North America, Monday, September 25 local time.

Weekly box office statistics are freshly released.

The Human Eradication Program took first place with $32.5 million in its first week.

Generally speaking, the September schedule in North America belongs to the season, and theaters are used to releasing some low-budget horror films...

The peak season belongs to the summer season from May to September every year, and it is the hottest movie schedule for Hollywood.

"Human Eradication Project", released by Lionsgate, in fact, before the release, Lionsgate had a lot of hopes for this film, arranging a mid-range scale of 2,336 theaters.

The fact that "Human Eradication Project" can give 2,336 theaters is already a remarkable scale.

After all, Lionsgate is only a medium-sized independent film company...

That's the case, in Hollywood, the publicity and distribution fees required for theatrical distribution and theater screenings are very high.

Generally speaking, most of the horror films released by independent film companies are only arranged in more than 1,000 theaters.

At the beginning, the first part of "Chainsaw" was only screened by 1,400 companies, and by the second part, it had risen to 2,949 people;

】

The third part of the 3167 opened paintings.

Based on the premise that "Saw Horror" has become Lionsgate's ace series!

As a new IP, "Human Eradication Project" has a scale of 2,336 openings in the first weekend, which is enough to prove Lionsgate's sincerity.

Then, the movie really didn't disappoint.

"Human Eradication Project" achieved a whopping $14,345 single-theater results, and a box office of $32.5 million over the weekend, ensuring that the film made more than 10 times the profit in the first week!

It is estimated that the Lionsgate executives are now raising their glasses!

Of course, word of mouth does not dare to compliment ...

The whole story is framed and advanced, but as the plot develops, the director loses control, causing "the whole train to "run wildly and turn into chaos";

"The idea is good, but the implementation process is not flattering, from the beginning to the end we only see countless things being overturned and broken in the black scene, and then... And then it's gone";

"The main skill of this kind of film is not to show the picture, but to arouse the audience's inner fears and thoughts through atmosphere creation and plot twists, but unfortunately this film does not do both of these things",

The media scored 43 points, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was 33%, 36 people voted for fresh tomatoes, and 72 people smashed Rotten Tomatoes...

But it doesn't matter, the cost of this film is only $3 million, and according to today's word-of-mouth, let alone $80 million at the box office!

And this thing can be used to develop a series.

The follow-up production of the sequel will not increase the price on a large scale - it's a big deal to change the team, anyway, the story framework is established!

Michael Burns immediately called Shen Xudong to discuss follow-up cooperation.

But considering the time difference, it was decided to text first.

……

"The Human Eradication Project? Is that the movie you went to the United States to work with Lionsgate? Cost $3 million that? ”

"Yes, copyright sharing, profit fifty-fifty..."

Shen Xudong said as he dialed Michael Burns' phone...

After five minutes, hang up.

Gao Fenfen immediately asked: "How much money can this movie make?" ”

Shen Xudong glanced at her: "Aren't you surprised?" $3 million cost, 32.5 million in the first week..."

"You said that this is an R-rated horror film, it is impossible to introduce it into China, we can't promote it... I've heard that in the United States, movies only account for 30% of the box office? ”

“… Lionsgate has no ability to develop derivatives, and there are no overseas distribution channels, in addition to box office revenue, there should only be DVD video copyrights and TV rights... I guess the overseas distribution will be packaged and sold to large companies..."

"How much is that?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "How do I know, it's only the first weekend, and it hasn't been released yet... Book me a plane ticket and I'll fly over right away! ”

"Do you want someone to come along?"

"No..."

Shen Xudong was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "You find someone to write a few drafts and publicize this matter well!" ”

“… Movie? ”

"Investing, making films... We have made a lot of money, and we must publicize it! ”

“… Yes, we have to publicize it well..."Gao Fenfen nodded immediately: "If we want to show our strength, we must make Zhang Ziyi regret it!" ”

Chen Xi was speechless: ""Human Eradication Plan" is a horror film... What does it have to do with Zhang Ziyi? ”

Shen Xudong said: "Then if "Juno" and "The Fault in the Stars" are all big sellers, will I successfully become a well-known producer?" ”

"That's right..."

Gao Fenfen seemed to be incarnated as a maniac - without considering the possibility of Shen Xudong's failure at all.

