[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

The premiere is over.

In a very silent state.

After all, there were very few viewers who could watch the premiere, so it didn't cause much repercussions.

Kingfisher Pictures is still holding out hope that "Source Code" is good enough.

However, what Kingfisher Pictures did not expect was that the premiere performance was so unexpected.

This unprepared premiere performance made Kingfisher Pictures start to reflect.Were they too impulsive to sign Source Code?

Box office results on November 11.

"Desperate Express 2" 2542 million, 2313 theaters nationwide.

"Love and Cigarettes" 809 million.It was screened in 1254 theaters across the United States.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" 2312 million.It was screened in 3004 theaters across the United States.

"V for Vendetta" 1342 million.It was screened in 1834 theaters across the United States.

……

"Source Code" 980 million.It was screened in 2314 theaters across the United States.

"Source Code" had a box office score of 980 million on its first day of production. As a box office score on the first day, it was very mediocre and low. The 2314 theaters that Qili bought?

Can "Source Code" really inherit the miracle of "Juno"?

Everyone is starting to wonder about it.

With the vulgar box office performance on the first day, the results of the premiere week can only be described as powerless.

The box office score of the premiere week was 1634 million. If this momentum continues, "Source Code" will not lose money!

The distribution department, publicity department and even several managers of Kingfisher Films held a planning seminar together.

The general manager threw a stack of data that had just been reported under the table with a kind of unstoppable anger, "Where did you spend the 550 million publicity expenses? Just give me the 1634 results of the premiere week!"

The person in charge of the distribution of the project is also like a headless chicken, "We have basically stepped on the points that should be spent and publicized, but no one can predict the weak box office."

The general manager scolded: "Are you kidding, you can do it in "Juno", but you can't do it in "Source Code"?"

The person in charge of the distribution of the project is a little guilty, "The box office is the most direct reaction of the audience, and the sluggish box office can only prove that the audience does not buy it."

"Joke, now tell me that the audience doesn't buy it? How did you tell me that this movie took a long time?"

The person in charge of the distribution of the project wiped his sweat, "This movie is very good, but being good doesn't mean it's a hit, and Joey Grant may be known in the field of literary films. The audience of science fiction films is really not familiar with this name, and And Meg Ryan, who is not very popular with the public, is a gimmick if used well, and negative effects if used poorly, and using controversial actresses is a double-edged sword.”

"Okay, anyway, it's up to you to say what you say, so why don't you tell me, this time we invested so much money, should I just wait for a loss?"

"Of course not. We should give "Source Code" some time. Joey Grant's last film "Juno" also took the word-of-mouth route. Directors who follow the word-of-mouth route need a period of diffusion."

The general manager cursed, "Who are you lying to? Literary and artistic films only follow the word-of-mouth route. Science fiction films are like popcorn movies, and they will only become weaker as they go forward."

"General manager, we will increase our publicity efforts and try our best to make up for it."

The general manager was still furious, "What's the use of making up for it? The premiere week basically determines the box office trend of a movie. Now we can only cut the cost. Unfortunately, I still trust you and put it on more than 2000 theaters. Now Seems like a waste of money!"

"So, manager, you mean to cut the theater?"

"Otherwise? Cut it down to less than 800!"

The person in charge of the distribution of the project said sadly, "But in this way, the prospect of "Source Code" is gone. The theater is the basis of the box office."

"I don't believe your eyes anymore, I just need to reduce the loss now!"

"But, this movie has a very high rating, and basically the audience who have seen it gave it a very high rating... It's a pity to cut it down."

The general manager frowned and said, "Is word-of-mouth useful? There are still few high-profile movies? We are just a small independent film company. If the movies don't make money, we can't afford such a high theater cost! The more we go down, the more we will lose money." Too much, you overestimated this movie at the beginning, and you want too many theaters in one go."

At this moment, a voice interrupted him, "Charlie, you are still so impatient, you can't eat hot tofu in such a hurry."

"James..." Charlie looked at James Cameron, "What do you think of this movie?"

"It's your loss to cut such a movie that shocks everyone like this." James Cameron walked into the office, and it was rare for the cold-faced devil to say a few words for others.

Charlie froze for a moment, "But we want to make money."

