Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 1285 - 687: The Pinnacle of Domestic Sci-Fi? (Subscription Request)

Starting from the second day of the new year.

The box office situation of the most anticipated Spring Festival movies changed.

At first,

Ding Yue thought that Q Entertainment Media’s movie "Demon Sealing," with its huge pre-release promotions and advertisements, would maintain a box office lead for three to five days during the Spring Festival period.

Unexpectedly, after raking in over four hundred million yuan on the first day of the new year alone, the film completely stumbled the next day.

Most crucially,

on the first day, its box office was already overtaken by Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year."

By the second day of the new year, the screen share, attendance, and box office data of Q Entertainment Media’s "Demon Sealing" had all visibly declined.

And rising was Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year"; Mist City Arts and Science University’s "Wandering Earth" also benefitted, with an increase in screen share.

As for Master Zhang’s "National Fortune" and the Xiangjiang’s well-known director Liu Hui’s "Hong Kong Spokesperson," the performance was consistently stable.

Therefore,

on the second day of the new year, the box office was completely dominated by Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year."

No choice.

This "Lucky New Year" truly demonstrated quality, crucially serving as great entertainment for the whole family, a humorous drama with funny actors and plots, becoming the uncontested champion during the Spring Festival Period, hardly a surprise.

Even Ding Yue, after watching "Lucky New Year," thought that this movie might dominate the box office from the start of the second day of the new year until the seventh day.

As expected,

on the second day, due to its family-friendly acclaim, Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year" quickly became a super popular movie in the cinemas, its box office on just that day exceeded five hundred million yuan!

Including the pre-sales from the first day and third day of the new year, Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year" became the first Spring Festival movie to exceed one billion yuan in box office.

With such a strong box office performance, Ding Yue estimated that "Lucky New Year" could at least garner thirty billion yuan, or even more, exceeding forty billion was also not out of the question.

If not for his Mist City Arts and Science University’s "Wandering Earth," Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year" might have set the record for the highest grossing movie in Xia Country.

Ding Yue believed,

his Mist City Arts and Science University’s sci-fi movie "Wandering Earth," may not surpass "Lucky New Year" from the first to the seventh day of the new year, but once "Wandering Earth" gained reputation and spread, he believed the market thereafter would definitely belong to Mist City Arts and Science University’s "Wandering Earth."

On the second day of the new year, "Wandering Earth" had a single-day box office that broke through two hundred million yuan, ultimately reaching two hundred fifty million yuan, pushing its total past four hundred million yuan after including the box office from the first day.

As long as the box office continued to rise daily, Ding Yue knew the potential of "Wandering Earth" was just beginning.

On the third day of the new year.

Comedy Heaven’s "Lucky New Year" still maintained an unstoppable momentum.

And as Liu Hui’s "Hong Kong Spokesperson" gained critical acclaim thanks to its huge Xiangjiang audience, its box office saw a strong rise.

After all, by the third day of the new year, those who wanted to watch "Demon Sealing" had done so, and the same goes for "National Fortune" which, after watching, felt unimpressive.

Then taking a look at the popular movies, "Hong Kong Spokesperson" was not bad, so people went to see "Hong Kong Spokesperson."

As for "Lucky New Year," it gathered even more viewers.

Thus, on the third day of the new year, "Hong Kong Spokesperson" subtly started chasing "Lucky New Year."

What Ding Yue cared about most was still his "Wandering Earth," and on the third day, "Wandering Earth" continued to perform well.

Although its screen share only increased by two percent to twelve percent, its single-day box office had already surpassed three hundred million yuan.

On this day,

many viewers finally discovered the powerful aspect of this "Wandering Earth."

With a lower screen share but high attendance, it achieved a remarkable single-day box office, breaking through three hundred million yuan, while "Lucky New Year" with a thirty-five percent screen share only garnered around five hundred million yuan.

At that time, cinema managers across the country realized that this sci-fi movie "Wandering Earth" seemed very popular.

"Manager Zhao, have you noticed a really impressive piece of data—that ’Wandering Earth’ has low screen share but high attendance and box office? Its potential is really huge, maybe we should tilt more screenings towards ’Wandering Earth’ starting tomorrow and see what happens?"

Managers at Wan Da Cinema began to discuss, preparing on the fourth day of the new year to increase the screen share for "Wandering Earth" while maintaining the popular movie "Lucky New Year."

As for where to squeeze out more screenings for "Wandering Earth," it naturally came from the underperforming movies "National Fortune" and "Demon Sealing" during these days.

What nobody had anticipated was that the first films to drop out were the two aggressively promoted movies "Demon Sealing" and "National Fortune."