Chen Xi looked at Shen Xudong: "How long will you go this time?" ”

"In addition to the sequel to "Human Removal Plan", in addition, "The Fault in the Stars" is about to start filming, and I have to cast..."Shen Xudong thought for a while: "Let's take a month!" ”

“… Yes. ”

"By the way, "Hurricane Rescue" will be released in North America this week, you pay attention..."

"The copyright we sold for "Hurricane Rescue"..."

"If it's a hit, start filming the second part immediately..."

Chen Xi nodded, wrote down these, and added by the way: "Next month's Golden Eagle Festival, you will have to play." ”

"I know..."

……

It was not until the 13th session, that is, in 2007, that the Magnolia Award changed from an international TV festival to an award event for domestic TV dramas, and it has been an international award that has been advertised before!

The problem is that the audience doesn't know these dramas and actors you nominated...

At this stage, the audience only recognizes the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award.

Why is Shen Xudong present at this Golden Eagle Award?

Because Chen Hao was nominated, Shen Xudong was also shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award for "Golden Branches"...

This is the superficial reason, the deepest: the company signed five film contracts with Hunan Satellite TV, and the first round of solo dramas: "Splendid Relationship", "The Second Season of the Best Family", "Falling into Pure Love", "Good Days and Good Scenery Know Geometry" and "Snow Leopard"...

is considered to be the closest partner, and the Golden Eagle Festival, as a major event of Mango Radio and Television, of course, has to be held.

At this stage, the Golden Eagle Award is not a water award, and Jin Yong in 03 was the guest of honor - he personally presented the award to Li Baotian, and won the most popular and best performing arts actor awards with "Divine Doctor Xilaile"!

However, the Golden Eagle Award has always been very bold, Zhao Yanzi was popular all over Asia with "Huanzhu Gege", and the Golden Eagle Award really dared to award her the Golden Eagle Award for Favorite Actress!

- The Golden Eagle Awards have not been reformed back then, and there is only one Most Favorite Actress Award, and there is no popularity award at all.

Therefore, later "Beautiful Li Huizhen" also crowned Reba...

It's a pity that "Huanzhu Gege" is really popular all over Asia, and Zhao Yanzi is controversial, and there is nothing to say about being loved.

Reba at the time of "Beautiful Li Huizhen" was not even a popular first-line... It's just that there are many fans, not to mention Yin Tao, Sun Li, and Yuan Quan, who were nominated at the same time...

However, since you dare to give Reba an award, why don't Yang Xiaomi and Shuang Meizi dare to give it?

Aren't their fans fans?

Made, it's too far away...

In short, this Golden Eagle Award, Shen Xudong will definitely be on the scene.

……

"Shen Xudong's new film won the North American box office championship"...

"Shen Xudong's new work won the North American box office champion last week"...

A similar title immediately dominated the portal's entertainment headlines - this news is much more exciting than the box office of "Night Banquet" in the second week of 35 million, and the total box office of 90 million!

Shen Xudong's new film, the North American box office champion...

As soon as these two keywords are superimposed, they will immediately become a hot spot!

After all, whatever happened in the United States these years, there are a bunch of well-known foot lickers...

A bunch of people clicked on it and took a look: Shen Xudong's "Human Eradication Project" created by Lionsgate was released last week, with $32.5 million in the first weekend, and it is reported that the film cost only $3 million...

More than "Stupid Funny Show 2", "Huo Yuanjia"...

A few days ago, Xudong has gone to North America to discuss the production of a sequel, and Gao Fenfen, vice chairman of Tianmei Company, introduced that Xudong has a series of film plans in North America, "Human Removal Plan" is only the first one, and next year there will be two movies "Juno" and "The Fault in the Stars" will be released...

In addition, Gao Dong revealed that Xu Dong went to North America to discuss the "Human Removal Plan", but also to participate in the North American distribution and publicity of "Hurricane Rescue"...

This is only the first article, and the second article is much the same, except at the end, 'Gao Fenfen inadvertently said that Xudong has been irritated recently, because "Exquisite Ancient City" has been frustrated, and "Human Eradication Plan" has been a big hit in North America, which makes him feel good...'

Frustrated? What frustration?

Tianya, post it, a bunch of people are breaking the news...
