readx;?; Finalized the crew's live shooting at the Pentagon, etc., after Duke returned to Los Angeles, he deliberately took a day off to stay at home when he was bored, Scarlett? Johnson paid special attention to the release of this man from Earth. Pen, Fun, Court www.biquge.info//

She sat in front of the computer in the break room, sipping juice, and said to Duke, "This data is so bleak that even I have to sympathize with David?" Ellison too. ”

Sitting in a high-backed sofa chair, Duke was flipping through a Transformers comic book when he heard Scarlett say this, and he couldn't help but look up and ask, "Tell me about the numbers." ”

Is this David, after all? A movie that Ellison snatched from him, if Duke wants to see this man from Earth sell big, it must be fake.

"This man came from Earth has been released for ten days now, and has earned a total of $252 in 26 theaters in North America, and the box office of a single theater has not exceeded $000 for ten days......"

Speaking of which, Scarlett? Johnson shook his head and spoke again, "The B rating is very high, with a .4 score, but unfortunately because there are too few people who rate it, there are less than five hundred people who score it. ”

In a movie, the fewer people who score it, the higher the B score, which is a very simple truth, and it is also the main reason why this man is from the earth with a high B score.

Duke couldn't help but be a little curious, "With such a low single-theater box office, the theater side has not been forced to lower the stall?" ”

"I'll ask someone." Scarlett picked up her mobile phone, dialed a number, and after saying a few words, hung up the phone and said to Duke, "The people in Warner's distribution department said that if this man comes from Earth and does not have a major improvement at the box office this weekend, he will be withdrawn by the theater side." ”

She put on an expert tone, "There is no way to get better, and in a few days by the weekend, this man from Earth will not exceed $50,000 at the North American box office." ”

"Hmm......" Duke nodded, his eyes falling back to the comic books.

"The box office is so bad......"

This time the curious person was replaced by Scarlett. She turned off her computer, dragged over a chair, sat down next to Duke, and asked. "Why did you take a fancy to him in the first place?"

"I've seen him, the setting is absurd, but it's also interesting." Duke thought for a moment and said, "I think it's going to be the disc and rental market. There may be a certain market for this film. You should know that some films will find their audience in the rental market, which can often bring in a lot of income. ”

"Like Quentin? A film from Tastino? Scarlett immediately thought of the famous film director.

Duke flipped the page and said, without looking up, "Almost, some of the films don't fit the atmosphere of a theater." There may be a reason why many of Quentin's films, discs and videotapes tend to earn far more than the North American box office. ”

If only to watch Quentin? With Tustino's box office, it must be strange why he always gets investment and why the Weinstein brothers are so supportive of him. But if you look at the offline income of his films, you will understand that this is too normal.

With Scarlett? Johnson heard the same news that the man came from Earth two weeks after his release, he was forced to go offline by various theater companies in North America, ending a short screening trip.

Staying in David? What Ellison has in front of him is the dismal figure of $2,567 for 26 theaters, of which at least half has to be intercepted by the theater chain, which is really better than nothing compared to his investment.

Drop the data report, David? Ellison frowned. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the thoughts in my head unconsciously moved closer to the direction of the conspiracy, feeling as if I was on Duke? Rosenberg's when, he bought a film that didn't have any value and came back.

He slammed the table. To vent the frustration in his chest, he doesn't take this loss too seriously, after all, I am a legend The North American box office is about to cross the $200 million mark, and the global box office has exceeded $400 million, bringing revenue far more than these losses.

Just thinking of losing to Duke again for some reason? Rosenberg once, he couldn't feel comfortable in his heart.

Even. When he saw the film that this man was from Earth, he felt angry.

Seems to know David well? Ellison's thoughts, the head of the distribution department sitting across from him, said at the right time, "Mr. Ellison, a disc distribution company has contacted Sky Movie Studios and wants to buy out the offline rights of this man from Earth. ”

"Oh?" David? Ellison looked up, looked across from him, and asked, "How much are they bidding?" ”

"$00,000."

