Because of the disaster caused by the power outage, the plot has entered the most thrilling period, although many viewers have realized that something very terrible will happen next, but when the Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared in front of everyone with trembling footsteps, many people still couldn't help but exclaim.

The narrative has since begun to divide into several lines, and the way of multi-line narration is often very difficult to grasp, once the director does not handle it well, it may cause disgust because of the stiff scene switching at the moment when the audience is very interested in a plot, but "Jurassic Park" does not have a similar problem at all, whether it is the fat programmer who rushed to the dock with an embryo and was finally killed by Dilophosaurus, or the jeep squad that encountered a Tyrannosaurus rex, it all tightly tugged at the audience's heartstrings.

Countless examples have proven that if a movie is only grand or has exquisite special effects, it often does not necessarily get a good box office, but "Jurassic Park" perfectly combines the most extreme special effects technology that can be used in this era with the ups and downs of the wonderful plot, allowing the audience to enjoy a visual feast of the resurrection of ancient monsters, and also experience a bizarre adventure full of screams with the protagonists in the movie.

The two-hour adventure passed unconsciously, and the movie finally came to an end, when Dr. Zettler escaped from the dinosaur hatchery with his female assistant and two children, everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief as if they had escaped themselves.

When the subtitles slowly rose to the sound of music at the end of the film, most of the audience in the movie theater did not immediately get up and leave, but discussed various plots in the movie with their companions.

From the second half of the movie, the three girls have stopped whispering, but stared intently at the big screen, and at first they complained that they didn't get better positions, but then they found out. Because of the proximity to the big screen, the visual effects felt by the audience in the front rows were more exciting, and when the Tyrannosaurus rex was madly chasing Malcolm and others in the forest corridor with its bloody mouth open, some people even subconsciously made a backward dodge action.

After the lights were turned on, the reluctant crowd finally began to leave one after another, and the three girls also walked out of the cinema with the flow of people. Hearing a couple around her muttering that they must come and see it again if they weren't enjoyable enough, Kate looked at the other two women: "Charlie, Penny, how about we come to see it again tomorrow?"

"Okay," Penelope nodded immediately, and said with some dancing: "I watched last year's "Tornado" several times, and I thought that the special effects of that movie were already a miracle, and the scene of the five-level tornado is still fresh in my memory." I didn't expect to see more exciting dinosaur scenes in this movie, I must, I must watch it again, no, both sides. ”

The three of them said that they had walked to the parking lot, Charlize took out the key to open the car door, and said, "It's okay three times, but tomorrow is Friday." It's not a weekend, look at the time. If you can't sleep with excitement, you may be late tomorrow. ”

Penelope quickly glanced at his watch: "Ah, it's already two o'clock," and said as he drilled into the back seat of the car: "Go back quickly, I don't want to be punished for squatting on that horse, it is simply the most terrible torture I have ever seen in my life." ”

"What kind of torture is that? Didn't you listen to what Master Yuan said, if they were lazy in practicing when they were young, they would be punished for not being able to eat for a whole day, and they would be beaten. Charlize started the car and gestured with one hand to a thorn that he had never seen before.

"He must have scared us," Penelope said with a nonchalant expression, although her family was not very good when she was a child, she was only the daughter of a barber, but she had never been subjected to corporal punishment by her teacher since she was a dancer in elementary school, so it was difficult to understand what the fireflies had said for the oriental martial artist they had invited.

Kate interjected at this time: "It shouldn't be to scare us, I remember when I was in high school, I went to watch a box of oriental movie tapes with my classmates, I don't remember the name, it is about oriental children in ...... In the scene of studying acting in the drama school, those children are only six or seven years old, but they are often beaten and scolded, and they seem to be called strict teachers and high apprentices. ”

Penelope listened to Kate's words, and suddenly a narrow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked at her and said: "Listening to you say this, I understand what Master Yuan meant when he looked at you at the beginning of training, he obviously wanted to whip you, but he couldn't do it, and he probably felt uncomfortable to death." ”

", I'm not like you two who have been dancing for so long," Kate stretched out her hand and scratched Penelope's waist, although after more than a month of training, she has barely reached the standard, but there is still a big gap compared to the two girls with deep foundations next to her, so she doesn't like to be teased by Penelope and Charlize about it.

