2430 national frenzy
Friday.
“Dear viewers, my name is Derek Silver, and welcome to Fox..”
Hoarse! Just to introduce himself, Derek had to roar with all his strength, releasing all the energy of his voice to ensure that the microphone could successfully complete the sound collection. Even if the camera did not capture the full scene, he could still feel the overwhelming momentum of the scene..
The bustling crowd lined up in an orderly manner, extending out like a long winding dragon, and then circled around in ninety-nine twists and turns, occupying all the open space in the nearby blocks circle after circle, like a huge crowd. The grand gathering of movie fans can’t help but get excited.
“I am currently at the AMC Theater in Times Square, and the long queue standing behind me is the audience who came to queue early, hoping to watch "Jurassic World" as soon as possible. Today, starring Renly Hall 'Jurassic World' has officially landed in major theaters. Starting from the midnight screening, fanatic fans have been eager to take action, surrounding mainstream theaters, showing incredible enthusiasm and excitement.”
At the same time, the helicopter camera was overlooking the entire block from top to bottom. Thick crowds of people were queuing up in an orderly manner. Three nearby blocks had been occupied by enthusiastic movie fans, and the number of movie fans arriving at the scene continued to increase. , no end in sight.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a commercial movie, and it is a commercial movie that has been officially released in the United States - because this work can be seen in all major theaters.！
Universal Pictures has arranged for 4,274 theaters to be released simultaneously, which is only behind "Avengers" three years ago and basically the same as last month's "Avengers 2". It can be called The second largest release in film history, anyone can see this work immediately.
But movie fans and audiences are still in a frenzy. Queues can be seen in all major cities, and New York is just the tip of the iceberg..
Not only Don Quixote, but also those loyal movie fans who grew up with the "Jurassic Park" series have also come out in droves and went to nearby cinemas as soon as possible. Regardless of the quality of the finished product, they just hope Sitting in a movie theater for the first time and reliving memories.
The lively scene even shocked the host of the TV news program.
“According to incomplete statistics, more than 2,500 spectators gathered at the AMC Times Square branch alone. They set up tents and queued up since yesterday just to be the first to buy movie tickets at the IMXA Hall, looking forward to getting the most perfect movie-watching experience. Now this wave is still spreading.”
Derek still completed his news reporting work diligently, but the continuous noise at the scene was so overwhelming that he had to continue to speak at the top of his voice. Less than five minutes into the live broadcast, he could feel it Throat burning and pain.
“I just talked to the theater manager and the movie schedule for 'Jurassic World' has exceeded 45%, but the movie tickets on Friday were still easily sold out. This is the second time since 'Avengers 2' that the movie tickets are still sold out easily. AMC Times Square store achieved such a feat for the second time in just two months.”
Derek took two steps back, moved away, and let the camera record the grand scene behind him..
Ahhhhh！
Ho ho ho！
The audience who were queuing waved and cheered towards the live broadcast camera. The rolling sea of people spread out along the baseline of the camera's field of view. The endless line of people rushed towards the far end of the line of sight, and finally at the end of the line of sight. The street turns around and extends into the next block..
The hurried passers-by who were watching the excitement couldn't help but turn their heads frequently, casting curious glances at such a lively scene..
“Judging from the current situation, 'Jurassic World' is indeed unstoppable in hitting the premiere box office record..”
Derek ended his live report in the simplest but most accurate way, before his voice was completely swallowed by the stormy waves at the scene..
Fox TV station made its fortune in news, and is best at seizing hot topics of current affairs to build momentum for itself. It will even go to any lengths to get news hot spots. As a result, the "eavesdropping scandal" broke out many times in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. But he still remains stubborn to this day.
Although they have a terrible reputation, their news acumen is unquestionable: "Jurassic World" is the latest hot topic they captured keenly.
In addition to New York, Fox TV has set up live broadcast points in 14 other cities across the United States, including large cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle, as well as medium-sized cities with relatively limited populations such as Boston, New Orleans, and Salt Lake City. In addition, Lawrence, Green Bay, Page and other small towns with a permanent population of less than 100,000 are divided into different regions, different sizes, different types and different styles to start live broadcasts.
