Chapter 274 Intense competition

Until the end of the ending subtitles, the lights were on, and there was still a surprise and abrupt discussion in the auditorium.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this ending.

However, everything seems to be taken for granted again. Looking back a little bit, we can already give too many hints in the film.

but.

In any case, it is really surprising!

Lisa Collins felt the sound of discussion around her, and stood up with her boyfriend smilingly from the open auditorium.Because of some involvement with a certain guy, she couldn't help but feel a little pride at the same time, and decided to take the time to watch it again. Many details in this movie are still very memorable.

At 9 o'clock, the viewing of the movie was over and the time was already 11 o'clock.

However, when she left, passing the ticket hall, Lisa found that some of the audience who had just left the stage went to the ticket window again.

At this time, those people are obviously not in a hurry to watch another film. It is likely that they can’t wait to relive the many details in the film.

Most of the films with reversed plots are abrupt because of the lack of sufficient preparation.However, such a problem did not occur at all. Too many details in the film clearly implied the final ending. However, it is difficult for people who do not know the ending to understand the details. After knowing the ending, everything is suddenly bright.

The most important thing is that all the foreshadowing and all the foreshadowing are completely integrated with the story of the film, which is not deliberate and indivisible.

So, this is the genius.

Lisa couldn't help thinking that there has always been some media singing this movie in recent times. Now, Daenerys Entertainment has undoubtedly produced another classic.As for the box office, it is obviously not a problem to think about the viewers who have just reviewed the film late at night.

The west coast should still be nine o'clock in the evening.

It's not too late.

So he decided to call Jenny and congratulate her.It would be better if he could meet him with her, maybe a few words.

When Lisa Collins finished her movie watching, countless professional or amateur film critics from various states and counties in North America basically completed their own film reviews.

Compared with other movies, it has undoubtedly a natural advantage in this respect.Because only this new film opened this week, and it was also created by the high-profile Simon Westeros and Robert De Niro, most newspaper media cannot ignore Westeros and De Niro. There is no other option.

If everyone on the entertainment page discusses tomorrow, but there is no similar news in their own newspaper, then readers are likely to think whether this newspaper is out of touch with society.

This is not what newspaper operators want to see.

As a result, early Saturday morning, almost all of the major film criticism news in the entertainment section of North American newspapers were related.

Only this point is equivalent to a huge investment in all-round carpet marketing.

Many big directors and big stars are always easier to succeed, partly because they naturally attract the attention of a large number of media and the public.Even if the quality of the works of these people is not high, because the attention and popularity are too wide, the box office will generally not fail too much.If the quality is good enough, it is easy to sell.

This is actually what people often call the "box office appeal".

North America has long formed a very perfect film review system, and film critics in newspapers usually do not need to win eyeballs through spoilers.Daenerys Entertainment's distribution department has intensified its public relations offensive in this regard under Amy's special instructions.In the end, on Saturday's film reviews, almost all film critics carefully guarded one of the film's most critical secrets in their praise of the film.

Of course, although there is no spoiler, compared to the complete confidentiality of Daenerys Entertainment at the stage of publicity, film critics do not need to be so conservative.

Stephen Hunter, a famous film critic, clearly wrote: "A little attention will make you want to stop.

Not as eloquent as Stephen Hunt, but also praised without implied: "Simon Westeros is another meticulous and exquisite script, definitely the best ending I have seen in a similar film. "

Other newspaper platforms with huge influences, such as,,, and so on, all made large or small hints to the unexpected ending of the film in large-scale film reviews.

In addition to the comments on the ending of the film, on the premise of avoiding spoilers, a large number of film critics also focused on the content of the story about redemption, and the performances of De Niro and Cole’s actors were also unanimously affirmed.

Cole's cast is just a newcomer selected from many child stars, and comments on acting are more inclined to Robert De Niro, an old veteran.

Compared with Bruce Willis, as in many films in the past, Robert De Niro has invested a lot of energy in the role of Dr. Crow. He not only studied a lot of children’s psychology, but also It took me a month to experience this occupation in a psychological clinic.

Therefore, the large amount of words and deeds shown by De Niro in the film are no different from a professional psychologist.

The film critics unabashedly praised De Niro and succeeded in shaping a new screen role in the field.The film critic also suggested in the article that De Niro should be able to give up participating in the upcoming filming, so as not to return to the shackles of the gangster's image.

The media data of all aspects are integrated, and the score reaches the best 8.5 points after the summer file starts.

Prior to this, only Spielberg scored 8 points in the summer.

Other films were almost killed by the media and failed. Paramount's reputation was even worse.The three new movies last week had a good reputation and the media score was only 7.5. They were directly labeled as lap money, but they passed, but the box office was the most bleak.

Numerous cases have proved that there is no direct relationship between the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie. It also involves too many other factors such as the release date, screen size, media popularity and so on.However, not only did it get the highest score in the media since the summer file opened, the influence of the film in the audience has also spread very quickly.

