However, Friday's bashing was just the beginning, when the North American box office data of "Air Combat Heroes" reached Larry, who had been paying attention? When Ellison was in front of him, even if he was arrogant, he understood David? The beginning of Ellison's career in Hollywood may really start with failure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The $4.12 million result on the first day is not outstanding at all.

Although a layman for movies, Larry? Ellison knew very well that such a box office would not be able to dominate the box office charts.

"Mr. Ellison......"

The female secretary standing across the desk, looking at her boss's unpredictable face, was quite calm, the founder of Oracle has never been a reserved person.

Larry? Ellison briefly skimmed through the box office figures of "Air Combat Heroes", looked up at the female secretary, and asked, "What about the box office figures of "Batman: Time to War"?" ”

At the time of the New York premiere, he used to be at Duke? Rosenberg put down big words in front of him, although he is used to being cheeky after the cannon misses, and he will not feel ashamed or anything like that, if he loses too much, it is not too good-looking.

The female secretary knew her boss's ability to bear it, and without any hesitation, she said directly, "Batman: Time to Go to War received $12.13 million yesterday, which was yesterday's North American single-day champion. ”

"Eight million dollars apart?"

Hear the words of the female secretary, Larry? Ellison's brows furrowed slightly, the gap between the two sides is really bigger, next time you see Duke? Rosenberg, his face is not very good-looking.

The idea just went around in the head and was pulled by it? Ellison tossed aside, and a man who walked into his position would not lose his temper because of a single success or failure.

Besides. The box office figures achieved by the two movies will not be put in his eyes.

The only regret is that his son, who has always thought he was a genius, may suffer a serious blow at the beginning of his career.

But this is not a bad thing, and the experience of failure is also a rare experience.

Of course. Nobody wants to experience what it's like to fail, David? Ellison didn't want to either.

In the Beverly Hills mansion, David? Ellison sat on the couch in the living room without saying a word, Megan? Ellison looked at the statistical report sent by Walt Disney, and then looked at his brother's expression, and was smart enough not to open his mouth to mock.

Although since childhood, I have been accustomed to astronomical investments. Even if the film really fails completely at the box office, it won't break his bones, but he's not Larry after all? Ellison, who is a person with rich experience, thinks of his previous self-confidence, and then sees the first-day box office figures placed in front of him. How is it possible to rise up with joy?

Yes, "Air Combat Heroes" did not have a chance to turn over, but David? Ellison studied at USC Film School, and has studied the Hollywood film industry in depth in the past two years, and understands that there are very few people who can turn around.

And...... Duke? How could Rosenberg sit back and watch him roll over?

Get up from your chair, David? Ellison took a few steps back and forth in the living room and couldn't help but whisper, "Is there really no one who can fight Duke in the summer?" Rosenberg and his work? ”

This sentence fell to Megan? Ellison's ears. She blinked, remembered for a moment, and suddenly snapped her fingers and said. "Seems like that's really the case, Robert? Zemeckis, Michael? Bey, Steven? Spielberg, Mel? Gibson, Anthony? Minghella, Ridley? Scott ......"

She read out a list of famous directors' names and finally said, "These people are all working with Duke? Rosenberg lost in a head-to-head encounter. So, it's normal for your film to fail. ”

"Normal?" David? Ellison was so angry that his hair almost stood on end, "Why can't I win once?" ”

Megan? Ellison shrugged his shoulders. It seems that some time ago with Scarlett? Johnson is not the person she quarrels with, and said as a matter of course. "Because he's Duke? Rosenberg, he's an explosive maniac. He is the king of summer files, and he is the first person in Hollywood commercial films! ”

David? Ellison's face instantly turned dark, and he glared at his sister viciously, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, because the data was right in front of him.

If "Heroes of Air Combat" wins, can he run to Duke? Rosenberg mocked and showed off in front of him, but now that he had lost, even if he was facing his sister who was not yet an adult, he could not refute it......

What does he use to refute the $4.12 million first-day box office figure?

Follow Michael? Ovitz and Walt Disney, as well as his own estimates, "Heroes" grossed about $40 million in its first weekend, which means that the first day box office would be at least more than $10 million!

But the real figure is not even half of what is estimated, and judging from the current audience reputation, it is questionable whether the box office will exceed $15 million in the first weekend.

