The Best Entertainment Era

It doesn’t take too long for movies to be released in the North American market. Most of them can calculate the approximate future trend after the first day. As long as the first day’s box office, audience structure, audience reputation and other data are fully collected, whether a movie will lose money or be successful Profits are basically clear at a glance.

Of course, there are some individual exceptions, such as Titanic. Those who have seen the box office trend and the audience's word-of-mouth on the first day of the big ship, who would have predicted the future?

But in general, the North American film market is quite mature, whether it is the target age composition, the distribution of various types of film schedules, the promotion of word-of-mouth test screenings, and viral publicity methods, etc., all have mature operating methods.

Movie theaters are also willing to invest resources in movies that show box office potential.

In fact, before Lionsgate contacted, the theaters at the forefront of the market had already begun to increase the film schedule of The Human Purge.

The theater is a commercial company and will make corresponding adjustments based on the market response of the film.

A film is aggressive, and it occupies a very high screen and film schedule on the first day. As a result, the box office revenue and audience reputation are not satisfactory. Naturally, the theater will not invest too much resources in this film.

vice versa.

Moreover, horror movies released during Halloween cannot be screened exclusively.

Lionsgate Films mobilized resources and actively contacted theater companies. The number of theaters showing The Purge of Man did not increase much, but the average screening rate increased by nearly 6 percentage points.

With the increase in the number of viewers, it is no surprise that the word-of-mouth of The Human Purge Project is completely polarized.

In the eyes of some viewers, watching this film is better than drinking a bottle of iced Coke in midsummer; but in the eyes of others, this film is useless at all.

Founded in 1990, IMDB is an online database about movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars and movie productions. Even the most ordinary movie fans can rate and comment on a movie as long as they complete registration.

This website has been established for eight years and has accumulated a lot of users. Among the many movie websites, it belongs to the most famous group.

At present, the average IMDB score of Human Purge is 6.4 points, which is not high or low among horror films.

But there is a very peculiar phenomenon. Most of the ratings of thousands of users are above 7.5 and below 4.5.

Another point is that the box office situation of Human Purge in some southern states is very unsatisfactory.

The three days of the weekend passed quickly, and the new week arrived on time.

At dawn, the newsstand on Thirteenth Street in Burbank opened the door. The boss took out the latest weekly magazines, placed the best-selling copies in a conspicuous position, and pulled up the sling, ready to hang DC and Surprise. Superhero comics.

Just after finishing this, several newspaper delivery vehicles came one after another, and more than a dozen bundles of newspapers were piled up in front of the newsstand.

The boss looked back into the newsstand and yelled: Lisa! Come out to work! Seeing that there was no movement, he yelled angrily: Damn it! Come out to work!

The voice spread far away, and the fat woman immediately squeezed out from the door of the newsstand.

What are you shouting for! The fat woman said in a loud voice, Isn't this coming!

She came to the pile of newspapers, casually stretched out two fingers with both hands, hooked up the straps on the newspapers and left, and quickly moved all the newspapers into the newsstand.

Then, I assisted the boss in placing newspapers.

By the time all this was done, the sun had climbed out of the horizon.

The fat woman wiped her sweat, grabbed a newspaper, and sat down on the chair at the door of the newsstand as usual. The chair creaked again.

People came to buy newspapers one after another, and the boss collected the money to deliver the newspapers, and he was very busy.

The fat woman flipped through the entertainment page, and there was a huge title on the front page——Halloween 7 airborne last week's North American box office champion,

The dark horse Human Clearance Plan followed closely!

Human Purge Project? This name is very familiar, where have you heard it? like……

The fat woman thought about it at this moment, and her face was filled with horror. How is this possible? She couldn't help but look up at the sky, the end of the world? Or are aliens coming?

Problem with newspaper? She casually grabbed another newspaper, which was the Hollywood Reporter, which specialized in reporting on the entertainment industry, and quickly opened it to find the weekend box office report page.

Scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis is back in horror, starring Halloween 7 started painting last Friday, and won 16.1 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, airborne to the top of the North American box office chart.

Human Purge Project, which ranked second on the box office list, was the biggest dark horse in the North American film market last week. This horror thriller brought a surprising box office result. Runner-up at the box office.

The fat woman skipped the detailed report on Halloween 7 and hurriedly read the analysis of Human Purge Project.

According to the predictions of Cinema and several market agencies, the final North American box office of Human Purge is expected to hit 40 million US dollars...

Seeing this, the fat woman's head buzzed. That prodigal son who walked by her every day turned over just like that?

Why? My old lady gets up early every day to help the newspaper, and earns at most a few thousand dollars a month. Why does this prodigal son earn tens of millions of dollars for a single movie?

She couldn't help but think of some novels she had read, such as counterattack, the most annoying!

What are you thinking? The roar exploded in front: Didn't you hear me? Give me a copy of Fashion

The fat woman quickly came to her senses, took the magazine to the customer, waited for the customer to leave, pulled the boss's clothes, and said, That... that prodigal son...

The boss reminded: Little Anderson!

Yes! Little Anderson. The fat woman swallowed, and the prodigal can no longer talk casually. Rich people are not easy to mess with. It's not the prodigal, it's little Anderson.

She speeded up her speech and said, The new film invested by Anderson we mentioned a while ago was released last week.

Losing again? The boss's first reaction.

The fat woman shook her head: There is no compensation. The newspaper reported today that the box office of Anderson Jr.'s new film was 15.2 million US dollars in the first week, and market experts predict that it may exceed 40 million in the end...

The boss was quite surprised: Have you turned over?

The fat woman looked up at the office building behind her, and muttered, I can't see the jumping off the building.

The boss opened the newspaper and skimmed through the relevant reports, and said: It took the old Mr. Anderson ten years to become a millionaire. I didn't expect that Mr. Anderson Jr. would become a multi-millionaire soon.

After posting for a while, a voice suddenly said, Give me a copy of the Los Angeles Times.

The boss quickly took the money, handed over the newspaper, saw the familiar face, and said quickly, Good morning, Mr. Anderson Jr. Congratulations, the new movie is a hit.

Ronan smiled and said, Thank you.

With a briefcase in one hand and a newspaper in the other, he walked into the office building and met many faces that he saw every day.

Some of them are very enthusiastic today and take the initiative to say hello.

No matter who the other party was, Ronan responded with a polite smile.

Pushing open the door of the company, before I could fully enter, I heard a few bangs, and countless ribbons floated down from above and landed on my head and body.

Wow--

Excited shouts also rang out.

Ronan looked at George and Robert, the instigators, and said with a smile, We succeeded!

There was another burst of excited shouts in the office.

If you haven't experienced the despair of near bankruptcy, you can't appreciate the sweetness of success.

Ronan! Robert held Ronan's hand excitedly: You are the second person I really admire besides your father!

George also came over with a big smile on his face: You led us to success!

Mary stretched out her arms and hugged Rona: Ronan, your father will be pleased.

Only they know that Ronan is the key to this success.

Ronan tore off the ribbon from his head and said loudly: Everyone, we will continue to succeed!

(As for the movie box office, the number of theaters and screens in 1998 was much smaller than in 2013, and the ticket price was also cheaper. Lionsgate, which has just started, is not as good as Warner Brothers in terms of distribution, and there is no movie cast. For a famous star like Ethan Hawke, the total box office must be lower than the original version.)
