In the early morning of August 10, after the premiere of Interstellar, the entire North American Internet was flooded with this movie.
Many sci-fi fans who have been paying attention to this movie have completely let go of their worries.
The premiere reputation did not collapse!
Most of the critics and guests who attended the premiere praised the film on their Twitter, saying that they had experienced a visual experience comparable to "Avatar".
Wu Yuan brought everyone a very good science fiction story. While the science fiction color was full, he also continued his usual filming style, integrating "emotion" into the film, bringing a movie that was deeply shocking from the visual to the soul!
Although everyone avoided talking about the specific plot of the movie due to the prohibition of spoilers, the various praises for the special effects scenes, shocking perception, and the depth of the story alone are enough to reassure most fans who pay attention to this movie.
It seems that "Interstellar" is a very good movie and it is worth going to the cinema to watch!
After all, an IMAX 3D movie ticket is still not cheap now, it is 3-4 times the price of an ordinary movie ticket!
This kind of "high-end" movie still needs to be sold carefully to avoid blood loss!
Now, since most of the critics and guests who have watched the premiere said that this movie is very good, worth the ticket price or even more than worth it, then everyone can boldly buy movie tickets on the day of the premiere!
The guests may blindly praise the film due to face and personal connections, but the fans believe that the invited critics will not do so.
This is the public trust won by the reputation accumulated by these critics for more than ten years!
Early in the morning of the 10th, countless fans in North America rushed into the nearest movie theater to buy tickets for "Interstellar".
The first choice is of course the IMAX 3D theater. Even if the price is really expensive, after the baptism of "Avatar", almost every North American fan knows how big the gap is between IMAX 3D movies and ordinary movies.
It can be said that it is comparable to the gap between black and white movies and color movies.
If conditions permit, it must be watched The full version of IMAX 3D can maximize the charm of the movie "Interstellar"!
One by one, one by one.
Nearly 4,000 movie theaters across the United States have confirmed that they will release "Interstellar" on the 12th, and they are frantically selling tickets for the three days of "Interstellar" on the 12th, 13th, and 14th.
The tickets for IMAX 3D theaters are the best sellers and are the first to be sold out.
After all, there are only less than 600 IMAX 3D screens in North America at present, and this is an urgent increase after the popularity of "Avatar", otherwise it would only be less than 400 a year ago.
After the tickets for the IMAX 3D theaters were sold out, many fans who did not buy tickets did not hesitate to buy a ticket for the ordinary 3D theater first, intending to have a glimpse first, and then go to watch the IMAX 3D version later!
It has to be said that the consumption power of North American movie fans is indeed the highest in the world.
Of course, not only in North America, in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Russia in Europe, Australia, New Zealand in Oceania, Colombia, Brazil in South America and other countries where the film will be released simultaneously on August 12, the movie tickets for "Interstellar" are also being pre-sold.
Compared with Nolan, who has limited international influence, Wu Yuan's international reputation is very loud!
The pre-sale results of Interstellar three days in advance have already exceeded the box office results of Inception in its first weekend.
On the 11th, Universal, which is responsible for the global distribution of the film, urgently calculated a wave of pre-sold movie tickets and obtained a pre-sale box office of 32 million US dollars in North America and 42 million US dollars in the world!
Universal, which is well versed in publicity, of course immediately threw this data to various media, made special reports on the Internet, and spent money on marketing.
[The pre-sale box office of Interstellar has exceeded 40 million US dollars! ] The entry quickly topped the Twitter hot search list.
"I knew that Daniel would not disappoint us!"
"Hou Lixie! So many people bought tickets for this movie in advance? This is crazy!"
"Is another "Avatar" coming?"
"This week's North American box office champion doesn't have a weekly box office of 40 million, right?"
"This is really crazy news. Maybe I should buy a movie ticket and go see this movie when the time comes?"
"Damn, so many people are going to see this movie? I didn't buy a ticket. When my friends talk about this movie, I can't communicate with them. That's embarrassing. I'll go buy it now!"
"It seems that I have to watch this movie, otherwise I will lose the topic of conversation with my friends."
Universal's promotional means of taking advantage of the situation are very effective. Seeing that so many people have bought tickets for "Interstellar" in advance, some netizens who are afraid that they will not be able to fit in with their friends' topics at that time also choose to follow the trend and buy tickets for this movie.
Things in the world are so strange. When many people are watching the same movie, if you don't watch it, it is an unsociable behavior. Then you can't join the topic of everyone's discussion, and you will be isolated and laughed at.
In this case, even if you may not like the subject matter of this movie, in order to fit in with the group, you will buy a movie ticket to watch this movie.
This is the herd effect!
When "Interstellar" caused a large number of science fiction fans to scramble for tickets for the public release because of its high reputation at the premiere, it has inadvertently formed a phenomenon that swept across the United States!
Of course, there are some people who are deliberately rebellious. The more popular the movie is, the less they want to watch it. They must be unique, but such people are a minority after all.
When the time came to 11 o'clock in the morning on August 11, with only one hour left before the North American release of "Interstellar", the pre-sale box office of this movie had reached 45 million in North America and 67 million US dollars worldwide!
All the movie tickets for the midnight show in all the theaters in the United States that showed "Interstellar" were sold out!
Countless fans who like science fiction and have been paying attention to "Interstellar", or fans of Wu Yuan, or fans and audiences who bought the premiere movie tickets with friends because of the herd mentality, all walked out of their homes at 11 o'clock in the evening and rushed to the cinema!
An unparalleled and wonderful movie feast is waiting for them! (End of this chapter)
