magic ranch

Chapter 816 premiere week

Facts have proved that Comrade Liu is indeed a bit of a cheater.He also saw his "wonderful acting skills" that night, which was quite embarrassing on the screen.

Of course, the overall effect of this film is still very good. Later, people discussed and ridiculed his acting skills more.It has also become a small trend. Basically, after everyone expresses his opinion, he will bring a comment on his acting skills.

In fact, his performance is not that bad, but compared with the performance of Alex and those small animals, it is much worse.They all acted in their true colors, without any trace of acting.

The average attendance was 43 percent on the first day of release, and slightly higher at 57 percent on the second day.The last day of cooperation with these small theaters was better, reaching 85%.

Don't look at the situation that it is not full, but it is already very high to have such an attendance rate.After all, this is not a metropolis, and the population is small. Even if some people from nearby cities come to visit, the number is limited.

The first good news is that these small theaters directly contacted Suzanne to extend the release period, and the box office share for Liu Heming can be 75%.

For these small theaters, this is an unprecedented high share.It is precisely because they are also very optimistic about the future performance of this film that they dare to give such a discount.

For a small theater like them, the share of the box office is still very important. Otherwise, when Suzanne approached them to talk, they would have agreed so easily.

The second good news broke out on the fourth day.

Because after three days of screening, the attendance rate of these small theaters all exceeded 90% on the fourth day.And on the Internet, this small tide of movie watching has also started to make waves.

This is really a trend, a trend that is rolling in as Suzanne originally expected, and it is also a trend that Liu Heming and the others don't need to continue to invest in at all.

This stems from people's enthusiasm for watching movies on the Internet, which is too high, especially those friends who live in the metropolis, who feel the little pain of living in the metropolis for the first time.

Why can such a good film only be seen in towns?Isn't it usually shown in the big cities first, and then to the remote areas?Why is it the other way around this time?

The comments on the Internet will be more or less intense, and many of these people who want to watch this movie buy tickets on the website of the theater chain.

Then these big theaters couldn't sit still, and they didn't expect to lose their eyes when they were reviewing the film.Such a seemingly bland film without too much passion has been well received.

Suzanne got busy and kept calling.Although the pre-booking plan is to wait for these theaters to cry and beg for release before cooperating with them.But when these theaters really come to you, you can't be too arrogant.

Suzanne insists on the principle of high box office share, if you want to show it at your place, we will get 90% of the box office share in the first half month.Then reduce it by 10% every week until it reaches 50%.

This share ratio is not low, only those super blockbusters can enjoy this kind of treatment.Otherwise, even if these big theater chains don’t pay much attention to the box office, for these independent films with no foundation, it is already very good to be able to give 60% of the box office share in the first week.

On December 2016, 12, the film "Glamour Girl" landed in major theaters across the United States, and the total number of screens given by these theaters was 30.

Although these theaters want to make money on this film, everyone is still relatively conservative. The number of new screens is not high, only 1861 yuan.It was a little different from Susanna's expectations, but Liu Heming was already very satisfied.

The box office on the premiere day also made Liu Heming very satisfied, reaching 300 million, just behind "Rogue One" and ahead of "The Voice of Joy", ranking second.

On December 12, another 31 yuan screen was added, and the total number of screens has reached 700.This day's box office was even more beautiful, reaching 4026 million, directly doubling the previous day's box office.

Based on the box office of these two days, more than half of Comrade Liu's investment in this film has been recovered.It also made him realize for the first time that movies can really make money like this.

On the third day of full release, the total number of screens decreased to 3725.But the box office grew again, reaching $900 million.

In fact, the number of screens added is large, and the ones lost are in the rural areas where the film was originally shown.Now that it is released nationwide, not many people will go to them to watch the movie, so the number of screens should be reduced to make way for "Rogue One".

This can also be regarded as the real premiere week of the film "Glamour Girl", with a total box office of 800 million, and won the first place in the North American box office this week, throwing away the film "Rogue One" some.

