Once this image was posted, the entire forum exploded in an instant!
"Hahaha, this plot twist is something!"
"It must hurt to be slapped like that, so embarrassing, haha!"
"6666666666, bro, spot on, what a slap!"
The forum members were all having a blast, while the fans of Yang Haiyang and Liu Feifei in the Three Lifetimes Love Destiny Bar were left speechless after seeing the image. They then started to act like ostriches, pretending that nothing had ever happened!
But obviously, what had happened had happened, and while it may not have been a big deal on the forum, the box office for War Wolf skyrocketed once again! By 6 PM on the third day, War Wolf’s box office had once again broken through 300 million, bringing the total to nearly 900 million for the three days!
Three days and 900 million in box office! That had never happened before in the entire history of Heavenly People’s Republic!
In the next two days, the box office for War Wolf continued its soaring trend and by Friday evening at 6 PM, War Wolf had reached a total box office of 1.4 billion!
Inside the forum, netizens were going crazy!
"Damn, this movie is addictive, I’ve seen it three times and still want more, but now I’m even more concerned about War Wolf’s box office!"
"Same here, Brother Hao is simply invincible, from now on I’m his loyal supporter!"
"The box office has poisoned me, I’m so deep into it! Now, the first thing I do every morning is check the Maoyan Box Office website!"
"Damn you’re not alone, I feel like I’m a spiritual shareholder of War Wolf!"
"Hahahaha, ’spiritual shareholder’ is a good term, I’m one too!"
Everyone in the forum was discussing War Wolf’s box office, as a five-day figure of 1.4 billion was definitely unprecedented in Heavenly People’s Republic cinema!
More and more people began to check the Maoyan Box Office website for War Wolf’s figures, with many even sneaking a peek during meals.
However, clearly, the first five days were just a warm-up, because the real test would be the upcoming weekend!
"Tomorrow’s Saturday, spiritual shareholders, how much do you think War Wolf’s box office will make?"
Below netizens replied—
"At least 600 million, definitely, it made over 300 million each weekday, how could it not make 600 million on the weekend?"
"I think so too, must be 600 million, breaking the global daily box office record is a no-brainer!"
"The movies released these two days are just tragic, utterly tragic!"
"That’s for sure, who can compete when Brother Hao makes a movie!"
Countless people were guessing the War Wolf box office for Saturday.
After all, the daily revenue had reached over 400 million, and with the figures remaining high these days, it was hard to predict how much it would make on Saturday.
In Zhonghai City, inside Buckingham Palace, where the Family Head Bai Haochen lived.
"Little Hao, your War Wolf is really making a splash these past few days." Bai Haochen sat on the sofa, looking at Wang Hao, and the more he looked, the more he liked the young man. To achieve so much from scratch at such a young age was simply unbelievable. Even he, Bai Haochen, felt like he was dreaming when he thought about War Wolf’s box office.
"Uncle Bai, you flatter me," Wang Hao scratched his head with a smile, modestly at first, but then his next sentence revealed his true intentions: "Actually, I think it could be even better..."
Bai Haochen was nearly choked by his own spit!
Fourteen billion in five days and you say it could be better?!
"Yes yes yes, it could be better," fourteen billion and whatever you say is correct! Bai Haochen cursed smilingly: "What a rascal, never serious in your talk. But let’s not talk about this now, tomorrow is Saturday, it’s hard to say what record this movie could break. But, I have a strong feeling it could break the global daily box office record!"
"Oh?" Wang Hao curiously asked, "What’s the global daily box office record?"
"The Universe Warfare series," Bai Yaning explained from the side, "I don’t know how such an oddball like you has grown up without knowing about Hollywood’s Universe Warfare. This series has more than a dozen films, and it was the thirteenth one that set the record for the global daily box office, totaling $89.95 million USD, approximately 600 million yuan."
A daily box office of 600 million yuan!
That record was indeed formidable!
"That high!" Wang Hao widened his eyes: "That’s Hollywood for you, so impressive!"
"Definitely," Bai Haochen nodded with a smile, then added, "Tomorrow, whether or not you can break that record depends on you, good luck!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao flashed a cheeky smile at Bai Yaning—If we break that record, what’s my reward going to be...
As he was contemplating this, a butler hurried in, bowed properly, then said, "Master, tomorrow’s screening schedule has come out. Mr. Wang Hao’s War Wolf has about 80,000 screenings, accounting for 58.6% of the entire domestic market. Three Lives of Love has about 50,000 screenings, taking up 33% of the total."
"So few screenings?" Bai Haochen immediately frowned upon hearing this, stood up, and paced around the living room.
Wang Hao, observing Bai Haochen’s peculiar actions, curiously asked, "Uncle Bai, what’s wrong? Is that a small number of screenings?"
"Indeed it’s not many," Bai Haochen nodded, then sat down and said, "You have to understand that there’s actually a cap on daily box office. With only 58.6% of the screenings, based on the current statistics of all cinema seats nationwide, the maximum box office achievable with this number of screenings is around 550 million yuan. That is to say, unless additional screenings can be arranged, the daily box office record can’t be broken."
What? It can’t be broken?
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao widened his eyes: "550 million yuan can’t break the record?"
"Actually, if I were to use my privilege, I could demand that all cinemas owned by the Bai family screen only War Wolf," Bai Haochen shook his head, "But that would violate the cinema agreements, and the consequences would be severe. After all, if someone were to sue us for maliciously suppressing other films, we would definitely lose."
Indeed, this was a major problem.
