Chapter 347: Intermission
What does 400 million in three days mean for a movie? Just look at Fox's reaction, this time the promotional activities of "Avatar" ended in Japan and China, so the crew members had to fly across the ocean, and Murdoch directly used his Gulfstream G550 special plane to transport important people, and the plane will fly from Los Angeles to Seoul, South Korea, and fly directly to Beijing after carrying Cameron and his party - this is the decision made by the group boss himself, after all, who else can make decisions for him except himself?
Boarding this expensive plaything that cost more than 50 million yuan (Chris's private jet is much more pediatric in comparison), several service staff have greeted them with smiles and thoughtfully delivered a letter written by Murdoch himself, although the content is not long, just a brief greeting: "Dear Jennifer and Cesare, I am very glad that our work has achieved such results, I hope you have a good trip, and we can also find an opportunity to celebrate the success of "Avatar" together as soon as possible." ”
Staring at the signature of 'Rupert and Wendy' below, Jenny couldn't help but smile and put the envelope into her handbag, while Mary had already prepared to present a pen and paper, and before the plane took off, she also wrote a thank you letter for Murdoch: this set of Jenny herself is very slippery, saying that it is friendly and sincere, but in fact, it is also an investment in connections, maximizing favors, and trying to establish personal contacts. So if you want to say how impressed she is, anyway, she is not, Fox's performance in public propaganda caliber, she is still quite impressed, in addition to having good projects that she has to cooperate with in the future, she will definitely try to reduce the opportunity to cooperate with Fox.
Although the 2 billion rhetoric and the 30 million first day of "Avatar" brought Jenny a difficult period of public opinion, and also made her change her mentality and began to examine her mentality during this time, but from the perspective of company operation, its biggest role is to do a natural combing and identification work for the big dream, and the simplest way to put it is to let the big dream be sure that when the company encounters adversity, who is the first person to send comfort, and who is the one who is too lazy to do façade work. Someone who has obviously started to think crookedly.
After the box office was summed up, the first person to contact her was Robert, and he called at 6 o'clock the next morning and blamed her for Jenny's 2 billion, obviously the midnight scene of the movie. "Objectively speaking, it's not your responsibility for the box office success or failure of this movie, as you always say, it's a movie with special effects at its core, Jennifer, you really shouldn't stick your hands on the box office - even if your intuition tells you that the movie itself will make 2 billion at the box office, but as a director, James will still take most of the credit, and your predictions will only help him get to the altar, after all, in this movie, your performance is not the decisive factor. As an actor, you'd better not take the initiative to get involved with the box office. ”
Even if Jenny's prophetic advantage is taken into account, this is a very reasonable exhortation, and it also reflects Robert's sincerity - whether Robert is secretly deploying to regain the dominance of the big dream now, at least he is still impeccable, and it is all for Jenny's good: her performance is nothing to fault with, but the movie itself focuses on visual spectacle, and Cameron's credit cannot be taken away at all, as an actor, publicly predicting the box office is somewhat overstepping, even if the box office really reaches 3 billion one day, When summarizing the news, does the media have to put a small headline to introduce 'Jennifer. Jefferson had already predicted it, and God predicted that it would surprise the four?
Of course, Jenny's identity is not only an actor, but also multiple roles as an investor and producer, but the words must be said separately, as an actor with the highest coffee position in the past 20 years, you actually have a lot of freedom in what you say at the reception, and it is difficult for the filmmaker to control it, as long as you don't make some politically absolutely incorrect remarks, no one will be serious with you. But if you are an investor and a producer, then you, as a member of the behind-the-scenes staff, must have a unified opinion internally before making irritating remarks, which is indeed disrespectful to Fox: Are you serious about the 2 billion prediction? If it's serious, why don't you say it earlier, don't show us the relevant information, if you don't take it seriously, can you just say it casually?
is worthy of Robert, who likes to engage in intellectual thresholds, his exhortation is still so intriguing and full of deep meaning, Jenny did not taste the aftertaste at that time, but she still knew the overseas box office, and only after her heart was settled, she heard Robert's extraneous meaning, and therefore, she was not moved by Fox's merits in external speeches, but just made a note for Fox while reflecting on herself. ――It seems that although Fox and Big Dream are quite enthusiastic on the surface, if they have the opportunity, they still want to give Big Dream a bite, and in the future cooperation between the two sides, Big Dream's attitude is not too much to be wary of.
