"Do you remember that?"

Judy's beautiful eyes glanced at Eric slightly, but there was something strange in her heart. She still vividly remembers a meeting last year, when she unceremoniously refused the invitation of the little man in front of her to invite her to dinner under the pretext of honoring the gambling contract with her. I didn't expect that a year later, I still couldn't escape the clutches of this guy.

"Of course," Eric nodded, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, "how could a person of such integrity as me deliberately owe something to others and not pay it back." Now, I'm going to have dinner for the evening. ”

"You're really uncreative," Judy teased slightly, "just eating?"

"How about we eat at Sharp Corner Manor?" Eric said with a smile on his face, "After dinner, what do you want to do, can I still resist?"

Judy took a sip lightly, didn't agree, but didn't refuse, and said, "Don't be so indecent, let's talk, it's going to be published next month." ”

Eric also put away his playful expression, turned his attention to the draft in front of him again, and said: "The idea of an open-ended ending is very good, but it is a bit inappropriate for the ending to stay at Ryan's successful return to Earth, it is better to continue some plots, it does not need to be too long, but it must give readers more room for imagination." ”

chatting like this, the afternoon passed quietly before I knew it.

In the evening, Eric again mentions the afternoon's invitation, and Judy hesitates slightly, but returns to Sharp Corner Manor with Eric.

When she woke up the next morning, Eric was no longer around, but Judy didn't have any hesitation as a little woman.

I have always been interested in this shell villa, which has become a landmark in Los Angeles, so after getting dressed and washing, I left the exaggerated large bedroom and walked around the villa curiously.

Occasionally she would stop to look at the artwork on the wall, which she didn't know much about, but she recognized that some of it was supposed to be painted by the guy himself, but he took it out and hung it with those famous artists.

I laughed at him a little in my heart, but I realized that that guy now had this qualification, and her local gravity storyboard script was still carefully collected.

My thoughts were always inseparable from a certain little man, and I somehow remembered the bet he mentioned yesterday, and some things he had planned recently.

She already wanted a child last year, but it was only postponed for a year because of gravity.

Maybe.

It seems that there was no special protection last night.

She asked for it and lied to him that she was in the safe period. Now that I think about it, I also have some expectations in my subconscious.

After all, she has quite a few friends of the opposite sex, but he is the only one who can make her have some feelings between the opposite sex.

However, she was still a little hesitant about his identity, she didn't want to be suspected of any intentions for the eye-popping assets in his name, and she even looked forward to her children staying away from them in the future.

She has never been bothered by things like her livelihood when she became famous as a teenager, so she has a very light view of things like money.

If he can conceive, then, since he still owes himself a bet, he can ask to raise this child alone at that time. He has no shortage of women, and he already has three children, and he will not refuse if he wants to.

Thinking about these things, I unconsciously paced downstairs to the kitchen.

He was busy at the kitchen counter, wearing a light gray high-neck cardigan with cuffs and khaki casual pants underneath.

The man smiled at her, and walked over to the kitchen counter to watch him expertly chop an apple, and then noticed the bite mark on his right arm again.

The bite is crooked.

Inexplicably, she couldn't help but laugh.

Eric turned his head to look at the woman and said, "What's the happy thing that comes to mind?"

"No," Judy pointed to Eric's right hand, "Well, what's going on?"

Eric raised his right hand to look at his watch and looked at it a few times, his eyes showed doubt, as if he had just discovered it, and turned to the woman: "You secretly bit me last night?"

Judy rolled her eyes suddenly, looking disdainful of talking nonsense with him.

Eric was just joking, putting the sliced apples in a glass bowl, mixing them with salad dressing, and laughing, "I met a girl who thought I was bullying her, so she pounced on me and bit me." ”

Judy looked incredulous, and grabbed a certain word: "Think?"

"yes," Eric nodded, "I didn't know her before, she didn't meet me, the first time we met, and then it happened." ”

Judy realizes that Eric is telling the truth and wants to laugh at him, but remembers something else: "What about then?"

