Chapter 674: Chapter 673: Completely Exploded!

The next day, Saturday.

Countless netizens were most concerned about the weekend box office battle, which had begun.

Could War Wolf’s single-day highest box office surpass the global single-day box office champion, US Dollar’s ninety million in Universe Wars?

...

As one of War Wolf movie’s most faithful spiritual shareholders, Wu Tao had gotten out of bed just after midnight and turned on his computer, going straight to the Maoyan Box Office website.

The website’s box office figures had already started refreshing for the new day, and just five minutes past midnight, War Wolf’s presale box office had already reached thirty million!

Absolutely terrifying!

"What are you doing sneaking around instead of sleeping?" Wu Tao’s wife, Little Jiang, angrily said. "Up in the middle of the night and on the internet; who have you got a date with?"

"Mind your own business, I’m checking the box office!" Watching the numbers on the website, Wu Tao excitedly said, "Just five minutes and there’s already thirty million in presale box office. That’s freaking awesome!"

"War Wolf?" Little Jiang, putting on her clothes curiously, came over and looked at the screen. Seeing War Wolf completely outperforming all other movies, she curiously asked, "I have been seeing this movie all over my social media these past few days. Is it really that good? Thirty million in presale box office in just five minutes?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Wu Tao replied. "I told you before how good this movie was, but you didn’t believe me. Do you think everyone in the world is a fool, watching a bad movie? The social media feeds are all talking about this movie, aren’t they?"

"Makes sense," Little Jiang pondered for a moment, then hugged Wu Tao’s neck, saying, "Then do you have anything on today? Let’s go watch it together?"

Seeing his wife, who never watches movies, suddenly wanting to watch one with him, Wu Tao was so excited he almost jumped up!

"Absolutely!" Wu Tao said excitedly. "I’ll book the tickets right now!"

He then grabbed his phone to book the tickets online.

He was stunned the moment he saw the screen!

"Damn," Wu Tao looked at the phone screen. "Look, so many people booking at this hour and the good seats are already taken!"

"Really," Little Jiang, wide-eyed and staring at the phone screen, exclaimed. "What are you waiting for then, hurry up! I want to go see it!"

...

In another ordinary household.

"Are you trying to kill yourself by not sleeping at night?!" Liu Chuang’s dad burst into his son’s bedroom door, roaring, "Go to sleep! Don’t you know you have a blind date tomorrow?! Don’t show up like a panda, I’m telling you, that girl is quite the beauty!"

"Sleep, sleep, I’m going to sleep, okay?!" Liu Chuang shrank and then said, "Ten more minutes, I’ll book the tickets and then go to sleep!"

"What tickets, get on with it!" His dad entered Liu Chuang’s room intending to shut down the computer. "Not even a minute more!"

"Dad, can’t I take that girl to watch a movie tomorrow?!" Liu Chuang pleaded with a mournful face, trying to persuade his dad: "This movie’s really good, all my colleagues have seen it, I won’t be able to keep up with the trends if I don’t go! Besides, what if she has seen it too? What will I say when she brings it up?"

Eh? This excuse is actually so good, I’m at a loss for words!

His dad opened his mouth, suddenly feeling his son had a point.

His social media had been flooded with posts about the movie these past few days, many people saying it was fantastically good. Worth watching for a blind date.

"Is it really that good?" his dad pondered, then said, "Then book one for your mom and me too. We’ll go see it. It’s been over twenty years since we went to the movies."

Hearing this, Liu Chuang’s mouth was grinning so wide he nearly couldn’t close it. "Done, booking now!"

...

This scene was being played out in thousands of households across the country, pulling countless people who had never been to or hadn’t been to a cinema in decades into theaters.

By 9 AM, War Wolf’s presale box office had already reached one hundred eighty million!

All the central seats in every session were fully booked!

Countless people were flooding into cinemas to enjoy two hours of entertainment.

In this world, where the entertainment industry seemed like a desert, War Wolf truly showed people what a great movie really was!

As War Wolf’s box office soared, all the spiritual shareholders were wide-eyed, just waiting for War Wolf to break the global single-day box office record!

At two PM, War Wolf’s box office officially broke three hundred million!

By six PM, it officially broke four hundred million!

Generally speaking, with this pace, by the prime time evening slot, another two hundred million was well assured, but just when the whole country was expecting a new record, discordant voices appeared again!

The Three Lives of Love forum—

"Guys, today I found out that many cinemas secretly changed empty theaters to show War Wolf! This is a direct challenge to us fans! If our idol’s movie doesn’t have any slots, how can there be any box office revenue?! So I call on everyone to buy a ticket for every empty Three Lives of Love showing. This way, because people are watching, the cinemas can’t cancel the shows!"

As soon as this post appeared, the whole forum sprung into action!

"Yes yes yes, we can’t let the cinemas cancel Three Lives of Love’s showings. Fans, it’s time to prove our strength!"

"Guys, a movie ticket is just thirty or forty yuan! Everyone go for it!"

"Fans, act fast, I’ve already bought tickets for six sessions, this should ensure six sessions aren’t cancelled!"

"It’s just a hundred and eighty yuan, right? I’ll sponsor three sessions!"

In no time, countless fans of Yang Haiyang began buying tickets for Three Lives of Love shows. Not many were bought, just one for each sessionessentially ensuring the screenings of Three Lives of Love wouldn’t be cancelled.

Thus, by the end of the day, War Wolf’s overall screenings only reached 59.8 percent, with a total box office of five hundred eighty-two million, just twenty million shy of the global single-day box office record!

When this figure was finally tallied, the entire internet exploded!

"Just twenty million short! I don’t need to say anything; Yang Haiyang and Liu Feifei are blacklist material for life!"

"Especially fans of Yang Haiyang, what a bunch of tumors!"

"So freaking insane; blacklist material for life!"

"Dammit, does any other show have this kind of record? Just twenty million short, damn!"

"The fanatic idol-chasing group is just like a cultinor it’s okay to like a star, but to care about them more than your own responsibilities, isn’t that just stupid?"

"How can someone who does such a thing not be blacklisted? These trash have not only breached the norms of decency but have also sabotaged a great opportunity for competition! Blacklisted for life, no question!"

"Grandma’s, absolutely speechless! But luckily, today is only Saturday, we have another chance tomorrow! All fellow War Wolf spiritual shareholders, let’s rise up tomorrow!"

"For sure! To hell with them!"
