Chapter 1283

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
New York, USA.

Even with a $50 million publicity budget and a $200 million high production cost in accordance with the specifications of the blockbuster movie, "Titanic" is well known to all, but it is still a bit lukewarm when the movie was launched in North America on December 12.

The main thing is that there is too much noise about the film.

In Manhattan, Jack Henderson, who came here from the express company after work, was a little late. Fortunately, his girlfriend Daniela Holly didn't scold him because another couple, Alexander Kenneth and Kate Henderson, who also arrived early, were bickering.

Alexander is obviously not interested in Titanic as much as Jack, and maybe his girlfriend is a fan of Leonardo, which is even more serious.

What's more, today is the first week of the Christmas season. In addition to Titanic, MGM's king of Combat 2 and Sony Pictures' perfect are being painted at the same time. Even Shakespeare's love story, which was released on a large scale this week after last week's screening, is better than Titanic in Alexander's view. In Shakespeare's love story, there is Daniel day Liu It's the relationship between ACE and Kate Beckinsale.

Kate Beckinsale!

Compared with Rachel Vichy, another British rose in Titanic, Kate Beckinsale is more emotional.

No matter how bad it is, there are a series of blockbusters in Thanksgiving.

All in all, it's better to watch anything than watching James Cameron overspend to the collapse of Titanic, isn't it? Moreover, it is said that the film is still three hours long. If the film is too bad, it will be more painful.

However, when Jack arrived, the dispute soon ended.

Alexander in the end can not beat his girlfriend, a group of four or chose "Titanic.".

Even though a screening of Titanic happened to end in the back stage, Alexander still scoffed at the sight of some women coming out of the cinema crying.

Then come in.

Then, three hours of shock.

Jack and Alexander look at each other as they walk out of the screening hall with their weeping girlfriends in their arms.

Maybe it's a good movie, isn't it?

Kate, shrinking in her boyfriend's arms and wiping her tears with a paper towel, repeatedly scolds James Cameron for letting his beloved Jack die, and then looks up at Alexander: "Eric, I jump, do you jump?"

Alexander: "I'm not sure."

If it's the time when the university just fell in love, it must not hesitate to jump. Now, after graduation and working together for several years, they begin to talk about marriage. How about dancing?

Jump wool.

I'm not in the mood.

In his heart, Alexander felt his girlfriend's eyes and knew that it was no good not to jump this time. He could only nod his head and pull his voice. His tone was obviously perfunctory: "jump, jump!"

On the other hand, some impulsive Daniela, who wanted to ask her boyfriend this question, chuckled, put her arm around Jack and put her head forward. She said with a smile, "I almost thought my Huhu ran out."

Huhu is a Pomeranian owned by Jack and Daniela.

Kate is also helpless to hammer her boyfriend, after all the most emotional girl stage, did not continue to force her boyfriend, but looked at Daniela: "Dana, let's see it again tomorrow morning, OK, without their two cumbersome?"

Daniela was a little moved, but still shook her head: "tomorrow morning, Jack and I are going to Chinatown. By the way, did you watch the video I recommended to you last night?"

"Well, it's not bad," Kate said and understood, "you want to go to Chinatown, that, to find those things in the video?"

"Yes," Daniela nodded, "Jack and I are going to China for our new year holiday, just to the places in the video."

Alexander obviously also saw the video recommended by Daniela and said: "I think those videos are deliberately shot. At least, the scene is not as beautiful as the camera. You may be disappointed when you go."

But Kate is already excited, ignoring her boyfriend's interruptions, she asked: "it should be very troublesome to go to China, right?"

"It's not clear yet," Daniela said. "We're going to consult some travel agencies over the weekend, and we have visa issues."

Kate looked at her boyfriend when she was in Dayton.

They haven't been on holiday together for a long time.

Alexander thought of some videos he watched last night. He didn't like them. In fact, he didn't hate them. Seeing his girlfriend's eagerness, he nodded again: "jump, jump!"

"You really think you're Huhu," Kate punched her boyfriend again and turned to Daniela. "Let's go to Chinatown tomorrow morning and ask about going to China. And Titanic. Let's watch it again tomorrow night. Oh, Leon I mean, I want to go back to the cinema now, Dana, OK? "Daniela glanced at her boyfriend and saw that Jack had no objection, but she didn't mean to continue to accompany her, so she nodded: "good."

It's settled that the four have come to Manhattan street in the dark, looking for a restaurant for dinner.

Kate continued to discuss the movie with Daniela for a while. After entering a restaurant, she took out her mobile phone and said, "I'm going to call Kelly to talk about the movie. We talked about it two days ago. She didn't like my Jack. How can I do that! Well, I'll call my mother again later. She should take her father to have a look. Oh, my Leon, she's so handsome. "

“Jump,Jump!”

“Shut Up!”

……

Hollywood in recent years, all the films that can achieve phenomenal box office results are almost inseparable from a word of mouth effect.

When the word-of-mouth effect of Titanic was quietly brewing, neither the government nor the major media could find it for the first time, because it was not an easy thing.

What the outside world saw was the box office on the first day of Titanic the next day.

