CAA is undoubtedly a master of promotional packaging, and even this aspect has found a reasonable and bright coat for James Franco.

"Performance artist? Yes, this is indeed an unknown side of James Franco, because in addition to the unique spiritual world, he is still a good young man who works hard after all. THE PEERLESS BUTT IN FLAUNT MAGAZINE LAST AUGUST REALLY MAKES PEOPLE WONDER ABOUT THE MEANING BEHIND JAMES FRANCO'S 'SPRINGY' BEHAVIOR. THE FIRST THREE SENTENCES OF FLAUNT'S INTERVIEW ARE CLASSIC, AND THEY ARE WRITTEN LIKE THIS. ”

"On my computer desktop, James Franco's ass was staring at me like that, as if he was about to fart in my face. It felt like it wanted to do it so badly, and it wanted to do it for weeks. But alas, this two-dimensional ass will never be able to choke on me. ”

The package given by those propaganda public experts is still freedom, and freedom is also the best passport for Hollywood and this country.

"There is no limit to the freedom of art, and since many people know James Franco in many ways, it is of course necessary to change the perspective. Whether it's for James Franco, or for the people who like him, this releases freedom, and freedom is a lifesaver for artists! ”

They have expressed their opinions on various websites that have this article.

"How can I not love you, James!"

Because of his personality, James Franco has always had a good reputation among fans.

"I used to feel that James Franco was a little unprofessional, but now I realize that this kind of non-business is really powerful!"

"James Franco is amazing! Support him! ”

"Yes, support James, support his new movie!"

As expected, how could fans not mention James Franco's latest work?

"My favorite is actor James Franco, and I will definitely support "Dark City" from the beginning of the summer!"

"How can you not watch a film like "Dark City"? James' character is so charming! ”

"I don't know where I can buy tickets for this movie now!"

"That's right! Does anyone know when the pre-sale of tickets for Dark City will start? ”

People are asking about this everywhere on the Internet, after two years of fermentation of "City of Chaos", coupled with the tireless publicity and marketing of "Dark City" since last year, more and more fans are paying attention to when they will be able to buy tickets for this film.

Three weeks before the film's official release, Twentieth Century Fox, together with the three major commercial theaters in North America, as well as Amazon, IMDB and boxofficemojo and other websites, officially announced the official start of the ticket pre-sale business for "The Dark City".

On the day of the opening of the pre-sale on these websites, in just over half an hour, the flock of fans paralyzed the ticket sales pages of IMDB and boxofficemojo.

"It's so disappointing!"

In the IMDB discussion group, a fan complained in the chat group, "I can't go to the website, and I haven't bought tickets yet!" ”

"Me too!"

"Me too! I'm dying! What should I do if I can't buy a ticket for the show in advance? ”

Daisy came out of nowhere, "You guys haven't bought it yet?" I've already bought two of them! ”

"Transfer me one!"

"Boss, let one out!"

"All I can say is sorry!" Daisy continued to speak, "The extra one was grabbed for a friend, IMDB and boxofficemojo can't be up, you guys go to Amazon and EBAY to have a look, maybe someone will grab it and sell it!" ”

A fan suddenly said, "Good news, IMDB and boxofficemojo's ticket sales page is now available!" ”

There was an instant silence in the chat group, and it seemed that everyone had gone to the website to grab tickets, but after just a few minutes, the previous people were all back.

"I'm @##@, it's only been a long time, and the tickets for the early show are actually sold out!"

"Less than three hours! There are more than 3,000 advance screenings in North America, and you can't even buy a single ticket! ”

Daisy also came out, "You didn't get a ticket?" I really sympathize with you......"

"Boss...... "Someone begged, "transfer a ticket." ”

"Even if I want to transfer." Daisy reluctantly wrote, "We're not in the same city." ”

"For Murphy and this Dark City!" The man swore and said, "I'm flying to Los Angeles!" ”

Daisy was speechless for a moment, so she had to say, "You better go to the e-commerce website and see if anyone wants to transfer the ticket after grabbing it." ”

"I just went to see it!" ANOTHER SAID, "SOMEONE SELLS TICKETS ON EBAY,!" #￥#%……”

The guy burst out with a foul language and said, "$16 for an IMAX ticket, they asked for $200!" ”

Someone else said, "There are still people on Amazon who sell it for $300!" ”

"Are they crazy!"