In addition to having crossed over a simple business partnership, after Dick's departure, Robert, who had a closer relationship between the two sides, called early in the morning, at 9 o'clock in the morning, after the default work time, Paramount's Brad and Universal's Adam also called, and even Sony's Michael called with concern, wanting to take advantage of this crisis to brush up on the intimacy between Sony and Big Dream, Fox's Jim and Warner's Jeff were all silent in the morning, and they didn't call until the overseas box office appeared in the afternoon. God knows what they did all morning-
"That's what he said on the phone, Jim and Jeff both called him this morning, and Michael, Adam, and Robert and Richie, who we should be most concerned about, didn't contact him." When the plane took off, the flight attendant brought a drink, and then pulled up the curtain and returned to their rest area, leaving them enough space. Jeanne spoke to Cesare about Brad's phone call in a quiet voice, but she didn't shy away from it too much - their entire trip was arranged by Fox, and if there was any question about the safety of the environment, there was nothing to say in the hotel. As long as we dodge some of the most sensitive core issues, it is not a big deal to talk about some of the information that has become a thing of the past.
After a while, Cesare realized that 'he' was referring to Brad. Gray, he smiled, "It's very reasonable, I think everyone who hates you will be the first to contact him." ”
"Really?" Jenny laughed too—but apparently, Brad had a very different view of the relationship, and he couldn't have been stupid enough to be picked up a second time to be a gun, on the contrary, after being cleaned up once, Brad was now completely honest, and although tactically he was still fighting for the company's interests in the "Mission Impossible" series, he was strategically completely appeased, and could even be said to be an active capitulation member, a veritable 'faction'. Not only did the phone call come early in the morning on December 19, but when the first week was over, after the crisis of Big Dream and Jennifer was completely alleviated, he increased his chips on Big Dream's side and confessed Jim and Jeff happily. But should we trust him? I'm not so sure about that. ”
"I understand your concerns," Cesare muttered, "but I think the timing of the call speaks for itself—I think Brad may have made up his mind early on, but he chose to call after it was all over, thus avoiding unnecessary suspicion on both sides. ”
Jenny nodded, agreeing with Cesare's statement that during the three days of December 19, 20 and 21, Big Dream's situation was actually more dangerous, and their emotions should certainly be very sensitive, and with Brad's relationship with Big Dream, should he believe or not believe his phone big dream? If you listen, how should you react? This is the problem, and now that 400 million has basically proven itself in three days, whether Fox or Warner has any careful thoughts, it should be dispelled for the time being, in Brad's position (he didn't know that Jeff and Jim actually didn't call Jenny), this call is the most appropriate time to call. And for Big Dream, this is also in line with their own cognition, letting them know that Warner and Fox are not busy in their own ways, and they don't pay attention to the midnight show of "Avatar" at all, and they didn't call Big Dream in the morning, they were brewing a gas meeting, and they wanted to dig a hole for Big Dream, and when the overseas box office came out in the afternoon, they let go of this idea and hurriedly called to congratulate them.
Of course, in business, Da Meng will not give up on vigilance against the Big Six at any time, but this is also a very valuable information - although it is a cooperation with various companies, but the way of cooperation is actually slightly different, "Codename SHERO" is that the global distribution rights are in the hands of Da Meng, Warner is just a share, Da Meng can even choose to sell the overseas distribution rights to Disney, and the right to settle payments has always been in the hands of Da Meng, which is of course very beneficial to Da Meng, and it also provides them with great convenience for falsely reporting costs. And "Avatar" is completely reversed, Fox controls the global distribution rights, and Big Dream does not even fight for the distribution rights in North America. As for "Fast and Furious" and "Mission Impossible", they are all released in North America by Big Dream, and the production company does its own overseas distribution, so that there are mutual checks and balances, mutual supervision, and many greasy things in the settlement range. And the fairy tale series in cooperation with Disney, that is, Disney's global distribution, in this regard, at least during Robert's reign, Jenny can still rest assured, in any case, Disney will not default on its accounts to its subsidiaries.
For Jenny, in the future on "Life of Pi", she will have to be extra careful of Fox, and the trust relationship with Warner will also regress.
