The first show in the morning of American cinemas is generally around 11 o'clock, and the box office generally includes advance tickets in addition to immediate output - this is actually a very large piece, for the official release of the movie, the theater will generally decide whether to give more films according to the pre-sale of some screenings in advance. But "Greek Wedding" is completely different this time, the theater chains of regal and AMC will only give a total of no more than 20 to 30 screens for screening, and the independent theater group is about the size of one or two screens per family, so there is no pre-sale at this time, because the screening itself is to observe the prospect of official release.

However, because of the "seven-day" plan planned by Daniel, the arrangement of the theater was broken. So even if the release plan was temporarily changed, the pre-sale was not opened on the 1st, which is why "Greek Wedding" only cost $190,000 when it broadcast the box office live at 2 o'clock in the morning. But from the early morning of the 2nd, the official movie will automatically enter the pre-sale, a movie that is being released, you can buy tickets at will on days with pre-rehearsals, which is a common practice.

So, start with the box office live broadcast at 8 o'clock. Early followers all noticed that the box office figures, which were unchanged at 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., changed during the 8 a.m. live stream.

"#票房直播 #My Grand Greek Wedding is officially in Los Angeles, and as of now, the box office figure is '270,000'."

"Wow, it's moving."

Jenny, who is about to change shifts, finally waited for this new update, generally speaking, the colleagues who take over will be ten minutes early, and the night shift has to turn off the computer and pack up before half an hour to get off work, but on this day, Jenny's colleagues found that this is not the case, Jenny has been grinding until eight o'clock before turning off the computer, and her face is very excited, not like she hasn't slept all night.

Jenny used to be a casual administrator at LAH, but switched to the company that runs LAH a few months ago, of course, out of enthusiasm for similar work — rather than the logistics of a retail business. But after the current company, although Jenny is doing a good job, she is obviously still a little uncomfortable.

It's rare to see such an enthusiastic appearance today, and of course my colleagues are more curious.

"The account of "Greek Wedding" on MB made a box office live broadcast yesterday, which will be updated every two hours, and just now I found that the box office has started to grow again, which is really happy."

"Box office live?"

"Yes, it's just to count the box office as of that time and put it on MB, and I'm so excited that I can't help but look forward to the next update. But I have to go back to sleep, I can rest for 48 hours, right? I decided to go to the movies tonight and contribute something to that number. ”

Americans work 40 hours a week, often with Saturday and Sunday off, but this is not the case with LAH, where their breaks are rotated and spread out over the course of the week. Jenny finished yesterday's night shift and was able to rest until Monday.

Several colleagues who had already turned on the computer couldn't wait to enter the MB homepage of "Greek Wedding", and they were engaged in website work to feel this qiē more directly and sensitively than ordinary professions, so Jenny's excitement was easily transmitted to her colleagues, after all, various activities in the early stage had already spread within LAH.

"Yes, why is it only $270,000, poor Daniel, this time it won't be his first failure, right?"

Including "School Blues", "Legally Blonde", "The Fellowship of the Ring", "Spy", every Daniel's work is a big profit, even if "Gladiator" does not make so much, but its overseas box office is also very impressive, and more importantly, it has brought Daniel countless awards, including a Golden Globe and an Oscar. So, no one thinks it's a mistake for Daniel to take over Gladiator.

This can't be blamed on Jenny's colleagues, the numbers they are used to hearing, similar to this kind of pre-release hit movie, there are millions of them in the zero point field. But they apparently overlooked that "Greek Wedding" was only released in the Los Angeles area, and that it was just screenings and a little bit of pre-sale numbers.

"Jenny, why don't you go and see it with you after work, and you can also bring my sister, she likes Daniel the most."

This is a male employee who has a little idea about Jenny.

"Wow, it's so good, we can go and see it together. Let me count how many people there are, 1, 2, 3...... Oh, 11, plus Levin's sister, 12, and any more to bring with them? ”

Levine had to come to terms with the brutal fact that dating turned into a party.

But seeing Jenny's excited appearance, he had to comfort himself that there was still a chance.

Finally, the number of people was counted, and in addition to a colleague on the night shift, a total of 15 people would go to see it together, including five family members.

"Then I'll buy a ticket, how about 8 o'clock? You can go get a bite to eat first. ”

"I agree."

"Of course I agree, Jenny's arrangement is wonderful." Levine added.

