Chapter 613: Sitting Third and Looking Forward to Second
At one o'clock in the morning, all major platforms released the first box office report for the National Day holiday.

The box office on the first day of the National Day holiday totaled 4.6 million yuan, breaking the first-day box office record of the National Day holiday.

And this data has even been counted since 9 o'clock in the evening on September 30... Coupled with the pre-sales of more than billion for the two seed players, this year's National Day box office can be said to have a great start.

In addition to the special reason of the 70th anniversary, high-quality films are also one of the key factors that attract people to go to the cinema. For super-high-standard works like "The Founding of a Nation", you can almost buy tickets without thinking.

Just as everyone had expected, the three top contenders took away most of the box office revenue - out of the 4.6 million yuan in box office revenue, "The Founding of a Nation" took up nearly 2.1 million yuan, which is almost half of the share.

The second seed "Battlefield Without Gun Smoke" was slightly less impressive, with a box office of around 1.4 million yuan.

The third seed, "Inheritance", took up more than 80 million shares...

Those art films were promoted on various channels for a long time, but in the end, they still only got a few scraps.

This is how the box office battle for popular movies works, the winner takes all!

Fortunately, these art films don’t have high box office requirements, so they can just sell the copyrights to make up for the losses.

At this point, the box office structure of the National Day holiday has been determined in just one night. All other players have been eliminated, leaving only the top three to compete internally.

This is indeed in line with everyone's previous expectations.

On various social media platforms, everyone has basically conceived that this is the final ranking. The players are all very strong, and it would be difficult for anyone to usurp the throne.

However, in the opinion of industry insiders... not necessarily!
The variable lies in "Inheritance".

Its first-day box office was only half of "Gunsmoke", and even less than one-third of "The Founding of a Nation"... It seems that the gap is not small, but in fact, just look at another set of data, and you will find that there is a lot of confusion here.

According to statistics from the first day, "Inheritance" only got 15.8% of the screening share on the first day!
During the same period, "The Founding of a Nation" had a first-day screening share of 37.2%!

The second-place film "Gunsmoke" also got 31.9% of the first-day screening share!

With its screening share less than half of its competitor’s, its box office data exceeds half of its competitor’s...this data is very telling!
If we look at the difference in word-of-mouth between "Inheritance" and "Gunsmoke" on the Internet, the possibility of variables is even greater!
As the first day's box office results are released, the screening schedule will be adjusted starting from the second day.

The first to suffer were definitely the art films that came later, which together accounted for nearly 15% of the screenings, but the final box office summary was horrible...

The original intention was to make money, but for this kind of high-brow stuff that doesn't make money, just go somewhere cooler!

Either the screening schedule will be shortened, or the film will be withdrawn from the schedule. You choose!

These screening shares will naturally be allocated to films with high attendance and good reputation, and in this regard, "Inheritance" is undoubtedly the best candidate.

…………

Early in the morning on National Day, Zhou Hao was waiting in front of the TV.

Let’s put the box office and other things aside for now. How can it be as important as watching the military parade?

Watching the spirited soldiers marching in front of Tiananmen Square, and watching the truth log car and water bombs strolling across the screen, Zhou Hao felt indescribably comfortable all over.

It’s a pleasure to hold the truth in your hands!
It was a pity that the music was not good enough, without the support of "Iron Torrent", the momentum was a little lacking. It was not until he had a big meal after the military parade that he went back to check the box office situation.

Real-time box office statistics are available these days. Although there are certain errors, the error range is controllable and it is not a problem to use it as a rough reference data.

As of two o'clock in the afternoon, the second-day box office of "Inheritance" has exceeded 80 million!

What’s even more terrifying is that the attendance rate has even caught up with “The Founding of a Nation”, leaving “Gunsmoke” far behind!
As everyone expected, major cinema chains have quietly begun to adjust their screening schedules, but the adjustments are not large for the time being.

Almost all the toothpaste squeezed out from art films has been poured into "Inheritance," with its screening share rising from 15.8% yesterday to 16%.

Although the increase is not large, it is undoubtedly a good sign. At least it proves that all major theaters are optimistic about this film!
Once more screening shares are squeezed out in the future, it is likely that "Inheritance" will still take the lion's share, and the box office will likely take off on the spot.

The box office performance is good and the film’s reputation is also very good.

On all major ticketing platforms, the score of "Inheritance" is almost never lower than 9.7!
Moreover, most of the film reviews mentioned the "Poetry" section, which is enough to prove its excellent reputation.

Even on Huaban.com, which was extremely unfriendly to Zhou Hao, this film won full applause with the double debuff of "domestic film" + "main theme", and the film review section was almost full of positive reviews.

“The correct way to open the main melody!”

“Although I don’t really like mainstream movies, I admit that this movie really moved me.”

"It's a bit deliberately sentimental, but after learning about their great achievements back then, I even think the film is too conservative."

"After being bombarded for more than two hours by the movie "The Founding of a Nation", my ears were almost deafened. Looking back at this movie, it is so friendly."

"Alas, if any mainstream film had this quality, we wouldn't be so disgusted by it!"

"In my heart, this is the No. 1 movie in this year's National Day. I won't accept any rebuttal. If you refute it, you are right."

"Champion +1, this kind of story with a breath of life is actually more touching than the bombastic themes next door."

"This movie is good in every way, but there is one fatal flaw - Zhou Hao was only given 25 minutes. I really want to curse."

"It's really a bit outrageous. The other three units are obviously inferior in comparison... Zhou Hao should have been the one to take the lead at that time."

"Seniority is the basis for promotion, and newbies are sidelined. This is a state-owned characteristic."

"Take it slow. After all, this is your first time in this field. It's normal to feel overwhelmed."

"I might as well drive one myself next year, so I don't have to eat in the corner with other people..."

However, it is a bit humorous that despite the continuous praise in the film review area, the petals did not open the score of this film...

I can only say that these guys really hold grudges.

However, this did not have any impact. When I looked at the real-time box office at eight o'clock in the evening, the single-day box office had reached 1.1 million!
Calculating the real-time daily box office so far, "Inheritance" is still in third place, but the runner-up is already in sight.

Because the real-time box office of "Gunsmoke" on the next day was only 1.24 million!
a step far!
