As soon as the sun climbed into the sky, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of the Warner Building in Burbank. Together, they walked towards the Warner Bros. conference room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ.

Although there is still some time before going to work, the senior management of Warner Bros. has been waiting in the conference room for a long time. Walter sat at the head of the conference table without saying a word, just like everyone else, just quietly waiting, waiting for the protagonist of the meeting to arrive.

That guy has a reason to keep them waiting, because he has done a great job for Warner Bros., and he has almost held up the small half of the sky of Warner Bros., and there is never a shortage of blockbuster movies under his Warner Bros. banner.

And this time, he has a good chance of saving Batman!

It was a series that had fallen off a cliff before, and now it was held up by him, and judging by the performance of the midnight show, it was almost about to take to the skies again.

There was a soft knock on the conference room door, and a secretary with Duke and Tina? Fei walked in, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him alone, as if he was looking at the savior.

Duke nodded his head as he walked towards his seat.

Other people can see him as Batman's savior, but he can't do it himself, and such thinking is also dangerous.

Just walked to the conference table, Doug? Walter stood up and waited, he reached out and shook Duke heavily, and when he sat down, he announced that the meeting would begin.

This is a business meeting with a very clear goal and purpose, without any verbosity, the meeting goes straight to the point.

"The box office statistics for the midnight show of 'Batman: Time to Go to War' are out."

Is the one who speaks Doug? Walter himself, as the parent company of DC Comics, Warner Bros. has always wanted to recreate the glory of DC superhero movies, Doug? Walter even dreamed of seeing Batman get out of his decline in Duke's hands.

Everyone's ears are pricked up, all of them are Warner Bros. executives, and the company's performance is closely tied to their future and destiny, and no one wants to see Batman: Time to War a big success.

"The midnight show grossed $7.56 million!"

With Doug? Walter's words came out, and many people showed a smile on their faces.

Truly. Compared with Duke's midnight box office record of $11.26 million set by "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", the figure of $7.56 million is not too impressive, but here are real industry insiders, and they know very well that this figure is for the rebooted Batman. The meaning is very unusual.

This is a series that has once completely failed, and to get such a midnight box office, Duke? The name and signboard of Rosenberg may play a greater role in it than Batman himself.

Some people may be worried about the film's stamina. But the head of distribution, Jamie? Johnson's subsequent utterance of the data made these people basically put their hearts back in their stomachs.

"The Cinemascore cinema audience praise rate is as high as 89 percent, the average audience score is 'A', the 38,775 users of the IMDB website score 9.1 points, the audience popularity popcorn index is 88 percent, and Metacritic 45 media reporters scored the highest score in the series of 86 points."

By the same token, such a word-of-mouth is good enough for a reboot of a failed series.

And they all understand that with such audience word-of-mouth as a basis, even if the follow-up word-of-mouth will decline. It will never become a super bad movie like "Batman and Robin".

As long as the box office of the first weekend can continue the performance of the midnight show, "Batman: Time to War" will undoubtedly be a success, and the Batman series will be reborn on the big screen!

"It's a pivotal time for DC Comics, it's a pivotal time for Warner Bros."

Doug? Walter's eyes swept over the Warner Bros. executives one by one, and said very seriously, "The focus of this summer is "Batman: Time to Go to War", mobilize all the corresponding resources, and fully support this film!" ”

The specific tasks were assigned one by one, and the meeting ended quickly. Duke basically didn't say much, he was good at making movies, and when it came to publicity, Warner Bros. professionals could blow him up all the way.

"Hi. Duke. ”

After the meeting, Duke was just about to leave when he was killed by Doug? Walter cried out, and he hurried over and said, "Can you talk a little?" ”

"Absolutely." Naturally, Duke would not refuse.

"I'm sure Batman will be brilliant in your hands."

Experience over the years. Jean Doug? Walter has strong faith in him, "Batman: Time to War already has a good start, why don't we continue? ”

"Doug, it's just a year apart."

After thinking for a few seconds, Duke said, "I'm going to direct 'Iron Man', and the distributor is Warner Bros., and we're still working together, and there's Zack's 'The Three Hundred Spartans' next year." ”

"Did he agree to direct Superman?" Doug? Walter asked again.

