In fact, the box office exceeded "The Piano Boy Who Want to Fly" and "The Sixth Sense". Now it seems that it is no longer difficult. "The Piano Boy Who Want to Fly" was released on Neon that year and entered the top ten, with a ratio of 1410 million neon coins.
"The Sixth Sense" has become the most popular discourse movie of Neon, with a ratio of only a few hundred million Neon coins.
Now, "Traveler Love" only took seven days to get a ration income of one billion yuan, and it would be easy to exceed those two movies later.
Before "The Traveler in Time and Space" was released on Neon, major domestic media were already guessing what kind of achievements this movie could achieve in Neon.
Because "Traveler Love in Time" has good results in China, the media is also optimistic about the movie's box office performance at Neon and guesses are relatively high.
However, they didn't dare to guess too much. Most of the speculation revenue was between 1.5 billion and 1.8 billion. After all, the neon market is so big, it is not easy to get a higher box office.
Not to mention Chinese-language films, it is difficult for Neon’s films to get high box office in the past two years.
It has been more than six years since 1991.
In the past six years, Neon's country's highest-raised movie ration income was "Red Pig", which was a miracle back then, with a ration income of more than 2.8 billion, which is also the first animated film in Neon's country to win the New Year's Championship.
Following closely behind is "The Climb Cat", released in 1994, with a rationed income of 2.63 billion neon coins.
In the past six years, there were only six films with a rationing income of 2 billion neon coins, and the average annual average is only one.
The six movies are distributed in four years, which means that there are two more years where Neon's domestic film rationing revenue exceeds 2 billion.
Last year, the highest-gross-gross-gross-gross-gross-grossing film in Neon Coins, which had just reached 2 billion Neon Coins.
The second place is "Dancing Love", which has a rationed revenue of 1.6 billion neon coins.
All of the first few are Hollywood movies.
The box office rankings are dominated by Hollywood movies, which is the norm for neon in recent years. The most exaggerated one is the ten movies on the rankings two years ago. Only two movies are from Neon, and the other eight are Hollywood movies.
Anyone who knows the neon film market generally dares not guess the rationing income of "Traveler in Time and Space" too high.
However, after the box office came out in the first seven days, everyone's opinions became different, and everyone raised the forecast box office a lot.
Now the rationing income that everyone guesses has become 2.5 billion Neon coins to 3 billion Neon coins. Many people believe that "Traveler Love in Time" may become the highest-grossing movie in Neon this year except for Hollywood blockbusters, surpassing all Neon domestic movies.
At the same time, many people believe that the emergence of "Traveler Love in Time" has an impact on the box office of the movie in the same year, especially the release time overlaps.
The market is so big, even if it can be bigger, it is limited, so there was a movie with a box office explosion at the same time, and other movies will definitely be affected.
The movie "The Sleeper", which was released on the same day as "The Traveler in Time and Space", was the first to be affected.
"The Sleeper" is a Hollywood movie with a high cost production. Its lineup is very strong. Director Barry Levinson won the 61st Academy Award for Best Director at the 61st Academy Awards and the Golden Bear Award at the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival, and has various award nominations.
In addition to directors, actors are also very famous.
Brad Pitt just won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Globes of American Film and Television last year and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscar.
There are also Kevin Bacon, who has acted in films such as "First Degree Murder", "Apollo 13", and "Assassination of Kennedy", veteran actors Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman.
"The Sleeper" has been highly anticipated since its preparations, but the movie's box office performance in North America was average, with only more than 53 million US dollars.
The production cost of this movie is 50 million US dollars. If it only has the box office in North America, it will definitely be a loss. Therefore, the production company now attaches great importance to the overseas market.
Moreover, the overseas market performed well. Before Neon, several countries had been released. So far, the overseas box office of "The Sleeper" has reached 50 million US dollars, which is almost surpassing the box office in North America. If this continues, they will not be able to make a profit in a long time.
