Chapter Seventy-Six: Success Belongs to a Few

With the end of the weekend, the arrival of the working day made the box office of "Stealing Love" drop slightly compared to the weekend.

Monday's average attendance was 33, and the total box office in a single day was $55,400.

Tuesday's average attendance was 36, and the total box office in a single day was $60,480.

Wednesday's average attendance was 39, but with the expansion of the hype and the addition of 100 new theaters, the total box office in a single day increased significantly, reaching $283,920.

Thursday's average attendance was 40, and the total box office was $291,200 in a single day.

In four days on weekdays, "Stealing Love" earned a total of $691,000 in North America, plus the box office of three days last weekend, "Stealing Love" has a total box office of $889,320 since its release a week, just one step away from the million mark.

After four days of workdays, North American theaters finally ushered in the busiest weekly movie schedule.

Bevis Frank is a ticket seller at the Imperial Cinemas, Live Plaza Cinema in Los Angeles, and the weekends are the busiest of his jobs.

3 tickets to "The Silence of the Lambs", thank you!

Bivis expertly took the money and printed the ticket stub. It has been more than a month since the release of "The Silence of the Lambs", but the limelight is still unabated, and many viewers will still spend a few dollars on the weekend to see the beauty Jodie Foster.

The movie Bevis watched during a break, and it was very good. The gimmick of a beauty and a perverted killer has to be said to be still very attractive. The box office results that have just broken 100 million yuan have unsurprisingly made the film temporarily ranked on the throne of this year's box office champion.

Just after Bivis handed the ticket stub to the three young men, two more spectators came to the ticket office and handed the money to Bivis.

2 tickets for "Sleeping with the Enemy", thank you .......

Although the plot of this movie is not as good as "The Silence of the Lambs", the attraction of the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts should not be underestimated, and the box office has reached more than 80 million US dollars since its release for more than a month, slightly behind "The Silence of the Lambs", which has just broken 100 million, and is currently ranked as the runner-up.

While Bivis was busy making change and handing out tickets, a couple walked into the theater while talking.

"Tussaud, let's watch 'The Silence of the Lambs'! I heard from my colleagues that this movie is very good!" Frank said kindly, holding Tussaud's hand. Asking your girlfriend to watch a movie and finding a horror movie isn't it all a man's dream?

"No!" Tussaud shook her head. "Let's watch "Stealing Love"! My colleagues watched it, and their eyes were swollen from crying. Looks pretty good. ”

"Okay!" Frank nodded helplessly, Tussaud just likes to watch this kind of tear gas, for his own happiness, he can only walk to the ticket gate and obediently take out his wallet, "2 tickets for "Stealing Love", thank you." ”

"Hey, Tussaud, what a coincidence!"

Just as Tussauds was waiting for her boyfriend to buy a ticket, she suddenly heard a familiar voice and turned her head to find that it was her colleague Winnie. "Hey, Winnie, you're coming to see the movie too?"

"Yes! I'm going to watch "Stealing Love" once. Winnie laughed.

"Haven't you already seen it before?"

"See where it's enough. Winnie cried so much that she watched the movie that day and missed a lot of episodes, so she took advantage of her day off to come to the theater to catch up on it.

As the time pointed to 6 o'clock, the peak period of a whole day of movie-watching came, and the audience walked into the theater in twos and threes, and after a while, there was a long queue at the ticket office.

"Sleeping with the Enemy" 1 ticket .......

"Stealing the Sky" 2 tickets .......

2 tickets for "The Silence of the Lambs", thank you .......

3 tickets for "Stealing Love", thank you .......

"Stealing the Sky" 2 tickets .......

Bivis, who was constantly busy collecting money and printing ticket stubs, found that the number of viewers watching "Stealing Love" today has obviously increased much more than usual, second only to "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Sleeping with the Enemy", which have always had a good reputation.

This "Stealing Love" has just entered the theater, and Bivis has not had time to watch it, and now that he sees so many audiences choosing this movie, he decided to wait for a while and go to the screening room to see if he is going home.

Whether a movie is good or not, Beavis is very experienced in judging, he only needs to look at the sales data, and the evaluation of the film by the audience.

The audience is not a fool these days, they will not be generous for bad movies. If you accidentally look away and pay for a bad movie, you will definitely come out scolding when the show ends, so following the public is definitely the best choice.

As the time came to 6:30, "Stealing Love" finally started a new screening, and the audience walked into the screening hall in twos and threes. And Bivis also arrived at the time of the handover, and after handing over everything, he also walked into the screening room.

Upon arrival in the screening room, the New Line logo was playing at the beginning of the credits, and then the Crown Studios logo appeared on the big screen.

"Crown Studios?"

Bevis looked at the big screen and muttered to himself that this was the first time he had seen this sign.

"John Criss Deng?"

The director's name, Bivis, has seen it in the trailer and poster, and he knows that this is a rookie director, but he is not disappointed.

As a veteran ticket seller who has worked in theaters for more than ten years, Bivis doesn't know how many new directors he has seen his debut and how many directors have witnessed the process of turning from a rookie to a giant director.

Like James Cameron, his first film "Piranha 2" was released in 1981, the giant director was still unknown, and it wasn't until "The Terminator" in 1984 that the truck driver became famous.

The others are David Lynch, Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, Robert Zemeckis...... These people were all rookies at the beginning, but now, they have all become famous directors.

So it doesn't matter if you are a rookie or not, as long as you have the talent and strength to become famous in one fell swoop, it is just a matter of time.

Of course, the most Bivis has seen are losers.

In Hollywood, a vanity fair, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and climbed up. But there are far more losers than successes, after all, the lucky ones are only a few, and more people just come and go in a hurry, and in the end they don't even leave their names.

As the opening cast ended, the movie officially began, and more than 60 viewers watched Jim Carrey's performance on the big screen, letting out a cheerful laugh, and it was great for them to watch a comedy film to relax on their days off.

But as the plot of the movie progresses, the laughter in the screening room fades away, and there is silence. At the end, some female viewers even let out soft sobs, including Greel's crush Josie.

Since hearing the instigation of the radio host that day, Grell has the courage to ask out Josie, the female colleague he has always had a crush on. Now seeing Josie lying on his shoulder and crying, he has a feeling of pain and happiness, the pain is that his new suit was wet by Josie, and the joy is that the host is right, this movie is really suitable for watching with his crush.

Just when Grell was in pain and happy, Frank, who was not far from him, only had pain and no joy at the moment, his girlfriend Tussaud was crying, but she was hugging and crying with her colleague Winnie, which made him very depressed, thinking that the next time he came to see a movie, he would never come to this theater, lest Tussaud run into his colleagues again, and then he would not become redundant again.
