After the "Battle of the Three Kings" began, the theaters in all major cities of North America, Europe, China, and Japan were in full capacity every day, and the temperature in all screening halls was boiling and hot in this cold winter.

Movie fans and movie people all over the world unconsciously stare at the daily box office report card. Judging from the fact that major bookmakers did not dare to open the "Three Kings" market this time, no one dared to slap the chest and say that they could predict the final result, and could only let the facts speak.

In this war, Chinese movie fans and moviegoers are closely watching the box office numbers of "The Legend of the Great Sage". This time, unlike "Pi" and "Slam Dunk", Li Xiaole sacrificed the cultural aces of India and Japan respectively in the last two times, and both won the global box office mark of one billion. This time, it was his first time to use Chinese themes to appear on the world stage. Once he made a move, he showed China's "national quintessence". All Chinese people have only one wish - to surpass "Slam Dunk" and "Pi"!

This is not just Li Xiaole's personal honor, but everyone also puts their sense of national honor on the achievements of this movie. Whether it is office workers, students, or even those elderly people who don't care about the movie, the first thing every day is to turn on the computer, radio, buy a newspaper and read the entertainment version, which is like the countdown of the Olympics, "The Legend of the Great Sage" every day's box office record!

After winning 160 million in North America three days of its premiere, major Chinese media began to publish daily box office numbers of "The Legend of the Sage" every day with a huge measure.

"Monday earned $16.39 million, ranking fourth in the history of "non-holiday Monday" in film history, second only to the $24.49 million on the fourth day of "The Knight of the Dark Night", 18.14 million on the fourth day of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and Avatar during the same period - even if it ignores holiday factors such as Memorial Day and Independence Day, it can still rank 11th in the history of film history on Monday's single-day results;"

"Tuesday earned $16.09 million, ranking fourth in history in the history of film history in "non-premiere Tuesday", second only to the $20.87 million on the fifth day of "The Night Knight" - even if the premiere factor is ignored, there is only one more "Avengers" in front; and "Avatar" released at the same time 16.75 million~!"

"We received $16.45 million on Wednesday, ranking third in the history of film history in "not premiere Wednesday", second only to the 29.07 million US dollars on the second day of "Transformers 1", and the 18.38 million US dollars on the sixth day of "The Night Knight"; and 17.38 million US dollars on the same period~!"

"The harvest of $10.33 million on Thursday, ranking second in the history of film history on December 31; second only to "Avatar" released at the same time."

"Friday earned $23.55 million, the number one in the box office of all generations on the second Friday after the premiere of film history - even comparing with those works of the week that started on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the $23.55 million it earned on the eighth day of the painting, can still rank 10th in the history of film history in the "New Year on January 1st". At the same time, this data is second only to the $24.78 million of "Avatar" in the same period, ranking high on Friday in the history of film history;"

"Saturday's harvest of $28.55 million, an increase of 21.2% from Friday's; Sunday's harvest of $22.9 million, a decrease of only 19.8%. On the surface, "The Legend of the Great Sage" will be a box office blockbuster that makes full use of the year-end leverages its long-term advantages. Next week's "Snatching Three and Looking Four" is a foregone conclusion. The North American box office review on January 4 is likely to witness the fall of the 300 million level. After Martin Luther King's anniversary, it is not a dream to exceed 400 million. If the new film in January is not successful, "Avatar" will be left to the presidential anniversary schedule on February Valentine's Day, it is very likely to reach 450 million and 500 million..."

These statistics are statistics from USD theaters. They do not seem to include the "abnormal" theater marketing before "Boyant Pi", which makes Indian movie fans extremely angry, but the official Hollywood Major League officials did not respond.

In the past week, in the global market, "The Legend of the Great Sage" caused a big explosion in the box office without any difference, and this movie in China exceeded one billion box office in just eight days!!

Last weekend, it is expected to earn US$175 million in 14,604 screens in 65 countries/regions. On December 31, Black Pearl Company announced that the global box office of "The Legend of the Great Sage" for five days has reached US$251.053697. This result is not only the best this year, but also the second place in non-sequel movies in film history, second only to "Avatar" for the same period.

In 65 countries/regions~ "The Legend of the Sage" and "Avatar" launched an unprecedented box office battle between the two heroes. The two won the championship in 31 and 34 countries respectively. "The Legend of the Sage" Russia's US$20.8 million, France's US$20.3 million, Britain's US$13.61 million, South Korea's US$11.4 million, Australia's US$11.3 million, Spain's US$10.9 million, etc. are all gorgeous and eye-catching.

