Chapter 397: Make up the first update, start making up the change today!!

The submission of Home Alone for review went very smoothly, there was nothing wrong with the film itself, it was a family movie, so it was assigned to the PG level. The reason why the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info was not assigned to the G class, which anyone can watch, was because the Home Alone was believed to have the nature of instigating children, so it was assigned to the PG class. Fortunately, the impact of the PG level is not great, so Lei Juewen did not edit and submit it for review again.

When Home Alone was released, the theater chain gave Firefly two options, before Christmas and after Christmas. Before Christmas, it was arranged on December 22nd, that is, Monday, and the number of screens was divided into 846 pieces, the reason why there are so many this time is because of the blessing of Chainsaw, the film of the same director, plus the results of Chainsaw, so that the theater has greater confidence. After Christmas, it was scheduled on the 29th, also Monday, but the number of screens was only 675, because the film had already been confirmed to be released on the 26th, and a lot of screens were divided.

The choice given by the theater business needs to be decided immediately, and before Lei Juewen returned to Los Angeles, a decision had been made, that is, it would be released on the 22nd. Released on the 22nd, if the reputation is good, it will be able to ferment at Christmas, squeezing the living space of other films.

Two days before the release of Home Alone, Saw was down, and it was released from all theaters in the United States before the night of the nineteenth.

Saw was released on October 31, and the next release was on December 19, for a total of 49 days. At the box office, the opening night was $1.043 million, the first week excluding the opening night was $46.518 million, the second week was $61.638 million, the third week was $45.697 million, the fourth week was $26.654 million, the fifth week was $12.642 million, the sixth week was $6.353 million, and the seventh week was $3.295 million. Seven weeks combined, that's a total of $203.84 million.

North America broke $200 million, and among the North American box office charts that have appeared so far this year, Star Wars can suppress Chainsaw, which is about $90 million higher than Chainsaw.

However, compared with the equally popular overseas box office of Star Wars, the overseas box office of Chainsaw Horror is a little unsatisfactory, and Chainsaw Horror, which has been released from various overseas countries since the third week of release, has been removed from many countries, and countries that have not yet been lowered are almost on the verge of being down. Although it is impossible to calculate the specific overseas total box office because there are still countries that are not downgraded, the current total overseas box office of Chainsaw is only about 113 million US dollars, which is much worse than the overseas box office of Star Wars.

Fortunately, there are still some countries where Saw has not been released, and when all overseas countries are released, it should be no problem to increase to $130 million. However, the overseas box office does not get much share, and some countries are directly bought out, even if it is a total of 130 million US dollars at the overseas box office, when it comes to Firefly, it is good to have 30 million US dollars.

Chainsaw Horror has been released from the theater, and the videotape of Chainsaw Horror can naturally start to be sold. For the sales of chainsaw horror videotapes, Lei Juewen is still concerned, after all, in the previous life, Chainsaw Horror had a huge profit on DVD, and now the DVD is replaced by a videotape, the reason is naturally the same.

When he went to the Home Alone premiere movie theater, Lei Juewen got three days of sales of the Chainsaw Horror videotape.

On the first day, a total of 1 million boxes were sold out, and the price of Luen Mei Pictures to the merchant was 3.5 US dollars, and the average cost of 1.5 US dollars of videotapes could bring a profit of 2 US dollars to Luen Mei Pictures, and one million boxes was a profit of 2 million US dollars.

The next day, the merchant continued to ask for goods, and Luen Mei Pictures gave the merchant 3 million boxes of video tapes, and about 2.45 million boxes were sold on the same day. On the third day, Luen Mei Pictures gave the merchant 3 million boxes again, and the sales volume before nightfall was about 2.3 million boxes.

There is no direct relationship between the sales volume of the merchant and the profit of Luen Mei Pictures, which is calculated according to the number of products issued to the merchant, that is to say, in the past three days, the videotapes sold by Luen Mei Pictures are 7 million boxes, and the profit is 14 million US dollars.

The profit of 14 million US dollars is only three days, and you can expect it later, and Luen Mei Pictures, Firefly, and merchants are very happy. Of course, the happiest is naturally Lei Juewen, Lianmei Pictures and Firefly are his industries, and 14 million US dollars is equivalent to what he earned.

Home Alone had a premiere, and this time it was much better than Saw Horror, with more than fifty reporters and film critics coming in total. Compared with blockbusters, the difference is the red carpet and big-name stars. There are still big-name stars Lei Juewen, after all, now Luen Mei Pictures is his industry, he can invite some stars that Luen Mei Pictures used to work with often, I believe they will not refuse, but Home Alone itself has no big stars, so Lei Juewen simply did not arrange to walk the red carpet, so as not to steal the limelight of Home Alone, and the next day the newspapers reported the stars, not the film Home Alone.

Although today is Monday, the holiday has almost begun, so the number of people who go to the cinema to watch movies will not be small. Of course, depending on the number of people in the film Home Alone, Lei Juewen in the premiere hall naturally doesn't know.

"Leonardo, you come and sit next to me."

In the cinema, Lei Juewen beckoned Leonardo, who was about to sit down.

"Thank you, Director!"

Leonardo was not polite, and walked to the empty seat on the other side of Lei Juewen and sat down. As for the seat that someone has already sat down on the other side, the person sitting is naturally the same in the United States.

Lei Juewen smiled at Leonardo's mother Allerine, who was not far away, and reached out to touch Leonardo's head.

"Director, I'm not handsome like this."

Leonardo stretched out his hand to stop Lei Juewen's actions.

"Hehe..."

Lei Juewen couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and stopped touching Leonardo's head.

More and more people arrived at the cinema, and one by one they sat down according to the number of their seats.

After a few moments, the lights go out, and the opening animation of fireflies begins to appear on the screen.

"Saw Horror's results are so good, I just hope that the results of the little ghost who have been ten years ahead will not be worse!"

muttering to himself in his heart, Lei Juewen looked at the screen seriously, waiting for the start of the film. In order to avoid not being able to catch up with the release time of Christmas, Lei Juewen worked hard and was tired half to death, if the results were not good, he would have to vomit blood.