In this way, the first day of the comprehensive release of "Jurassic World" is presented in an all-round way：
Differences in responses between the East Coast, West Coast and Central China, differences in concern between large cities and small towns, the level of participation in different areas in large cities, the level of concern in areas where different ethnic groups gather in medium-sized cities... and so on. It is not a set of cold data, but a host who truly goes into the living areas of ordinary people and shows the most authentic reactions..
Of course, there are tricks to this kind of sampling survey: nominally, it adds a variety of patterns and categories, but the choice is ultimately in the hands of the TV station, and they can decide what scene they are going to present to convey what message-what exactly is it? Choosing the most crowded area in Times Square or choosing an area with sparse crowds in Long Island makes a huge difference in the "feedback phenomenon" in New York..
Many people, few people; enthusiasm, indifference; positivity, negativity.
These deviations are all possible results of sampling surveys, and their final impact on box office data is completely different. But fortunately, the noisy scene presented by Fox TV station is hinting in all aspects that the entire North American continent is welcoming have a party：
Party for all！
A small reference data. If inflation is taken into account and the box office statistics are readjusted, then "Gone with the Wind" released in 1939 will top the list with a revenue of 1.8 billion US dollars in North America. 1977's "Star Wars" and 1956's "The Sound of Music" ranked second and third respectively..
1993"Jurassic Park" ranked 16th in film history with a revenue of 820 million. Among the movies released after 1993, only "Titanic" and "Avatar" can surpass this work..
what does this mean？
This shows that "Jurassic Park" is definitely the most influential work in the North American market in the past two decades. It breaks geographical restrictions and racial differences, and ignores age and class, truly making all audiences willing to go. Go to the cinema and enjoy the magic of movies on the big screen.
Now that "Jurassic World" has officially landed, the entire North American region has also welcomed it with the highest standards. No wonder the "New Yorker" said in its review, "In addition to 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' that will be released at the end of the year, I'm afraid no movie can effectively compete with dinosaurs.”
It can be seen from Fox TV's fifteen-city linkage that the joy and happiness are shining in the eyes, and the excitement from the heart is truly felt. Even the residents of those remote towns in the central region are more beautiful than those in New York and New York. A big city like Los Angeles is even more excited.
Many people wore "Jurassic Park" T-shirts, dressed up as dinosaurs, and wore dinosaur masks. They seemed to have returned to their childhood overnight and went to watch the movie happily. This sincere enthusiasm and Excitement has exceeded the limits of the movie itself.
After the show aired, people deeply felt the craze of "Jurassic World". The excitement of the premiere and the excitement of media comments were just a warm-up. The first day when the movie officially landed in theaters was the beginning of the carnival. ——On Friday working day, countless movie fans can’t wait to enter the cinema..
No one wants to be late, let alone miss out.
Millennials born after 1993 were completely dumbfounded by such a crazy scene, as if they couldn't believe it. It turned out that their parents and elders also had such a side. The situation was not inferior to the fanaticism about comic book heroes, so much so that I can't help but feel a sense of surprise: "What happened to the dinosaurs?".
The boiling heat wave lasted from the midnight show in the early morning of Friday to the midnight show in the early morning of Saturday, all day long.！
Then, everyone couldn't help but get excited: Under such a wave, what was the first-day box office number of "Jurassic World"? Is it really possible to set a record? Or is it that these popularity booms are just a bubble, and the proportion that actually converts into box office is still too small.？
The focus of tens of millions of people's attention is all on the relationship between exhibitors. They chose to announce the Friday box office data at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning as soon as possible..
Major media, major film companies, and major authoritative self-media are all constantly refreshing website pages, hoping to grab news hot spots. However, due to the large number of people logging in and the refresh frequency being too fast, the website temporarily crashed. The screen went black, and screams of exclamation could be heard throughout North America. Just in the Burbank area of Los Angeles, you could actually hear the shouts coming from all directions..
too real.
Fortunately, the black screen was only temporary, and the website quickly returned to normal. Then the exhibitor relationship did not miss the appointment, and the update was completed in time..
The much-anticipated and eagerly anticipated "Jurassic World" single-day box office figures on Friday are presented in front of us.：
$104 million！
One hundred million, zero, four million.
record, birth！
In the history of North America and the world, the first film to have a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in a single day was officially born.！
