Chapter 49: 100% Attendance!

There was a knock on the door of the apartment, Zhou Shaoming ran over to open it, and the one standing at the door turned out to be Jon of Lionsgate Film Company.

Jon rushed up and hugged him tightly, which made the defenseless Zhou Shaoming at a loss, so he could only ask with a wry smile: "Hey, what's wrong Jon?" What makes you so excited? ”

"Excited? Excitement is a word that can't express how I'm feeling right now! Jon let go and danced with joy.

"Huh? Could it be that the first episode of Saw broke a million dollars at the box office? Zhou Shaoming also asked with some excitement.

"A million at the box office!? Hahaha! Jon seemed to have heard some of the funniest jokes, and he leaned back and forth in laughter.

"No, it won't! Haven't reached a million? Zhou Shaoming was startled and almost jumped up from the sofa.

"On the first day, with only a hundred theaters, we made nearly $2 million at the box office! 1 million? That's just a distant number! Jon wiped tears from his eyes and said with a grin.

It turned out that the box office of "Saw Horror" on the first day made the executives of Lionsgate ecstatic!

The first show of these 100 movie theaters around 7 p.m. was 100% occupied! 100% attendance for the second session around 10 o'clock! The last show at midnight was 100% attendance!

The average attendance rate for the three games was an astonishing 100%!

"Saw Horror" exceeded $1 million at the box office on the first day, reaching $1.92 million!

And that's just the result of being shown in 100 movie theaters!

This is clearly a super cash cow!

On SAW's official website, BBS, countless people are enthusiastically discussing and reluctant to leave, and audiences in other cities who have not seen the movie are anxiously scolding Lionsgate for regional discrimination and strongly demanding that it be released in the region as soon as possible.

Someone even asked for tickets for the midnight show that day, raising the price to $100 a ticket, but no one paid attention to him......

"Oh my! This, this is amazing! Zhou Shaoming really jumped up this time, happiness came so quickly, it really caught him off guard.

"I'm here to tell you that the company wants to increase the number of cinemas immediately, to 2,000, no, no, no, to 3,000! We must strike while the iron is hot and quickly spread it to every state, every city, and every movie theater in the United States! Jon's signature smile returned to his face.

"No, wait a little longer, wait until the hunger effect is more pronounced!" Zhou Shaoming flatly refused.

But no matter what Jon said or not, Zhou Shaoming just didn't agree, and the anxious Jon was like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting. Looking at the guy's pitiful expression, Zhou Shaoming relented, and finally agreed to increase the number of screenings in three days according to the requirements of Lionsgate.

Jon sprang out like a cross-blade railcar with the electric door open, and rushed straight to the company to announce the good news, and after a while ran back again, apologetically saying, "Get ready!" Our company has contacted Time Magazine, and in a week, when the box office surpasses $50 million, they will come and interview you! I'm sure it's a given! ”

"Time?" Zhou Shaoming touched his head, looked at Jon, who was in a hurry and ran away, and was faintly full of expectations for his interview with the world's No. 1 magazine.

As Jon expected, on the second and third days of Chainsaw, the 100 movie theaters were full, and the attendance rate was still an astonishing 100%!

Horror fans across the United States are obsessed with this subversive horror film, and the box office of "Chainsaw" is like a tsunami, climbing wildly!

The results of the first three days of screening successfully fixed on 100% attendance and $5.76 million at the box office, which caused an uproar in the United States.

A little-known Chinese director did not conquer the discerning audience in North America without relying on a fight-and-kill kung fu film, compared with the sensational "The Sixth Sense" released on August 26 and sensational in the United States, it is not inferior to it in terms of suspense, and it is even better in terms of Americans' favorite flesh and blood.

are all works from 1999, and they are all horror thrillers, so naturally, film critics will judge and compete with each other.

It's just that "The Sixth Sense" cost as much as $85 million to produce, and it invited super-first-class stars like Bruce Willis, and its box office appeal is extraordinary, but the most famous person invited by "Chainsaw" is Robert Downey Jr., a guy who has been in drugs for years, and has not appeared in people's eyes for several years. And Americans have always disliked stars who take drugs, which is not really good for "Saw Horror".

As for Jeremy Renner? The vast majority of American viewers still don't recognize who this guy is.

On the fourth day, when 2,887 movie theaters across the United States were opened for broadcast, creating a rare film event in the United States, home movie theaters were all full, and countless people frantically crowded into the movie theaters as if the horn of the charge sounded, just to catch a glimpse of "Chainsaw", which is the focus of discussion among young people on the Internet, full of suspense, gore and visual impact.

That's a completely different film from "The Sixth Sense"!

Crazy, crazy box office!

The box office results of the second week went higher and higher in the applause of the audience, and in seven days, 2,887 theaters handed over an amazing answer, and the glasses fell to the ground.

The average attendance rate is 77%, the single theater is $18,150, the total box office is $52.39 million, and the cumulative total box office is $58.15 million!

And how much did the filming of this "Saw Horror" cost?

Two before and after, the cost of filming did not exceed $2.2 million!

When the results of the first week came out, Zhou Shaoming learned the answer from the director system, and at this moment, he had waited too long.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the main quest this year, the current first work "Chainsaw" has exceeded $50 million at the North American box office, and the American actress Christina's favorability towards the host has reached 85 points, exceeding 80, and the number of host movie fans has exceeded 100,000, reaching 100005. The host will be unblocked, and the unblocking time will be from now until January 31, 2000. Keep up the good work, Host-sama. Lori smiled skillfully, but she didn't know that this sentence made Zhou Shaoming wait for many months!

Feeling that the giant thing under his crotch was finally like a snake after hibernation, and began to move, Zhou Shaoming burst into tears with excitement.

At this time, even if the total box office of "Chainsaw" of $58.15 million was put in front of him, Zhou Shaoming would not take a look, he couldn't wait, he just rushed over and grabbed his mobile phone, trembling and dialing out the number that he thought about at night.

"Toot. The ringing of the mobile phone ...... made Zhou Shaoming scratch his head violently, walked around the room irritably, lit a cigarette, and took a few big puffs.

β€œhello!” The call finally went through!

"Quick! Christina! Drop everything now! Take the nearest flight back! Hurry up! I'm hungry for the broadsword! Zhou Shaoming snuffed out the cigarette violently, jumped up and shouted excitedly.
