Through the Internet and the word of mouth of the audience, "The Witch", which pretends to be the real shooting of the disappearance of the witch, has been screened in a few theaters, but it spread quickly in a few days. Due to the early online and offline The hype has made a lot of people who know and are curious about this case, especially young people.

Ever since, from the first weekend of its release, the theaters of "The Witch" were instantly full, and the popularity rose extremely fast. On Sunday, it was almost hard to find a ticket. In the first week, only 27 theaters were accepted, but 150 were accepted. The astonishing box office of over 13 US dollars for a single theater, and even nearly [-] for a single theater in two days on weekends, far higher than all the movies in the same period, and even surpassed many movies. Films from thousands of venues competed, and finally ranked No.[-], which is a legend.

However, New Line did not intend to expand the screening immediately, but only opened a few theaters in a few big cities, such as New York and Los Angeles, and only added four theaters on the weekend of the second week. 31 movie halls, resulting in a scene that continues to be popular and tickets are hard to find.

This kind of hunger marketing, combined with the already slightly miraculous news, has attracted more people's attention. At the same time, although the pseudo-documentary mode of the film makes the film look extremely rough, the film follows Adam's usual horror atmosphere, especially the following The sense of fear that slowly climbed over time scared countless viewers even more, so that word of mouth did not decline.

In a single week, it continued to earn 200 million US dollars with a crazy score of breaking 12 US dollars in a single venue, a slight increase from the previous week, and reached the No. It's hard to compare, but anyone can see the incomparable momentum, just waiting to be crushed after the expansion.

In the third week, New Line finally stopped suppressing the venues and decided to expand the first round of screenings, from the original 31 theaters to [-] movie theaters. To have so many movie theaters is considered an excellent treatment.

The New Line is also very satisfied, but it is definitely a huge challenge for "The Witch" to increase from more than [-] theaters to [-] times at one time. It is also possible to continue to take [-] to [-] US dollars from a single hall as before, and the attendance rate will definitely decline, which is inevitable.

In order to prevent the audience from falling too badly after the extended screening, New Line continued to ignite the fire without fear of death. He not only hyped up the audience who were frightened by the movie, but even recorded them fleeing in panic at the last scene. The video clips were broadcast on TV stations to create a sense of horror and attract young audiences to try.

I have to say that this approach really stimulated some audiences. It added a big fire to the limelight and made the atmosphere of the movie even hotter. After the huge expansion and crazy marketing on the weekend of the third week, the box office finally appeared. Blowout phenomenon, taking more than 4000 million US dollars in a single week, creating the best single-week performance in April.

As for the No.2 word-of-mouth movie, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which finally climbed up by word of mouth after six weeks of release, won an excellent score of 400 million US dollars in 14000 theaters, but under the crazy score of No. 1 million , is still left far behind, and it can be said that the bottom nine of the top ten are even less than the No.[-] general box office. You must know that this movie is a horror movie with a cost of only a few hundred thousand dollars.

This crazy achievement has scared the whole of Hollywood. You must know that after this week, "The Witch" has grossed over 5000 million US dollars at the box office. According to estimates, the film basically breaks [-] million without suspense. Then it can be calculated that the film will create the highest input-output ratio in history. record, and this record is almost impossible to break, especially when the dollar is gradually printed more and more, and it becomes less valuable after inflation.

In the fourth week, the film continued to expand to more than 500, and this time it finally won the first place in the number of screenings. However, after the large-scale release, the popularity and attendance also began to decline. With a score of 500 million US dollars, the box office fell by about 1994%, and the total box office just exceeded 2 million US dollars. It became the first film to break [-] million US dollars in [-]. The movie "Duck Becomes a Phoenix [-]" released in the same week also won the single. Good results of more than [-] million in a week.

It has to be said that this movie shocked the entire American society, not just Hollywood, because New Line’s malicious hype caused many unidentified viewers to go to the police station to call the police after watching the movie, which was a huge waste of police force.

