After the film was released on a small scale, the first three days passed, and the box office results soon came out.

"Alyssa the Witch" won 2.03 million, 2.89 million, and 2.64 million box office on the 25th, 26th, and 27th respectively, with a total of 7.76 million US dollars in the first week.

The top six in the entire box office list are all super blockbusters, not to mention that even the three movies filmed in the back are not much different at the box office, and there are at least 2,200 theaters screened.

This shows how hot the market is and how fierce the competition is in the summer season at the end of July in North America.

"Alyssa the Witch" broke into the top ten at the box office with a schedule of less than 1,000 theaters, how difficult it is, and how high the income of a single theater is!

"Zhou Chen, congratulations, you chose to cooperate with Yijiang Films, and sure enough, their publicity has indeed created a miracle. ”

Early in the morning, Zhou Chen and Zhang Kejia had breakfast by the apartment, watching the box office of the movie, and they were very happy.

"Happy, happy, I hope the next few weeks will continue to be so good. Zhou Chen also replied happily.

"It's definitely no problem, with such a result in the first three days, our movie is definitely the rhythm of this year's big dark horse, you don't have to worry. Let's still look at the reviews of major newspapers, magazines and movie websites, three days have passed, and now there must be more people evaluating, the ratings should be stable, and some professional film reviews should also be available.

Zhang Kejia said with great optimism.

Zhou Chen knew that he was speculating from conventional opinions.

But he himself knew that this was not long after the movie was released, and the marketing point of the movie had not been exposed, and many people thought it was a real documentary, so he gave a higher or more consistent evaluation.

Once the marketing point of the movie is seen through and exposed, some film critics and fans who are confused to watch the movie are angry, and they may all give bad reviews, and the current ratings and evaluations will be reversed.

"I'm done eating, I'll read it to you, and you continue to eat. Zhang Kejia didn't see Zhou Chen's thoughts, so he immediately picked up the tablet and sat down to browse.

"Our IMBD rating has dropped a bit, from 7.7 to 7.4, but there are more than 40,000 people who have rated it. The positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes has also dropped from 72% to 69%, and the reviews of these two major North American movie sites are good, and now they have basically stabilized. ”

Zhang Kejia said as he said: "There are other professional film reviews on it, some excerpts, I'll read them to you?"

"No need, I'm done too, I'll see. ”

"Okay, you use this to watch, I'll use the computer to watch. Zhang Kejia agreed, handed the tablet to Zhou Chen, and got up to use the desktop computer in the bedroom.

Zhou Chen was not polite, took it and sat cross-legged on the sofa, and began to look seriously.

This shows that the quality of the movie is not bad and has been recognized by most people.

After a few glances, he found that some film critics and professional media had already seen the marketing methods of the film and wrote it in the evaluation, and he was immediately surprised.

"The real shaky pictures, documentary-style storytelling, and ingenious marketing methods make people think that this is the real thing, and the most worthy of this film is that it created a pseudo-documentary horror film. (The Hollywood Reporter)

"Ellesa the Witch" uses the trick of "lost videotapes" to make scripted films look like documentaries, confusing the audience about the authenticity of the film, and creating a new category in the industry. (Newsweek Movie Section Review)

"Elesa the Witch" uses documentary techniques to give every audience a very real feeling, so that the audience naturally brings into the real events, and the protagonists' every move tugs at the heartstrings of the audience, and it is also unique in the creation of a terrifying atmosphere, which will surely become a new trend in the imitation of horror films. (Wall Street Journal Culture Commentary)

Although the whole story is lackluster, the unique and novel documentary narrative method has created a new way of shooting horror movies, and it is destined to be written into the history of horror films in the world. —Time Magazine Entertainment Review

"The screenwriter throws a lot of curveballs in the script, and when you think the story is going in this direction, you will suddenly be shocked and find a surprise twist. (The Sun)

"The little-known actors and lack of innovative script of "Alyssa the Witch" are compensated for by the documentary-style follow-up, the shaky images and the fuzzy live recordings of the sensory stimulation, and the innovative format is worthy of recognition. (The Washington Post)

Seeing that these media pointed out the marketing and publicity methods of the film, they did not criticize it, but affirmed the innovation of the film.

Zhou Chen's heart finally let go.

If you think about it, this kind of marketing does have an element of deception to fans, but it doesn't seem to be much of a problem in North America.

It's quite like some sci-fi and apocalyptic films, just like the background and events of the fictional world, but this one is closer to reality.

If the audience can enjoy those films, then the current fictional documentary can actually be liked by the audience.

The biggest question is the production level of the film, whether it can attract fans and get their approval.

Otherwise, how real are so many gimmicky records, why are they released in theaters, and they are not liked by fans and receive high box office?

This kind of thing is actually a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.

Whoever really believes in such a thing as a witch is problematic.

Zhou Chen thought of this and became even more relaxed, and now that the Xuanfa Craftsman movie was made, he didn't have to take the blame at all, so he had nothing to worry about at all.

Now it's the end of July, the movie is going well, and there should be no problem next, as soon as Zhou Chen thinks of this, he wants to share this joy with his father and Gu Xiaojiao in China, so that they don't worry about it anymore.

It's 9 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles and midnight in China, so it's just the right time.

Zhou picked up his mobile phone and was about to dial it, but the landline in the living room rang.

He had no choice but to put down his phone and walk over to connect it, but he didn't expect it to be Dan Jeffrey, the deputy director of Lionsgate's buying department, calling.

After this guy couldn't cooperate last time, he was very angry and threatened to make him regret it, and it would definitely be no good to call now.

"Good morning, Mr. Jeffrey, don't you know what's going on?" Zhou Chen asked vigilantly.