Although the streets of Los Angeles at two o'clock in the morning are still not deserted, but there is a lot less traffic, Charlize helplessly listened to the frolic of the two girls in the back row, quietly stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the speed, wanting to rush back to rest as soon as possible, she also didn't want to be late for tomorrow's training, although the Oriental who was in charge of training them would not physically punish them, but a staff member of the Firefly would often supervise their various performances at the training site. Although they didn't say it, after watching "Jurassic Park", they were shocked at the same time, Charlize also had greater expectations for their upcoming "Breaking Baby".

Since it's a movie written by that guy, even if it's not as good as "Jurassic Park", it will definitely be very good.

Compared with Charlize's three girls who were relaxed and comfortable after watching the movie, many people were not in such a relaxed mood this night.

On a street in Beverly Hills, Michael Eisner also walked out of the movie theater at about the same time, although in a phone call with Eric, Eisner said that he was going to attend the preview screening of "Jurassic Park", although then the fireflies did send an invitation, but Michael Eisner finally found an excuse to shirk it. However, not participating in the test screening does not mean that he does not care about the movie "Jurassic Park", as early as "Jurassic Park" just started to pre-sell tickets, he asked his assistant to help him book movie tickets for the midnight show.

Ordinary movie fans basically regard the viewing process as an entertainment, and they are addicted after watching it. But Michael Eisner sees something deeper in Jurassic Park. The plot structure of this film is certainly excellent, but this is not Michael Eisner's main concern, and Hollywood has no shortage of screenwriters who can write good scripts, and there is no shortage of directors who can make good scripts into great movies. What he is most concerned about is the level of special effects shown in "Jurassic Park", if "Tornado" a year ago had just opened a window. Well, Michael Eisner is sure that the birth of "Jurassic Park" will completely open the door to a new era of special effects films, and if Hollywood studios want to survive and develop better, they must follow the trend of this era, and Firefly Pictures will undoubtedly become the leader of this era.

With these things in mind, Michael Eisner stood on the side of the road for a while, and a middle-aged man with hurried steps quickly walked over. There was another man and a woman behind him.

"Mr. Eisner," the middle-aged man said hello, and was about to introduce him, when Michael Eisner waved his hand and said, "What was the result?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man on his left, who opened a folder, handed a piece of paper to Michael Eisner, and said, "Mr. Eisner." Our company has completed the count of 100 Jurassic Park theaters in Los Angeles as you instructed. These are 200-seat venues, and after statistics, the average number of spectators in the 100 screening halls is 159, the attendance rate is 79.5%, and the box office of a single theater is around $1,500," said it. The young man looked up at Michael Eisner's face with some apprehension, and saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged before continuing: "With the density of movie theaters in Los Angeles, we expect that this attendance rate should be relatively low nationwide, so. Our company's midnight show of Jurassic Park is expected to grossing $4.5 million. ”

At this point, the young man paused and waited for Michael Eisner's orders.

Michael Eisner whispered the $4.5 million figure before asking, as if uncertain, "What was the highest box office record at midnight before that?"

The young man did not hesitate and blurted out: "The first part of "Batman" four years ago was $2.21 million, but there were only 2,200 screens for "Batman". ”

Michael Eisner could hear that the last words of the youth may be to please or comfort himself, but he did not feel the slightest comfort, a simple calculation can be found that the box office of "Batman" at midnight is only 1000 US dollars, which is a full third less than "Jurassic Park", if you want to compare the scale of fans, Batman's decades of serialization in North America must have far more fans than the novels of "Jurassic Park", therefore, "Jurassic Park" Such a beautiful midnight performance is certainly not as simple as just fans cheering.

Moreover, Michael Eisner vaguely remembers that the box office of the first part of "Batman" four years ago was about 60 million, and the midnight show of "Jurassic Park" directly more than doubled the record set by "Batman", so what will be the box office of "Jurassic Park" in the first week? What will be the box office potential of "Jurassic Park" in the future?

Perhaps, a billion dollars is not necessarily the ultimate limit of this movie.

Standing in place for a few minutes, the cold wind of the late night gently swept over his body, Michael Eisner came back to his senses and instructed the middle-aged man just now: "Mark, let the company's planning department always pay attention to all the information during the subsequent release of "Jurassic Park", I have to see the detailed report every day, and in addition, within a week, let them take out a copy of "Jurassic Park" The analysis of the pre-publicity methods came out to me, and told Crist that I was not to blame for the little tricks he had played in the past, but this was his last chance, and if the report in a week did not satisfy me, he could pack up his things and leave. ”

"I see, Mr. Eisner," the middle-aged man nodded, but the pair of young men and women, who might have been employees of a data research company, consciously bowed their heads slightly, pretending to be absent-minded, obviously not wanting to be involved in the internal struggles of these large groups.