However, Jenny apparently did not receive hormonal and androgenic messages from her male counterparts - usually in the animal world, this is called "estrus". Jenny's adrenaline was now only secreted for Daniel's movie, and she immediately called and booked fifteen tickets at the nearest AMC theater, and the remaining seats were not very good, and she couldn't sit together, and the score was divided into two.

"8 o'clock is a hot session, and there are too many of us, so it's good to be divided into two groups."

"Does this mean that there are really not too many people watching the movie?"

Is that actually the case? Obviously, the answer is "no", and they also forget that today is a day off for most people, that they will go to the movies at any time of the day, and that couples may have to do something more meaningful in the evening - yes, everyone understands. In addition, young people are going to open a party duì, so tonight's session will not be too busy than a weekday.

Jenny, who had booked the tickets, said goodbye to everyone and went home to catch up on sleep.

Her colleagues began to follow the MB page of Greek Wedding.

……

At DD Pictures, Daniel, who had returned home after two a.m. to rest, returned to DD's office, and David didn't go back at all, spending a few hours in his office.

The young man who worked overtime was replaced.

"How many?" Daniel asked, leaning over to look at the numbers, "270,000?" ”

Daniel, who knows this well, certainly knows the meaning of this number better than Jenny and her colleagues.

"David, this time we really did something amazing."

……

"Hasn't the number of flywheels come over yet?"

"Here, wait a minute, I'll report to you right away. Oh, by the way, the seahorse's are here too. ”

"The number of Oriental Cinema was obtained, and their staff actually took the initiative to call over."

"Great, how many more? Just look at how many empty your forms are left. ”

From 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, people who have just started to work, the first wave of telephone and online ticket bookings has come. This should have been the number of the previous days, but it was all concentrated at this moment in the morning, and many movie theater booking calls were flooded, always on the phone, and the staff had to speed up the time for each ticket booking.

On the DD staff's form, the cumulative number keeps rising.

This busyness lasted until 10 o'clock, when it subsided a little, and after the official start of the show, on-site ticket purchases became more numerous, after all, this is not a hot moment, and there is no need to grab tickets like "The Fellowship of the Ring".

I don't know how many people in the United States are following the update of the official MB of "Greek Wedding", and it can be seen from the number of retweets and comments on their update at 8 o'clock that the number of people who follow has exceeded 10,000, and this is not counting those who only browse without doing anything.

"Updated."

"Oh, it's out."

"New numbers are coming."

Everyone shared with their colleagues, families, classmates, and friends around them.

"#票房直播 # "My Grand Greek Wedding" was officially filmed in the Los Angeles area on the 2nd, and so far, the box office is '1.34 million'!!"

Two heavy exclamation marks express the excitement in the heart of the operator.

And this also ignites the enthusiasm of followers.

"Oh, there's 15 of our tickets in here, and I'm sure a lot of people are like us and don't want to see Daniel fail. Let's hope it's a good movie. Jenny's colleague at LAH said.

Of course, this is also a relatively common psychology.

Yes, those 1.34 million miles, with one of my tickets, with my friend's, with my mother's -- I'm with that number.

Different computers are cheering in front of the "1.34 million number".

It's 10 a.m., and the number has reached 1.34 million, which means that even if the number stops at this value, the contribution of a single screen has exceeded $2,400 - more than "Spider-Man" and "The Clone Menace" and slightly behind "Spy".

And stop here?

Matthew of Lane Carmack. Fox couldn't have such fantasies, and "Greek Wedding" really had the scene he didn't want to see.

"Perhaps, when you go in and see the quality of this movie, you will feel that you have been deceived. Then Daniel will suffer the bitter fruit of himself, and they will know that there are terrible consequences for exploiting the audience. ”

Matthew's mind was spinning with things he didn't believe in, he had seen "The Greek Wedding," which might not be to many people's tastes, but it would never be called a bad movie - compared to the investment it received, the film could even be used as a model for other bad films with more investment.

……

"We have to see that this kind of propaganda has its drawbacks."

In Marvel's small conference room, Avi. Arad, Kevin. Figo, Anna. Hull and other Marvel executives are all here.

Kevin, who has always insisted on setting up his own film production company, is convincing Arad to bring DD Pictures to The Punisher with the amazing publicity and success of "Greek Wedding", but it is clear that he still has some difficult problems to solve. (To be continued.) )
