Post-shadow Development Plan

Just when Qiye and female idol Hu Tianhudi were together, the box office statistics for the first week of "fate stay night" came out.

After three days of screenings on Fridays and weekends, the box office results of "fate" in the first week are——

8020 million dollars!

The sci-fi blockbuster "War of the Worlds", which was released a few days earlier than "fate", had a box office of 3825 million in its first week.

pS: I went to bed at 3 o'clock last night, and got up at 6 o'clock this morning to go to school, and then it is foreseeable that I will continue to change the opening report at night...hehe~

There should be a second update in the evening, and Mi Jiang will try to keep updating at the normal time as much as possible, so I won’t say anything else. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 273

On the evening of July 7th, although the time was still Monday on a working day, in North America during the summer vacation, there was never a shortage of young people on the streets.

After a semester of hard study, the students who finally had a holiday were like wild horses running wild, enjoying themselves outside.

As for summer homework?

tan90° does not exist.

And watching movies can be said to be the favorite entertainment of these young people.

Basically, every movie theater in North America is now full of audiences.

Except for a small number of "art" movies that are loved by a small number of couples, most audiences prefer blockbuster special effects.

As night fell, the flow of people in the AMC theater in Loews Lincoln Square gradually became crowded, and most of the audience came for the IMAX version of "fate".

After learning that all the IMAX tickets for the day had been sold out, these frustrated viewers could only complain while buying ordinary "fate" movie tickets.

Meanwhile, in the movie theater's back office, AMC Theaters President Drinkwood is sitting in a chair, listening to the movie theater manager's attendance report.

"War of the Worlds and Fate are already showing in the second week, right? How is the current attendance?"

The theater manager, who looks in his 40s, glanced at the report in his hand, and then said: ""War of the Worlds" now has an attendance rate of about 10% for each show, and for "Fate", the general audience rate is 40%, but IMAX The attendance rate of the hall has always been above 90%.

"Is this the data for tonight?" Dellingwood asked.

"No, this is the data during the day today." The manager replied directly, "The data for "War of the Worlds" at night is only 15%, while for "Fate" it is 55%, and the IMAX hall is 100%."

"War of the Worlds" has failed. This collection of Spielberg and Tom Cruise's sci-fi masterpiece has become a victim of this summer's file.

In fact, if it is calculated based on the box office data on the first day, "War of the Worlds" may not make a lot of money, but it will not lose so badly either.

However, the birth of "fate" directly exposed Spielberg's paper tiger face. In the past two days, the box office curve of "War of the Worlds" directly showed a cliff-like decline.

This is not Spielberg's first failure, but it is definitely the most fatal blow to him. The current DreamWorks simply does not allow him to have such a failure.

However, whether DreamWorks is dead or alive has nothing to do with AMC theaters.

Dellingwood immediately made a decision: "I will apply to Jiufeng for a new copy of the film, and I hope it will be in time. After the new copy is available, I will directly reduce the number of theaters for "War of the Worlds" and maintain the minimum number of screenings in the agreement." That's fine, let the extra movie theater go to "fate" first."

"Is there enough time?"

The manager looked a little confused.

You know, it usually takes about a week to apply for a new copy of a movie before it can be allocated in place.

Dellingwood didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter, I know that Jiufeng has prepared a lot of copies in advance, it may be difficult to say in other places, but New York City can deliver them tomorrow."

"I see." The manager nodded.

As a theater manager, he only needs to ensure that there are movie screenings in every hall, and let the big shots worry about other things.

Although the matter has been discussed, Dellingwood has no plans to leave. He continued: "There is one more thing, about the screening schedule for this weekend."

"Is it 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four?"

Fox started promoting this superhero movie a long time ago. Because of the success of the "X-Men" series, Fox is very confident in this movie, even as the biggest killer of this year's summer file.

Of course, Fox's idea is not without reason. In recent years, superhero movies have shown an upward trend, and "X-Men" has even become Fox's current flagship movie series.

There's no reason the Fantastic Four, which are more popular than the X-Men in the comic book market, wouldn't be successful.

What's more, the popularity of "Batman: Beginning of War" in June also shows the current market capabilities of North American superhero movies.

The manager nodded and said, "After another week, the popularity of "Fate" should fade, and it should be no problem to allocate half of the theater to "Fantastic Four" by then."

Although North American movies can usually stay in theaters for more than half a year at present, compared with the last century, the box office explosion period has been greatly shortened.

Especially for fast-paced commercial movies, there is basically only a one-week breakout period, and the box office will start to decline in the next week.

Therefore, the manager has no doubts about the screening arrangement of "Fate", because this is the choice of the market law.

"Well, there's one more thing."

Dellingwood nodded slightly, "In fact, it's not just "Fantastic Four", another DreamWorks movie "The Island" will be screened in theaters starting next Monday, remember to spare Several halls."

A question mark appeared on the manager's head: ""Island"? What kind of movie is this? Survival on an isolated island?"

"It seems to be a special effects movie, directed by Michael Bay." Dellingwood said with some uncertainty.

It can be seen that Dellingwood is as unclear as his subordinates about what kind of movie this is.

[This movie is expected to die miserably. 】
