Chapter 531： first week box office

There are many criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad. From lens language to shooting skills, or editing methods, there are always too many things to talk about.

But for most movie fans and audiences, there may only be one market element that can always stimulate the senses to express recognition, and that is the box office.

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

Passers-by and audiences are obviously easy to draw a conclusion based on this kind of data: the box office is high, and the movie will never be too rubbish...

Therefore, ordinary audiences are easily attracted by the box office figures of a movie, and then they have the idea of ​​going to the theater for support.

On the first day of "Daydreamer", it generated a box office of 24.75 million US dollars with nearly 1,000 screens, which naturally won the attention of many audiences.

Under the circumstance that Blue Butterfly Pictures continued to invest in publicity funds, news such as the release of "Daydreamer" was constantly 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 spare time.

So naturally, the box office performance of films that can win the audience's attention is the most commonly used reporting direction——

"Director Lyman-Last made another move to create a light-hearted comedy that was different from the past, and it won the box office championship on the first day."

"The long-distance travel with joy, fun, and little people is so exciting, and it won a high box office of 24.75 million US dollars on the first day. There is no doubt that "Daydreamer" is a good combination of business and art. It was also very popular among fans.”

"With an average of 24,000 US dollars in the museum, "Daydreamer" has won a lot of opponents. Just yesterday, Blue Butterfly Pictures released only about 1,000 cinema screens, but it lived up to the audience's expectations and support. Overwhelming many films to win the daily box office champion, and what is even more rare is the comparison of various aspects of data between "Daydream" and the second-placed "Fantastic Daddy".

Both belong to the category of comedy. The production cost of "Daydreamer" is slightly higher than that of "Fantastic Daddy", but the audience evaluation on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes is very different, with a score of close to 1.4 ("White"). "Dreamer" 7.7; "Dream Daddy" 6.3), in terms of total box office, "Dream Daddy" has accumulated 62.45 million, and the show time is nearly two weeks, but "Dreamer" has 24.75 million on the first day of its premiere. , more than one-third of the total of the former, and the number of screens in "The Brave Daddy" is more than that of "Daydream", but it is completely irresistible. In comparison, it must be far surpassed.

Therefore, it is not difficult to foresee that "Daydreamer" will rely on its excellent word of mouth and the popularity of its screenings. The more the box office is harvested, in the next month or so, this moderately invested film is likely to make a lot of money, and it will land in North America. At least it is more than 170 million, maybe it will break through 200 million if you work harder.

Moreover, this is also a wake-up call for the ever-increasing cost of film production - the more investment you make, the more profits you make, but the more you lose because of the increased production risk..."

The media's rush to report made "Daydreamer" quickly become the focus of the audience's fans. With so many compliments and discussions, reporters and paparazzi would naturally not miss this great opportunity.

And because director Lehmann rarely gives interviews, and doesn't necessarily have the time to be wasted by these people, he has focused his attention on another central character of the film - the siege of Jim Carrey.

In the past, when I was left out by the media, I would be overwhelmed with fear, but once it was sought after, I would not tire of it. Perhaps this is the contradiction shared by all actors.

Anyway, Jim Carrey is like this right now. Suddenly, his life is full of flashes.

On the streets, in restaurants, and even in private houses, whether driving or participating in various activities, the participation of paparazzi is indispensable.

These people seem to be everywhere, pervasive, chasing and inquiring...

Of course, this kind of life is not unfamiliar to Jim Carrey at all, and he himself is instructed by the economic team to cooperate as much as possible to increase his exposure - the popularity of the movie is only temporary, and it must not be wasted .

Therefore, in the face of the interview, Jim Carrey kept his demeanor as much as possible, responded carefully, and did not step on the trap.

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, it is likely to be self-defeating. , just how black.

Don't look at these people, who always show pleasing smiles and revolve around, but these people are not like this to him alone. Whoever has a topic will revolve around whom, and the order cannot be wrong.

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

However, Jim Carrey clearly understands this. This is a required course for an actor who wants to get along 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 popularity of watching the movie has not weakened at all after the first day.

After the next two days passed, the first weekend box office data of "Daydream" was officially announced.

Among them, the harvest was 22.45 million on Saturday, 22.84 million on Sunday, and a total of 70.04 million in the three weekends This once again proves how broad the market for comedy movies is. Type, there is always the participation of comedy works.

And the box office of 70.04 million US dollars in the first week is naturally very easy to win the box office champion of the week, surpassing the second place "Fantastic Daddy" with 32.42 million, which is simply no challenge.

Time will soon enter the second week of the release of "Daydreamer". Although Blue Butterfly Pictures has confidence in the film and is speeding up the distribution operation as much as possible, however, "Daydreamer" will be released on the screen the following week. The number has only increased by less than 750 pieces.

This is mainly a matter of communication and copying. It is impossible to spread too much in just two or three days. Blue Butterfly Pictures has already prepared a little.

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

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

This is why people in the industry 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 whole movie to predict the box office location.

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

After all, there will be no loss...
