Chapter 528: Heartbreaking data
Because the disaster caused by the blackout accident brought the plot into the most thrilling period, although many viewers have realized that something terrible will happen next time, when the Tyrannosaurus’s footsteps appearing in front of the crowd, There are still many people who can't help but exclaim. Hey. ∑
The narrative has also been divided into several lines since then. The way of multi-line narrative is often very difficult to grasp. Once the director is not good, it may be resentful because the audience switches to the scene when the audience is very interested in a plot. However, "Jurassic Park" did not produce similar problems at all, whether it was a fat programmer who rushed to the dock with the embryo and was eventually killed by the Shuangling, or a jeep squad that had encountered Tyrannosaurus Rex. The heart of the audience.
Numerous examples have proven that if a movie is only a grand scene or a special effect, it is often not always possible to get a good box office. Jurassic Park has the most extreme special effects technology that can be used in this era. The ups and downs of the wonderful plots are perfectly combined, allowing the audience to experience a singular adventure full of screams and screams as they enjoy the visual feast of the resurrection of ancient behemoths.
After two hours of adventure, the film finally came to an end. When Dr. Setler took the female assistant and two children to escape the dinosaur hatchery, everyone seemed to escape from the birth. Take a sigh of relief.
When the subtitles accompanied the music at the end of the film slowly rising, most of the audience in the cinema did not immediately get up and leave, but they talked with the companions about the various plots in the movie.
From the second half of the movie, the three girls are no longer whispering, but focus on the big screen. At first, they complained that they didn't get a better position, but then they found out because they were big. The screen is very close, the visual effects of the front row of spectators are more exciting. When the Tyrannosaurus rushes to catch the jeep in Malcolm and other people in the jungle tunnel, some people even subconsciously make Backward evasive action.
After the light is on. The reluctant people finally began to leave, and the three girls also walked out of the cinema with people. When they heard that a couple of lovers were not enough to be entertained, Kate looked at the other two women: "Charlie. Penny, how do you say that we will see another one tomorrow?"
"Well," Penelope nodded immediately, and some said something: "I have seen the Tornado last year, I thought it was a miracle. The five-level tornado That picture, I still remember it now. I didn't expect this movie to be able to see more exciting dinosaur scenes. I must, I have to look again, no, both sides."
The three said that they had already reached the parking lot. Charlize took out the key and opened the door. He said, "It’s fine for three times, but tomorrow is Friday. It’s not a weekend. Look at the time. If you can’t sleep, you can’t sleep. It may be late tomorrow."
Penelope quickly looked at his watch: "Oh, it’s already two o'clock," he said as he leaned into the back seat of the car: "Go back soon, I don't want to be punished for what step, that It’s the most terrible torture I have ever seen in my life.”
"What kind of torture? You didn't listen to Master Yuan. When they were young, they practiced lazy words. They will be punished for a whole day and can't eat, and they will be beaten. Then the thick wattle will be pumped back." Charlize started the car. I also made a one-handed stroke of the wattle that I had never seen before.
"He must have scared us," Penelope said without a word. Although she was not a good family when she was a child, she was only a hairdresser's daughter, but she did not suffer from the teacher's corporal punishment when she danced from elementary school. . It is therefore difficult to understand what the fireflies said for the Eastern martial artist they invited.
Kate interjected at this time: "It shouldn't scare us. I remember when I was still in high school, I went to see a box of Oriental movie tapes with my classmates. The name doesn't remember much. It is about the children in the East... in the drama. In the college, the scenes of the performances, the children are only six or seven years old, but they are often beaten. They seem to be called a strict teacher."
Penelope listened to Kate's words and suddenly showed a sigh of laughter at the corner of his mouth. He looked at her and said, "Listen to what you said, I understand what Master Yuan looked at when you first started training. He obviously is I want to smoke you, but I can’t start, I guess my heart is so hard to die.”
"Roll, I don't dance like you two," Kate reached out and scratched Penelope's waist. Although she had trained for more than a month, she had barely reached the standard, but with There are still a lot of gaps between the two girls who are deep in the body, so I don’t like to be tempted by Penelope and Charlize.