Speaking of which, "Thinking of this, Jenny feels that she needs to pay attention to the overseas distribution system of Big Dream - the two films in the autumn and winter of this year have not been able to achieve global synchronization, except for a few box offices in Europe, East Asia has been postponed, China still has Jenny's face, in order to be regarded as an account-sharing film, otherwise it can only be released in the form of batch films after release, for this reason, "Avatar" was postponed to Christmas, Jenny did not call to exert influence - human affection is always limited, Even if China Film wants to give VIP treatment, it is impossible for all the movies starring Big Dream + Jenny to be synchronized for the first time, and adopting a preferential attitude towards Big Dream's sole proprietorship films is also Jenny's own choice under communication, "What do you think the overseas distribution of "Codename SHERO" should do, after the release of two films this year, how do you feel, do we have the ability to do global simultaneous distribution?" ”
Their topic jumped quickly, and there was also a bit of an intellectual threshold invisibly, although Mary was also listening, but soon showed a confused expression that couldn't keep up, while Cesare completely understood, and seemed to be clear about Jenny's thinking trajectory - Big Dream's overseas distribution ability will also determine their initiative in the negotiation of distribution rights, after all, it is still very important whether you have the corresponding qualifications, such as "Avatar", as one of the investors, Big Dream could have tried to ask for overseas distribution rights, But the premise is that you have the ability to promote synchronously and publicize in place, otherwise this will become nonsense, and you will not be able to do well if you are not given, and no company will be willing to cooperate with such a partner.
"In Europe, it's basically rolled out, and after last year, Bob opened up a lot of permissions to us, and in many places we can use the power of Disney, as long as we pay a certain amount of money to the local company." "But in some smaller countries, and in regions with closed cultural policies, our distribution system is not yet perfect, and there is no hope of doing a global accurate synchronization like Avatar, but Codename Shero can also try to go through a traditional global distribution that is mostly account-sharing." ”
If it does not refer to the connections that sell batches of films everywhere, but to really divide accounts, how can a global distribution and marketing system be the qualification that a cat and a dog and a film company on the verge of bankruptcy will have? This is a symbol of a large company in the industry, and it is also the goal of Big Dream, but as far as the current situation is concerned, in the case of Big Dream at most 2-4 movies a year, it is indeed not necessary to raise a branch in a country, at most it is to open a regional branch to coordinate distribution and marketing on all continents, but there are still many tricky parts, because distribution is not too difficult, and pre-release publicity and marketing is the problem. It's hard to imagine how a branch that is destined to be impossible to do a good job in marketing in 8 to 10 countries in a short period of time, which is basically impossible in theory and in reality - even if you are willing to spend money, just like Fox, most of the 81 countries I have branches or offices, not to mention the management problems and leisure problems, I will recruit all the people, just release 2 movies a year, I don't care about money, but for the real industry elite, It is impossible for them to enter this kind of distribution department that does not have much future, talent is a very big problem, and secondly, of course, there is also a management problem, under the current scale of Dameng, it is a joke to open dozens of branches.
This kind of practical concerns have made many medium-sized film production companies choose to abandon their global distribution plans, just like DreamWorks, which is not small in fame, but it has been cooperating with other companies in the distribution area, either Paramount or Disney, and has only opened a branch of Oriental DreamWorks for so many years. Independent companies such as Lionsgate can only maintain a few offices in Europe and other places, and for some wild areas of the market, they can only choose distributors in the local country, and it takes time and effort to negotiate country by country.
Of course, this will affect the distribution effect, have they not had that kind of blockbuster movie for so many years? Of course, there is, from time to time, Lionsgate and Weinstein will have movies with very good domestic box office, and their rankings on the North American box office list will not be low, but in the overseas box office, people often find that these films with global explosion potential are not doing very well overseas, this is not a congenital lack of film themes, but a problem of insufficient distribution and marketing, but even so, because they have not been exploited by large companies, this is still beneficial to Lionsgate. Now the distribution commissions of large companies are getting higher and higher, even in businessmen, they will work hard to market after signing the contract, and the box office will rise, but in the end, the money in hand may not be as much as Lionsgate itself does, from a strategic point of view, Lionsgate would rather maintain the status quo, after all, the number of movies he produces every year is still relatively large, and raising a few branches will not let the population idle.
As for Big Dream, in fact, it also relies on hugging the thighs to get on the top, and it is all driven by Disney - at the time of "Twilight 1", their overseas distribution could not be mentioned at all, except for the European market, they were basically sold by batches, and then "Monroe" completely relied on Jenny's global popularity, which was popular before it was released, attracting the attention of the world, and Cesare led the team to be a global flyer, one country by one, in order to truly achieve 30 countries are account-sharing, and the publicity and distribution are also led by Big Dream, And the price of this is the skyrocketing distribution cost - because the overseas distribution of "Monroe" has squeezed out the manpower of the big dream distribution department, the overseas distribution of "Marley and Me" was directly sold to Disney, and Robert also showed Jenny the overseas distribution cost of "Marley and Me", which is nearly half of the savings compared to "Monroe", of course, the overseas box office of the two films cannot be compared, but from the perspective of the scale of publicity, it will definitely be more cost-effective in the short term to hand it over to Disney.
