Chapter 280 Don't talk to the big ship about market laws

Wiping off her body and putting on her bathrobe, Kate Winslet walked out of the bathroom and into the dining room, leaning over Duke's cheek and kissing him gently as she passed by, then walked around the oak dining table. , sat lazily on the opposite chair, picked up a knife and fork, and skillfully cut the breakfast on the plate.

Honey, she asked Duke, swallowing a diced fruit. Is there any good news?

Last night, I gave up painting halfway through. Both of them showed the greatest enthusiasm. She also wanted to relieve all the pressure. The box office is sure to come out.

As one of the investors, Duke was notified early in the morning, got the relevant data, took a mouthful of oatmeal, and said, The midnight show is okay, $5.2 million.

$5.2 million? Kate Winslet can't help frowning. Compared to the investment, this number is too small.

Don't worry, Kate.

From Duke's point of view, the box office of this midnight show has made a huge improvement over the past. The two films that James Cameron conferred on God have not really exploded at the box office in a single day or a single week.

To be precise, from now on, not from popular comics or novel adaptations, but from original non-sequel films, the box office has never exceeded 100 million US dollars in the first weekend.

What about the evaluation? Kate Winslet continued. Professional evaluation.

Unfortunately, the professional reviews are very poor. Duke took a tissue and wiped his mouth, Except for the ten points given by Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times and Ann Honady of the Washington Post, Including Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun-Times, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter, Mike Russell of the San Francisco Chronicle, and David Denby of The New Yorker, among others, Only gave the film a five-point failure.

Unlike Duke's indifferent attitude, the laziness on Kate Winslet's face disappeared, as if she was in a bad mood.

Shaking his head, Duke said again. Don't worry, Kate. Their evaluation of you is still very good, and the target of criticism is basically focused on James Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Really? She didn't seem to believe it.

Duke spread his hands, Do I have to lie to you? The awards season is about to start. Let your agent and agency work with the crew, and maybe you can win a few acting award nominations for you.

heard here. Kate Winslet's eyes lit up immediately.

Poor little Li...

Perhaps it was because he was involved in a relationship, and film critics could not directly target him as an investor. They simply regarded Leonardo and James Cameron as punching bags. These two people suffered far more than the previous film. More vicious attacks at the start of the show.

After breakfast, Kate Winslet went to the balcony to call her agent, and soon returned to the bedroom. In fact, Duke and she knew very well. This is destined to only be a good memory. Since this is the case, it is natural to make the memory more profound and beautiful.

Soon, their clothes became debris on the ground again, and Duke pressed Kate Winslet's hands firmly on top of his head. Powerful charging in the wildest way, Kate Winslet's endurance and sensitivity are extremely excellent, and they are fully coordinated with his movements. The two went through the continuous battle last night. Also found a certain degree of tacit understanding, while enjoying the joy brought by each other. Also send each other the greatest pleasure.

At noon, Duke and Kate Winslet had lunch at the restaurant below and then drove off separately, a brief relationship destined to be nothing but memories.

After a short break for an afternoon. Duke re-invested in the post-production of The Matrix and continued to communicate with New Zealand in the preparation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but with his huge investment in Titanic, proper attention is also essential. Less.

As Duke expected, Titanic did not set off a viewing frenzy in the first week, and even many of this summer's summer popcorn movies performed a notch worse, but due to the promotion and distribution of the film. Enough work and not as cold as it once was.

On Friday, when it was released on a large scale in North America, the film's response and attendance were only mediocre. Even counting the midnight show, it only got $13.81 million a day, but on Saturday, the word of mouth of Titanic began to spread, and This is not word-of-mouth reported by media hype, but word of mouth. In the major theaters where Titanic is shown in the United States, the number of viewers has increased significantly. When the day is over, the single-day box office of the film will be significantly higher than that of yesterday. Growth - $15.95 million!

Titanic is not without its competitors, but like Starship Troopers by Sony Columbia Pictures released the previous week and Flying Magic released by Disney's Buffalo Pictures on the same weekend, they are not competitive at all. This film is barely a film with a bit of commercial appeal, but it is not enough to watch in front of the big ship.

