Chapter 423： "New York Row" (4)

"How much is the box office?"

Lehman leaned on the sofa and asked in a trance.

On the other end of the phone, Liam, the new CEO of Blue Butterfly Pictures, made a detailed report: "More than 3,000 theaters, 7 shows, and a box office hit of $40.27 million."

"More than 40 million..."

Lyman muttered.

Nima, Zha Dao is going to soar into the sky.

It broke 40 million on the first day.

All directors who can achieve this result are the hottest people in Hollywood.

In the past three years, that is, since Lehman's debut, no Hollywood blockbuster that can reach this number has more than two hands.

This is a huge watershed. Looking at the past hit masterpieces, it is almost out of date if it does not exceed 100 million in three days. And getting 40 million on the first day is undoubtedly going to break through 100 million in three days.

Even the current Christmas box office champion "National Treasure" has yet to achieve this achievement.

As the best popular theme, there is also a gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer teamed up with actor Nicholas Cage. In the same period when the competitors are not very good, they only won more than 37 million at the box office on the first day.

But the "newcomer" Zhadao did it. With the team, investment and early publicity, it was not because he had a lot of money, but he also created such good results.

My darling!

Why do you feel that Zha Dao is the template for the protagonist?

In the past life, he also rose rapidly, and he was able to win the most critical project in the Warner DC Cinematic Universe plan.

This is not an open hang, who will open the hang.

"Huh..."

Lehmann was surprised by such data.

This is really... It's really that Lehmann didn't expect the movie to be so popular in the market.

He was confident that the movie would be successful, but he also wanted to be able to wrestle with "National Treasure" and pressed his head a little, but he didn't want to run over it directly.

But on second thought, it is not unimaginable that such a good schedule this year, with the right time and place, people with all the people, and Warner Pictures as the back to support and announce.

The win-win cooperation has indeed come true.

In other words, if the reputation of the movie does not collapse, the movie will really make a lot of money.

Hanging up the phone, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.

Back in the bedroom, Eva didn't sleep. Seeing his happy face, even his steps were much brisker, he couldn't help but smile: "The film did well, right?"

Lehman nodded, "Yes, the big stone in my heart finally fell. The first day was 40.27 million US dollars."

Hearing that "Tour to New York" broke 40 million on the first day, the slightly tired Eva also came to the rescue.

For actors, participating in works that sell well at the box office is a good plus.

In addition, "New York Trip" is not as simple as the ordinary box office is good, it is going to the top ten of the annual list, the meaning is different, the honor is more, and it has to be written into the history of the film.

Hollywood is a very competitive circle, and there are too many employees in related industries. Compared with acting ability, for actresses, the conditions for being selected are less related to the basis of business, and more to consider the face, body, market value, etc.

In the simplest terms, the more popular it is, the easier it is to get opportunities and the higher the market value.

For example, Eva's salary has doubled dozens of times in the past few years due to the addition of many works resources.

"Then you can relax a little now. I haven't even slept well for the past two days, and the dark circles under my eyes will come out." Eva smiled.

"I was really worried the first two days." Laiman sighed, went over to sit by Eva's side, touched her face, and said, "The market wind is very uncertain, suddenly a certain theme is very popular, and suddenly a certain theme The audience is no longer interested. The first-week results of the film are more related to the number of screens in the theater, the choice of film layout, and the tendency of media coverage. Those people are the ones who see the wind and the rudder. The box office is high, the resources are good, and the box office is low. , If you say that you are cut in half, you will be cut in half, and you may not know how the news and newspapers will arrange, ridicule, and watch jokes."

"Then why didn't you worry so much before? Is the investment too large?"

"When you knew me, I made a fortune. Occasionally success or failure would not affect me too much, so I have confidence. But you don't know when I first started making movies, because the first day was released in theaters. The attendance rate was not even 10%. At that time, I sat at a movie theater and felt a chill in my heart. When I went back to sleep, I felt even more uneasy.

The word-of-mouth of "New York Tour" also needs funds to promote and spread, and I can't lose this battle. ' Lyman shook his head.

If they lose, not only will Blue Butterfly Pictures be invaded by big bank capitalists like Guzman, but even the fundamentals of Firefly Pictures will be affected.

"There are a few magazine interviews tomorrow, I will follow up." Eva talked about her own affairs.

"Well, Warner Bros. has arrangements, and we'll be responsible for cooperating. After this period of fatigue, the promotion will be reduced later."

Eva nodded and said, "In another month, it will be the end of the year. Only during this time can you enjoy the bonus of the Christmas schedule."

…

It was a long night, and everyone in the circle was shocked by the results of the first day of "New York Trip".

Although the market performance is definitely not bad in terms of word-of-mouth and screening results, but it is so good, why not surprise everyone?

You must know that the "Batman" series and the "Lord of the Rings" series have huge investment, excellent quality, and high topicality, so they only have the capacity on the first day.

Even the director Lehmann of Firefly Pictures kept accumulating word-of-mouth. In the end, he was able to achieve this kind of achievement only by relying on the splendid dramas, stories and character creation of several movie stars.

But what about "New York Row"?

Second-tier movie stars bring a combination of several veteran actors and new filmmakers. UUkanshu relies on the theme of zombies, how can it be so?

Although it is far from "Spider-Man", "The Lord of the Rings" and so on, it is still a bit worse than the market performance in terms of momentum, but... it is still unimaginable.

You must know that none of these films that broke 40 million yuan on the first day had a domestic box office of less than 400 million yuan.

Success is inevitable, this is the thought in the minds of many people in the industry.

The operation that belongs to Warner begins.

They were also a little surprised when they got the results, but more importantly, they cooperated with the propaganda department to continue hyping the momentum.

As soon as the two parties were touched, Blue Butterfly Pictures and Warner Bros. invested another 20 million yuan.

So, the media also started to act.

Portals, film review forums, newspapers and magazines, TV stations…

Anyway, the good results of "Travel to New York" were hyped all over the sky, so that the audience subconsciously felt that the works that sold well at the box office should be supported.

As for the mixed media, with Warner's money and efforts behind it, they have tried their best to boast shamelessly.
