Chapter 366
In fact, thanks to Xu Can's Chinese identity and the flashy performance of the Crimson Typhoon Jaeger, the energy this movie exploded with was even more explosive than in the previous life!
On its opening day in the Huaxia market, it raked in 120 million RMB! Within a week of release, it took 4 【unit unclear】 at the box office! The single-day record even broke 200 million!
In 2009, Xu Can single-handedly kicked off a mecha craze ahead of time!
Even before the film had been in theaters for a full month, toys of the Crimson Typhoon Jaeger had already appeared outside primary and middle schools all over the country,
Yiwu small-commodities market won big790.
Pacific Rim was hot enough that, whether in college or elementary school classrooms,
students of every age were arguing over whether the Crimson Typhoon Jaeger or Gipsy Danger was stronger,
debating every mecha's specs, debating which was more powerful, the Kaiju or Godzilla, debating whether Striker Eureka could take Godzilla;
Even Xu Can hadn't anticipated that the new version of Pacific Rim could generate an even broader impact than in the previous life!
It was just as well — he planned to make Pacific Rim 2 when he had the time, carefully crafting a complete trilogy, instead of the previous life's Pacific Rim 2 fiasco.
The market's reaction was so strong that it also firmed up Xu Can's confidence!
Less than a month after release, Pacific Rim's global box office had already broken 700 million USD! It looked like breaking 1 billion was already a sure thing.
Perhaps at some point in the future, when someone tallies up the films that have broken 1 billion at the global box office, they'll glance up and see nothing but Xu Can productions.
Just as Pacific Rim was harvesting box office, another mega-production Xu Can had been preparing for a long time had already finished post-production!
"That fast? It's done already?"
Even Black Widow Scarlett Johansson couldn't believe it — a movie she starred in had just hit theaters, and now another, even bigger production was about to land on the silver screen!
"Yes, the team under me is all elite — even I'm scared of their efficiency."
Xu Can smiled, full of confidence.
"The film has already passed censorship. If we push the publicity hard, we might just make the Christmas window!"
"But Avatar has the Christmas window — is that okay?"
Black Widow was a little worried; after all, this was James Cameron's sci-fi epic!
Other film companies couldn't wait to steer clear of it — why was Xu Can still stubbornly charging straight at it?
"Avatar?"
Xu Can laughed. Other movies might make him a little nervous, but Avatar — he wasn't nervous at all.
So what if it's a head-on collision? It's not like he can't win!
Originally, Interstellar was expected to go up against Avatar. Now Interstellar has been moved up to the summer window,
so I'm afraid it's rather unfortunate, Old Man Cameron —
your opponent is The Avengers!.