"It's not that they're crazy!" One person analyzed, "You see, the tickets for the early screenings were sold out in less than three hours, and the tickets for some popular screenings on the day of the release are not easy to buy now, and the film "Dark City" is obviously going to be a box office hit!" ”

"I think it's probably so." DAISY REMINDED HER TEAMMATES, "IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE SHOW IN ADVANCE, YOU SHOULD TRY YOUR LUCK ON AMAZON AND EBAY, I ESTIMATE THAT IN A FEW DAYS, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY TICKETS FOR $200 AND $300!" ”

"Hey...... I'll check it out, it's a big deal to nibble on a burger next month! ”

"I see if I can still buy it."

"I'll go too."

The group was quiet again.

As happened to the discussion group, on the day the pre-sale of "Dark City" opened, more than 3,000 pre-sales were sold out in the United States, and even the pre-sale of the first weekend was hot.

This situation greatly exceeded the expectations of Twentieth Century Fox and the three major commercial theaters, and after urgent communication, it was decided to add a show for "Dark City"!

Originally, the film premiered in more than 4,300 theaters, but after the addition, the number reached more than 4,600, which also created the largest number of North American theaters in the history of a Hollywood movie.

The pre-sale of "Dark City" was a hot one, and Twentieth Century Fox certainly didn't mind adding fuel to the fire below, and the news quickly spread by the media.

"Tickets for Murphy Stanton's new film are on sale three weeks in advance, and fans are buying tickets for 'The Dark City' in an extremely hot spot!"

The report in the "Los Angeles Times" attracted more fans' attention to this film.

Although "The Dark City" will be released in three weeks on May 3, fans eager to see Murphy Stanton's brilliant new film have begun to buy tickets online. Online movie ticket dealer Fandango said early screenings of Murphy Stanton's film are all sold out, and theaters across the U.S. will increase screenings at 3 a.m. to meet fan demand. ”

"Fandango started selling tickets for Dark City last Sunday, and Ted Hong, the company's vice president of sales, said: 'It's the peak of online pre-sale tickets. This kind of hot scene is significant, which shows that the film is wonderful and that fans can't wait to see Murphy Stanton's new film. Fandango conducted a poll in January about people's interest in this year's blockbuster, and "The Hobbit 2: Smaug's Wasteland," for which the trailer had already been released, ranked first, followed by "The Dark City." However, now Dark City has easily regained its first spot! ”

"Jeff Pock, an analyst at Exhibitor.Relations, a North American box office tracking agency, said that ticket pre-sales for Murphy Stanton's "Dark City" were predictable. Jeff Bock said: 'The film has been accompanied by an unprecedented wave of advertising such as viral marketing. He also attributed the boom in ticket sales to the inevitable result of "City of Chaos" dominating the online on-demand and DVD rental markets! ”

"According to Jeff Pock's predictions, the film produced by Stanton Studios and distributed by Twentieth Century Fox will inevitably grossing more than $150 million in its first week of release!"

Now, the question on every fan's lips is, can the film beat "The Avengers'" first-week box office record of nearly $210 million? "It's a hard record to break, but we want to break it," Bock said. ’”

In general, hot merchandise becomes even hotter when it is heavily rendered, and Dark City is no exception.

In the following period of time, North American fans discovered a sad fact, the ticket ordering phone could not be called at all, almost any call was a busy signal, turned to the Internet, the booking page on IMDB and boxofficemojo could not be linked, and the famous ticket sales website Fandango.com crashed.

In the first week of pre-sales, "Dark City" sold $63 million in advance box office in North America!

By the end of October, the film's North American advance box office easily surpassed that of "The Avengers", exceeding $90 million, setting a record for box office sales in North American film history.

The New York Times said directly in French: "The North American box office guarantee of 'Dark City' is expected to be $160 million in the first weekend, with a ceiling of ...... Suspense! ”

All this will be revealed after the release of the film.

On May 3, 2013, Murphy led all the members of the crew to gather at Lincoln Center for the Arts in New York, and "Dark City" is about to kick off!
