Hollywood Hunter

Money is always the element that most stimulates the senses of ordinary people.

Relative to professional and personal film critics, which are relatively strong, ordinary people judge the quality of a movie, often based on its box office figures, and people are more likely to be attracted by the box office figures of a movie.

The small box office miracle created by "Rola Run" with 207 screens in the first weekend was naturally pushed to the newspaper page quickly by the major paper media who were very good at guessing the readers' minds.Moreover, the news of "Rola Run" has generally left the entertainment version this time and entered the current version with more attention.

Due to life and reading habits, the development of the Los Angeles Evening News has been sullen.

In recent years, the Los Angeles Herald, an evening newspaper of the Hearst Group, which has become thinner and thinner in recent years, has directly pushed the box office information of "Laura Run" to the front page of the afternoon in order to gain the eye of the audience, and also brought a heavyweight back.

"The pavilion averages 26,000 US dollars,'Roller Run' wins Stallone's new movie!".

"Last Friday, the new director Simon Westero directed the film "Rola Run" in the West Coast states and New York small-scale painting. Prior to this, Simon Westero, an 18-year-old Hollywood rising star, caused Has caused extensive media controversy and discussion."

""Lola Run" lived up to expectations, and it was highly praised by film critics after it was released. With the four-day box office data released on Presidents' Day weekend, "Rola Run" is the first weekend box office data of US$5.15 million, overwhelming Sylvie Stall Stallone's new film "Leaping Peaks" achieved good results in the fourth place in the seventh week of the 1987 weekend box office chart."

"However, the comparison of data in various aspects of "Roller Run" and "Leap Peak" is even more surprising."

"The production cost of "Roller Run" was US$650,000. "Leap Peak" was jointly produced by Warner Bros. and Canon Pictures. The production cost was as high as US$25 million, which is equivalent to 38 times the budget of "Roller Run". The number of screens for "Run" is 207, and the number of screens for "Leap Peak" is 1758, which is equivalent to 8.5 times the size of "Laura Run"."

"Under such a disparate contrast, "Roller Run" finally suppressed "Flying Peak" with a box office of US$5.15 million. The average data of a single library reached an astonishing US$26,600, far exceeding all the movies in the same period."

"It is foreseeable that with the excellent word-of-mouth and the high degree of topic, as Orion Pictures promotes "Roller Run" to the broader Middle East market and Canada, the box office miracle of "Roller Run" has just begun. This mini-ultra-low-cost stand-alone movie is likely to become the first box office movie to break the 100 million box office in the next six months."

"At the same time, in the face of both the word-of-mouth and the box office defeat of "Leap Peak", Hollywood should probably once again reflect on the rising cost of film production."

The content of the Los Angeles Herald is almost the focus of the West Coast media in the afternoon and the following days.

With the media's one-sided talk and even ridicule, Stallone's famed experience has become a tragic model of'the front wave died on the beach' for a time.

At the time of the most lively party during the awards season before the Oscars, media reporters and tabloid paparazzi will naturally not miss this great opportunity. Since one of the central figures of the event, Simon Westero, could not be found for a time, they will all pay attention. The focus was on stalking Stallone.

Stallone’s current status is obviously not shaken by the failure of a movie.Faced with the chase and inquiries of the media, Stallone also maintained his demeanor as much as possible, and basically responded appropriately.

It’s just that the clay figurines also had three points of anger and were chased by a group of people for a few days in a row. Before a party in Hollywood Beverly Hills on Thursday evening, Stallone directly stinked because of a paparazzi problem.

Unbearably, Stallone raised his hand to push the other side away.

Then, apparently, Rocky was possessed, and with Stallone's gentle push, the paparazzi fell to the ground and couldn't stand in a coma.

Although many people can see that this is an obvious touch of porcelain, but such hot news, this is all sales, who will control the facts.

So, the next day, there was a large piece of news in the media like "Stallone became angry and stunned the paparazzi".The cause of the whole thing is very clear, so "Roller Run" is still on the hot topic, as if it was once again heavily poured on a barrel of gasoline.

Time soon entered the second week of the release of "Rola Run".

Although the release operation was accelerated as much as possible, the number of screens released in the second week of "Rola Run" only increased to 265. This is mainly due to the increase in the number of theaters that originally signed the theater contract.

The contract between Orion Pictures and these theaters can only get 43% of the box office share, Simon can get 15%, and Orion Pictures is 28%.

Now that "Roller Run" is so hot, Orion Pictures is naturally unwilling to take this share ratio, so it is still negotiating with other theaters.Of course, since a fixed share contract is signed, even if the share of Orion’s share from the theater will increase in the future, it will not have much to do with Simon.

However, Simon is very satisfied with the current situation.After all, if you cooperate with the Seventh Congress, even if you can talk about sharing, Simon is likely to only get about 10%.

What's more, Simon now retains the copyright of all channels other than the North American theater of Rolla Run.With the great success of the film at the box office of the cinema, subsequent copyright sales will naturally be able to obtain more substantial income.

On the other hand, the first week's box office of "Lola Run" was also released in this hot, the final number was fixed at 6.97 million US dollars, still tightly suppressing Stallone's "Leaping Peak", compared with the four-day weekend data, It also pulled in with the third place, "Spirituality".

Many media have begun to speculate on the specific box office prospects of "Rola Run".

With the current word-of-mouth and popularity of "Roller Run", combined with the long-term release and multi-round screening operation mode of this era, the life cycle of the film in the North American theater is likely to reach about half a year.

Six months, about 26 weeks.

"Lola Run" can reach 6.97 million US dollars with 207 screens in the first week. Combined with the film's word-of-mouth and popularity and the box office curve of some popular movies in Hollywood, the media generally predicts that "Lola Run" will eventually The North American box office is likely to reach a staggering 150 million to 200 million US dollars.
