Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Amid the praise from the media and film critics, Deadly ID's box office continued to rise. After reaching 13 million in the first week, it was basically at the same level in the second week. Of course, for the first week  Said, it was released for seven days in the second week, which is already considered a small drop. Of course, the magnitude of this drop is not large.

    And this week, Abiadi's adventures and Love to the Deep also saw some declines. The drop in Love to the Deep was relatively large, basically a 40% drop, which also allowed it to drop from No. 1 on the weekly list.  The second movie has become the third one, and The Adventures of Abiadi still dominates the weekly box office this week, but its dominance is not stable, and it is only more than a dozen more than the second-placed Fatal ID.  Of course, this movie has accumulated much more than Fatal ID. Its box office has accumulated to 33 million in two weeks of release. Although this movie travels through a lot of time and space and the scenes are quite large, the cost is also  With only over eight million, the results in two weeks have already made the producer a huge profit of tens of millions.

    Of course, the total box office of Fatal ID in two weeks has reached more than 25 million. In addition to recovering the cost, it has also made nearly 7 million US dollars. A model like Death Video cannot be imitated in a short time.  Yes, a movie can achieve such results within two weeks of normal release, which definitely reflects Yan Xu's directorial skills. There is no trickery in this.

    In the third week, as the film's promotion continued to expand, Fatal ID's decline can be said to be very small. With a box office of 10 million, a 22% drop made Fatal ID a sudden rise in this week, with three  week, with a total box office of 36 million.  It also allowed Yan Xu's film to top the North American box office weekly list for the second time.

    Thirty-six million.  For such a thriller.  It is already a very high box office. After all, this kind of movie is considered a niche movie compared to some action movies and comedies. Now it is a certainty that this movie will make a lot of money. What people are concerned about is this kind of movie.  How far can movies go?

    Although Deadly ID has topped the list, far surpassing Love in the Heart in terms of total box office, and is only just over three million dollars behind Abby's Adventures, this is after all its third week.  .  The weekly box office of tens of millions is not a figure that is difficult for some new films to surpass, so in the fourth week, not only did it fail to maintain its first position, it even fell directly to third place.

    What caused Fatal ID's ranking to drop were two well-known movies. The first one was the sequel to God Is Crazy. Such a funny movie is definitely suitable for all ages. The previous one won the  It grossed 27 million at the box office.  The actor Li Su is a Bushman native, and he doesn't understand numbers other than ten fingers and ten toes. God is also crazy. He only had a salary of three hundred dollars in the first film, but he brought a lot of excitement to the movie.  It brought in tens of millions of dollars at the box office.  And even this three hundred dollars was because he didn't know what it was.  It was blown away by a gust of wind.

    And in this sequel of God is Crazy, he knows a little about what paper money is, and strives for his own salary from the film company, but even so, it is only 80,000 US dollars. Of course, 80,000 US dollars is considered a lot in Africa.  It was a huge sum of money, but although I knew what banknotes were, I had no concept of financial management, and I was not used to using money, so I soon didn¡¯t know whether I had spent it all or lost it.

    As for Li Su, Yan Xu has watched God Is Crazy since he was in elementary school. What impressed him most was a movie shot in Hong Kong called The African Monk. It was a movie narrated by Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengda, and the starring role was a zombie.  Uncle Dao Changying, and the scene of zombies in Africa, the plot of using feet to catch snakes and the most beautiful woman in the tribe accompanying guests are all deeply memorable to Yan Xu.

    Ranked second is one of the longest-known movie series, which is the 16th film in the 007 series License to Kill. It is also the second and last film for Timothy Dutton, the fourth 007 actor.  This is a Zero 07 film, and the successor will be the most handsome 007 Brosnan. This License to Kill is basically the same model as the previous Zero 07 movies. The Bond girl is always the highlight, but it is no longer about preventing some big conspiracy.  , but for revenge.

    As a 007 movie, it has so many fans, and its huge reputation has made it a box office of 25 million upon its release.

    The box office of Yan Xu's Fatal ID in the fourth week was no longer so attractive. The box office of the two films exceeded 25 million. The box office of 7 million directly made the box office of Fatal ID exceed 40 million, reaching 40 million.  Forty-four million, that is to say, in one week, most cinemas will be closed. It is unrealistic to break through 50 million in one week. Of course, some cinemas will continue to screen, but the range is not  It won¡¯t be too big, and basically 80% of the box office revenue will go to the theaters. In the end, maybe the film¡¯s box office will exceed 50 million, but in the future, these will just add some color to the film, maybe?It seems that subsequent screenings will not bring monetary benefits to the Dragon Clan, but in fact it will definitely be of great benefit to the film's global release. It will also attract people if it exceeds 50 million in publicity.

    After five weeks of screening, although the box office of Fatal ID is not as exaggerated as Video of Death, which grossed more than 70 million, and ranked among the top ten in the total box office for the year, it still reached more than 47 million, and  This time, the Dragon Film Company also tried its best to achieve a 50-50 split, which means that after the film was screened for five weeks, the Dragon Film Company could obtain a box office share of more than 23 million yuan, excluding the film  In terms of cost, this Fatal ID will earn a pre-tax profit of nearly 17 million, which is 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a huge profit.

    That is to say, when Fatal ID achieved super high box office in the United States, Yan Xu's last film Death Video also began to make its debut in the world, because this is Yan Xu's film and it has achieved such good results in the United States.  Of course, the first stop is to be released in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong people are not particularly interested in such movies. The total screening total is only 15 million, which is a pretty good result for a film of this type.  This is due to Yan Xu's appeal. What they are paying most attention to is another movie of the Dragon Clan: The Gambler. This movie has achieved good results of 14 million as soon as it was released, and it is expected to exceed 4,000.  It's just a matter of time, it will become the second Dragon movie and the second Hong Kong movie to break 40 million.  (To be continued)