Although the street at 2 am in Los Angeles is still not deserted, but the traffic is also a lot less, Charlie helplessly listened to the playfulness of the two girls in the back row, quietly stepping on the throttle to speed up the speed, and want to go back to rest as soon as possible. She also doesn't want to be late for training tomorrow. Although the Orientals who train them will not punish them, a firefly's staff often monitors their performances at the training site. Although he didn't say it on his mouth, after seeing Jurassic Park, he was shocked, and Charlie also had more expectations for their upcoming "Jianjiao".
Since it is the movie written by the guy, even if it is not comparable to Jurassic Park, it will definitely be very good.
Compared with the three girls who are still relaxed after watching the movie, this night, many people are not so relaxed.
On a street in Beverly Hills, Michael Eisner also walked out of the cinema in about the same time. Although in a call with Eric, Eisner said that he would participate in the screening of Jurassic Park. Yes, although the fireflies later sent people an invitation, Michael Eisner was still looking for an excuse to take it off. However, not participating in the screening did not mean that he did not care about the film "Jurassic Park". As early as "Jurassic Park" just started pre-selling tickets, he asked the assistant to help him book the movie at midnight. ticket.
Ordinary fans basically regard the process of watching movies as an entertainment. After reading it, they are very addicted, but Michael Eisner has seen deeper things from Jurassic Park. The plot structure of the film is of course very good, but this is not the biggest concern of Michael Eisner. Hollywood does not lack the scriptwriter who can write a good script, nor does it lack the director who can make a good script to make a good movie. He is most concerned about it. It is also the special effect level of Jurassic Park. A year ago, Tornado just opened a window, then Michael Eisner is sure. The birth of Jurassic Park will completely open the door to a new era of special effects movies. If Hollywood studios want to survive and achieve better development, they will only follow the trend of this era. Firefly film industry will undoubtedly become the leader in this era.
I am thinking about these things. Michael Eisner stood on the side of the road for a while, and a middle-aged man who was in a hurry quickly came over, with another pair of men and women behind him.
"Mr. Eisner," the middle-aged man greeted and was about to introduce. Michael Eisner waved his hand and said, "How is the result?"
The middle-aged man made a look at the young man on the left hand side. The young man opened a folder and handed a piece of paper to Michael Eisner. He said, "Mr. Eisner. Our company is finished according to your instructions. According to the statistics of 100 Jurassic Park screening halls in Los Angeles, these are 200-seat venues. According to statistics, the average number of viewers in 100 screening halls is 159, and the attendance rate is 79.5%. At around $1,500," the young man looked up and looked at Michael Eisner's face, and he looked at him. I continued: "With the density of cinemas in Los Angeles, we expect this attendance rate to be relatively low across the country. Therefore, our company's total box office for the Jurassic Park midnight field is expected to be $4.5 million."
The young man said it here. Then he stopped and waited for Michael Eisner to continue.
Michael Eisner whispered the number of $4.5 million, and asked as if he was uncertain: "Before that, which movie was the highest record at the midnight box office?"
The young man did not hesitate and blurted out: "The first part of "Batman" four years ago, $2.21 million. However, "Batman" has only 2,200 open screens."
Michael Eisner heard that the last words of the youth may be to please or comfort himself, but he did not feel the comfort of the moment. Simply calculate and find out that Batman’s midnight single box office is also Only $1,000, which is one-third less than Jurassic Park. If you want to compare the size of the fans, the fans of Batman’s serialization in North America for decades will definitely far exceed the novels of Jurassic Park. Therefore, the beautiful midnight performance of Jurassic Park is certainly not as simple as the fans alone.
Moreover, Michael Eisner vaguely remembered that the first week of "Batman" first box office was about 60 million four years ago, and the midnight scene of "Jurassic Park" directly turned the record set by "Batman" More than doubled, then, what will be the first week of the Jurassic Park box office? For some time to come, what will be the box office potential of Jurassic Park?
Perhaps, billions of dollars is not necessarily the ultimate limit of the film.
Standing for a few minutes, the cold night in the middle of the night gently swept the body, Michael Eisner only came back, told the middle-aged man: "Mark, let the company planning department always pay attention to "Jurassic Park "All the information in the subsequent release process, I will see detailed reports every day. In addition, within a week, let them come up with an analysis report of the "Jurassic Park" pre-announcement means to tell me, tell Crist, the little tricks he used to play, I can never be jealous, but this is his last chance. If the report after a week can't satisfy me, he can pack things and leave."
"I know, Mr. Eisner," the middle-aged man nodded, and the young men and women who were just a staff member of a data survey company consciously bowed down slightly, pretending to be absent-minded, apparently not wanting to be big. The group’s internal struggles are involved.
