Chapter 1650: Wolf Warrior 2’s final box office earnings!!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
1.3 billion!
1.5 billion!
1.7 billion!
2 billion!
The box office box earnings grew higher and higher with each passing day!
These days, Wolf Warrior 2 had dominated the global box office champion so much so that Hollywood could hardly breathe anymore. Everyone around the world could only see this Chinese movie putting on a one-man show, and no one could do anything about it.
Challenge it?
How would they mount the challenge!?
There was nothing they had on it at all!
Logically speaking, the ten days after the release of a movie was the best period for the box office earnings to grow. This was because those ten days, which included two weekends, were often the most concentrated period where movie-goers would watch it during. After that, the box office earnings growth will slowly decline. This was a general rule of thumb in the film industry, and no matter how good a movie was, the box office earnings wouldn’t be able to grow exponentially anymore. However, Wolf Warrior 2 broke this rule. Ten days had already passed, but the box office earnings of Wolf Warrior 2 still did not show any signs of weakening. It was as if the movie was on steroids, with the box office results continuing to soar by the day. With every new day, it created history over and over again. No one could see where the end for this movie was as Wolf Warrior 2 continued being unstoppable!
…
America.
Chinatown.
“There’s finally a screening for the movie!”
“We can watch Wolf Warrior 2 already!”
“I’ve already watched it, it was really enjoyable!”
“How blood boiling! Oh my awesome motherland!”
…
France.
“The cinema at the entrance is showing Wolf Warrior 2!”
“What?”
“Come, let’s go and watch it!”
“I was still considering to buy a ticket home to catch it. This is great!”
“Supporting Zhang Ye!”
…
Japan.
At one of the Chinatowns.
“Wolf Warrior 2 is screening now!”
“Even Hollywood is unable to hold down Wolf Warrior!”
“Our Chinese movies are the best!”
“Come on, let’s go and get the tickets! We’re aren’t Chinese if we don’t watch it!”
…
Abroad.
When the cinema chains in many of the countries saw this trend, they started increasing the screening schedule of Wolf Warrior 2.
Some of them added a single session.
Some added two sessions.
Many of the countries were adding more sessions to their screening schedules.
The movie was being shown in a lot of countries.
Although the screening schedules overseas couldn’t compare to the ones in China, although 90% the movie-goers who went to watch Wolf Warrior 2 were all international Chinese students, these small groups added up would still count for something. Furthermore, even if the significance of the overseas markets was different, it still helped to give a boost to Wolf Warrior 2’s box office earnings.
America.
Korea.
England.
Germany.
Canada.
Countless Chinese citizens were headed to the cinemas.
All over the world, the cinemas were ignited by the Wolf Warrior fever!
…
In China.
A lot of people were also caught by surprise.
Director Zhou Zhao’s office.
“Director Zhou.”
“Yes?”
“It’s time that our new movie—”
“Push it back another week.”
“Ah? Delay it again?”
“What else do you suggest then? Do you want to go up against Wolf Warrior 2 at a time like this?”
“Damn, I understand.”
…
At Zhang Ye’s Studio.
Ha Qiqi said in surprise, “It’s already the 11th day now, why are the box office earnings still so high? The screening rate is already at 55%, but the attendance rate per session is still above 30%?”
Zhang Zuo said in shock, “This doesn’t make any sense at all!”
Tong Fu was staring wide-eyed. “Are we headed for 2.5 billion?”
Little Wang exclaimed, “What’s 2.5 billion? We’re targeting 3 billion!”
Zhang Ye smiled. “We may be able to go even higher than that.”
Ha Qiqi said dumbfoundedly, “There’s still a possibility of even higher than that?”
“That’s enough, let’s go.” Zhang Ye had already put on his shirt and packed up. “I just received a publicity opportunity from Central TV. Old Ha, Little Wang, go together with me.”
Little Wang said, “Aren’t you resting today?”
Ha Qiqi also advised, “Yeah, take a rest for a day. No amount is enough if we’re talking about the box office earnings, but I’m just afraid that your body can’t take it anymore. Since we started production on the movie, it has already been two months since you’ve gotten any proper rest.”
Zhang Ye said, “I don’t care about that. When the movie is taken down, I’ll have plenty of time to rest. Right now, we have to make the best of the box office earnings momentum. If we don’t take advantage of that and do more promotions, when are we supposed to do it then? Let me tell you all this first. Actually, the box office performance right now is still far from what I was expecting.”
Wu Yi was taken aback. “Ah?”