When the media hinted at the wonderful plot of the film, a rare word-of-mouth effect appeared again in the public. After watching the movie, many viewers mysteriously recommended this unexpected ending movie to their relatives and friends.

Coupled with Daenerys Entertainment’s previous efforts to promote all ages, and the exclusive quality of the movie’s most popular week in the summer week, all the good factors are combined. The three-day opening of the painting is not only easy to win with only 1673 screens. At the weekend box office champion, the cumulative three-day box office is as high as 23.15 million US dollars.

You know, the box office at the beginning of the first seven days was only $23.63 million.

The popular summer stall in North America, because of the increase in the number of viewers on weekdays, the weekend box office of a movie is usually 60% to 70% of the box office of the whole week.

According to this proportion of box office, whether it is a box office statistics agency, public media or Daenerys Entertainment, it is generally believed that the first week's box office will be between 33 million and 38 million, which is already second only to the summer season. Open the box office data.

It's just that the first week's box office, according to the ladder-sharing contract of Daenerys Entertainment and Cinema, only seven days are enough to recover the full production and distribution costs of the film.

However, everyone still underestimated the actual box office potential of this time-honored film.

Because of the continued fermentation of the film's word of mouth and popularity, compared with the expected 33 million to 38 million, the box office figure for the first seven days of the first week, eventually reached far more than everyone expected 41.35 million US dollars.

Compared with all other movies that failed to get rid of the ratio of 60% to 70% of the box office at the weekend and the whole week, the three-day box office at the first weekend only accounted for 56% of the seven-day box office at the whole week.Driven by the continued spread of word-of-mouth, a large number of viewers continued to watch movies after the weekend, and the box office share of the film on working days obviously exceeded the average value.

In addition, it has also become the first movie in the summer season to open in the first week of the museum, and the film exceeded $20,000.A total of 1673 screens, the average receipt of the single box office is 24,716 US dollars.

In comparison, in the first full week, the box office number for a single museum was only $19,793, and the screen opening was larger. Although the box office in the first week reached $44.91 million, the average number for the museum was only a lower $18,635.

What's more, the number of opening screens of He has already stimulated the box office potential of the film at one time.In recent weeks, neither of the two films has been expanded.

Look again, the film has only 1673 open screens, which is very different from the 2327 and 2410 screens.In the first week, the pavilions were close to US$25,000. The phenomenon-level movie watching trend has also been formed. Daenerys Entertainment has absolutely no reason not to increase the film layout.

According to box office data in recent weeks, the industry's total box office forecast for North America is about $200 million.

Many people originally thought that this movie is expected to break Daenerys Entertainment's "monopoly", both in 1987 and after 1988, to win the annual box office championship.Now, few people will mention this statement again.Everyone is just looking at where the box office potential will be in envy and curiosity.

On July 7th, the release went into the second week.

Due to the shortage of screen resources in the summer, after urgent consultation with the theater, Daenerys Entertainment just barely managed to obtain an additional 256 screens in the new week, with a total of 1929 screens.

At the same time, three new films were opened this week, namely Warner Bros., Fox Pictures and Columbia Pictures.

The first unprecedented unsuccessful schedule in March two years ago succeeded. Although the box office failed to break through 100 million, it also became Warner's highest box office movie that year.However, because the success of the first song was unexpected, Warner did not have 100% confidence in this sequel, and only gave 1803 open screens.

Fox Films is a comedy. Simon has never heard of this movie, and the number of screens opened is only 1134.

Finally, Columbia Pictures clearly knows that the audience for this low-cost independent movie will not be too wide. Although the film is likely to be optimistic about Westeros, Colombia has not overswelled its self-confidence. Only 517 were arranged in the first week. Open the screen.

However, for literary and artistic films, the scale of such screenings is already very impressive.

Three new films are coming, Daenerys Entertainment did not dare to take it lightly, relaunched a new wave of marketing offensive, and coordinated with the crew to postpone Robert De Niro’s filming so that he can continue to participate in the promotion, The other main creators of the film are constantly running around in North America.

Perhaps looking forward to a strong black horse interception, North American media's attention to the three new films has also increased significantly.

After the painting opened on Friday, media evaluation was soon released.

Successfully continued the first part of the excellent word-of-mouth, with a comprehensive score of 8.3 points, which was only 0.2 points lower than in May.

Perhaps the discussion of the degenerate slacker family in the film has caused emotional resonance, or perhaps it is the literary and artistic film attribute that is easy to please the critics themselves, which has been unanimously praised by the media, with a comprehensive score of 9.6 points.

In comparison, Fox Pictures is silent, with few ratings, only 5.3 points, a look of self-abandonment.However, as a brother comedy with gags and some criminal elements, it also has its own fixed audience.

The release of three new films, together with the old films that have a lot of stamina in May and June, the seven-day period from July 7 to July 13, can be said to be the most intense week of summer competition.