Michael Eisner whispered something to the middle-aged man, and then he got into a black car and went away.
In the same period of time, there was a similar incident in the corner of the Hollywood Center in Los Angeles. Although the top executives of several film companies did not necessarily have the intention of Michael Eisner, they also put their minds in this piece. In fact.
After listening to the news from Cello's ceo Mario Casal, the mood can only be described as frustration. The failure of "The Bear Mountain" has become a foregone conclusion. Originally Mario Casal also looks forward to the next week's "The Last Action Hero" by Arnold Schwarzenegger will be turned over. But "Jurassic Park" is so imposing, the midnight box office not only overturned Hollywood's midnight box office record, but also doubled the number, then next week under the influence of Jurassic Park. The Last Action Hero estimates that it is difficult to get good grades.
The total investment of the two films, "The Bear Mountain" and "The Last Action Hero", is more than $150 million, which is exactly twice that of Jurassic Park, even though both movies are on the streets because The funds are all from outsiders and will not have much impact on Mario Casal’s personal assets. But with such a huge loss of funds, it will be harder for Karlock Pictures to get large sums of money from investors in the future.
Under heavy feelings, Mario Casal also forgot the time. She couldn't help but pick up the phone and dialed the call of MGM President John Cali. When the voice of the beep sounded, Mario Casa Only then realized that it was already more than two in the morning, just about to hang up the phone, and the other side was already connected.
John Cali, who was on the phone, was obviously not in a good mood. MGM raised $60 million in funding for the two films. I was going to let go, but I didn't expect to encounter the rampant behemoth of Jurassic Park.
Now that the expenses have been spent, the screening contract with the theater has already been signed, and the 2000 screens have been confirmed. There is no possibility of delaying the schedule. After Eric’s warning, Carlos and MGM did not dare to play any more. After all, nothing was done, and it could be delayed, if it angered the fireflies. That may face bankruptcy in minutes, and with the box office potential of Jurassic Park, the little means of not being influential will not play any role. Hollywood has not heard of which big movie is released midway because The scandal caused the box office to turn sharply.
Both Mario Casal and John Kali spoke a few words on the phone. I just hang up the phone.
The next day, the Jurassic Park midnight box office was released, and the result of $4.59 million immediately caused a stir in the US media. In addition to the conservative film critics, "Jurassic Park" will bring a game. In addition to the catastrophic changes in film art, more than 90% of the media have praised Jurassic Park. Everyone knows whether it is the quality of the film itself. Or the commercial value of its performance is not anything to be picky about, and the smashing of the bones in the egg will only be ridiculed.
In this piece of jubilation, the single-day box office of Jurassic Park in the next few days has also been released.
On June 4, Friday, 21 million.
On Saturday, June 5, 24 million.
On June 6, Sunday, 22 million.
This series of box office data, in the eyes of the industry, can only be described as a heartbreaking madness, because more than 80% of Hollywood can enter the cinema's large-scale movie, the total box office may not be more than 20 million US dollars.
Therefore, when the first weekend of the Jurassic Park's more than $71 million (the first three days of the first day and the midnight) was released, most of the American media that had been shocked by the chin could only numbly scream: Wow!
At the same time, the United Kingdom also released news, "Jurassic Park" in the British Academy lined up for three days, the first three days of the first three days to get a box office of 11 million pounds, also broke the record of the British box office .
The news came that a large part of the media, which was originally called "Jurassic Park", could not get a billion-dollar box office, and some of the media directly changed the wind.
On the working day, Jurassic Park still harvested the box office at 3,000 theaters in North America at a rate of more than 10 million US dollars that day. There is no suspense. After a full week, Jurassic Park won in North America. One hundred and four million dollars.
At this point, Jurassic Park will refresh all the Hollywood box office records that can be refreshed.
The record-breaking 3000 first week draws a screen!
A record-breaking $4.99 million midnight box office!
A record-breaking $21 million first day box office!
A record-breaking $71 million first-quarter three-day box office record!
A record-breaking $114 million first week box office record!
Moreover, when several overseas box office market data are sent back to China, there are not many people in Hollywood who will doubt that Jurassic Park will not only break the $790 million global box office record created by "et Aliens", but also break through 1 billion. At the box office, it almost became a matter of nailing. (To be continued.)