This time, "The Sleeper" was released on Neon, and it was also highly expected. They hoped that the movie could receive more than 1.5 billion Neon coins in Neon.
The goal of 1.5 billion neon coins is not random. They have done many rounds of social surveys to finally obtain this data.
However, what they did not expect was that the schedule would actually collide with "Traveler Love in Time and Space".
"The Sleeper" is scheduled first, and will be decided later in "The Traveler in Time and Space".
After the news of the release of "Space-Love Traveler" was released, "Sleeper" considered whether to push the schedule backwards to avoid head-on collision with "Space-Love Traveler".
But after thinking about it for a long time, they decided not to change the schedule.
Because the schedule is not easy to change.
If you move backwards, you may have to meet "Star Wars Special Edition" in May, and there is also "Paradise Lost" in May.
If you want to push it to June and July, you may encounter "Jurassic Park: The Lost World" and "Evangelion Theater Edition: True For You".
In August, there will be "Life and Death Speed 2: The Sea's Frightening", September, October and later, and you may also encounter movies such as "Independence Day" and "Princess Ghost".
In comparison, "The Sleeper" feels that the impact of "The Traveler in Time and Space" is quite good.
They also evaluated "Traveler in Time and Space", and the result was that the box office of this movie would be very good, but the rationing revenue should not exceed 2 billion neon coins.
Moreover, "Traveler Love in Time and Space" and "Sleeper" are completely different styles of movies. The former is a warm romance film, while the latter is a thriller film, and the conflict will not be too big.
But what they never expected was that after the release of "Traveler in Time and Space" the box office was too hot, which had a super big impact on "The Sleeper".
The box office of "The Sleeper" was actually pretty good on the first weekend. The combined rationing revenue of two days is close to 300 million neon coins.
Although it is not as high as "Traveler Love", they are also satisfied because this achievement has the hope of achieving their target of 1.5 billion ration income.
However, two days later, the box office of "The Sleeper" dropped rapidly.
On Monday, the rationing income of "The Sleeper" was only a pitiful 20 million neon coins.
Tuesday, one thousand five million.
Wednesday, nine million.
Thursday, 8.3 million.
Friday, six and a million.
...
The first seven days combined, which is only more than 220 million, only more than 20% of "Traveler Love in Time and Space". Now let alone the ration income of 1.5 billion yuan, if this continues, it may not be possible to obtain the 300 million yuan ration income.
The target is 1.5 billion, but now 300 million is not necessarily available. The gap between this is too big. The production company and the issuing company on Neon cannot accept it for the time being.
This head-on collision between "Traveler Love" and the Hollywood movie "Sleeper" has just begun and ended.
Although the two movies had no relationship at all, they were inevitably compared because they were released on Neon on the same day.
Before the two movies were released, someone had already compared the data between them.
First of all, of course, the production cost of the two movies is compared.
In terms of cost, the two movies have a huge gap. "The Sleeper" costs 50 million US dollars, while the production cost of "The Traveler in Time" is only more than 3,000 yuan. If converted according to last year's exchange rate, the production cost of "The Sleeper" is close to 14 times that of "The Traveler in Time".
So in terms of production cost, "The Sleeper" won the game completely.
Of course, those who know how to do it know that there is a huge gap in the film market between China and the United States. Although there is a gap in the production costs of the two movies, it is definitely not as big as that on paper.
"The Sleeper" uses a large number of well-known actors, and the actors' pay alone is more than 20 million US dollars. Then, the promotional and distribution expenses are removed, and the funds used for filming are not particularly large.
"Traveler Love in Time and Space" is different, with more than 30 million yuan, and most of the money is spent on the blade.

After comparing the production cost of the movie, then comparing the director.
Needless to say, Levinson, the director of "The Sleeper", has won the Golden Bear Award, the Jury Special Award, and the Oscar Best Director Award...
As for Zhou Yan, the award that he can win so far is the special jury award at the Berlin Film Festival, which Levinson also has.
