Best of Hollywood Chapter 199

Early the next morning, Ryan came to Orion Films with a tired face, asked the secretary to make a large cup of wolfberry tea, and took a sip from time to time, full of sweetness.

Until around ten o'clock, Jon Fertimer hurried in with a hint of excitement on his face.

"According to the statistics just now, "Terminator 3" was screened in more than 2,880 cinemas at midnight, earning a box office of 8.15 million US dollars, breaking the box office record for an R-rated movie in North America."

Having said that, Jon Felthammer waved his fist excitedly, "The theater company said that it will continue to increase the number of screens and the rate of screenings, and the reputation of the audience at the midnight show is very good."

"According to the data obtained by the survey company, the survey results of 31 movie theaters in 15 cities in North America show that 67% of audiences are young people, and only 28% are audiences over the age of 24. Most of the audience below are ethnic minorities, and the average rating is ."

This is the evaluation from the audience who just watched the movie. It is much more reliable than the professional evaluation of media and film critics, and this is the most authentic reaction of the market.

To be precise, the attitude of ordinary audiences can represent whether a film can be successful, not the media and film critics.

The score of A﹢ is already very high for a commercial popcorn film, and it can even be said to be very rare.

As for the professional rating, Jon Felthammer didn't say anything, so it probably shouldn't be too low.

$8.15 million at the midnight box office!

A look of excitement flashed across Ryan's face, and then he said very humorously: "It seems that we can hold a celebration banquet in advance."

The midnight box office of $8.15 million is simply an unbelievable figure, which is enough to explain many things.

As long as the word-of-mouth of the audience continues, it is almost certain that "Terminator 3" will be a big hit at the box office.

"Continue to increase the scale of publicity on the Internet. If the cost is not enough, additional funds can be added."

"In addition, except for Yahoo, all large websites must place advertisements." Ryan quickly made a decision.

To put it bluntly, it is to increase the number of online trolls and use each forum website as a platform to affect the reputation of "Terminator 3".

Not to mention that the reputation of "Terminator 3" is not bad, even a movie with a mediocre reputation can be turned into a movie with a good reputation.

This can be regarded as one of the most common publicity methods used by film companies in previous lives.

Regardless of the real word-of-mouth, at least hype it on the Internet first.

"How many peripheral products are sold?" Ryan asked.

The big sales of every commercial film, in addition to the box office share and various copyright income, as well as the income from peripheral products, also occupy a very important proportion.

"The income from the peripheral products of "Terminator 3" at midnight yesterday was about 4.6 million US dollars, and a considerable part of the products were sold out."

Jon Fertimer continued: "According to the contracts we signed with major manufacturers, we can get 30% of the sales, and if the film's North American box office exceeds 300 million US dollars, we can also increase the percentage. Fifth."

"At the same time, there is a somewhat unexpected news. Several gossip news reported that the two underage girls of the Hilton family not only watched the midnight show of "Terminator 3", but also bought valuable peripheral products."

The Hilton family!

The names of Paris-Hilton and Nikki-Hilton immediately appeared in Ryan's mind, the famous ladies of the American high society in the future.

The two are not only of extraordinary background and beautiful appearance, but also went to Hollywood for a period of time to develop.

"It seems that the peripheral products of the film are not only selling well, but even the two daughters of the Hilton family like it very much."

"You can put this news on the Internet, but remember not to hype it too much, after all, it is a member of the Hilton family." The corner of his mouth raised a smile.

This is a promotional selling point for door-to-door delivery, so naturally you can't miss it.

No matter in any age, don't underestimate the popularity brought by celebrities and daughters, not to mention the Hilton family's reputation in the United States has always been not small

But you must grasp the scale, otherwise it will cause trouble.

"By the way, let someone discuss with Yahoo, and publish the box office data of "Terminator 3" on the homepage of the website at any time." Ryan suddenly remembered something.

Things like this were normal in the previous life, but this is the first time in North America, and a seemingly simple thing can sometimes have unexpected effects.

Most of the people on the Internet are young people, who are born with a pursuit of wealth, success and other things, so the announcement of the box office data of "Terminator 3" will definitely cause quite a sensation.

The only pity is that the box office statistics of theater companies in North America have not yet realized the Internet, and the data is updated every day at most, and cannot be updated in real time.

Even so, it is much faster than traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, and TV stations.

"I'll do it right away." Jon Fertimer's eyes lit up, and he left the office impatiently.

Until this time, Ryan was relieved. The shooting style of "Terminator 3" has changed a lot. Compared with the original version, it is almost two completely different films. Even he can't guarantee whether he will face failure.

However, the box office data of the midnight show in front of us is as high as 8.15 million US dollars, as well as the sales of peripheral products of the film, which can finally give a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Ryan picked up a newspaper casually, leaned on the chair to read it, and took a sip of wolfberry tea from time to time, looking very leisurely.

"After 12 years, the "Terminator" series of films returned to Orion Films again, and the legendary Hollywood director Ryan Gosling joined hands with Arnold Schwarzenegger..."

Ryan did not expect that the first film released by Orion Films was the sequel to the "Terminator" series released by Orion Films that year.

Speaking of it, when I was planning to shoot "Terminator 3", I didn't think about it at all.

Now it seems that Orion Pictures once again releases the "Terminator" series of films, which can have a considerable publicity effect.

At least it proves that the decision to buy Orion Films instead of Canadian Films was very correct.

After only reading a few newspapers, Ryan lost interest in continuing to read, either touting the fighting and special effects scenes of "Terminator 3", or various meditations around the content of the film, such as intelligent life, nuclear war, etc. Or just some gossip tabloids scribbled about it.

It looked like he almost vomited blood for three liters, but there was a gossip tabloid saying that he had an affair with Gail-Anne-Hurd, and the description was very detailed.

Seeing this, Ryan simply threw the newspapers into the trash can so as not to affect his mood.

With the large-scale release of "Terminator 3" in North America, a number of theater companies have once again increased the scale of the film's release, and after the audience's word-of-mouth fermentation at the midnight show last night, as well as the publicity on the Internet, the film's daily schedule The number of seats on the field did not drop much.

For this reason, the online propaganda department of Orion Films has occupied almost every important forum, and you can see news about "Terminator 3" everywhere, and even many staff members have not rested overnight, constantly switching accounts, logging in to each forum to post message.

It can be said that the Internet has become the most important publicity channel for Orion Films ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ even surpassing all traditional media.

Of course, it is impossible for any film to be liked by everyone, and there must be different voices. Many of them think that the plot of the film is too pale, and it is far less worthy of consideration than Ryan's last work "The Truman Show".

There is also the rating of "Terminator 3", which is only an R-rated film, and will inevitably lose some audiences, such as audiences with underage families.

In addition, Wednesday is a working day, and many office workers need to work during the day. It is estimated that the single-day box office will hardly be comparable to "Independence Day".

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the box office data of the first week of "Terminator 3" to break the record set by "Independence Day" this year.

"Independence Day" is indeed a classic film, coupled with the advantages of rating and release time, thus creating an unsurpassable miracle.

Even Roland Emmerich himself dare not say that the films he will shoot in the future can surpass "Independence Day".

Of course, except for the big ship that will be released next year, the box office of "Titanic" cannot be described with common sense.
