Explaining that Girl A continued to pay attention to the follow-up of "Warcraft" and discussed some other things, Alison left the study, and Simon looked at the box office data report of the past week in his hand.

From July 15th to July 21st, in the third week of the release of "Forrest Gump", the box office fell by only 18%, and it continued to occupy the top position in the single-week box office list, earning $38.97 million in the past week, and the cumulative box office reached $139.95 million.

No. 2 on the list of "True Lies" in the second week of release.

Because there was no strong new film on July 15, the box office decline of "True Lies" also maintained a very good 25% the next week, earning $30.59 million again, with a cumulative box office of $71.42 million.

Quentin Tarantino's "Romeo Stained with Blood" exceeded the general expectations of the distribution department of Gordon Pictures and the outside media, relying on Quentin's unique personal style and the good publicity of Goron Pictures, the film averaged nearly $12,000 in the first week, and the box office in the first seven days of filming was as high as $23.97 million, ranking third on the list.

As a crime film that deviates from the commercial mainstream and is rated R, because of the relatively saturated scale of 2031 opening screens, according to the film's word-of-mouth and audience feedback, the publicity team initially predicted that the film's first week will be between $8,000 and $10,000, with a box office expectation of around $18 million, and a total box office expectation of $50 million in North America.

Now, the box office in the first week is $23.97 million, which is enough to exceed the initial forecast of $6 million, and if the follow-up can get out of a more moderate long-term line, "Romeo with Blood" is even expected to hit the threshold of the 100 million yuan club.

In comparison, "Romeo the Blood" cost $15 million to make, and the publicity budget is only $10 million. $23.97 million in the first week, according to the rules of theatrical ladder accounting, just the first two weeks are enough for Daenerys Entertainment to recover all the costs.

Simon has no information about "Romeo the Blood" in his memory, which shows that the film did not make any waves in the original time and space.

This time, the director was changed, the script was modified, the production specifications were improved, and a group of big names were invited to make cameos, but I didn't expect to go directly to the classic level of film history.

The former Quentin should have relied on "Vulgar" to become famous in one fell swoop this year, but now, although "Vulgar" was taken away by Simon in advance, this time "Bloody Romeo", whether it can break 100 million in the end, the hot box office can allow Tarantino to get the original director's position.

Batman: The Dark Knight Rises ranked fourth on the list in the seventh week of the game.

Just over the past week, the super blockbuster, which fell into the $20 million range in its sixth week, fell only 13% at the box office in its seventh week of release, collecting another $16.19 million, for a cumulative box office of $332.47 million.

The fifth-ranked "The Conjuring" fell by 23% at the box office in the fifth week of its release, earning $9.35 million, and the cumulative box office successfully crossed the threshold of the 100 million yuan box office club, reaching $105.66 million.

At the same time, "The Conjuring" has also become the fourth film with a box office of more than 100 million yuan after "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Stargate" and "Forrest Gump" directly released by Daenerys Entertainment this year, and among all six films that have entered the 100 million yuan club in 1994, it is the other two "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "Speed of Life and Death" are also inextricably linked with Daenerys Entertainment.

Not only that, but count this week's list.

"Forrest Gump" in first place, "True Lies" in second place, "Romeo the Bloodstained" in third place, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" in fourth place, and "The Conjuring" in fifth place.

Five films, either directly distributed by Daenerys Entertainment or by Daenerys Entertainment in collaboration with other studios.

Basically, it can be said that the top five on this week's list are all dominated by Daenerys Entertainment.

Even if Daenerys Entertainment Group has been strong enough in recent years, this phenomenon of directly dominating the top five is the first time it has happened.

Films such as "I Love Trouble", "Werewolf Life and Death Love", and "Phantom Wizard" released at the same time were very obviously impacted by the movies produced by Daenerys Entertainment.

"I Love Trouble," which ranked fourth on last week's list, fell behind "The Conjuring" this week with a 39% drop and $7.43 million at the box office, ranking sixth.

Jack Nicholson's "Werewolf Love" also saw a 41% drop, with only $6.75 million in a single week, seventh on the list, and the film's cumulative box office was only $43.11 million, which has not yet reached the same scale as the $50 million production budget.

Paramount's new film "Big League of Brats", which was released at the same time as "Bloody Romeo" on July 15, only grossed $5.63 million in the first week of filming, ranking eighth, and failed to make any waves.

"Phantom Wizard" ranked ninth and "Beverly Detective 3" ranked tenth, with a single-week box office of $4.93 million and $3.13 million respectively, as the average museum is getting lower and lower, it is not far from the next grade.

At the same time, the new box office week that started today is the last small ** of the summer file.

The two new films, "The Line of Fire" and "Burning Pursuit", are full of weight.

The two major actors, Robert De Niro and Al Arsino, are ahead, plus a large number of powerful crime action films such as Fang Keemer, Jon Voight, and William Fidnell, which received a classic comprehensive media score of 8.6 points on the first day of large-scale opening, which is comparable to last week's 8.7 points in "Romeo with Blood".

In addition, the final production cost of "The Wire" also reached a blockbuster level of $60 million due to the joining of a series of big names.

Because the duration of the film is 171 minutes and close to 3 hours, the distribution team of Daenerys Films did not follow the distribution model of conventional commercial films, but gave 2105 opening screens similar to "Bloody Romeo", which is nearly 1000 fewer than the opening screen size of the blockbuster at this stage, which is generally close to 3000.

Harrison Ford's "Burning Pursuit" was the final installment in Tom Clancy's Cold War anti-terrorism trilogy, the first two of which were box office hits, "Hunt Red October" and "Patriot Games," which cost $65 million to make, and Paramount Pictures, the producer, gave 2,963 screens.