In addition to the Berlin Film Festival award, Zhou Yan also has an Oscar for Best Soundtrack, but this award seems to be not particularly convincing to the director's identity.
It is worth mentioning that "The Sleeper" was nominated for Best Movie Soundtrack Award at the Academy Awards some time ago.
On paper, the comparison between the two directors is definitely Levinson winning.
But the problem is, this is in neon, not other countries.
In Neon, no matter how many grand prizes Levinson has won, he can't compete with Zhou Yan.
Therefore, this time the director's comparison, Zhou Yan narrowly won in a special way.
After that, it’s better to compare the actors.
The comparison of actors is the same as the director's comparison. Although there are a group of well-known Hollywood actors in "The Sleeper", they are still held back by Zhou Yan and Joey Wong.
After all, Zhou Yan and Joey Wong, one is the No. 1 on the list of the most popular foreign male stars of Neon, and the other is the No. 1 on the list of the most popular foreign female stars of Neon.
Finally, the result was that the two movies were half a dozen, no winner.
However, now it seems that the comparison at that time is completely meaningless.
The current situation is, on the one hand, the Neon people do like Zhou Yan and are willing to go to the cinema for him.
On the other hand, the movie "Traveler Love" does suit the taste of Neon fans. At least compared with "Sleeper", Neon fans prefer to watch it.
Interestingly, many viewers have watched "Traveler in Time and Space" and "Sleeper" in the cinema, and they all believe that the production level of the former is greater than that of the latter.
Although "Traveler Love in Time and Space" doesn't cost much money, it is well-made.
What is excellent production? The first thing is the picture. There is no need to compare it with other Chinese movies. "Traveler Love in Time" is more pictures than many Hollywood drama movies, and at least it can reach the average level.
Apart from the picture, there is the sound. The sound production of "Traveler Love in Time and Space" is not a little bit better than "The Sleeper".
Both of these points are dominant, not to mention the use of a lot of original music.
The day after the premiere of "The Traveler in Time", Ken Kobayashi, a well-known Neon film critic, published a review article, praising the movie without hesitation, and praised "The Traveler in Time" almost from beginning to end.
On the second day after "The Sleeper", Ken Kobayashi also posted a review article.
He did not give "The Sleeper" a low score. On the contrary, he thought "The Sleeper" was a pretty good movie that could give seven points.
However, as a Hollywood movie directed by the Golden Bear Awards, if you don’t mention the genre, it was crushed by "Traveler in Time and Space", which is a bit disappointing.
Of course, Ken Kobayashi also helped "The Sleeper" to find a few sentences.
He believes that the reason why "Space-Time Traveler" can achieve such quality at such a low cost is mainly because of Zhou Yan.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the soundtrack of this movie.
If "The Sleeper" wants to have a soundtrack of the same level as "The Traveler in Time and Space", the production cost will probably increase by at least 10%.
In fact, these amazing soundtracks are not something that money can buy.
At the same time, Zhou Yan solved not only the soundtrack problem, but also the screenwriter.
Not to mention whether you can buy the script of "Traveler in Time and Space", even if it is circulated on the market, it would cost millions of dollars to obtain such a script.
Most of the money is not included in the production cost.
In other words, the production cost of "Traveler Love in Time and Space" is actually fake.
If all these costs are converted into production costs in the United States, most movies cannot afford it.
...
After "The Sleeper" was defeated, there was no rival to "The Traveler in Time and Space" in the market at the same time.
On the second weekend of the movie's release, the box office of "Traveler Love" fell in reverse, and the rationing revenue for two days on the weekend reached 320 million Neon coins, which exceeded the data of "The Sixth Sense" on Neon's first three days.
At this point, "Traveler Love in Time and Space" was released on Neon for nine days, and the rationing income exceeded 1.3 billion Neon coins.
"The Sleeper" originally hoped that the box office would rebound in the second weekend, but in two days it would add up to less than 10 million in rationing income. (This chapter ends)
