"No questions asked, I'll get back to you within a week. Chen Tian hung up the phone and looked at MGM in front of him.

Warner's demands weren't too strict, but for Chen, the moment and the promise he received from Dan Fellman were completely different things.

Now that it's decided, he'll have to take the time to seriously consider how Superman and Batman choose.

"Justin, you're here, the theater is waiting for our answer. Eric Lomis said with a smile.

As he said, the theater chain is indeed waiting for MGM's schedule.

If they didn't trust Chen Tian's films in the past, now for them, Chen Tian's films have become the focus of the theater arrangement.

The current schedule of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is still the original film schedule, which is dominated by non-six major theaters, and this result is naturally not what the six major theaters are willing to see, so they hope that MGM can adjust the arrangement.

Although "This Man is from Earth" has not yet exceeded 100 million, it is already a film that has made theaters a lot of money in the recent film market.

No one will refuse money, and now Chen Tian is the one who can bring them profits in their hearts.

Last night, under the attack of four new films "Bad Dad Christmas", "Haunted House", "Missing" and "Timeline", as well as the six films "Cat in the Hat" and "Christmas Elf", which continue to be hot, it struggled to achieve a box office of 5.27 million.

Such a box office figure was only sixth on the single-day box office list yesterday Friday.

ranked sixth at the single-day box office, which is also the worst since the release of "This Man from Earth".

For Eric Lomis, however, this number is already good.

"Justin. Do you know how much box office you won yesterday?" said Eric Lomis, laughing.

"Yesterday?" Chen Tian didn't care about the box office of "This Man is from Earth" these days.

Eric Lomis had a defeated look on his face: "Justin. Have you forgotten your bet with the New York Post?

Or do you really want to go to Liberty Island and run naked?"

Chen Tian looked at Eric Lomis: "Eric. I'm just very busy these days, I don't have time to pay attention, I don't want to run naked, but your expression tells me that I should still be a good number. ”

"Justin, you miscalculated, yesterday we were only sixth, how much box office can you get with such a ranking. Eric Lomis said with some regret, and then looked at Chen Tian secretly.

"Sixth?" Chen Tian is not a fool, usually the sixty-one million in a single day is already very good. And yesterday was Friday, and this sixth estimate is best two million.

Chen Tian also knows that "This Man is from Earth" has good stamina, and the three days on the weekend are the biggest support for the box office to strive for 100 million yuan.

If only 2 million is taken on Friday, then the potential of the film has basically come to an end, and in the end, the possibility of exceeding 100 million has dropped a lot.

Seeing a slight change in Chen Tian's expression, Eric Lomis laughed: "Justin, it's not easy to see your guy's worried expression.

Yesterday we were sixth, but the box office was not a lot, we got 5.27 million, and now the total box office has come to 7884, and we should be able to break through 80 million today.

Then by next week, it is estimated that it is likely to exceed 90 million. Two more months of long screenings, so you don't have to worry about you running naked. ”

Listen to Eric Lomis. Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to lose the bet, although he himself regretted his impulsiveness afterwards.

When Chen Tian followed Eric Lomis to the conference room, the conference room projector typed out the list of films to be released in December on the wall.

The production company, distribution company, director, main actors, cost and schedule of each film.

"Sit down, Justin, the meeting will begin immediately!" Eric Lomis said, and sat down.

There weren't many people in the conference room, just five or six people.

They are all employees of the distribution department, and Chen Tian is not familiar with them.

"Heidi, the meeting begins, you can tell us about the films coming out in December!" said Eric Lomis, as a black woman stood up.

Released on December 5, Universal produced the youth inspirational film "Sweet and Spicy Dance" starring Jessica Alba, with an investment of 18 million and will be released in 1,942 theaters.

It's a film that isn't expected to be very high at the box office, but it will appeal to some groups, especially young men.

Released on the same day, Warner Bros. "The Last Samurai", costing 140 million, is a war epic blockbuster directed by Edward Zwick and starring Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise's appeal will play a big role, and it is a major Warner Bros. film that is not doing well this year, premiering in 2,908 theaters. ”

With Heidi's introduction, the December 12 situation appeared on the screen.

"December 12 is a release date that is more conducive to hitting the Christmas file, so on this day there are five films released, three of which are released on a large scale.