According to the general situation, as long as it is not a fan-oriented movie such as Batman, the Friday box office of a movie cannot really break out because it is still a working day, and on Saturday, if the quality of the movie and the publicity are sufficient, There will be a small peak in the first weekend, and then it will start to slide on Sunday.

This is particularly evident in the reaction of non-fans to original films in particular.

However, Titanic didn't follow this pattern at all. After a one-day rise on Saturday, the film continued to rise at the box office on Sunday, taking in $16.88 million in one day.

On the first three days, Titanic won $46.64 million in North America!

If it were an ordinary commercial movie, this would be a first-week achievement worth celebrating, but in the face of the $200 million production cost of Titanic, it's a bit too unwatchable.

Titanic's final North American box office is likely to be between $200 million and $250 million, based on first-week box office trends.

In the rest room of the Duke's studio, the editing work had just come to an end, Tina Fey brought some of the latest newspapers and read it to Duke, This film still cannot avoid failure, this is a ship that is doomed to sink. The giant ship, perhaps Paramount Pictures on board will survive, but 20th Century Fox, Duke Studios and James Cameron will be doomed, I wonder if Duke Rosenberg is ready for bankruptcy ?

Zach Snyder put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile, Duke, if you go bankrupt, we'll all lose our jobs.

Is this a New Yorker review, Tina? Anna Prinz asked Tina Fey.

David Dembey. Tina Fey shrugged to several people here, his usual style.

The others seemed completely unconcerned, with a look of confidence in Duke.

Only the veteran Robin Grande frowned. He has worked hard in Hollywood for more than 20 years. He knows that no one in this circle can guarantee success forever, not to mention that Duke has never participated in Titanic from beginning to end. shooting production.

Duke, are you okay? he asked worriedly.

I'm not sure. Duke shook his head and continued, How the box office of 'Titanic' will develop depends on the box office trend of today, tomorrow and the day after, the three working days before Thanksgiving. .

Several other people nodded successively. If the box office of Titanic follows the screening curve of normal films, I am afraid that the cost will not be recovered.

Under normal circumstances, after a film is released on a large scale in the first weekend, the single-day box office of the next weekday will drop rapidly, and the diving rate can be maintained below 30%, which is definitely a very dazzling performance.

After the box office of Titanic was released on the first working day, it gave all those who watched bad films a hit. Compared with last Sunday's one-day box office on Monday, the box office only shrunk by 12%. $14.85 million!

The vicious attack gradually diminished, and after several days of fermentation, the audience's reputation for the film also spread rapidly. Starting from Tuesday, even if it is not a holiday or weekend, all chain commercial theater chains have found that in the theater, The number of moviegoers has more than doubled compared to the previous weekdays!

We came to see 'Titanic'!

This is the answer of many viewers when they are surveyed and consulted, and quite a few girls are committing nympho, We love Leonardo DiCaprio!

On Tuesday, the North American box office of Titanic not only experienced a reverse increase, but also increased by 11%, with a single-day box office receipt of 16.48 million US dollars!

Some people's glasses have begun to fall to the ground.

When Wednesday's box office came out, these people's glasses were all shattered!

Titanic seems to have only now shown its true power. Its unstoppable and completely unmeasurable characteristics of normal market laws have begun to be exposed to everyone, using numbers and accumulating box office as weapons , slashing at the professionals who have viciously attacked it!

This film reversed its growth again on Wednesday. Although the growth rate has dropped, it is still 8%, and it has earned 17.8 million US dollars in a single day!

Six days after the entire line landed in North America, the North American box office of Titanic totaled 95.77 million US dollars, and is about to break the 100 million US dollar mark.

Thursday is a festival with unique North American characteristics. Thanksgiving is also a national holiday in the United States. On this day, the number of North American theaters of Titanic from 3,200 was expanded to 3,358, and the number of mainstream commercial chain theater chains The film placement rate has risen to 68%, and the film has launched a charge to the vast and ocean-like market with a more rapid momentum.

On Thanksgiving Day, Duke left Los Angeles and flew to New York to spend the holiday with his mother.

The later work of The Matrix is going smoothly, and the market performance of Titanic has never been out of his sight. (To be continued ^)