Cameron turned on the computer he carried with him, and asked Charlie to browse a few websites, "Look, Rotten Tomatoes is 90% fresh, and the IMDB score is right at the 9 mark. Although it's only been released for a week, the score must be high. But how many movies have you seen reach such heights?"

Charlie glanced past the short speeches.

"This is a time-travel masterpiece of real value!"

"It's been a long time since I watched a movie with this structure. Everything is great. Meg Ryan, who is [-] years old, has more of the style of the years, and her smile is extremely warm. I cried at the end."

"A very good sci-fi film! The plot is tight and unrefined. The director Joey used a trap to trap us all. When we thought oh, that's what happened, it turned out to be nothing like that at all!! Awesome director !"

"Exquisite script, absolutely awesome creativity, forcibly turned this vulgar American theme story into a sci-fi suspense masterpiece, and the ending setting is extremely good!"

"The screenwriter is very good, the story is well told, the visual effects are remarkable, the editing is precise, and the things that need to be mentioned are never procrastinated, and the things that need to be emphasized are never stingy."

After seeing these real rave reviews, Charlie calmed down a little and coughed, "Indeed, such reviews are rare."

Cameron smiled, "Don't worry, this movie will definitely make money. But you have to be patient, the accumulation of word of mouth is a process."

Hearing that Cameron gave the movie face so much, Charlie had no choice but to trust his old friend again, "Okay, I believe it, and I believe you too."

"I don't believe in me, I believe in the eyes of movie fans. Audiences are not fools, they can tell the difference between a movie with a good reputation." Although Cameron looks serious, he will spare no effort to protect the younger generation who are optimistic.

With Cameron's recommendation, "Source Code" was able to continue its life.

A week later, the reactions of various media to "Source Code" were also released one after another.

Some of the media still follow black people in order to catch the attention.

["Source Code" failed in the first week, the consequences of being proud of your talent]

[Joy Grant finally screwed up after Juno]

"A self-challenging sci-fi film with box-office consequences. How far will Joey Grant go?"

"Joy, who was short-lived, finally reproduced the short-lived one."

"Relying on the resources of my ex-fiancé, relying on hype, no real learning, only complacency, in the end I can't go too far, it will only be a Hollywood joke."

Of course, by the way, I have to laugh at the heroine.

"Meg Ryan is completely out of breath and will never turn around."

But after the major media ridiculed the box office failure of Joey's new film, some more serious and serious film media, and some excellent film critics, the so-called high-quality film critics will never take your benefits to speak for you, these media and film critics People still gave a more fair viewing opinion.

For example, the pertinent film review given by "Film Review".

[The "Source Code" that shocked everyone]

"The director of "Source Code", Joey Grant, surprised everyone with the independent production of "Juno" the year before last. "Source Code" is her first work to test the commercial market. Although the concept is advanced, it is not obscure and dizzying. Collision of colors, messy editing, carefree rhythm, Joey's level is more and more purely refined. And the leading actors Bradley Cooper and Meg Ryan are even more outstanding."

Other mainstream magazines such as "Variety Show" and some film review websites BOSS have all evaluated "Source Code" with positive attitudes.

"Variety Show" even claimed, "A sci-fi film with an investment of only 2000 million US dollars has conquered countless audiences who are demanding on sci-fi with its simple and unpretentious images. This is "Source Code"."

It seems that from the beginning of "Juno", the box office style of Joey's works has been established, that is, the explosive growth of the box office has been accumulated with a good word-of-mouth foundation.

It doesn't take long for a good word of mouth to ferment.

From the second week, word-of-mouth circles for "Source Code" have been formed.

Box office data has also begun to pick up day by day.

But no one expected, including Charlie, the boss of Kingfisher Films: "Source Code" would recover faster than a rocket!

According to the major theaters, there was an endless stream of audiences throughout the week, and the attendance rate during the prime time on weekends was as high as 97%.

In the movie box office of the whole week, "Source Code" came out on top, standing out among more than 10 hit movies.

The box office has soared all the way, and it has started to counterattack with the momentum of a "dark horse"!

At the end of the second week of release, "Source Code" went straight to the top with a box office score of 4300 million!

Won this week's box office champion!

It's terrible, everyone can't understand this situation!