It even triggered a "missing person who is concerned about the disappearance of witches" incident. Since New Line saw the movie's box office continue to rise steadily, it was unwilling to explain publicly for fear of causing fluctuations in the box office. After all, this fake film that cost hundreds of thousands The documentary has already earned hundreds of millions of dollars in box office in the United States, and his follow-up box office still has at least 5000 million remaining, which is simply a miracle. If he stands up at this time, he will not only lose the follow-up box office of 5000 million, but also nearly [-] million US dollars There will be a huge dive in the DVD revenue, as well as tens of millions of rentals and copyrights, which New Line cannot tolerate.

Although he still has a few big IP horror movies that he can look forward to this year, let alone whether these movies can make money, it is definitely not so profitable. Even if half of them have to be handed over to Adam, that is tens of millions of income. The entire Hollywood , The annual income of many large and medium-sized film companies is only so much.

So why do capitalists dare to do it even at the risk of decapitation, as long as the benefits are large enough.This truth has been confirmed again.

In May, Weinstein's film "No Escape" will be released, as well as Warner's "Withhonors" and Paramount's "Four Weddings and a Funeral", which originally wanted to be a dark horse, as well as several Fox films of the same period. The movies released are also menacing.

Of course, for the sake of a company, Warner didn't do anything, and even used its own TV station to do a series of reports and publicity to increase the influence of "The Witch".

But the others don't see it that way. Hollywood is not a kind place, especially the few companies that have been in Hollywood for so many years without going bankrupt and are thriving.

If you are indeed too powerful to be added, you will naturally avoid the edge, but New Line is not Warner itself. A little weaker. Third, the promotional methods of the movie called "The Witch" released by New Line this time are too low-key and give people a handle.

Whether you want to give Shay, a 'newcomer' who has been too much in the limelight in the past one or two years, a stick to calm him down, or for your own benefit, you must show him a few hands, not to mention that he can completely drive away "The Witch" but It is still necessary to file the limelight.

So, just as May was approaching, the front page of the "Los Angeles Times" published an article "The Biggest Miracle or the Biggest Fraud--A Huge Marketing Victory for the Movie Witch". Telling everyone about the previously widely circulated disappearance of witches is a large-scale scam planned by New Line for marketing purposes.

I have to say that in order to make the whole article look reliable, the author of the article not only listed a few bugs that ordinary people are unlikely to notice, but also disclosed the real identities of several protagonists in the movie. The degree is definitely worthy of the money paid by Weinstein behind it.

Later, "Hollywood Events" also began to reveal that the film deceived the audience's IQ, and used the goodwill and concerns of ordinary people to achieve its evil purpose of making money. They even put the new line on the back of the society, calling it the scum of Hollywood. Of course, everyone knows that as long as there are benefits, the film company will pay the slightest attention to the so-called morality and conscience. Of course, the people still eat this. one set of.

In addition to "Hollywood Incident" and "Los Angeles Times", there are many other newspapers and periodicals that reported on this incident. There are more than ten newspapers and periodicals with names and surnames that can impress people, so their coverage is still extremely wide.

Of course, the condemnation of the new line is not limited to offline, perhaps the initial publicity method of this movie started from the Internet, so naturally a large number of critical voices emerged on the Unicorn BBS, many of them obviously Look, it is the so-called navy in later generations.

When Adam received a call from Shay, wanting Adam to help him suppress the racism that was widely spread on Unicorn, Adam was stunned. He didn't expect that the so-called Sailor, but Adam didn't fully agree to Shay's request. He just ordered the management staff to delete those posts that were clearly instigating the flames, and then asked Shay to ask Saijun to clean it. Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

Ever since, the forces of the two parties have been fighting fiercely in Unicorn. In order to prove their point of view, everyone has quoted scriptures one after another, and the onlookers who don't know the truth have also joined the battle group. Pai messed around savagely and exhausted all means.

This rare debate, even after both Shay and Weinstein's navy left, still has no tendency to decline, but Adam is happy to see it, because this debate not only allows Adam to subdivide several An independent module, also refreshed the forum's highest number of logins.

In any case, although "The Witch" and New Line Company, which lost their reputation among all the trolls, did not lose much at the box office, and finally won 300 million after several fierce battles. With a total box office of [-] million US dollars, New Line and Adam, who is hidden behind the scenes, made a lot of money.

But the whole of Hollywood, and even the United States, never thought that the real big wave in 1994 was not the witch, but "American Idol" that came with the scorching summer air.