And, starting last September, they can use this method similar to digging into the wall to use the manpower of Disney's branches around the world. Carter" copyright conflict compensation, this is also the most direct benefit of Da Meng from last year's palace fight, next year's "Codename SHERO" can be like "Iron Man 1", "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" and other series of the first part, in two weeks the world will be divided into accounts, in terms of publicity and marketing, resources will not be too small, at least with the cooperation of Disney, Cesare does not have to play trapeze as much as last year, but also let him enjoy the treatment of the first part of the general A-grade movie series.
Of course, from the perspective of returning to the capital, in fact, it is most appropriate to sell out the copyright, because of Jenny's existence, this unpredictable film can be sold directly at a frightening high price in the buyout, and the risk is small, but at that time, Jenny was still quite confident in her box office appeal, she felt that taking the account sharing could not only train the team, but also get a lot more than the buyout. But now, her confidence has been shaken - however, after testing Cesare's mind unchanged, she has also strengthened her determination: if she wants to become bigger, if she wants to continue after 2014, the big dream must be to build her own global distribution team, and get rid of the influence of her previous advantages, in this case, the release opportunity of "Codename Shero" must not be missed, Warner probably had a solicitation mentality when signing the contract, so there are not many claims for rights, This is also the only opportunity for Dameng to distribute A-level productions globally in the short term, regardless of whether the movie itself is profitable or losing, this is a good opportunity to exercise, and with her fame, the marketing of the film is actually very favorable at the beginning, and the chances of winning are still greater.
This year's two films, plus an Olympic film, are big dreams of doing their own global distribution, although there is no need to start flying around the world half a year earlier like last year, but Cesare is still very busy before the movie is released, not to mention Jenny's side, the two met several times in a hurry, and the business was not discussed in depth enough, and there were many accumulated problems. By the time they had finished talking, Mary was already asleep in her seat with a blanket, and Jenny was quite sleepy and asked for a nap. ――It takes more than 10 hours to fly from Los Angeles to Incheon, and it is already past 10 o'clock in the evening in Los Angeles, and it is time for Jenny's biological clock to fall asleep.
"Of course, you can use all the facilities on board as you like," the flight attendant smiled sweetly as Jenny took her to the back of the plane, "You and your husband can use the master bedroom, in addition, we have comfortable guest bedrooms for your assistants, which are a little small, but they are comfortable." ”
At some point, the sound of walking and talking in the cabin had awakened Mary, and she hugged the blanket, followed the introduction of the stewardess with blank eyes, walked into the guest bedroom, collapsed on the bed and lived in the blanket, and seemed to fall asleep in a few seconds. And this puts Jenny in a dilemma - she glances at the smiling stewardess and then at Cesare in the couch area
"Uh, do you want to come and rest together? My dear? In the presence of the stewardess, she could only ask in a loud voice: if Mary slept on the couch, Cesare could have occupied a room with her, but now it would be very strange if she had the double bed alone and Cesare slept in the sofa area.
Cesare paused as he straightened his papers, raised an eyebrow at Jenny, and said flatly, "But you know, I basically don't sleep when I'm on a plane. ”
It's a good excuse, and it's basically true, but it also makes Jenny feel guilty: Cesare's difficulty sleeping in flight is an old problem, last year's trapeze was still a last resort, and Jenny was really not available at the time, she had been busy filming and publicity, but this trip to China was the result of her request. Cesare didn't have to come because she wanted him to cement his relationship with China Film so that he could build a strong relationship in the future, at least to get rid of Disney's influence as soon as possible in the box office powerhouse - when she completely forgot to think about the long voyage back and forth.
"Are you sure?" She asked unconsciously with some pity, which earned her the admiring smile of the flight attendant and the surprised look of Cesare.
"I still have some data to sort through." He said, "You go and rest, you don't have to have an alarm clock, we can discuss other things in Beijing." ”
"Your husband is really very considerate." The stewardess whispered and friendly, and Jenny could only smile back, stepping into the luxurious and comfortable master bedroom and closing the door behind her.