“What?” Tong Fu said, widening his eyes.
Little Wang was stunned. “This is still not within your expectations?”
Ha Qiqi said with a sweat, “It’s already at 2 billion RMB!”
Zhang Ye said, “I’ve already said it before, we’re going for a big one this time. We’ve only topped the overall Chinese box office rankings now. Since we’re already at this position, shouldn’t we at least try to aim above that?”
Above that?
Where would that be?
Could he mean the all-time global box office rankings?
…
On Weibo.
The netizens were constantly refreshing the box office earnings.
“It’s at 2.1 billion already!”
“This is too fucking scary!”
“Charge!”
“Go a little higher!”
“Come on, let’s go and watch it for the third time!”
“Motherfucker, this bro has already watched it six times! I can even fucking recite all of the lines in Wolf Warrior 2 backwards now!”
“Kneeling to the godly person who watched it six times!”
“Pfft, all of you are warriors!”
“I’m not doing this for anything except to support our Chinese movie!”
“Yeah, well said!”
“We have never had a Chinese movie to be so proud of before!”
“Let us give our support once more to Zhang Ye!”
“Agreed!”
“Count me in!”
“Send Zhang Ye up onto the altar!”
“Right, send Face-smacking Zhang up onto the altar!”
“It’s at 2.2 billion already! It’s at 2.2 billion already!!”
“Bros and Sis, great showing!”
…
2.3 billion!
2.5 billion!
2.9 billion!
In the following days, Wolf Warrior 2 continued putting on its solo performance!
The entire world was shocked at this!
…
Back at home.
His mother was stunned. “It’s at 3 billion already?”
His father was startled, “It’s really 3 billion!”
His mother said, “This…this has surpassed the previous domestic box office earnings record by three times!”
His father said, “Little Ye has torn a hole in the sky this time!”
…
Several days later.
At Ning Lan’s house.
Several female celebrities were having a gathering.
“Did you all see that?”
“Yeah, saw it.”
“Damn, it’s almost hitting 3.5 billion!”
“It’s not almost, it has already surpassed 3.5 billion a minute ago.”
…
Several days later.
At a directors’ gathering.
“It has reached 4 billion!”
There was an air of silence at the gathering.
“Old Zhou, you haven’t released your movie yet?”
“Not yet.”
“When are you going to start screening it?”
“It’s still to be confirmed. What about you?”
“Me? I’ll wait a while longer as well.”
“Hai, there’s no fucking way we can release any movies at a time like this.”
…
Another few days went by.
At a media outlet.
“It has hit 4.3 billion!”
“This is fucking crazy!”
“Yeah, everyone in the country is going crazy! I’m going crazy too!”
“Wolf Warrior 2’s box office earnings have already started slowing.”
“Yeah, it will be taken off from screening pretty soon as well.”
“I wonder how much it will be at the end.”
…
On the last few days before the movie was to be taken off from screening.
There was a commotion on the internet.
“It’s almost there!”
“It’s at 4.6 billion already!”
“It’s getting closer and closer to the top hundred of all-time box office earnings!”
“There’s really hope for that!”
“Yeah, it’s really just a step away now!”
“Heavens, we might be about to witness a historical moment!”
“Come on, Zhang Ye!”
“Come on, Wolf Warrior 2!”
“It’s all up to you all now!”
“It’s just a step away!”
…
On this day.
Wolf Warrior 2’s screening ended.
There was no extension of the movie’s screening. The Wolf Warrior 2 box office performance in this world was different from that of Zhang Ye’s previous world, and the exchange rate here was also different. Zhang Ye knew that there were many differences between the two worlds, so of course not everything could develop in the same way. Zhang Ye was already very satisfied with this box office performance. This was even a very big surprise to him, and to the whole of China too. Meanwhile, for America, for Hollywood, and for the rest of the world, this was simply a huge shock!
The box office earnings were tabulated!
Wolf Warrior 2’s final box office earnings were: CN¥4.8 billion 1 !
Under the current exchange rates, the box office earnings brought in 738 million USD!
On this day.
All around the world, people were shocked to discover that a new movie had suddenly appeared on the all-time global box office rankings top hundred. It was also the only non-Hollywood movie to ever make it onto the chart!
It was called Wolf Warrior 2.
Its global box office ranking was: #96!
—Wolf Warrior 2 was deified!
—Zhang Ye was deified!
On this day.
The world was shocked!
Hollywood bore this name in mind!
The entire world bore this name in mind!