"Still thinking about ......" Duke didn't mean to hide it, and said directly, "but the interest is very strong, but it won't be determined until the release of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta." ”

Since Marvel and Warner Bros. reached a distribution agreement, Marvel's big plan for the universe is not a secret to Warner Bros., Warner Bros., who owns DC Comics, also wants the heroes of the Justice League to assemble on the big screen, and Superman, as one of the three giants of justice, is inevitably put on the agenda again, this time they did not rush to the scene, and still set their sights on the side of the Duke Studios.

The directors on the Duke's side of the studio, who have the ability to direct, are strictly speaking only Duke and Zack? Schneider two, Wallace? Lee's film is in post-production and will only be released in September, so it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not.

If Tales from the Night doesn't live up to expectations, Duke will definitely kick him out.

Although the other party is his college classmate, these are not obstacles at all in the face of business profits.

Both of them were very busy, and after a brief chat, Duke left the Warner Building, just got into the car, and Tina in the passenger seat? Fei turned his head, obviously something's wrong.

"Just got a call from a chain marketer around the West Coast, and the caller is Pete? Axe handle. ”

Seeing that Duke was reminiscing, she reminded her, "Just recommend Amanda?" Seyfried's company, the largest gift chain marketer on the West Coast. ”

Duke nodded, remembering the Chinese, who seemed to have left a phone call for the other party, and asked, "What's the matter with him?" ”

"His company has a total of five Batmobiles, all of which have been sold out since last night", Tina? Fei glanced at the work diary and said, "There are still seven people who have placed orders with him, and Lamborghini and Warner Bros. are currently in short supply, so he asked us for help." ”

Sales means profits, Duke didn't think about it, and said directly, "You help him solve it." ”

The Batmobile is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching parts of "Batman: Time to War", and the toys, models and real vehicles of the Batmobile are also the main peripheral products of the film.

On Friday, both to promote the peripherals and to promote the film, the crew organized a Batmobile parade in Los Angeles, where a convoy of sixteen Batmobiles took to the streets of Los Angeles driven by the same number of stunt drivers in Batman suits.

The parade passed through the famous streets of Los Angeles such as the Walk of Fame, Hollywood Boulevard, and Sunset Boulevard, attracting tens of thousands of people to take to the streets to watch.

Like Christian? Bell and Lawrence? Fishburne and other main actors participated in the whole parade, and Duke also appeared at the beginning and end of the parade, briefly accepted an interview with reporters, faced the reporter's microphone, and praised the performance of the entire crew, from the actors to the prop master to the Batmobile design team.

Such an interview may not be unusual, but with sixteen powerful Batmobiles as a backdrop, it can easily steal people's attention.

There is no doubt that at the beginning of the summer of 2005, "Batman: Time to War" easily overtook its competitor "Heavenly Dynasty" in the same schedule and became the most watched movie, which is particularly obvious on the Internet.

On the instant sharing site, as of Friday night, "Batman: Time to War" had 523,255 retweets, compared to 101,211 for "Heavenly Dynasty."

On Google, the number of searches for "Batman: Time to War" was 657,856 times, and that for "Kingdom of Heaven" was 133,578, and the gap between the two sides was equally obvious.

The most important thing is the gap in the audience's word-of-mouth, the audience praise rate of "Heavenly Dynasty" Cinemascore is only 57%, the average audience score is 'C', the 18,775 users of the IMDB website scored 6.7 points, the audience popularity popcorn index is 63%, and the average score of 45 Metacritic media reporters scored 68 points.

No matter how you look at it, "Celestial Dynasty" and "Batman: Time to War" are not films of the same magnitude.

With the arrival of Friday night, twice as many people flocked to theaters across the United States as on weekdays, and these people had a very clear goal: the film that had just been released in the summer file, and in the highly mature film market of North America, the audience's first choice in the summer file was a commercial blockbuster.

Batman: Time to Go to War and Kingdom of Heaven are both top targets.

However, the effect of audience word-of-mouth and various data is reflected in the two movies, that is, when five viewers buy tickets for "Batman: Time to War", one audience will choose "Heavenly Dynasty".

So, after the box office of the two films was released on the first day, the gap was clear at a glance. (To be continued.) )
