the premiere of "Avatar" and watched the 3D-IMAX giant screen effect, can already foresee the arrival of a storm at this time.
Even in the eyes of many cinema operators, they seem to be able to perceive the heartbeat of the future 3D era. At this time, some people have even begun to boldly expect that, perhaps, the box office of "Avatar" is really good. Beyond The Matrix.
Even, it is possible to challenge the super record of "Titanic"!
At this time, most of China's online media, including Minghu Culture's soft articles, have begun to collectively advocate the effects of 3D and 3D-IMAX. Of course, there are many other media, especially traditional media. , is still on the sidelines.
This is nothing more than normal, they are always the one behind the sense of smell.
…………
June 14, early morning EST.
00:10.
After checking the tickets, Elizabeth McCullough walked into the remodeled 3D-IMAX theater together with several of her roommates from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.
It was nearly three o'clock in the morning, and several girls walked out of the cinema together with shocked faces, discussing the movie-watching experience just now with great excitement as they walked.
Until everyone took a taxi back to the dormitory of the school, this kind of discussion was still going on enthusiastically, and on the way, they successfully persuaded the taxi driver, who claimed to be Li Qian's die-hard movie fan, and after getting a few beautiful After repeated recommendations from the lady, he resolutely decided that tomorrow he would take a morning off and go to the cinema to watch this movie, and he would also like to watch the 3D-IMAX version.
At four o'clock in the morning, some of the little sisters in the dormitory were typing on the keyboard, eager to share their unique 3D-IMAX viewing experience with netizens this time, and some were still chatting excitedly about this brand new viewing experience. What kind of technological revolution will the film experience bring to future film production.
However, Elizabeth McCullough couldn't help but took out her mobile phone and sent a short message to another number on the far side of the ocean: I watched the 3D-IMAX show ahead of schedule, and like my friends, I was all overwhelmed. That intoxicating movie-watching experience conquered. Humble, you are the king of movies! You are about to spark a revolution in film technology! I admire you!
And at this time, in China, it was already the afternoon of June 14.
On the Internet, the word-of-mouth of "Avatar" has begun to explode.
"The story routines are not new, and even full of old routines. Compared with the innovation and brainstorming of "The Matrix", this movie does not win in terms of the novelty of the story, and it is even very good. It's not as good as it is, but stories should never be considered and evaluated purely from the aspect of novelty. Old-fashioned story routines may not really tell a good story.
Now, I can say that Avatar tells a very good story, even regardless of the shock that any new technology brings us! Even, it can be a textbook for commercial sci-fi movies!
Discussion about the future survival of human beings, the exposure and criticism of human greedy nature, the fascinating outer space and the new planet setting, all of these are told through such a perfect and balanced narration, and developed and produced by Lord Qian. The 3D and 3D-IMAX technology produced for the first time in the world is so truly displayed in front of you and me. Watching the movie for two hours and forty minutes, believe me, it will never be boring!
Especially, be sure to see the 3D version! Preferably the 3D-IMAX version!
If the 3D-IMAX version can bring out 100% of the movie's charm, the 3D version can have about 70%, while the ordinary 2D version may only have 60%.
The ticket price seems to be high, but, believe me, Lord Qian has made a lot of money in his debut for so many years, but he has never cheated us for a penny! This 3D-IMAX ticket is definitely worth the money! "
——A well-known movie blogger on the blog.
"I asked for leave in the morning to watch Lord Qian's "Avatar". Maybe there were not many people watching the movie in the morning. When I went to the movie theater, I was able to buy 3D-IMAX tickets, but it was only at noon, and it was It’s really not cheap, but considering Lord Qian’s repeated recommendation before, saying that it’s best to watch the 3D-IMAX version if you want to watch this movie, so I gritted my teeth and bought it. After watching it, I can say one word: top visual feast !
Brothers, Lord Qian is right, you must watch the 3D-IMAX version! "
——A hot post on a movie forum.
"The movie is great! It's super good! The story, the picture, all aspects, I didn't disappoint! Now, apart from the third part of "Once Upon a Time" and the second part of "The Matrix", I'm looking forward to the sequel of "Avatar" again! To be honest, in my opinion, whether it is the story or the setting, as well as the super picture, it is not inferior to "The Matrix" at all, and it is definitely a good movie not to be missed!
To be able to make this kind of film, I have to say, Lord Qian is really awesome! At least we are the only one among domestic directors, looking at the world, it is absolutely top-notch!
