That's right, the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in 620 theaters in the UK, made a box office of 8.49 million pounds on the day of its premiere, which was equivalent to 12 million dollars.

It doesn't seem to be high~

On the day of its premiere in the United States, the "Spider-Man" movie earned more than $40 million at the box office.

but!

You know, this is a small British Isles!

At the box office on the premiere day of £8.49 million, it was already the top box office champion in the whole year of 2000!

"The Times" immediately issued an article saying: ""Harry Potter" at the box office of 8.49 million pounds on the first day, ranked first in the box office of 2000. Throughout the history of British film box office, it is second only to the "Lion" released in 1995. "The King" and "Titanic" released in 1998, ranked No. 3 on the box office chart of Movie History Day!"

"On the daily box office, it surpassed the "Star Wars Prequel 1" released in 1999, "Toy Story 2" released in early 2000, and "Six Heroes of the Pig" released in 1997... ."

The whole article sings praises to "Harry Potter".

Similarly, other local media colleagues in the UK were unwilling to be lonely and wrote articles and published them one after another.

"British Mirror" published an article: "The Harry Potter movie is expected to become the UK box office champion in 2000!"

"The Sun" published an article: "The box office of "Harry Potter" on the first day reached 8.49 million pounds, and its box office in the first three days of the first weekend must exceed 20 million pounds. The box office results of these three days alone are enough to make it into the UK box office this year. The top 5 of the leaderboard."

Top 5 in the leaderboard?

you do not say!

As of December 9th, the top 5 UK box office rankings in 2000 were:

1. "Toy Story 2", £44.3 million;

2. "Gladiator", £31.2 million;

3. "Little Chicken Run", £29.5 million;

4. "American Beauty", 21 million pounds;

5. "Out of My World", 18.3 million pounds;

Take another look at the "Harry Potter" movie. The box office on the first day alone was as high as 8.49 million pounds. In the next two days, its box office harvest will never be low. The cumulative box office in three days will exceed 20 million pounds, which is definitely a breeze.

In three days, it achieved a high box office that many movies could not get in half a year!

British media rushed to report, British film audiences were eagerly sought after, and local film colleagues in the UK collectively lost their voices...

All of it shocked many people!

Hollywood studios, that is even more sore!

"My God, there is no end!"

Harvey Weinstein, President of Miramax Pictures, was astonished when he heard the news: "First, "Spider-Man" had a global box office of more than 900 million U.S. dollars, and now "Harry Potter" turned out. Born? Why, Zhuke Wald is everywhere?!"

Shay, the owner of New Line Pictures, is jealous.

Patrick, one of the top three of Summit Entertainment, exclaimed: "Fortunately, our "Red Maple Family" movie was withdrawn from the UK in time, otherwise there would be no temper at all to be crushed."

Barry Meyer of Warner raised his brow and exclaimed, "He has dug another gold mine!"

My colleagues in Hollywood were shocked.

but!

More Hollywood studios, after being shocked, smelled the coming of a big war.

"Awesome~"

Lionsgate’s boss Gusta laughed and laughed: “Originally this Christmas schedule, I thought I would still want to be as boring as in previous years. I still watch the Big Six in Hollywood fighting, ha ha, but this year is estimated to be different~”

""Harry Potter" premiered in the UK and achieved such excellent results, so the top six guys in Hollywood, it is estimated that they will panic now!"

In fact, it is exactly the same!

Warner Bros. Pictures, because of its own reasons, withdrew from the competition for this Christmas period early and was unable to fight for the top spot. However...Several giant companies such as Disney and Universal have never given up fighting for the first place.

Paramount Pictures.

"No!"

"Absolutely not, we cannot let Wald Pictures rise again..."

"Harry Potter can make a big box office explosion in the UK, so it can also make a big box office explosion in the United States."

"We were also able to suppress Wald Pictures in both the media and theaters."

"But, what about now?"

"It won't be long before the greedy cinema and the media reporters who are like a wall of grass, the cocktail party will turn to Wald Pictures. Then, what will we stop?!"

President Shirley Lansing looked solemn.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was almost dripping.

at the same time.

Golden Shuguang Entertainment Group.

Zhu Ke also got the box office data immediately. Well, to be precise, Zhu Ke received the news earlier than many people.

"Good job!"

Zhuke laughed and said: "It seems that Old Bill's decision is correct! It is true that the family is as old as a treasure. Old Bill's decades of Hollywood experience is one of our company's most valuable assets."

Alexander on the side also laughed and said: "I just got news from Mr. McNick that the major mainstream cinema chains in the UK will increase the schedule of "Harry Potter". It is estimated that the number of movie theaters will be released today from 620. To 800."

Add 180 cinemas?

Don't be too little!

The number of 620 theaters on the day of the premiere of "Harry Potter" already accounted for 35% of the day in the United Kingdom. Now there are 180 more theaters, and the total number of movies has increased to 47%, nearly half.

.......

A few days later.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the British film market, three days in the first weekend, made a box office of 28.75 million US dollars.

The box office performance of these three days alone is enough to become the 4th place in the UK annual box office rankings in 2000, and it is only a few hundred thousand pounds less than the 3rd "Chicken Run" movie.

Fire!

It's completely hot!
