Tuesday, November 1st is Halloween, so on the weekend, TET has already landed in many overseas markets, Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, etc.
DreamWorks' overseas distribution is a form of finding people to work with, usually Universal Pictures and local distribution companies, and a phenomenal film like TET certainly doesn't have to worry about finding a distributor or publicity. In fact, countless young people overseas have been waiting for it for a long time.
Tet's overseas first week table was good, and the overall evaluation reputation was similar to that of North America, and the box office did not suffer a Waterloo, winning 31.79 million in the fierce Halloween schedule. This figure is in line with the estimates of the institutions, because it has entered all the ticket warehouses, it has no room to break out again, and it is basically moving smoothly towards the total estimate of 70 million to 80 million.
This pseudo-documentary horror film will almost certainly surpass $200 million at the global box office, and it will be difficult to surpass Blair the Witch's 2. 4.8 billion (overseas 1. 0.8 billion), but it is already a veritable scare of the world.
For DreamWorks, the modest gains are just heartwarming, and this year's "Nightmare Factory" is not over.
Released on October 5th, "Super Invincible Boss Dog: The Curse of the Human Rabbit" (budget 30 million) is average, with a North American box office of just over 50 million so far, and the overseas box office has exceeded 100 million, with 95% freshness and 79% popularity to ensure that the DVD will sell well, lose money, and also maintain the reputation of the DreamWorks Animation Department.
"Dream Benz" (budget 32 million), which was released on October 21, was very bad again, and two weeks later, there was only a pitiful 19.02 million North American box office, which is at most more than 30 million. But its reputation is not bad, with 64% freshness and 78% favorability, and it is more tolerant for Dakota Fanning's sake.
The poor box office performance of the two films with a good reputation exposed the dying life of DreamWorks, and after the fiasco of the first three seasons of this year, its finances could no longer support how much publicity it did for these two films, and it spent most of the money it could still take out on LMS.
But how much work has such a weak DreamWorks actually done, and how much more effective can LMS be in theaters after its release?
These are the concerns of analysts about the LMS box office, and they are also the reason why the outside world is increasingly optimistic that it can exceed the 100 million North American box office. Even if the evaluation has a good reputation, once it is affected by poor distribution, the box office will not be much better, and 70 million will begin to feel distant.
If it weren't for Ye Wei's popularity, if it wasn't for the fantasy cast and full of topics, it would have been flat to 50 million.
The latest issue of the famous magazine "Entertainment Weekly" this week has an exclusive interview with Ye Wei, talking about his personal life and LMS.
Entertainment Weekly: As a teenage director, how do you get along with the stars?
Ye Wei: Very good. Of course there were a lot of difficulties, especially in the beginning, because everyone on set seemed to be more experienced than you, even Bryslin had spent more time on the set than me. But everyone was very professional and took good care of me, which made me understand that things are not complicated and that I just need to do my job.
Entertainment Weekly: What was the hardest part of the filming period?
Ye Wei: The most difficult and the most interesting are the same thing, and many people come to visit the class. I welcome each and every one of them, and I fear each of them, because someone visiting the class means that time will be wasted that day, and those unintentional mistakes will lead to a few more times, which is equivalent to stabbing me a few times. And the funny thing is that they all bring life, joy and food to the set, so we didn't go crazy, so I still welcome them, especially the people with good food.
Entertainment Weekly: What do you think of the recent controversy you've been subjected to? Do you think it's unfair racism?
Ye Wei: I don't care much about these things, I will fight hard when I fight, but you can't live with a victim mentality, that will give you many reasons. Life is never easy, fair I will like it, unfair I play a game that is more difficult, use action to change.
Entertainment Weekly: What does LMS mean to you and what are your expectations?
Ye Wei: I don't know how to answer, because that's what it means, too much, too heavy, to explain clearly. If I have to use an analogy, just like my child, I just want it to be healthy and smooth, and I expect it to show its own meaning, not to compare with anyone, just to bloom itself.

"Welcome back, our guest tonight is ......!"
On Comedy Central, after the commercial, Jon Stewart had just started to speak, and the audience was already shouting excitedly, Jon slapped his desk angrily and shouted, "Be reserved, ladies! ”
After the show broadcast a trailer of LMS, cut back to the studio, Jon smiled and shouted: "Welcome to the director of "Little Sunshine Beauty", Ye Wei!"
The bright sound effects sounded, and the audience shouted louder, as if many people were standing up, and when a tall, handsome Asian teenager walked out of the left side of the studio, the audience shouted in unison: "viy!viy!viy!"
It has been a year and a half since Ye Wei first appeared on "The Daily Show", and his appearance is more mature, wearing a fashionable jacket and slacks, with a smile on his face, with youthful handsomeness and masculine masculinity. He waved to the audience and greeted Jon, who stood up and smiled and greeted, all of them showing his calmness.
The two then sat down, Ye Wei sat on the left side of the presiding table, and Jon sat on the right side behind the table.
The audience was willing to calm down.