The film failed at the box office, and if the audience's reputation is good enough, it can be profitable through various post-copyright income, but the audience reputation of "Air Combat Heroes" is simply worse than the first-day box office.

The audience praise rate of RE theaters has dropped to below 50%, only a pitiful 43%, and the average audience score is C, IMDB score is 5.6, which can almost be classified as a bad movie.

You must know that the film has only been released for one day, and according to normal rules, as the screening time increases, various ratings will decline.

Looking at the competitors again, "Batman: Time to Go to War" has been released for more than a week, and the praise rate of the theater audience is still above 85%, although the audience score has declined, it is also A, and the IMDB score is as high as 8.6 points!

The audience's word-of-mouth represents not only the numbers, but also the stamina of the film!

Sit back in your chair, David? Ellison pinched his forehead hard, trying not to let the depression in his heart show on his face, no matter how he said that he also has a net worth of hundreds of millions, even if this is inherited wealth, it is the richest group of people in North America, isn't it?

Megan? Ellison teased his brother a few times, then stopped, regardless of that Scarlett? No matter what Johnson says, she can still distinguish between relatives and aliens.

David? Ellison was still thinking about the movie, after all, it was the beginning of his career.

The box office is not good, the audience has a bad reputation, and it is not the end of the world for a movie, he knows this very well, many movies that have won big awards seasons are not good at the box office, and they are not very popular with the market and mainstream audiences.

"Can 'Heroes of the Air' make a difference during awards season?" David? Ellison couldn't help but ask himself.

No one answered him, and he then shook his head.

The reason is very simple, the professional reputation of "Air Combat Heroes" is also very poor!

All the people in Hollywood know that Duke? Rosenberg is the object of criticism by professional film critics, and even film reviews of his films can sometimes only be described as vicious abuse, such as this "Batman: Time to War", the average score of film critics is 6.5 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 63%, and the professional reputation is really average.

But the professional reputation of "Air Combat Heroes" is even worse, David? Ellison's eyes swept over the stats again, professional critics rated an average of 5.1, and Rotten Tomatoes had a 42 percent freshness rating.

Such a film, even if it spends a lot of money on public relations, is unlikely to make a difference when thrown into the awards season.

"In general terms, David? Ellison is your opponent, and professional film critics don't like you, so they should support "Air Combat Heroes". ”

In the villa of the Duke's Manor, Scarlett? Johnson fiddled with the tea set in his hand, rushed the black tea with great interest, and his mouth was not idle, and he kept asking some questions of concern, "But they criticized "Air Combat Heroes" so badly, did that group of vampires suddenly have a work ethic?" ”

I rushed back to Los Angeles in the morning, and Scarlett ran over in the afternoon, and although Duke was a little tired, it felt good to have someone to chat with.

Some words are not unreasonable, the higher the position, the fewer real friends, and usually, Duke can still be with Tina? Fei gossip, now Tina? Faye, at his behest, went to dig a hole for Disney with Warner Bros., and Scarlett was also a defenseless person who could talk casually.

Duke picked up Scarlett's brewed black tea, took a sip slowly, nodded slightly, and said, "Do professional film critics have professional ethics?" ”

Scarlett put down the white porcelain pot, pulled her down-hanging blonde curls behind her head, and deliberately made a serious expression, "If they had a work ethic, there would be no liars in this world." ”

"But......" she asked the previous question, "why are they on our side this time?" ”

"The filmmakers are not on our side, they are still on their own side."

Duke explained a little, stretched out a finger, and said, "David? Ellison, like any other Hollywood company, didn't invite any professional film critics to the test screenings and premieres of "Heroes," something that those whose eyes are countless times higher than their hands and their hearts will remember that. ”

He stretched out a second finger, "He is a newcomer to Hollywood, and the first thing he invests in is not those niche independent films, but commercial big productions, and of course professional film critics will not like him." ”

"That's the same thing." Scarlett? Johnson nodded his chin, poured himself a cup of black tea, took a sip from the cup, and said, "But their comments this time are more or less helpful to us." ”

"More of them, not more", Duke shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "less of them is not less." ”

The little audience that professional film critics can influence today is really dispensable compared to the huge volume of the North American summer film market.

However, the failure of both the audience and professional reputation of "Air Combat Heroes" will inevitably have a huge negative impact. (To be continued)
