Next up is "Our Youth Time," which ranks third at the box office, with a total box office breaking four hundred million yuan and today’s single-day box office just about making it to one hundred million yuan.
"Our Youth Time" may have a decent box office, but in truth, its share of scheduled screenings has fallen since its opening day.
And here’s a question.
Within a total of a 100% scheduling ratio, happen that the screen share of "Chronicles of Demon Sealing" has seen a large increase.
The screening share of "Super Combat Team" has also soared.
So the question arises, where did this huge increase in scheduling shares come from?
The answer is beyond doubt!
The scheduling share of a movie significantly decreased within just three days!
The film happens to be the one helmed by Director Ma Wenhai, the same Ma who challenged Ding Yue, and looked down on the animated film "Super Combat Team" from Mist City Arts and Science University!
Director Ma’s "Space Fortress" vividly demonstrates what the audience’s definition of humility is!
The resounding failure of "Space Fortress" was something Ding Yue couldn’t have predicted!
Because at the start, Ding Yue had assumed that "Space Fortress" should at least be a worthy piece from a first-tier director like Ma Wenhai, plus it’s a "sci-fi blockbuster" with a young male star who pulls in huge crowds. It seemed to have a good cast!
How could its box office performance be so dismal?
"Space Fortress" crossed the one hundred million mark on its opening day, owing mostly to it commanding nearly forty percent of the day’s screen share.
However, the next day, which was yesterday, major cinema chains nationwide began to downgrade the screen share of "Space Fortress," causing it to dwindle in step, though it still got over one hundred million.
A camel in its death throes is still bigger than a horse!
Today, October 2nd, on the third day of its release, Ding Yue looked at the data for "Space Fortress"!
In fourth place: "Space Fortress", total box office 370 million yuan, today’s box office 81.66 million, screen share 21.6%, attendance rate 31.77%!
Seeing the box office data of Director Ma’s "Space Fortress," Ding Yue couldn’t help but break into deceitful laughter again.
Such a pathetic box office!
Such a pathetic screen share!
And such a pathetic attendance rate!
Ding Yue can now say with one hundred percent certainty that "Space Fortress" has utterly flopped and is probably going to lose its pants.
After all, having invested over three hundred million yuan, at least nine hundred million yuan in box office earnings would be required to break even!
Given the situation today in what should have been the best day for a box office explosion, "Space Fortress" is likely to just barely cross the one hundred million mark.
And after today, it goes without saying that the screen shares of "Space Fortress" are sure to be further compressed, and the final outcome is that from tomorrow, the daily box office won’t be able to cross the hundred million mark anymore, and will only get lower and lower!
This is the typical trajectory of a crummy box-office flop. Ding Yue predicts that the final box office tally for "Space Fortress" will probably be around 600 million yuan!
Which means, Director Ma Wenhai’s so-called "sci-fi blockbuster," "Space Fortress," is probably going to end up incurring a loss of one hundred million yuan!
Investors must want to skin Director Ma Wenhai alive, right?
Thinking of this, Ding Yue can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Director Ma Wenhai. But for some reason, he just can’t muster sympathy, Ding Yue just wants to laugh - hahaha!
Commander Ding remembered a fortress movie from his previous life on Earth. Actually, he felt that Director Ma Wenhai’s version was just a tad better compared to that fortress movie from his previous life on Earth.
Flying the "sci-fi blockbuster" banner, but what was served up to the audience was a pile of crap... of course, the audience wouldn’t buy it!
Ding Yue thought back to when Director Ma Wenhai tagged him, predicting with full confidence that his "Space Fortress" would be the box office champion of the National Holiday Period.
But in just three days, they’ve personified the saying: A swift reversal in fortunes!