20th Century Fox's comedy "The Brothers", the cost of this film is unknown, but the director Ferrari Brothers is recognized as the first director of comedy in Hollywood, and will premiere at the same time in 3,003 stores across the United States. ”

"Sony Columbia's romantic comedy, "Love is a Compromise" starring Jack Nicholson and Keanu Reeves.

Priced at 80 million, the film will be an important part of this year's Christmas slot if there are no accidents, and they will be released in 2,677 theaters. ”

"Warner Bros. launched the romantic comedy "Love is Priceless", which is a film without big-name actors, the cost is unknown but will not exceed 10 million, and it will be released in 1,844 theaters. ”

Chen Tian listened to Heidi's introduction, and at the same time was thinking about when "Little Sunshine Beauty" should be released.

In the first half of December, it is mainly romance films, and the most heavyweight opponent is "The Last Samurai".

If you get into it in this schedule, then you will have to compete with many romance films for fans.

As long as the quality of a romance film is good, it can win fans. This is something that "Little Sunshine Beauty" can't compare.

Heidi continued. Chen Tian raised his head and saw the poster on the screen.

"December 17th. Warner's new line will launch "The Lord of the Rings 3", which is the most likely big winner in the entire Christmas slot, and will be released in 3,703 theaters at a cost of 94 million. ”

Heidi is not exaggerating, it turns out that "The Lord of the Rings 3" is indeed the strongest one in the entire Christmas file.

On December 19, Sony Columbia launched "Mona Lisa's Smile", which cost 65 million and starred Julia Roberts, and the main love will be released in 2,677 theaters. ”

"Here will be the most intense release day, December 25th! On this day, there will be five films released at the same time, four of which will be the focus. Heidi finished. Details of the five films appeared on the screen.

"Disney's 100 million action masterpiece "Peter Pan", aimed at children, is based on the famous novel and will be released in 2813 theaters!

Paramount's 60 million thriller sci-fi action film "Memory Rift", directed by John Wu, his action film has a good reputation and a unique style, and the male and female leading actors have box office calls, which will be released in 2762 theaters. ”

Chen Tian has seen this "Memory Rift" and feels that it is not bad, but the fiasco of "Wind Whisperer" and the fact that this film was not successful. Let John Woo say goodbye to Hollywood completely.

"Cold Mountain", with an investment of 79 million. Produced by Miramax Films and produced by Harvey Weinstein, Miramax hit the 2004 Oscars for Best Picture, released in 2,196 theaters!

"A Basket of Children" 20th Century Fox costs 40 million, this is a family comedy, the target group is families and children, will be the focus of the Christmas schedule, Fox has high hopes for 3,200 premieres. ”

"A total of 11 key films, the basic introduction has been completed. Heidi sat down after speaking, and the basic information of all 11 films was typed out on the screen.

On December 25, five films were released and four key films were released, which is enough to show the expectations of major companies for the box office on December 25.

It also shows that the capacity of the film market on this day is much larger than before, otherwise it would not be piled up in this schedule.

"If "Little Sunshine Beauty" is going to hit the Oscars, it is inevitable that it will be released in December.

Normally, most of the release dates start on Fridays or holidays, and "The Lord of the Rings 3" will be released on Wednesdays throughout December.

Choosing between the four dates of 5, 12, 19, and 25, I think we can choose the 5th, there are fewer films to be released, "Hot Sweetheart" and "The Last Samurai" are not our genre, we can win over a considerable number of fans. David Sterling, Deputy Director of Publications, stood up and said.

Eric Lomis nodded: "What do the others think?"

"I think we should release it on the 12th, three films comedy and love, and we are walking the plot and black humor are essentially different from them, on the contrary, the audience can see the difference.

I think it's better to be released on this day, and there is a five-day gap between the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3" on the 17th.

The Lord of the Rings 3 will bring a hot market, and we can also enjoy this benefit. Rich Green, another deputy secretary of the publishing department, said.

"Why didn't anyone mention the 19th?" asked Eric Lomis, laughing.

"Eric, on the 19th, just in time for the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3", and Julia Roberts's new work was released, this day was not a good choice, and on the 25th, four films were released.

This day is supposed to be a family reunion, comedy and family dramas will be more popular, and "Memory Rift" will grab some couples and fans who love the genre.

It's hard to make a big difference with our type of people who are not like them, Eric, I think the 5th is better. David Sterling replied.

"Justin, you're the director, and you're very knowledgeable about the promotional schedule. Eric Lomis asked with a smile. (To be continued......)
