Chapter 41: No Pressure [Yesterday's Second Update]

came to the Internet, Xiao Ai didn't sleep all night for the paper, and the whole person was so sleepy!

——

"Stingy guy, you succeeded, you don't know how popular Lu Dao is, the entire 700-person theater is almost full. ”

Listening to the slightly exaggerated voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Tian laughed: "It's not me, but all of us, without you, there would be no birth of this book." ”

"I'm just an actor, you're the most important thing, and it wouldn't be like this without your script and without your directing talent.

To be honest, I was worried when the anti-war wave subsided the other day, I was worried that it would become a laughing stock for others, but I don't have to worry about it at all now. ”

"What are you doing now, why can I hear the sound of water?" asked Chen Tian with some curiosity, he did hear the sound of water.

Scarlett's face turned red, because she was taking a bath at the moment, she didn't expect to be heard by Chen Tian.

"I didn't do anything, you must have misheard the sound of water somewhere, I won't tell you, I'm going to sleep later, so good night." ”

Without waiting for Chen Tian to speak, Scarlett hung up the phone.

Looking at the foam on the water, he gently held a handful with both hands, and saw his graceful body hidden underwater.

Chen Tian shrugged helplessly and put his phone aside, and he continued to read the movie review.

After all, only a few people watched the film, and now more viewers have watched it and buried it alive.

The number of IMDB ratings has soared from 5,000 to 30,000, and under the 30,000 votes, the ratings have not only not decreased, but have shown an upward trend, reaching 8.2 points.

The score of 8.2 is far higher than the direct competitor of "Buried Alive", "Terminator 3", which has an IBDM score of only 7.0.

And "Buried Alive" on Rotten Tomatoes, although the freshness has declined, it is still at 85%, which also exceeds the 80% of "Terminator 3".

Compared with most of the good reviews of "Buried Alive", half of the reviews of "Terminator 3" are not good.

However, the number of screenings of the two films cannot be compared at all, so Chen Tian cannot predict the box office situation when all aspects seem to be superior.

The specific box office Chen Tian will not know until tomorrow, but he has already watched the news on the Internet, and many places have been full.

Although there are reasons why the box office started on Friday this weekend, in the United States, where almost everyone has a car, it is easy to go to the movies, but it is not easy to find a place to park.

Therefore, more and more people are willing to wait for the release of DVDs after the film is released before buying DVDs and then watching movies at home.

I don't care if I watch it two months late because of this, which is one of the reasons why the DVD revenue of the film will be higher than the box office, which has directly led to the total box office in North America not only rising very little but even declining over the years.

On the morning of July 5th, yesterday's single-day box office statistics were officially announced by the most authoritative box office statistics website boxofficemojo.

Although the results of the screening of "Buried Alive" made everyone feel incredible, no one can deny that "Buried Alive" was affected by the anti-war wave, and now that the anti-war wave is silent, how "Buried Alive" performs has become a matter of everyone's attention.

"Terminator 3", which was released in 3504 theaters in North America, reached $23,036,305 at the box office on the first day, and also successfully won the single-day box office championship on July 4, the only regret is that the average box office of "Terminator 3" failed to break 10,000 US dollars, only $6,574.

"Terminator 3" also ranked second among R-rated films released this year with this box office result of its premiere, behind "The Matrix 2", which was released in May.

This box office result is not ideal, but it is enough to be satisfied with Warner Bros.

"What about Lionsgate's "Buried Alive"?" Dan Fellman asked subconsciously, but in his opinion, the results of "Buried Alive" should not be too good, maybe he was lucky enough to be able to reach five million yesterday.

The assistant glanced at the smiling Dan Fellman and said softly: "Buried Alive" was the second place at the box office yesterday. ”

"What? second place?" Dan Fellman's good mood was gone, he couldn't believe that burying him alive would achieve the second place at the single-day box office, and in his opinion, Legally Blonde and Breaking Bad Girl could even be in theaters for more than a month.

"Yes, second place. The assistant replied cautiously, already sensing the manager's anger.

"Specifics. Dan Fellman's voice was cold and emotionless.

""Buried Alive" was released on a large scale in 2,024 theaters yesterday, and finally earned $17,565,895 at the box office, with an average of $8,678.8 per theater. ”

Dan Fellman waved his hand, and the assistant fled out of the office.

"God, we actually got nearly 17.56 million at the box office. Jon Fittimmel was completely unprepared, even though he knew last night that it was difficult to buy tickets for "Buried Alive" in many places, he was still shocked by the data in front of him.

Although the box office of this large-scale release is far less than the 69,800 box office at the time of the screening, this achievement is already a huge gain for Lionsgate.

Not to mention that although Buried Alive lost the single-day box office ranking ranked second behind "Terminator 3", "Buried Alive" ranked first at the single-hall box office.

Just one first-day box office allowed Lionsgate to completely recoup its costs, and Terminator 3 also felt a lot of pressure.

In third place after the single-day box office of "Buried Alive" is "Legally Blonde 2", which was released by MGM nationwide for only three days.

Although the film schedule still reached 3,350 theaters, in the end, Legal Government only received $6.13 million.

In the case that there is not much change in the number of films scheduled for three days, the box office of Legal Affairs has not increased significantly because of the arrival of the weekend, but has shown a trend of continuous decline, and the box office of a single theater is only 2819 yuan.

It was followed by "Breaking Bad 2", which was in its second week of release, and although the number of theaters in the United States still reached 3,304, the final box office was only $3.65 million.

And "Finding Nemo", which was released for more than a month, earned nearly $3 million at the box office in 2,920 theaters.

DreamWorks' $60 million "Sinbad: The Legend of the Seven Seas" earned only $1.7 million on its third day of release yesterday, and a total of $4.5 million in its three days of release.

Rao is that many people predicted that "Buried Alive" might become a dark horse, but no one expected that this thriller, which cost less than $20,000 to make, would achieve such an exaggerated box office on the first day.

"It seems that we need to step up. Jon Philtimmel said with a smile, he didn't want to beat the series of blockbusters of "Terminator 3" in his heart.

However, now that "Buried Alive" has been released 1,000 fewer than Terminator, and the final box office is only 5.38 million less than "Terminator 3", he sees an opportunity to become the top box office champion on the day.

Chen Tian also felt incredible when he saw this box office figure, and this data far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, his expected goal was to calculate 20 million at the global box office, but now it is nearly $20 million in just one day when it is first released in North America.

Even if you don't count the overseas releases that will start as soon as next Friday, the final box office in North America is likely to exceed $50 million.

According to the original agreement, $50 million can get a share of $11 million, and the part exceeding $50 million will be divided according to 30%.

Not to mention that $50 million at the box office could allow him another 3 million each from ZIPPO and RIM.

As long as North America reaches $50 million at the box office, then he doesn't need to wait for overseas sharing to have at least 17 million in funds.

Coupled with the rest of the original, Chen Tian can afford the shooting of three films without pressure, and he can't help but get excited when he thinks of this.