#
The Gulfstream G550 is the best of business jets, the noise of the aircraft engine is almost inaudible in the soundproofing environment of the master bedroom, even when she is thousands of miles in the air, Jenny does not feel the air dry, and the mattress and pillows are moderately soft and hard to provide excellent support for sleep, and she has indeed had a busy and tired day - however, after tossing and turning on the pillow for a while, she can't develop a sense of sleep.
'Are you sure?' Repeating her question in her head, she almost wanted to slap herself: How could she ask such a stupid question? And from the bottom of his heart, what could Cesare answer other than to be sure? If he wasn't sure, was he going to come into the room and sleep with her now?
Of course, in front of the flight attendant, it is not too much of a problem to ask more, and even Cesare may not notice that something is wrong, but only see it as a manifestation of her acting skills, but Jenny can't deceive herself to this point, at least she can't ignore the difference between Josh and Cesare: if the person sitting here today is Josh, then she will never ask 'Are you sure', even if she wakes Mary up, lets her sleep in the master bedroom with her, and lets Josh sleep in the guest bedroom, she will not let Josh share a bed with her. After all, the atmosphere was too ambiguous, and it was too much of a line for Jenny, and she really couldn't stand it.
'Are you sure?' Picking up a pillow and pressing it to her ear, she rolled over in annoyance - it wasn't the first time she had lost control in a few days, and so had the previous question to Mary, and she wanted to slap herself in the face in retrospect: it was a very illogical question, and she and Cesare had already agreed that in order to stay in front of the media, they must always maintain a state of strong communication, and if he had any private romantic relationship in the meantime, he would have told her, Jeanne didn't need to ask Mary at all, unless she didn't trust Cesare at all. Besides, why does she care about this? This is not a category that she can care about at all, and it can even be said that it is already a little invasive......
After a whole day on the phone, her brain was running dry, and in her thoughts, Jeanne was unconsciously confused, and she woke up a few hours later, having no idea how long she had been asleep—and feeling a strong sense of guilt for Cesare, who should have gone out to change him after taking a nap, and who might have been able to fall asleep in such a comfortable environment, and who had slept happily on the couch outside.
After a little washing, she put on her coat and walked out of the bedroom - the cabin was still sunny, flying from west to east, and they had been chasing the sun, which made Jenny uncomfortable, but Cesare still couldn't see tiredness, only a cup of coffee at hand suggested that he wasn't really a robot.
"Early." Without looking up, he said, "Would you like to have some breakfast?" ”
"Not very hungry, do you want to take a break?" Jenny asked.
Cesare shook his head, he drank half a cup of coffee in one go, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips, and opened a new document on his computer. "Continue?"
His businesslike attitude made her feel a lot more comfortable, Jenny slapped her face, poured down a glass of ice water, and sat down in her old seat again, "Okay, go on-what we were supposed to talk about-"
"It's about the box office of "Avatar", the decline in your appeal at the box office in North America," he said in an objective tone, but Jenny still couldn't help but wince in hurt, "And the movie arrangement after this, I think you should also have a basic understanding - your fans are very loyal, but they are also picky enough, when they walk into the cinema, they are not counting on not only a good movie, but a good movie that you perform quite well, and the two are almost indispensable." So after "Nine", the midnight premiere of "Avatar" saw a more obvious decline. ”
He paused, took another sip of his coffee, and Jenny couldn't have reacted other than nodding her head - Cesare was basically the same as she had known, and she added voluntarily, "and my performance in 'Avatar' wasn't very good." ”
"In my opinion, your performance is actually very high, this is your first attempt at facial capture starring, but in terms of emotional transmission, you have already worked with Andy. Hawkins is on par, and even because of the bonus of appearance, it can be said that he is better than him to some extent. Cesare shook his head, "But for the audience, this is a fact that they will only notice after their third and fourth viewing, and when they watch the film for the first time and the second time, their attention will be occupied by special effects, even if you perform live-action and your acting is fully open, in the space that the plot gives you, your performance is not destined to blur the focus." So, for those who pay attention to Jennifer's performance, "Monroe" is a huge plus, while "Nine" and "Avatar" both have varying degrees of minus. This kind of damage is indeed very intuitive, but it is often overseas, maybe there is a delayed effect, maybe it is not stimulated by Weinstein's excessive consumption, so even if there is such a trend, it has not yet manifested itself. - This is how difficult it is for an actor to maintain the peak of his career, you have to fight against the laws of nature, at first glance, you have a very strong audience base, but to maintain this, you have to keep surprising the audience, and if you fail in a row, then your influence will quickly weaken to the level of the average A-list actress - of course, it is still considerable, but it is not as high as it was when "Monroe" premiered, almost unbelievably high. ”
Although she had recognized that she was not a child of the plane, and that she was still subject to the laws of nature, it was still not so pleasant to face this directly, and Jenny couldn't help but wince, but still bravely faced her scars, "Yes, and we must also be prepared for "Alice in Wonderland" to further weaken the impression score - or maybe we can say hello to Bob and make the promotion of this film not focus on me, so as not to repeat the mistakes of "Nine"?" ”
"The promotional materials are basically put out half a year in advance," Cesare shook his head, "so the damage must have been done, and of course, it's not too late to start controlling it, and besides, Alice's performance is also very interesting, and it's hard to say whether the audience will be disappointed or interested." But there's no doubt about that, and if you want to maintain the current influence, Codename SHERO can't afford to lose, and after the success of this film, you can't choose the films you want, and you still have to follow certain guidelines. "Codename Shero" is just the first step, you have already disappointed the audience twice, "Alice" is better just but not lost, so we had better have a few movies in a row, all of which are excellent plots and performances, so as to stop your falling curve and maintain your box office dominance in North America, so you are scheduled to take the next Salvi after this. Produced by Tuqi, I suggest you better ......"