By the way, I didn’t get a 3D ticket. In a small nine-tier city like ours, there is no 3D theater at all, but the first thing I did when I got home after watching the movie was to book a ticket online. Comment, go to Nanchang by car immediately, I'm going to see 3D-IMAX! Brothers who have brushed, here I come! "

If the pre-screening is due to the limited number of screenings and limited crowds, making the film’s super reputation just beginning, then, just one day has passed, and the first day of the film’s global release, that is, June 14th. On the night of the previous day, this kind of word of mouth had already started to rise crazily!
When the day's screenings ended one after another, "Avatar", "3D" and "3D-IMAX" became Internet hits without exception on the Internet all over the world, whether in Japan, China, Europe or North America. Top 3 Search Words!
In less than a day, the popularity of "Avatar" skyrocketed!
And then, the official blog of Minghu Culture officially announced that the domestic box office of "Avatar" on the first day of its release, including the advance show, was 140 million! Among them, the box office of 3D and 3D-IMAX is 10.56 million!
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese box office and Korean box office of the film were announced one after another.
When the time came to the next day, the screenings in North America ended, and the box office of the film’s first day in North America was also announced—there is no doubt that “Avatar” won all the movies that are being screened in the world without exception. Regional box office champion.
On the first day of its release, the global box office of "Avatar" reached 174 million US dollars!
Shock the world!
This is undoubtedly the highest single-day box office in the history of human movies!
When the time came to Saturday, "Avatar", which ushered in the first non-working day, exploded with unbelievably powerful energy-the global single-day box office reached 231 million US dollars!
Come Sunday, this figure dropped slightly, but still exceeded 200 million US dollars, as high as 206 million!
In the three days since its release, the global box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 600 million US dollars!
In just three days, its box office has surpassed 99% of the movies in the world!
This is an unbelievable achievement!
But on the contrary, in the face of such an astonishing box office of the film, whether it is the Internet or traditional media, apart from expressing their own shock, they all express their understanding of such a box office.
At the same time, with the popularity of "Avatar", there are two new movie concepts, "3D" and "3D-IMAX", which have become popular all over the world within a few days!
With the support of the amazing 3D viewing experience brought by "Avatar", such an unfamiliar word and a technology that was not favored by filmmakers in the industry before have suddenly become the world's favorite. It has become a hot topic of discussion, and has become the next development direction of the film industry in the minds of many film critics and film populations—aside from the remodeled screening hall due to the gambling agreement signed with Minghu Culture, after the end of the film's premiere After the weekend's screening, the North American Theater Alliance quickly contacted Minghu Culture, saying that they would discuss with Minghu Culture about the next step of cooperation in 3D technical support and 3D transformation of the theater.
As for the VAM agreement... Seeing that this movie is so popular, especially 3D and 3D-IMAX movie tickets have become hard to find in all theaters around the world that have this kind of screening capability, North America Of course, the theater alliance already knew very well that Minghu Culture won the bet!
However, they will not have the slightest dissatisfaction or disappointment.
Because according to the agreement, although once the data agreed by both parties is reached, the box office share that Columbia, as the film distributor, can get will increase a lot, but such a film has a North American box office of more than 200 million US dollars in just three days of the first weekend, and the global A box office bomb with a box office of more than 600 million U.S. dollars, even if more points are given to Colombia, they will still make a lot of money!
A movie that has sold so well as "Avatar" is not only a feast for the producers and distributors, but also for the theaters!
To this day, recalling the surge of crowds in cinemas caused by big-selling movies such as "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", and "The Matrix" during the hit period, theater operators are still full of emotion of. And now, "Avatar" has shown a trend of selling more than these three movies!
Among them, especially the 3D and 3D-IMAX version of the movie, no matter where it is, tickets are already hard to come by! From time to time, someone even posts on the Internet saying that he deliberately drove hundreds of kilometers to a big city to see the 3D-IMAX version of "Avatar"!
At this time, the theater operators will only regret that the number of movie hall renovations signed in the original gambling agreement is too small!
Because of this "Avatar", 3D has become the existence that all movie audiences are most keen to discuss, and are most willing to dedicate their money to it!
It was at this time, when the time entered the second week of the film's screening, in China, seeing the overwhelming praise for "3D" on the Internet, the famous director Qin Wei couldn't hold back, and finally walked into the cinema.
