"So, is Alexis finally willing to talk to you today?"

"Yes, but she still doesn't want to pay attention to you. ”

Charlize said to Charlotte hatefully, and the latter looked embarrassed.

It's been two days since the premiere of "Happy Death Day", and today is Christmas.

Charlotte, as a director, is in a moment of relaxation after the film's release. And Charlize was also resting for Christmas, so the two got together again at noon.

Only this time, the atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward

Because of the sense of accomplishment of defeating the evil god, Charlotte's self-control at that time was more diminished, and when he and Charlize were "celebrating" fiercely in the walled world, they completely forgot that there was another resident tenant in the girl's body.

Alexis!

He completely forgot to block the other party this time!

When Charlotte remembered this, not only the premiere of "Happy Death Day" had ended, but even the second screening had passed.

Not only did he "celebrate" with Charlize in the wall world, but he also came again immediately after he came out.

After all, the world of painting walls only consumes mental power, but it does not consume physical energy at all.

From this point of view, Charlotte has found a very cool way to play, but

"It's such a weird feeling!!"

Charlize's tone was still hateful, but her face was a little red.

In fact, she also found it very exciting to play that day, otherwise she would not have acquiesced to Charlotte tying her up......

However, after the incident, when she remembered Alexis's existence, the girl's feelings were more complicated

It's obviously a matter of two people, why does it feel like three people are together!?

Anyway, she felt awkward at the time.

This awkwardness made her ignore Charlotte for the past two days, just as Alexis has been ignoring her for the past two days.

Fortunately, this morning, in the face of Charlize's Christmas greetings, Alexis finally replied.

As for the content of the response......

Anyway, the result of the discussion between one person, one ghost and two girls is that it's all Charlotte's fault!

Therefore, when I came to meet today, Charlize had a lot of interest in asking for guilt. But how do you say that?

This has never happened to her, not even on TV or in books, which makes the girl a little short of words for a while.

Charlotte, on the other hand, reacted quickly, and when he saw the opportunity, he immediately began to change the subject:

"The box office performance of "Happy Death Day" in the past two days is very good, both of which have exceeded the 10 million mark, and if you count today, you should be able to fully recover the cost. ”

"That's good!"

Charlize exclaimed.

She half-unintentionally and half-intentionally allowed Charlotte to change the subject. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to say, and she felt that she should just give up.

In contrast, the results of "Happy Death Day" are indeed more important.

"Because "Happy Death Day" is PG-13, it has a much wider audience than the R-rated "Fatal Bend". ”

Charlotte continued to analyze,

"This kind of larger audience will bring more box office in itself, not to mention that our opponent this time is much weaker than when "Fatal Bend". ”

Although the Christmas schedule is an important schedule in the North American film market, the competition in the Christmas schedule is much milder than the summer schedule when blockbusters are often gathered.

This is because many of the movies released around Christmas are aimed at winning the Oscars next year. These films are often screened in a long line.

On the one hand, this is to be able to stay in theaters for a while longer, so that the Oscar judges can watch it at any time, of course, whether the judges will watch it or not is another matter.

On the other hand, it is also because of the limited box office harvesting capacity of these films themselves, so they have to adopt the mode of long-term screening and protracted war.

In this way, after accumulating for a long time, as long as the quality of the film is okay, it will still be able to pile up a relatively considerable box office after all.

Although this also means that the filmmaker must give the profit to the theater. After all, the theater chain is not a Kaizi, there are not enough benefits, why should people screen these tepid award-winning art films, instead of those commercial films that can harvest more at the box office?

In fact, with the extension of the release time of a movie, the proportion of the cinema chain will generally get higher and higher, and the filmmaker will get less and less.

This is also the reason why film companies generally like commercial films that can quickly harvest the box office.

After all, no matter how much box office there is on the surface, the money that can fall into your own hands is the real money.

And this year's Christmas file, several of the main opponents of "Happy Death Day" are all literary films that are not very good

"Burning Years" was released on the same day as "Happy Death Day".

Although the leading actors Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are both famous characters, and the latter also won the Golden Man for "The Silence of the Lambs", but this film is in the on-demand mode, and there are only 6 screens on the screen, so the box office can be imagined.

This can be said to be a more typical award-winning film.

In contrast, Winona Ryder's Little Women is a bit offbeat.

This film adapted from a famous book is also said to be a full literary film, and it should go to the award mode. But because of the super popularity of the starring Winona, he managed to get more than 1,500 open screens, which is completely a commercial film.

Of course, having the posture of a commercial film does not mean that there will be an income from a commercial film, judging from the current indications, Charlotte feels that the box office of "Little Women" in the first week should not be too high, and more than two million US dollars will reach the sky.

Of course, this does not mean that the results of "Little Women" will be very bad later, after all, literary films......

But in any case, literary films such as "Little Women" have not been the opponents of "Happy Death Day" at all in recent weeks.

As a horror film, it is actually a campus youth comedy, and "Happy Death Day", which won a PG-13 rating, can be said to be its home field during the family carnival schedule like Christmas.

Not to mention the dull literary films, even the commercial films of the same period, there are few of them that are its opponents.

Of course, it is also inappropriate to say that there are no opponents at all. "Little Tarzan" directed by Stephen Sommers is very valued by Charlotte.

After all, not to mention that Stephen Sommers is the director of the later "Mummy" series, his level is good, and he can't be taken lightly. Just the name "Little Tarzan" is not easy to mess with.

Taishan, as the famous king of the jungle on the big screen, has been remade countless times, which can also be regarded as a big IP in North America.

The plot of "Little Taishan" is exactly the same as Taishan, but it has become a teenager version, such a movie, if it is filmed, can not only rub Taishan's IP, but also get a box office bonus for all ages, which is naturally not to be underestimated.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, the power of "Little Taishan" is still limited.

"Probably because there are too many similar movies, everyone's interest is average!"

Charlotte guessed.

Overall, the Christmas file of "Happy Death Day" is smooth sailing. Of course, going too well can also bring some unexpected troubles. For example

"You're Charlize?Charlize Theron!?"

Looking at the sparkling eyes of the little girl beside her, Charlize suddenly felt that something was wrong.