"Later, the prince and the princess lived happily ever after. Look, what a good man I am, and the worst story can be turned into a fairy tale in my hands. ”

"I've never seen you boast about yourself like this. ”

Judy gave the man a blank look again, not wanting him to think that she was paying much attention to his private life, so she stopped asking and stepped forward to help prepare breakfast together.

Prepare breakfast and come to the restaurant together.

There was a laptop on the dining table, and an email full of data was opened, and I glanced curiously, presumably the box office information of the movie.

Without looking closely, Judy sat down and ate the fruit salad before asking Eric, "How was the box office on the first day?"

Eric handed Judy a glass of milk, sat down and said, "$24.29 million." ”

Judy paused, and although Eric had explained something to her yesterday, the woman wondered, "Like, it's lower, right?"

If it were any other film, $24.29 million on the first day, it would definitely be a success.

But for Eric, this is clearly on the low side.

Eric shook his head and explained in detail: "2,000 3D screens, 82% attendance, $20.65 million at the box office. 100 IMAX screens, 100% attendance, box office $3.64 million. That's a total of $24.29 million, so do you still think it's low?"

Judy has lived in Hollywood since she was a child, and as soon as Eric explained this, she immediately understood.

Judy wasn't too surprised by what Eric said yesterday about the near-full Zero Hour Field, and many popular movies can do that. However, it is a bit surprising that the attendance rate can exceed 80% after the large-scale opening of the whole day.

"It's so high, it's a pity, if only there were more screening halls. ”

The two were talking about it in the restaurant of Sharp Corner Manor, and the outside world about gravity on the first day of box office had also been quickly hyped.

With $24.29 million on the first day, although the super high attendance rate has attracted a lot of media attention, the overall single-day box office of less than $30 million is still not qualified for Eric.

As a result, for a while, there were more and more ridicule and ridicule voices in the media.

Of course, there is absolutely no shortage of people who understand.

The Los Angeles Times wrote that according to the current box office trend, if gravity can achieve a zero decline next week, Eric's new film is still very promising to break through the $300 million box office in North America.

However, if you want to reach higher, you will have to increase the number of 3D and IMAX screening halls, but since Firefly Group has no relevant plans, this is obviously impossible in the short term.

Moreover, due to the limitation of 3D film sources, even theater operators cannot boldly increase the number of 3D screens.

At the same time, due to the total size of 2,000 screens compared to the total size of 36,000 screens in the whole of North America at this time, the proportion is only 5%.

Although the Firefly Group has achieved nationwide coverage as much as possible, it can only take care of the mainstream key box office cities after all, which inevitably leads to a large part of fans not being able to see the film at all.

As a result, related complaints soon appeared on the Internet, and traditional media keenly began to follow suit. In the blink of an eye, this incident has been characterized as a major mistake in the distribution strategy of Firefly Group.

Immediately afterwards, some media also took the initiative to propose that the Firefly Group open up the 2D version of gravity, and even some high-level leaders of the Firefly system had similar ideas.

While even the 2D version of gravity is definitely a classic, it can't compete with the 3D movie-watching experience.

Eric made gravity mainly to promote the 3D and IMAX film formats in advance, and naturally he would not give up this goal for short-term profits, so he did not hesitate to refute the relevant proposals.

Then, over the weekend, Gravity earned $22.35 million and $19.36 million respectively in 3D theaters, while the IMAX theater was still fully full.

In fact, the 100 IMAX theaters in North America have basically sold out movie tickets within a week, and there have even been scalpers with high prices in the market.

All told, Gravity finally grossed $76.78 million in the first three days of its opening weekend.

Between Jurassic Park, 007's Casino Royale and Iron Man, where Eric has already set a global box office record of one billion, this result is only about 5 million more than the $71 million box office in Jurassic Park's opening weekend six years ago.

If inflation is taken into account, Gravity's opening weekend box office is definitely the lowest among several films.