After reading these materials, Simon's first reaction was to worry about the box office performance of the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment so far.

Of course, not because it's too bad.

It's because it's so good.

From the beginning of 1994 to the present, all the films that have entered the 100 million yuan box office club are related to Daenerys Entertainment Group, which is completely a feeling of not giving other Hollywood studios a way to live, and now there is even an unexpected "Bloody Romeo", if this film breaks 100 million again, considering that there will be "Morgue Haunting", "Toy Story 2", "Strange Jack in Disguise" and "Suicide Squad" in the second half of the year, the top ten in this year's box office list are likely to be covered by Daenerys Entertainment-related films.

This is definitely not a good thing.

I can only hope that "Burning Pursuit", which started today, will be more competitive, or one or two more box office dark horses from other studios will appear in the second half of the year.

As for "Romeo Stained with Blood" and this week's "The Line of Fire", Simon quickly made a decision not to add any additional publicity budget, and the box office of "Romeo with Blood" should be suppressed within the threshold of 100 million yuan.

In fact, for this reason, Simon only approved a $20 million publicity budget for "The Line of Fire" in advance.

If the local box office cannot break 100 million, "The Line of Fire" will definitely not be able to recover its cost in China, but in my memory, the overseas box office of this film has exceeded 100 million, and the global box office is combined.

A classic crime action movie that lasts up to 3 hours, it is more suitable for family viewing through videotapes.

However, it seems that the plan can never catch up with the change.

The second thing happened.

Early Saturday morning, a film critic for the Los Angeles Times suddenly published an article called "1994 When God Wanted to See a Movie."

The title is all too familiar.

In the original time and space, 1994 was rated as the year that God wanted to watch movies, which year Hollywood appeared "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Vulgar", "True Lies" and a series of classic films that are enough to go down in film history, outside Hollywood, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Blue, White and Red Trilogy Red", "East Evil and West Poison", "Sunny Days" and other movies are also shining in their respective fields.

However, this time the article in the Los Angeles Times is not some kind of coincidence.

Because this is a statement that Daenerys Entertainment talked about with Amy Pascal, Ella Deutchman and other high-level executives in a joking tone at a party of Daenerys Entertainment after the release of "Forrest Gump" some time ago, although only half of 1994 has passed, but after counting, Hollywood and beyond, this year has indeed produced enough excellent films.

Regarding the idea of suppressing his films to reduce the number of members of the 100 million yuan box office club, Simon has only discussed it with Amy.

Amy, of course, wouldn't do anything more.

Then, Ira Deutschman, who has become more and more good at word-of-mouth marketing in recent years, took Simon's statement at the party to heart, and yesterday "The Line of Fire" was released, once again gaining a classic-level media reputation, and Deutchman quietly concocted this article to promote the saying that "God watches movies".

After the two blockbusters "The Line of Fire" and "Burning Pursuit" on July 22, there will be no other heavyweight films released in this summer file, and the follow-up will be the full time of the existing films.

Without the stimulation of excellent new films, the market will inevitably fall into cooling.

Now, the article "God Wants to Watch a Movie in 1994" has come out, and it has quickly become a hot topic.

In order to avoid the suspicion of self-selling and boasting, the article lists a wide range of items. The excellent films that have been produced this year in the United States and abroad have basically been mentioned, of course, the focus is still on Hollywood.

From this year to now, various traditional genres in Hollywood, such as "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Detective Plane Head" for comedy, "Stargate" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" for science fiction, "Life and Death", "True Lies" and "Burning Pursuit" for action, "Forrest Gump" for plots, "The Conjuring" for horror, "Romeo for Blood" and "The Line of Fire" for crime......

Well, while a lot of it is related to Daenerys Entertainment, it has been a fruitful year for the world film industry anyway, as if God suddenly wanted to see a movie, and so many classics appeared.

After the article was published, many newspapers, television and online media published similar views under the follow-up operation of Gaomen Pictures.

Affected by this wide range of social topics, many ordinary people who have not had the habit of watching movies for a long time have entered the film industry, and some audiences who have already enjoyed a blockbuster feast in this summer have also chosen to enter the cinema again in order not to leave 'regrets' this year.

As a result, with the continuous spread of the topic of opening on the weekend, there was an obvious movie-watching in the North American film market again.

The audience's emotions are easily mobilized, and there is an obvious herd mentality.

Simon's memory of many movies on the other side of the ocean that achieved box office miracles was triggered by the phenomenon after the audience was clearly mobilized.

Humanity is universal.

Even though the North American film market has a history of 100 years, audiences are still easily influenced by public opinion.

One of the most typical is the DV horror film "Blair the Witch" in memory, a mediocre horror film that most people are not interested in watching a second time, but because of the phenomenal viral marketing that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, it sold nearly $250 million at the global box office at a cost of $60,000.

At this time, Simon's first film "Lola Run" was also triggered by the strong topicality of his 18-year-old genius director, and finally created a box office of more than 200 million US dollars in North America.

With a lot of experience in the film industry, Simon has been instilling the 'event effect' in Daenerys Entertainment's team over the years.

Gaomen Pictures' "God Wants to Watch a Movie in 1994" can be described as another classic use of the 'event effect'.

Although the effect of the weekend when the topic first started was not too obvious, according to the data feedback of Daenerys Entertainment's self-operated theaters, the number of moviegoers on the weekend has increased significantly compared with expectations.

As long as it is done properly, this topic will not be a problem until the end of the summer season at the end of August.

Moreover, there is still half a year before the end of 1994, and the next Halloween schedule, Thanksgiving schedule, and Christmas schedule, as long as there are classic films, this topic can be mentioned repeatedly.

Taken together, just this seemingly simple topic marketing is enough to add hundreds of millions of dollars to Hollywood's additional box office revenue.
