Across the ocean, Los Angeles, USA.

Unlike Chen Xiao's slightly skeptical mood, Torrens, the general manager of New Film United Cinemas, has no bottom in his heart.

He is very optimistic about the box office of the movie "Smart: Ghost Shadow".

The picture production of this movie is too rough, there are not many shots to reflect the beauty of the movie, and the production is like child's play.

He also heard that the cost is only more than 10,000 dollars, and such a low-cost movie is simply unheard of and unseen.

In his life experience, he has never seen a movie that can achieve such a level of cost and still be successful.

If it weren't for the big boss himself, he really wouldn't dare to introduce such a movie into the cinema.

But now that they have been released, he has no choice but to expect a miracle to happen.

Due to the hasty opening of theaters, many popular movies were not introduced.

The New Film United Cinemas chain has a total of 16 theaters in California, and the major theaters only have three movies: "Smart: Ghost Movie", "Romeo and Juliet", and "Little Ghost Bobby", one horror film, one romance film, and one animated film.

The three movies are played in turn 24 hours a day, and the film schedule is not low, with "Smart: Ghost Shadow Record" as the most.

When the New Film United Cinema was doing the opening promotion, "Smart: Ghost Shadow" was brought along by the way, but it was a bargain for the movie "Smart: Ghost Shadow".

However, the movie "Smart: Ghost Shadow" is small after all, and there are not many publicity points to promote, which is a bit unfavorable to the sales of the movie.

Torrance thought about it, so he regarded these movies as the opening rehearsal of sixteen theaters, so that the major theaters could adapt to the process, run in with each other and practice, and don't think too much about the results.

On the first day of opening, Torrance was in plainclothes at a New Cinema Theater in Los Angeles.

As the general manager of New Film United Cinema Line and the person in charge of North America, he can't live up to the trust of the big boss, and of course he has to take responsibility.

May 1 is Friday, and the opening of the major theaters of the New Film United Cinema Line is scheduled for the afternoon.

Every movie theater is full of doors, but fortunately, all parts of the movie theater are conscientious and there are no mistakes, which makes Torrance feel a little relieved.

By seven or eight o'clock in the evening, it was the right time to watch the movie, and Torrance had the illusion that there was more traffic in the theater.

On the movie ticket buying platform, he took a look at their respective screenings and was surprised to find that all the tickets for all the later screenings of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" had sold a lot.

It's not just the theater he is in, but the sixteen theaters of the New Film United Cinema Line have sold some of the later screenings of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", and the attendance rate has reached about 60%.

What the hell. Torrance was incredible.

Which god recommended this movie, or what's wrong?

What he didn't know was that since the screening that day, the reputation of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" has gradually spread.

The publicity of the New Film United Cinema brought "Smart: Ghost Shadow Record", and the moviegoers subconsciously searched for it after seeing it, and they found Carmon's "masterpiece!" Use a documentary to talk about the supernatural and scare your soul! "Film review.

This review has received 10,000 likes and 100,000+ views.

His writing is really good, and every paragraph hangs people's appetites to the fullest.

People who have watched his review have the idea of watching this movie.

The audience who watched "Smart: Ghost Shadow" at the screening first also gave a high evaluation to the "Smart: Ghost Shadow" section on Tomato Online, which added to the suspense of this film.

Under the influence of several factors, California moviegoers heard that "Smart: Ghost Shadow" was released, and they came to see it first.

After they watched it, they all had the feeling of "honestly not deceiving me" in the film review, and gave a high evaluation in the "Smart: Ghost Shadow" area.

The word of mouth of the moviegoers made this movie form a certain viewing base a few hours after its release.

The release time of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" is on Friday, which is the peak period for movie-watching, and it is the best period for watching horror movies at night and late at night, so there was a short-lived blowout.

By the end of the wee hours, the box office statistics for the first day of release came out.

It grossed $500,000 on the first day.

This box office is not worth mentioning for many big-budget movies, and the first-day box office of good big-budget movies is basically more than five or six million dollars, and some can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

But you must know that the cost of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" is only more than 10,000 US dollars, and its account-sharing box office has achieved several times the profit on this day.

Big-budget movies may not pay off at the box office of tens of millions a day.

Torrance saw this box office and calculated that according to the one-month release time, "Smart: Ghost Record" may be able to achieve a box office of $15 million?

He was surprised, this is simply a box office dark horse.

Torrance couldn't wait to tell the big boss the news, and then the news reached Andy He's ears layer by layer.

Hearing the news, Andy He showed a smug smile on his face: "I really didn't see the wrong person, he really has a bit of ...... Meaning. ”

After Wang Hao, who was in the United States, got this statistical news, he had no choice but to call Chen Xiao and him.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, the box office of our "Smart: Ghost Shadow" has broken $500,000, and the monthly box office may reach $15 million!"

Chen Xiao on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.

Wang Hao calmed down and said suspiciously: "Brother Chen? ”

Chen Xiao let out a breath and said, "Only 500,000 a day? So little. ”

In the void world, he clearly remembered that it was a total box office of 107 million US dollars, and the difference between 15 million and 107 million was nearly ten times.

It seems that this movie still has a little wrong here, and it has not achieved the effect in the void world.

Wang Hao thought that he was confused with Chinese dollars, and reminded: "Brother Chen, it's dollars, and the exchange for Chinese dollars is more than 90 million!" ”

"I see." Chen Xiao's tone was flat, and he was not very happy to hear it: "You are staring at it over there, hang up." ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hao also calmed down.

was infected by Chen Xiao's emotions, and his enthusiasm quickly faded.

"I'm complacent about this little achievement, my pattern is too small. After Brother Chen finished filming, he was afraid that he had already expected the box office results, he was a little dissatisfied, I had to work hard. Wang Hao secretly decided in his heart: "Tomorrow, I will talk to the people of the New Film United Cinema Line to see if they can communicate with other theaters, and strive to release it in a few more theaters." ”