Although the 25th is Thanksgiving, most people still have to work until the 24th to spend a four-day holiday.

So, on Monday, November 22, the working day came as usual.

According to the normal box office law of most films, the weekday box office tends to fall by 60% to 70% compared to the weekend, and due to the overall downward trend, the four-day weekday box office is usually only 30% of the box office on the weekend and three days.

Based on this ratio, the theoretical box office of gravity in the first four-day working day may be only $23.03 million, and the box office in the first week is expected to be $99.81 million, barely approaching the $100 million mark.

Although the decline is likely not to be so exaggerated according to gravity's word-of-mouth, the outside world generally does not believe that the film will be able to break through the conventional box office decline limit.

Moreover, the media also has a very clear factual basis for the possible collapse of the box office on gravity weekdays.

After all, the 2,000 3D theaters in North America are too concentrated, most of them are distributed in mainstream cities, and there are not enough of them. Since the theater is ultimately in the hands of the theater operator, Firefly could not flexibly set up the distribution of 3D theaters evenly according to the size of the audience.

This already excludes a large part of the remote audience.

If it's a weekend, many viewers may drive to nearby cities to watch the movie in order to experience the effect of 3D visual spectacle. But going into the workday, there will undoubtedly be far fewer people willing to do so.

However, it turned out that many people still underestimated the box office appeal of gravity and the appeal of the new 3D and IMAX movie models to audiences.

On November 23, early Tuesday morning, the box office of the first day of the Gravity Working Day was released, which instantly shocked the world's eyeballs.

All day on Monday, Gravity collected another $14.13 million at the box office of 2,000 3D theaters in North America, compared with the $19.36 million box office on Sunday, a month-on-month decline of only 27%. In addition, the 100 IMAX theaters are still full without suspense.

As a result, even the media, which was very optimistic about the gravitational box office before, felt a little incredible at this time.

In this kind of shock and stunned mood, in the following days, the gravitational box office momentum did not decrease at all.

On Tuesday, 3D theaters grossed $13.99 million and IMAX theaters were full.

On Wednesday, 3D theaters grossed $14.53 million, and IMAX theaters were full.

On Thursday, 3D theaters grossed $12.27 million and IMAX theaters were full.

In four days, with the exception of a significant drop on Thanksgiving Thursday, Gravity has seen a terrifying 50% of the 2,000 3D theaters in North America attendance.

In the end, Gravity earned $120.33 million in just 2,000 3D theaters in the first week, and the other 100 IMAX theaters, starting at midnight last week, were almost all sold out, once again contributing $25.74 million to the film's box office.

According to statistics, Gravity's box office reached $146.07 million in the first week, far exceeding the expectations of all box office forecasters, including Firefly Group's distribution department.

There is no doubt that gravity has formed some kind of phenomenal movie-watching frenzy that surpasses Eric's previous three films.

Gravity finally came out at the box office, and the parties who were still waiting could no longer sit still.

Even on weekdays, with an attendance rate of more than 50%, the future of 3D movies is clearly very clear.

The major theater chains in North America completely put aside the 3D theater promotion plan given by the Firefly Group at the beginning, and began to contact the senior management of the Firefly Group as soon as possible, hoping to increase the number of 3D theaters immediately.

On the other hand, the brilliant market performance of IMAX theaters has also attracted the attention of theaters and Hollywood, which has even surpassed 3D movies.

After all, just 100 IMAX theaters in North America contributed $25.74 million to the box office of gravity in one week.

This means that, ideally, these 100 IMAX theaters alone would have a box office of more than $1 billion a year. That's already one-seventh of the current year-round box office in North America. But the number of 100 IMAX theaters is only 3/1000 of all 36,000 movie screens in North America.

Of course, no one would expect IMAX theaters to remain 100% full, but even if the IMAX theater attendance rate is reduced by 70% under normal conditions, the commercial report of IMAX theaters is still crazy compared to the ratio of total screens in North America to IMAX box office share as it continues to expand.