The plane jolted slightly, interrupting Cesare's words, and the captain's announcement sounded in the cabin. Cameron, Jon. Landau and others will also board a plane at Incheon Airport and arrive in Beijing together on a special plane, where both Fox and China Film have arranged reception staff -- of course, the symbol of Chinese directors and the most well-known director in the country.
"Jennifer!"
"Jane!"
After the plane came to a standstill, the passengers boarded the plane, and although it took some time to refuel, Cameron, who had always been short-tempered, did not complain this time, and almost as soon as he got on the plane, he gave Jenny a warm bear hug. Landau was even more chubby—James grabbed Cesare's chin in front of Jeanne and kissed him loudly on the cheek, "Good boy, what a great girl, isn't it?" I bet your grandfather would be proud of you! Next time I'm going to toast him personally, just for his grandson to be able to bring Jennifer. Jefferson digs into showbiz! ”
The astonishing excitement of the old duo certainly surprised both Jeanne and Cesare, and Anthony, who followed them into the cabin. Ryan chuckled and unraveled the mystery. "You've been on the plane all the time, and you don't know it yet -- the Monday box office in North America is out."
Jenny has no idea about the current time, but they really can't use the Internet on the plane, and they can't talk to the outside world on the phone, calculating the departure time at four o'clock in the afternoon North American time, now more than ten hours have passed, and indeed Monday's domestic box office should have been counted a long time ago.
"How much? How much? She couldn't help but get excited, even though it wasn't much necessary.
"20 million!" Kevin who entered the cabin at the end. Riley laughed and revealed the mystery, "-20 million on weekdays!" It's only a 28% drop from Sunday, and there's no doubt about it, my dear - after "Titanic", James has once again created a miracle movie, and its trend curve coincides with "Titanic" - and if you use the curve of "Titanic" to calculate......"
He has always been polite and rarely gaffes, but now his cheeks are not only red, as if he is drunk, he is excited about what is about to be said, even Jon. Landau's breath also became heavy with Kevin's words - "Maybe, 2 billion really won't be a problem!" ”
The author has something to say: Note: The first Monday of Avatar was originally 1600w, a 33% decline, and it was very, very little, and the trend was very stable-
In addition, let me spit out, in fact, generally speaking, if you have basic box office knowledge or can watch box office news, it is impossible for film critics to say anything like 'this movie can't exceed 500 million', this is a forced IQ slap in the face, first of all, film critics will not comment and predict the box office, this is not their job, and it is not a bad movie The box office is low, specifically refer to the Twilight and Transformers series, these film reviews have a super bad reputation, and there are 50 shades of gray, but it does not prevent big sales. In other words, if you sell well, it doesn't prevent it from being a bad movie.
In addition, generally speaking, there will be a curve in the first week of the box office trend, and the box office analysis cannot be arbitrary, as long as you can watch the news, you know where the box office will fall, such as Marvel's Avengers 2, in fact, it can be seen in the first week that it is basically impossible to exceed the first part.
So in the following chapters, it is estimated that there will be no such thing as being slapped in the face, as the box office comes out every day, everyone's figure and tone will definitely be adjusted, and there will be no stupid person who is slapped in the face by the facts until the last moment.
Actually, I shouldn't say it here, but after reading several novels, it's like this, and I can't help it......
