Chapter 69: Xu Can Makes a Name at Home! Appearing on SNL with Taylor Swift!
China Film Group, Chairman's office.
"Han-ye, the theater chains below can't hold it back anymore — they've all voluntarily added more screenings for *Spider-Man* on their own."
"How's the box office?"
"Opening day was 15 million, on par with the *Huang Jinjia* preview… but on the second day it broke the single-day record, and the opening-weekend record is probably…"
"Mm, I understand."
*Huang Jinjia*'s opening weekend was 96 million yuan, setting a new mainland film record.
Looks like this *Spider-Man* is coming on like a storm — worthy of being the monster that broke a billion at the global box office!
In just over a month, *Spider-Man* has already broken through the 1-billion-dollar Daguan, surpassing *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers*, *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, and *Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest*!
For now it sits at No. 4 on the all-time box-office chart, trailing only *Titanic*, *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*, and *The Lion King*!
It's within a hair's breadth of *The Lion King*'s $1.08 billion!
Adding in the mainland market and the Japanese and Korean markets, it seems only a matter of time before *Spider-Man* breaks into the top three at the box office!
"Enough — let the market run normally. It's just one film from him; it can't stir up much."
"Understood, then let's leave it at that for now."
The momentum of *Spider-Man* cannot be stopped; Xu Can has already lost control of the suppression.
They could only pin their hopes on Xu Can's Chinese identity, that he wouldn't be able to achieve better results in Hollywood.
After all, Hollywood's exclusion of Asians is obvious — it never gives Asians positive roles.