Michael Eisner whispered something to the middle-aged man, then got into a black sedan and drove away.

At the same time, similar things were happening in the corners of Greater Los Angeles, the heart of Hollywood. Although the executives of several other film companies may not be as attentive as Michael Eisner, they are also focused on this matter.

And after Mario Casal, the CEO of Carlock Films, heard the news, his mood can only be described as depressed. The failure of "Jeorasse Bear" has become a foregone conclusion, and Mario Casal was expecting Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Action Hero" to make a comeback next week, but "Jurassic Park" is so aggressive that the midnight box office not only overturned Hollywood's midnight box office record. And if this number is doubled, then it will be difficult for "The Last Action Hero" to get any good results next week under the influence of "Jurassic Park".

The total investment of the two films "Jeopardy Bear" and "The Last Action Hero" is more than 150 million US dollars, just twice as much as "Jurassic Park", although even if the two movies hit the streets, because the funds are all from outsiders, it will not have much impact on Mario Casal's personal assets, but such a huge loss of funds, it will be more difficult for Carlock Films to get a large amount of money from investors in the future.

Under the heavy heart. Mario Casal also forgot the time, couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial the phone of MGM President John Cali, when the beeping sound rang, Mario Casal realized that it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and just about to hang up the phone, the other end had already been connected.

John Cali on the other end of the phone was clearly not in a good mood either, and MGM raised $60 million for the release of the two films. I was going to give it a go, but I didn't expect to run into the rampaging monster of "Jurassic Park".

Now the publicity fee has been spent. The screening contract with the theater has also been signed a long time ago, and the opening screen of 2,000 screens has also been determined, and there is no possibility of delaying the schedule. After Eric's warning, Carllock and MGM didn't dare to play any more tricks, after all, they didn't do anything. can still survive for a while, if you anger the fireflies, you may face bankruptcy in a minute, and with the box office potential shown by "Jurassic Park", those small means that do not enter the stream will not play a role. Hollywood has yet to hear of a big-selling movie that took a sharp turn at the box office due to a scandal in the middle of its release.

Mario Casal and John Cali both said something dry on the phone and hung up in discouragement.

The next day, the midnight box office of "Jurassic Park" was released, and the result of $4.59 million immediately caused a boil in the American media, except for conservative film critics who lamented that "Jurassic Park" will bring a catastrophic change in film art, more than 90% of the media maintained a positive attitude towards "Jurassic Park". Everyone knows that there is nothing to find fault with either the quality of the film itself or the commercial value it shows, and forcibly smearing it with a bone inside the egg will only be ridiculed.

In the midst of this jubilation, the single-day box office of "Jurassic Park" in the next few days was also released one after another.

Friday, June 4, 21 million.

Saturday, June 5, 24 million.

Sunday, June 6, 22 million.

This series of box office data, in the eyes of industry insiders, can only be described as a sentence of madness, because more than 80% of Hollywood's movies that can enter the cinema for large-scale releases may not necessarily exceed $20 million at the total box office.

Therefore, when the results of the opening weekend of "Jurassic Park" of more than $71 million (the first three days plus midnight show) were released, most of the American media, which had already dropped their jaws, could only numbly exclaim: Wow!

At the same time, news also came from the United Kingdom that "Jurassic Park" was released in British theaters for three days, and it got a box office of 11 million pounds in the first three days of the first weekend, which also broke various records at the British box office.

When the news came, a large part of the media that was still shouting that "Jurassic Park" could not get a billion box office died down, and some of the media were cheeky and directly changed the direction of the wind.

Entering the working day, "Jurassic Park" is still in 3,000 theaters in North America at the box office at a rate of more than $10 million on the same day, and there is no suspense, after a full week, "Jurassic Park" won 114 million dollars in North America.

So far, "Jurassic Park" has broken all the Hollywood box office records that can be broken.

A record-breaking 3,000 screens opened in the first week!

A record-breaking $4.59 million at the midnight box office!

A record-breaking $21 million first-day box office!

A record-breaking $71 million opening weekend three-day box office record!

A record-breaking $114 million first-week box office record!

Moreover, when several overseas box office market data were transmitted back to China, not many people in Hollywood would doubt that "Jurassic Park" would not only break the global box office record of $790 million set by "ET the Extra-Terrestrial", but also break the 1 billion box office mark, which has almost become a sure thing.
