Legendary Hollywood Director

In the North American film market around mid-March, there is still no shortage of works released.

Among them, there are the action movie Fantastic Daddy released by Disney, the horror movie Midnight 2 from DreamWorks, and the Colombian love movie Black and White Matching for Boys and Girls.

Of course, there are far more than these three films being shown in theaters, but only the market box office of these three films can pose a threat to Daydreamer.

It's not that Blue Butterfly Pictures is arrogant, but that the competitors really have nothing to beat, and even if they do, they are embarrassed to do it.

You see, the top box office hit the day before yesterday was Fantastic Daddy, starring Vin Diesel, which has been showing for nine days. Such a big bald man with a big bald head didn't go to fight and kill, and turned into a housewife who takes care of the family. The plot is still very funny, and the director is Adam Shackman, who is very good at comedy genre. , Under the joint efforts, the first week accumulated 30.2 million US dollars and won the championship.

Its good days seem to be over, though...

On March 21, the second day after the release of Daydreamer, the average attendance rate was as high as 80%, and even some theaters in prosperous areas were full, and the phenomenon of queuing occurred.

These theaters are all talented people, and naturally it is impossible to make money without earning it, which directly increases the intensity of resource tilting.

In caa's office, Jim Carrey read more than a dozen newspapers and periodicals with a large circulation. To his surprise, except for one or two articles that stood in the position of criticism, the others gave very positive praise.

If it hadn't been known that Stanton and others had counted media reports, Jim Carrey would have suspected that they would never have bought those newspapers with bad reviews.

After all, being criticized all the time, no matter whether the box office is good or not, there are people who say weird things, which makes Jim Carrey somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of situation...

After a while, the office door was pushed open, and an assistant rushed in, Good news, everyone. Mr. Jim Carrey, Mr. Staunton, all the box office statistics of yesterday's movie have been made.

Really, bring it here. Stanton felt that the assistant was in a good mood, it should be a beautiful statistic, and he felt some joy in his heart, so he took the initiative to stand up and took over the box office report.

The crowd was surrounded, and Jim Carrey only felt relieved in an instant.

Are you sure? someone asked.

Yes, I've been right several times. The assistant nodded seriously.

That's good.

For a time, the group felt that the burden was much lighter, and they could even imagine how much bonus they could get.

I saw that on the clear-form report, the name of Daydreamer was so high, and the data was so wonderful.

On the first day, it earned 24.75 million US dollars, the daily box office champion, accounting for 27% of the box office share of North American theaters.

Yes, a movie, more than a fifth of the market, that means potential.

If the box office is not suddenly cut in half, this week's box office champion has almost been locked. This is the simplest idea of ​​Jim Carrey.

Then I started to calculate, in addition to the basic salary, according to the actor contract signed with Firefly Pictures, I also enjoy 3% of the North American box office share, 24.75 million on the first day, I can get 730,000 US dollars,

If you add up to a lot...

Maybe he can earn more than 17 million yuan this time, which is already very satisfying to Jim Carrey.

You must know that although he has entered the actor club of 20 million US dollars, it has been difficult for Jim Carrey to obtain relatively high benefits under the poor market for so many years. If he can earn more than 17 million, he will also gain a good reputation. That's 10,000 willing.

He is not short of money, but he does not want to lose his status in the circle.

Seeing Jim Carrey raising his eyebrows and smiling, Stanton was obviously immersed in joy and excitement, but he quickly suggested: From now on, you need to do a lot of publicizing your personal image to restore the past decline, this is a good opportunity. , just use it to increase the chips.

...

In Blue Butterfly Pictures on the other side, Liam and other employees in charge of film distribution are also enjoying the joy of victory after getting the box office data of the film.

You must know that in addition to winning the daily box office championship without any suspense, Daydreamer is more importantly, several competitors have been greatly affected.

For example, the box office overlord the day before yesterday, The Brave Daddy, made a direct daily income of 8.9 million to 6.52 million US dollars, a drop of more than 30%, even the former number one, not to mention the others. , are squeezed miserably.

After all, there are only so many market audiences in the schedule, and Daydreamer is on the top, naturally some people want to spit out the market in this area.

In the top five list, Boys and Girls Black and White 5.24 million, Midnight Bell remake of the US version of the sequel 4.76 million, MGM's The Underworld 2 4.28 million, the four together can be considered to win For a Daydream, it can be said that they have absolutely no strength to fight with it, which means that if the audience's reputation for watching movies does not collapse, the market performance will be very stable.

Furthermore, if you compare the number of screens shown in several films, the gap is even greater.

In the five films, except for The Brave Daddy, which has more than 1,800 screens, the rest are not much more than Daydream, but they are almost all maintained at around 1,000, except for The Underworld 2 which may be The box office fell short, shrinking to more than 870.

But this is the case. The box office of Daydreamer is several times that of the following single movie. In fact, the single venue has earned more than 23,000 US dollars. How can this not make people happy and feel stable.

And getting such a result at the beginning is still not a popular schedule, and the pressure is not so great. It is estimated that breaking 100 million in North America is not a problem. Then, what about the world?

You know, Lehmann was afraid that the film would be unacceptable when it was filmed a few years in advance, and he deliberately adopted a very cautious distribution model. The number of opening pictures was not expanded at all, leaving room for leeway, just in case the market performance was not good at that time. , which can reduce the investment in publicity and distribution in time and reduce risks.

But if this box-office momentum continues, is there no pressure to pay back?

You know, the original version did not have the blessing of a streaming movie star like Jim Carrey, and it all got more than 180 million.

Perhaps now, this movie with an investment of no more than 55 million US dollars is expected to exceed 200 million.

At least, this movie chose a fairly good schedule, obviously suppressing the limelight of several other works, and eating a large part of the market share.

When Lehman learned all this, although he was happy, he was also worried about the script and story of the new film.

CG special effects, it is not enough to use visual technology, otherwise it will not actually play a role in promoting the digital field.

What should I choose to shoot? Can't be too advanced, can't use too little technology, conditions are limited...