The first week box office performance of Japan, Italy and other places, which opened for a few days late, is also even more exciting.

Although "Inception" has a hot box office, the movie suffered a loss since it was not released in 3D version. The same number of viewers is nearly one-third less than the box office of "The Legend of the Sage" and "Avatar". This is exactly the case. This movie that everyone is most optimistic about before has become the first team to be transferred to the "Fight of the Three Kings".

Everyone predicts that "The Legend of the Sage" and "Avatar" may eventually surpass the 1.84 billion global harvest of "Titanic", but it is not necessarily realistic to squeeze out the $1.1 billion mark that is jointly affiliated with by the four strong films, "Slam Dunk", "Pi", "Dark Knight" and "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", and rose to the second place in film history, but it is 60% sure.

In Warner's publicity office, the new CEO Kevin Teshura personally attended the discussion meeting and asked the great director Christopher Nolan to immediately produce the "Inception 3D" version, which will be released at the end of the month. The new CEO, who is good at digital distribution strategy, advised earnestly:

"With the same number of viewers, if we lose the box office, then the news on the page will be snatched away by "The Legend of the Sage" and "Avatar", and the gap between us will be bigger as we go."

But Christopher Nolan's answer was very simple. The British gentleman pursed his lips and rejected the proposal on the spot: "Computer images have only two functions. One is to visually deceive the audience, which is what I am trying to do, and the other is to simply spend money to create wonders. I have no interest in this~~

I know you would be very happy if you filmed 3D, but you should understand that my movie does not rely on the shock of a simple big scene, but on the tense plot that is linked together, as well as the audience's sudden realization and the open ending of the end. Although the 3D movie can shock the audience even more from the viewing scene, it also weakens the audience's understanding of the plot logic. It will undoubtedly weaken the plot structure~"

In the face of great artistic changes, conservative artists are always an obstacle that people cannot overcome. No matter how hard the Warner executives are, they cannot change the view of the British film director. In the end, they can only smile bitterly and shake their heads. This is also a crime of war. After all, "Inception" has achieved great success. If it were any time, the producer would celebrate Nolan's champagne... If you blame it, you can only blame the other two opponents for being too dazzling... Li Xiaole and James Cameron are simply monsters~~

No one noticed that when Nolan walked out of the door, his clenched fists did not release until he walked into the toilet. The British gentleman kicked the trash can in the toilet with a fierce kick. People outside the toilet heard a series of curses from inside: "Damn 3D~~! Damn digital photography~~~!!! Go to his damn computer CG!!"

At this time, the amazing box office figures in the first week of "The Legend of the Great Sage" not only made Chinese movie fans fall into complete madness, but also made mainland filmmakers feel bloody and stay up all night excited. You should know that in the past, only Hollywood blockbusters were rampant in China. After so many years, domestic movies have gained a foothold and competed with Hollywood movies in China. However, on the international stage, no Chinese movies have truly achieved the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

No one expected that when Li Xiaole's "The Legend of the Great Sage" was released, there were ten "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" combined, which actually turned Hollywood upside down. This was equivalent to telling all Chinese movies a miraculous fact that as long as Chinese themes can be filmed well, they can also impress every movie fan in the world!! Chinese culture is not inferior to Hollywood!!

This time, "The Legend of the Great Sage" did not use any tricks or speculation to buy box office. It was released publicly step by step all over the world. How much box office will this movie eventually get? Is it 800 million? 1 billion? Or more!?

Open the Internet to see the most realistic reactions of mainland movie fans. Fans on New Year's Day holidays are completely trapped in the charm of "The Legend of the Sage". "This is the real Chinese blockbuster." "How can Li Xiaole call an American director to shoot epic themes!" Such compliments are the most commonly used reviews of various movie fans.

Even Zhou Huanghun, a famous film critic who has been a "Li Xiaole Hei" for 7 years, admired Li Xiaole this time and posted a comment on his blog:

"Since "Heroes", the Chinese film industry has entered a flood of blockbusters, but their editing level is simply like an online writer. They can only make movie stories into paintings, costumes, and scenery displays. They work hard to emptie the wallets of domestic audiences. Once they go abroad, they are embarrassing again and again. I once thought that Chinese filmmakers are going to fall into depravity. Thank God! There is also a Li Xiaole! He truly surpasses all Chinese directors ten levels! Even Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou is far behind him!
