Chapter 306 Why Is the Box Office Soaring?

After the box office results of the two movies came out on the second day, people in the industry were immediately speechless.

The single-day box office of "300" increased to US$25 million. This result did not exceed many people's expectations. Many people even thought that this box office was a bit low.

This is a big production by Paramount, and it has such a good reputation. It is normal to have such box office results when it is heavily promoted.

But what happens if your 3,000 Warriors box office exceeds one million?

Figure out your identity, you are just a copycat.

Everyone can accept the box office increase of "30,000", and everyone can accept it if it goes to four or five million, and seven or eight million is barely acceptable, but if it breaks one million, it's really a bit of an exaggeration.

Yesterday your box office was only 210,000, but today it jumped five times to 1.1 million.

A bit outrageous.

In the movie discussion forum, insiders are discussing the box office performance of "3000".

"Why did the box office of 3000 Warriors exceed one million?"

"It shouldn't be. This is impossible. This is just a copycat film. The last movie "Atlantic" was so popular that its highest single-day box office was only 500,000. How could Three Thousand Warriors break the 100 mark? Ten thousand."

"The box office of 300 Warriors only increased by less than 20%, but 3000 Warriors increased by 400%. This is unscientific."

"Is there something wrong with the box office statistics?"

"It's impossible. There are many organizations counting the box office. There can be no errors in the box office results. If there were errors, they would have been corrected long ago."

"So the box office of 3,000 Warriors really exceeded one million?"

"Why, give me a reason. Other movies have increased their box office because of their high quality, but 3,000 Warriors is just a trashy movie."

"I think of the original "The Hobbit". The highest single-day box office of this movie was four million. In comparison, it seems normal for the box office of "3000 Warriors" to exceed one million in a single day."

"That's different. "The Age of the Hobbit" is the first time that copycats have appeared. The audience has encountered this situation for the first time. They can't tell the difference between the two movies, so they gave Xu Nan a chance. But this time It’s already the third time, so it’s impossible for the audience to still be confused.”

"Yes, this is already the third copycat movie. The previous two movies had very similar names. This matter became so popular on the Internet, and even spawned a meme. Anyone who has ever surfed the Internet should know it. You know, it’s impossible for the audience to not be able to tell the difference.”

"Then why did the movie's box office suddenly soar? There must be a reason, right?"

"So it's weird."

People in the industry are puzzled, why did this copycat Peng Ping Pian Pian suddenly explode?

Before, everyone was pessimizing, as if copycats were no longer good, but suddenly there was an explosion, which shocked a group of people.

The most important thing is, why is this happening?

Not sure why, this group of insiders can't feel at ease.

A single-day box office of more than one million yuan is nothing compared to other movies, but compared to copycat movies, it can be said to be very amazing.

The cost of this type of movie is notoriously low.

Schneider saw the latest box office results and looked a little confused.

I am happy that the box office of my own movies has increased, but why did the box office of 3000 Warriors, a copycat film, buck the trend and increase as well?

Judging from the magnitude alone, it is even more exaggerated than him.

what happened?

Could it be that he stole the box office of his movie?

Schneider asked the producer sitting next to him: "Is it possible that Three Thousand Warriors stole our box office?"

The producer of 300 Spartans shook his head: "It's unlikely. Once the box office theft is discovered, the consequences will be serious. Moreover, it is just a copycat, and there is no need to set records or raise the stock price." , there is no need to steal the box office."

Schneider nodded slightly. He also felt that it was impossible to steal the box office. The key was that the theaters did not have the motivation to cooperate with Three Thousand Warriors to steal the box office.

Then the question arises, why did the box office of 3000 Warriors increase so much, which is even more outrageous than his 300 Warriors.

An idea flashed in Schneider's mind: "Is it possible that the audience can't tell the difference between "300" and "300"? After the word-of-mouth of our movie "300" spread, the audience became attracted to it. Come, because I didn’t distinguish the movie clearly, I watched it wrongly, and it provided box office for Three Thousand Warriors.”

The producer frowned and thought for a while: "It's unlikely. The fact that the two movies have similar names is so popular on the Internet. Basically, everyone who has been online knows it. How could there be someone who can't tell them apart? It’s clear.”

"This is already the third time. Even a pig should be able to tell the difference."

"And there is so much media popularization, and the company spends so much money on publicity, it's impossible for anyone to not be able to tell the difference."

Schneider thought the same thing. The audience is not stupid. This matter is very popular on the Internet, and there is a joke. In this case, how could anyone not be able to tell the difference?

This shouldn't be the reason.

So what’s the problem?

what is the reason behind the scene?

People in the industry are very confused about this question, Schneider is very confused, and the media is also very confused.

A small gossip media called Knox News, in order to investigate this issue, even sent reporters to squat in front of the theater to investigate why the box office of "3000" was so high.

The reporter's name was Adrian, and he came to the entrance of the theater with his cameraman and assistant.

Coincidentally, at this time, a screening of "The Three Thousand Spartans" ended, and a large number of viewers walked out of the theater.

Adrian ran over quickly and walked up to an audience member randomly: "Excuse me, I'm a reporter from Knox News. Can I ask you a question?"

This spectator was a middle-aged man, a common image of a fat man in the United States. He glanced at the cameraman behind the reporter and nodded slightly.

The reporter asked: "Why did you choose to watch the movie "3000"?"

The obese middle-aged man said in a rough voice: "I heard from a friend that there was a good movie about Sparta recently, so I went to the theater to watch it."

The reporter asked: "Do you think this movie is good?"

The obese middle-aged man shook his head in extreme disappointment: "It's very ugly. The content of the movie is outrageous and nonsensical. Although it is a bit funny, it is not the epic blockbuster I imagined at all. I suspect that my friends are playing tricks on me, because this movie is similar to What he said is simply not true.”

The reporter thought for a while, slowed down his speech, and asked seriously: "Is it possible that you watched the wrong movie? He was talking about "The 300", but you were watching "The 300" warrior??"

"What do you mean?" The obese middle-aged man looked confused.