In the opinion of the person in charge, this is a very reasonable price, after all, the box office of this man from the earth is here, and it is impossible to sell it at a high price, "I think this price is okay, and it can also recover some of our losses." ”

Since a few days ago, David? Ellison didn't want to see this film that was destined to bring him shame anymore, he just thought about it for less than ten seconds, then waved his hand and said, "Sell it to them." ”

"I'll deal with it."

A few days later, Duke was removed from Scarlett? Johnson heard new news from there, this man from Earth was taken from David by Netflix for $000? Ellison bought out the offline rights......

Although some sigh that Netflix may have picked up a big bargain, Duke didn't care too much, in addition to busy preparing for Transformers, he paid more attention to the film market and focused on the Dark Knight, who has not yet been lowered.

Since July, both the scale of theaters and box office figures, The Dark Knight has been gradually shrinking in North America, with a cumulative North American box office figure of $490,000 in July, and a decrease to $7.65 million in the month, and now at the beginning of September, the film's North American box office has reached $567.66 million, although it is getting closer and closer to the $600 million mark, but the growth rate is becoming more and more weak.

In the end, before the end of the stall, whether the North American box office can surpass the second place in the North American box office list: The Return of the King, even Duke and Warner Bros. can't say for sure.

However, in terms of global box office, the Dark Knight certainly can't surpass The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

The overseas response of this dark film has not been as good as that of North America, and it is still so until September, and it is very doubtful that the film's overseas box office will surpass The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and whether it will be able to reach the box office figure of $606.4 million for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

To date, the Dark Knight has grossed $506.22 million overseas, still not surpassing the North American box office, but the two add up to $200 million, which is enough to satisfy Duke and Warner Bros.

On the other hand, the film's word-of-mouth has remained high, and the audience's praise rate has always remained above 90%, and it continues to rank first in B's P250 ranking.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that website B has not released the scoring comments of the two films until now.

The war between the fans of the Dark Knight and the Godfather has long spread from b to all corners of the Internet, as long as there are websites related to film and television, you can see the two factions of fans fighting, and the war is showing a trend of expansion, as time goes by, more and more non-dark knight Duke fans have also joined it.

I have to say that the number of Duke fans is huge, and in the face of the Godfather's fans, it is completely overwhelming.

Often, a post or comment on the Internet attacking Duke and the Dark Knight will soon be followed by more than a dozen attacks on him.

"Duke Blow" gradually spread from North America to film audiences around the world.

Arguably, there has never been a director, including James? Cameron and Steven? Spielberg, including Duke, can win the heartfelt support of so many fans as a director.

This is a unique phenomenon in the history of cinema.

Even in the mouths of fans on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Duke gradually gained the nickname of 'Du God'.

Of course, where there is powder, there is black, and the war caused by the Dark Knight inevitably spreads to the Internet over there.

However, a news announced by China Film Group quickly attracted the attention of all fans.

In mid-September, China Film Group officially announced that Duke's new Transformers live-action film will hold its world premiere in Shanghai in June next year, and China Film Group has reached an agreement with Warner Bros. and Duke himself that two Chinese actors will appear in this super production.

The post-zero generation has risen and is becoming an intermediate force in this society, and the Transformers cartoons that were all the rage in the late 10s and early 90s are undoubtedly indelible memories in the hearts of these people, coupled with the special world premiere and two of their own actors starring, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of countless people.

This is only the first step in the promotion of China Film Group and Warner Bros. Greater China, since it values this market, Warner will naturally spare no effort to promote its fist industry

Duke's film is undoubtedly a Warner Bros. signature.

On the other side of the Pacific, no one knows better than Duke what kind of power and appeal Transformers have, to put it mildly, as long as the special effects are guaranteed, Optimus Prime and Megatron can appear, countless post-zero generations will buy for the Transformers movie.

The introduction of Chinese actors is both Warner's suggestion and market demand for the film, and Duke will not object, but although the two actors involved in the transformation of King Kong are not so good as soy sauce, the weight of the role is not important, and the appearance time is quite limited.

Actually, it's more symbolic.

As for the selection of actors, Duke's requirements are simple, the actor must be handsome, the actress must be beautiful, and at the same time there must not be too many scandals, and it is best to be fluent in English.

In this regard, he only made a request, and China Film Group and Warner Greater China are still responsible. To be continued.