The North American box office of "Rogue One" this week was 430, because "Glamour Girl" turned out to be a hat-trick.

Regardless of word-of-mouth or the film's box office, "Glamour Girl" is a success.Liu Heming will get 90% of the box office.And with the end of the premiere week, this film has really attracted people's attention, not only those fans of Alex who want to watch it, but also many parents want to take their children in to watch it one look.

The newly signed theaters will continue to increase the number of screens, and the total number of screens of "Glamour Girl" will exceed 4000 yuan again.

Don't look at the high box office share given to Lao Liu by the theaters, but they are very happy to give it.

This movie can be said to be a "popcorn" movie. Among the current audience, the proportion of family viewing has increased a lot.The family brought their children to watch movies, and the sales of popcorn and drinks also increased a lot.

"Lock, congratulations, tomorrow you will become a member of the [-] million box office club." Liu Heming looked at Locke who was smiling from ear to ear and said solemnly.

"Dexter, I also want to congratulate you. Judging from the current situation, maybe the North American box office of this film can exceed 5000 million US dollars." Locke also said seriously.

"Oh, don't compliment each other like this, okay? We have already been contacted by distribution companies in other countries, how do you consider the share with them?" Suzanne came over with "unkempt hair" and asked.

She was really the busiest one during this time, and she was so distressed to Marion that she often gave her little trouble.There are really too many things, it's just a grassroots team, how can there be so many people to help with these complicated tasks, and she is all counted on her alone.

"Susanna, just figure it out. Anyway, you are the one who knows the rules best among these people." Liu Heming said very easily.

Susannah rolled her eyes, but became excited again, "Boss, why don't we really start the film industry? It's really profitable."

This time it was Liu Heming's turn to roll his eyes, "You don't even have to ask me, just ask Locke if he still has the confidence to make such a movie again."

"Susanna, although I really want to become a real film director and continue to shoot more high-quality films, but this time "Glamour Girl" can only be regarded as a special case." Locke said with a wry smile.

"The success of "Glamour Girl" stems from two aspects. One is that the ranch itself has a lot of tourists, and the other is the way Alex gets along with these animals."

"Many people find it very novel. They didn't expect that humans and animals can get along so harmoniously, and they didn't expect that these animals would have such a cute side when they couldn't see them."

"This style of film is the first time people watch it, so they will find it very novel. If we continue to shoot the second and third films, although we can still have some box office, and may even earn tens of millions of dollars, But what we consume is Alex and these animals."

"This film, just shoot one, very good, leave a classic for people. Not to mention me, even if it is replaced by other directors, it will be difficult for the audience to think it is better than this one. .”

Susannah thought for a moment, then nodded.

This is indeed the case, unless you shoot other themes, otherwise you are consuming Alex and these small animals. How could Liu Heming, a Barbie who loves babies, agree.

But if you change to other subjects, you will not be able to replicate the miracle of this film at all.Even with the appeal of this film, if you can get an official screening opportunity, you will basically lose money.

"Okay, now our film has been unexpectedly successful, so let's stop thinking about other things." Liu Heming stretched his waist and said.

"Reconfirm everyone's time again. We also have to go to the island to hold the annual meeting. After the annual meeting is over, I have to go back to China for the Spring Festival."

"Lock, this time I will take 1000 million dollars from the box office and give it to you to distribute to the crew. I don't know how other people's crews are allocated. I think this number should be about the same?"

"Dexter, it's already a lot." Locke nodded with a smile.

"The production process of this film is not very complicated. With Alex, these animals are also very cooperative. In fact, the whole shooting process is just everyone playing."

"That's good, the film matter is over, and you can relax. The next time is to find your friends and see who is interested in joining our advertising department." Liu Heming nodded with a smile.

"Now you are not a director, but an employee of our company. The advertising department must also be responsible. Otherwise, not only will there be no salary, but money will also be deducted."

Locke nodded vigorously. I really don't have to worry about the movie. I also want to take my life to a new level.
