Hollywood legendary director

There are many criteria for judging whether a film is good or bad. From lens language to shooting techniques, or editing methods, there are always too many things to say.

But for most moviegoers, there is probably only one market element that can always stimulate the senses and express recognition, and that is the box office.

Compared to film reviews with strong professionalism and personal inclinations, the real-time box office is more or less clear at a glance.

Passers-by and the audience are also obviously easy to draw a conclusion based on this data: the box office is high, and the movie will not be too rubbish...

Therefore, the general audience's viewing basis is very easy to be attracted by the box office number of a movie, and then the idea of ​​going to the theater to support it.

On the first day of "Daydreamer", the box office of 24.75 million U.S. dollars created with nearly 1,000 screens naturally gained the attention of many viewers.

With Blue Butterfly Pictures continuing to invest in publicity funds, news similar to "Daydreamer" hits hits has been continuously pushed into the information market by major media, thus accumulating more attention.

Due to the problems of life and reading habits, Americans still quite like to buy newspapers, which are commonly used reading materials in their leisure time.

So naturally, the box office performance of films that can grab the audience’s attention is the most commonly used reporting direction -

"Director Lyman Rast made another shot to create a relaxed comedy feature film unlike the previous one, and won the box office championship on the first day."

"The long-distance trips with joy, fun, and little people are so wonderful, and they won a high box office of 24.75 million US dollars on the first day. There is no doubt that "Daydreamer" combines business and art well. It is also highly praised by movie fans."

"The museum averaged US$24,000, and "Daydreamer" won a lot of opponents. Just yesterday, Blue Butterfly Pictures only released about 1,000 cinema screens, but it lived up to the audience’s expectations and support. Overcome a group of films to win the daily box office championship, and what is even more rare is the comparison of all aspects of data between "Daydreamer" and the second place "Brave Daddy".

Both belong to the range of comedy themes. The production cost of "Daydreamer" is slightly higher than that of "Brave Daddy", but the audience ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes are very different, opening close to 1.4 points ("White "Day Dreamer" 7.7; "Brave Me" 6.3), in terms of total box office, "Brave Me" has accumulated 62.45 million, and the show time is nearly two weeks, but "Day Dreamer" has 24.75 million on the first day of its premiere. , More than one-third of the former total, and the number of screens of "Brave Me" is more than "Daydreamer", but it is completely irresistible, and all comparisons have to be far exceeded.

Therefore, it is not difficult to foresee that "Daydreamer" will rely on its excellent word-of-mouth and the popularity of screenings, and the more the box office is harvested, in the next month or so, this medium-investment film is likely to make a substantial profit, and it will be located in North America At least 170 million or more, maybe even more effort can exceed 200 million.

Moreover, this is also a wake-up call for the ever-increasing cost of film production-the more investment, the more profit may not necessarily be, but because of the rising production risk, it will be a big defeat..."

The media's competing reports made "Daydreamer" quickly become the focus of audiences and fans. With many praises and discussions, journalists and paparazzi will naturally not miss this great opportunity.

And because director Lyman seldom takes the initiative to accept interviews, and he may not have time to be wasted by these people, he has turned his attention to another central figure in the film-the pursuit and interception of Kim Carey.

In the past, when I was left out by the media, I would be frightened, but once I was sought after, I would not tire of it. Perhaps this is the contradiction shared by an actor.

Anyway, Kim Kerry is in this situation now, and suddenly, his life is full of flashlights.

The paparazzi are indispensable in the streets, restaurants, and even private houses, whether driving or participating in various activities.

These people seem to be ubiquitous and pervasive, chasing, asking...

Of course, this kind of life is not unfamiliar to Kim Carey, and he himself, under the orders of the economic team, tries his best to increase his exposure in cooperation with the movie - the popularity of the movie is only temporary, and it must not be wasted. .

Therefore, in the face of the interview, Kim Carey kept his demeanor as much as possible, responded carefully, and did not step on traps.

He knows that his words and deeds will be watched by the media like a magnifying glass. Many people will be happy to watch his jokes. He also avoids answering some sharp questions. Otherwise, he will probably be self-defeating. , Just how hacked.

Don't look at these people always showing pleasing smiles and walking around them all, but these people are not doing this to him alone. Whoever has the topical level will turn around who, and the order cannot be wrong.

For the sake of topicality, these people do everything, and even deliberately distort the facts.

It's just that Kim Carey understands this very clearly. This is a compulsory course for an actor who wants to mix in Hollywood-how to deal with the media.

At the same time, "Daydreamer" continues to search for box office profits through the North American market, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies has not weakened at all after the first day.

After the following two days passed, the box office data for the first weekend of "Daydreamer" was officially announced.

Among them, 22.45 million were harvested on Saturday, 22.84 million were harvested on Sunday, and a total of 70.04 million were collected during the three days of the weekend. This again proves how broad the market for comedy movies is. It is no wonder that over the years, there are always comedy works with small and popular movie types. Participation.

And the box office of 70.04 million US dollars in the first week is naturally very easy to win the box office championship next week, surpassing the second place of "Brave Daddy" by 32.42 million, which is simply a challengeless crush.

Time soon entered the second week of the release of "Day Dreamer". Although Blue Butterfly Pictures had confidence in the film, it was also speeding up the release operation as much as possible. However, "Day Dreamer" was released on the screen the next week. The quantity has only increased by less than 750 yuan.

This is mainly a matter of communication and copying. It is impossible to spread too much in just two or three days. If it can increase so much, Blue Butterfly Pictures has already made some preparations.

Of course, the market potential of a movie always has its limits, and it is impossible to come casually.

Anyway, even if the number of screenings is increased, the daily box office performance of the next week's film does not increase. After all, the audience base will always gradually decrease over time.

This is why industry insiders often use the formula that the box office of a movie in the first three weeks can basically account for about 70% of the box office of the entire movie to predict the box office.

However, for the current situation, both Lehman and Blue Butterfly Pictures are very satisfied.

After all, you won’t lose money...