US $12.67 million.

The one-day box office champion, however, is only an expected result.

The first day is 12.67 million, and it is expected to earn about 35 million in the first weekend and 55 million dollars in the first seven days.

On the first Friday, the total box office in North America was 150 million, and that in the world was 400 million. This is the basic expectation of Denise entertainment for Titanic after the world premiere in Venice. Now, things are going according to the forecast, no surprise, no joy.

It's like the Thanksgiving file before.

The past Thanksgiving show, whether it's super blockbuster Terminator 3, slightly dark horse's wedding singer, or Pixar's Bug story, has been so regular in the box office week before December 12 that the whole Thanksgiving show has been snatched away by a video game.

After the first day, the first three days, "Titanic" earned $38.03 million.

It's still within expectations.

Many media have begun to predict that "Titanic" will be crushed by "flash 2" next week, and then, the super blockbuster with a budget of 200 million and a publicity of 50 million will come to a dismal end. Even better than Kevin Costner's future water world, which is also out of control, is limited.

As far as daenerys entertainment is concerned, from the beginning of the year's "BJ single diary" all the way strong to the end of the year, as a result, a "Titanic", very imperfect gives a warm ending.

It can only be said that things are unpredictable.

This trend of public opinion changed slightly after the box office was released in a full week from December 12 to December 18.

After 38.03 million for three days over the weekend and seven days in a week, Titanic finally made 61.34 million dollars, which unexpectedly exceeded the 60 million dollar range.

Not only that, the insiders who are familiar with the film industry quickly see the key.

Usually, unless the weekday spans a certain holiday, such as Thanksgiving on Thursday, the three-day weekend generally accounts for 65% to 70% of the box office in the whole week. Those with poor reputation may exceed 70%, because no one will watch them after the weekend. On the contrary, films with good reputation will naturally come into being when a large number of viewers will buy tickets on weekdays.

In the first week of Titanic, the box office was $38.03 million, accounting for only 61% of the total of $61.34 million.

This illustrates one point.

Many audiences, for some reason, choose to watch the film on busy working days after missing the weekend leisure.

Why?

Of course, it can't be a supernatural event.

It can only be said that Titanic is more popular than many media predicted.

On December 19, a new box office week began. On this day, the nominations for the 55th Golden Globe Awards of American film and television were announced. Titanic took the lead in eight nominations, including best film, best director, best screenwriter, best actor and best actress. Although it is inevitable to encounter some criticism like "public relations", it seems that the film's box office performance is not satisfactory What does it mean again.

However, even if the signs turn for the better, people's attention is still more attracted by the new week's "flash 2".

After the Thanksgiving show is not warm as a whole, we can only expect "flash 2" to carry the flag at the end of the year. This is also the only super blockbuster that is generally believed to be expected to break through the local $300 million by the end of the year.

In the face of the strength of flash 2, several other films in the same week, and even the same period films in the previous week, including Titanic, were eclipsed.

Warner Bros. is also looking forward to its own completely exclusive project.

On the basis of the $150 million production budget, Warner has invested as much as $70 million in publicity expenses, with a total cost of $220 million, almost close to the $250 million of Titanic. However, "Titanic" 250 million dollars is out of control, is a failure, and for "flash 2", no one feels wrong.Last year's "wonder woman 2" grossed US $1.053 billion worldwide, not to mention all kinds of peripheries in the DC movie universe series.

Although "wonder woman 2" is after the super baton war, and there are still three heroes participating in it, even if it can't be compared with "wonder woman 2", we all think it's not a big problem that "flash Man 2" can guarantee a minimum of $700 million in the world and charge another $800 million or $900 million. Therefore, the total investment of US $220 million is sure to be a big profit.

As a result, the release scale of "flash 2" also reached the largest at the end of the year, with 4091 screens rolled out at one time, nearly 1000 more theaters than the 3159 canvases of "Titanic" the previous week.

When everyone thought that a certain reversal tendency of Titanic would be easily crushed by flash 2, the box office of the previous day was released on December 20, Saturday, and the first day of the cross Christmas box office week, which was supposed to have little suspense, there was an accident.

First of all, there is no suspense about the big sale of flash 2.

On the first day of the painting, including the morning and night show, the super blockbuster of the universe of this DC movie easily earned US $23.76 million. After a good start, it is estimated that 65 million will go up and down in the first three days of the first weekend, and it is very hopeful that it will directly break through 100 million in the first seven days of the first week.

The problem, however, is not flash 2.

But "Titanic", unexpectedly in "flash 2" and a number of other new and old films under the attack, reversed!

On the first day of the next week, the movie, with a total investment of 250 million US dollars, grossed 13.82 million US dollars a day, 9% more than the 12.67 million US dollars on the first day of the first week.

Many people's first thought of getting the box office data on December 19 is confusion.

What's the situation?

A lot of movies in the whole Christmas file are shivering in front of "flash 2". How could any movie go up against the trend?

Do you look down on DC movie universe?

Or is it an April Fool's Day joke that was put on the wrong side of Christmas, and someone got the data wrong?
