The premiere had just ended, and the audience had not completely left, and the investigators from the Disney Pictures outsourcing company had already reported the collected statistics to the statisticians.

The man immediately entered the relevant data into the computer, and soon got accurate statistics and sent them to the docking staff of Disney Studios.

On the other side, Alan Horn had just accompanied Martin out of the VIP room.

His assistant walked over quickly and whispered, "President, the audience has been counted."

Martin heard it too, and cast an attentive look.

Alan Horn nodded slightly.

The assistant said, "It's basically all praise, and the average score of the audience is A+!"

At the mention of the latter sentence, Alan Horn couldn't help but laugh and looked at Martin: "I said that the North American audience never abandons their darling."

Martin also laughed, "I can only say that the film is right for their appetite."

There are two styles to choose from when shooting, one is to follow the style of the original book and shoot it as a hard science fiction movie with a science and technology orientation.

The other is the current bias towards plot and humor.

Martin naturally chose the latter.

And Ridley Scott also chose the latter.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Ridley can always return to blood through science fiction themes.

The two of them arrived at the side entrance of the theater.

Alan Horn shakes Martin's hand: "I wish us a big box office hit!"

Martin smiled and said, "Good luck with us at the box office!"

Coming out the side door, he got into the Escalade that Bruce had opened and left the theater.

On a Cadillac that drove by, the window was lowered, revealing Jessica Chastain's fair face.

She waved at Martin.

On the other side of the back seat, Alexandra D'Addario also sits.

The two stayed in the same hotel.

Martin nodded at them slightly, and without saying anything more, the two cars were already staggering.

Above Cadillac, Jessica Chastain raised the window and said to the driver, "Go to the Ritz-Carlton."

Daddario next to him was busy scrolling through his phone.

Jessica Chastain asked, "Did Martin message you?"

"Nope." D'Addario said, "I'm watching the comments on our online video."

Jessica Chastain took her phone out of her handbag and looked at it as well.

Nowadays, there are more and more smartphone users, and the speed at which information spreads is getting faster and faster.

Like a movie, after watching or even watching it, there will be fans tweeting.

"After watching Martin's new film, I understand how to face the bleak life with an optimistic attitude!"

"A particularly good space wilderness survival movie, Martin's performance alone supported the whole film."

"True knowledge changes fate, and Martin entertained himself so well!"

"Martin easily holds up a one-man show, Ridley Scott is not too good at handling sci-fi themes, Jessica Chastain is bubbling in the supporting role, and Alexandra Daddario in a tight base layer is so good that it explodes!"

Cadillac soon came to the hotel and drove into the underground parking lot.

Jessica Chastain and D'Addario get out of the car and take the elevator upstairs, where the latter pulls out the room card Martin gave her at the premiere and enters a suite.

Daddario has been here a few times, going to the bar and opening the wine cabinet, taking a bottle of wine and three glasses out, and pouring them next to each other.

Jessica Chastain glanced at the time, "Martin hasn't arrived yet."

Daddario said, "Wait a minute, he's got a lot to do."

After ten minutes, the door opened from the outside, and Martin entered the room.

Jessica Chastain is leaning on the bar, holding a goblet and slowly sipping wine.

Looking over from Martin's side, the curve is on full display.

Alexandra D'Addario wears

The red dress, sitting behind the bar, there may be something too heavy, she deliberately rested them on the bar, and it looked quite amazing.

Elizabeth went to London the other day, and Martin has been recuperating lately, waiting for this kind of moment.

He took off his blazer, hung it casually on a hanger, and strode over.

Because of their confidence in "The Martian", on the night of the premiere, the crew and Disney Studios lifted the ban on the film's reputation.

Most of the voices in the media are applauding.

"The significance of 'The Martian' is not only that Ridley Scott has completed a self-redemption, but also that through the indomitable tenacity of the male protagonist played by Martin, it can rekindle the human desire to explore space!"

"It's a pleasure to watch Martin Davis's one-man show, although humans have not yet landed on Mars, but under Martin's interpretation, the hero's Martian survival miracle is very convincing!"

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 97%, and the TC overall score is 82 points.

Whether it is film critics and media, or ordinary audiences, the reputation of the film is excellent.

At the same time, Martin's major fan organizations in North America, as well as the local branches of the Coke God Cult, have launched the "Take Martin Home" campaign.

Lucky viewers who participate in the event will have a chance to win a scaled-down rover or a Martin character figure from the film.

These are all stimulating fans to buy tickets as soon as possible.

Nowadays, there are too many entertainment and information is too developed, and a film cannot attract as many audiences as possible to the theater in the first two weeks, and the follow-up trend will be much more difficult.

After all, there are too few films like "Titanic" and "Avatar" that have box office trends.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, "The Martian" was fully released in North America, with 3,855 theaters open.

A day later on Friday, the film was reported to have received $27.12 million!

Because the number of rating users reached and IDB unlocked the rating, "The Martian" scored as high as 8.8 points.

With the support of explosive word-of-mouth, the box office rose again on Saturday, and the day's harvest exceeded $30 million.

Anyone can see that from the beginning of the holiday file to the present, the most popular movie was born.

The film was a huge success in North America and also caused a strong response overseas.

Because it is not a sequel and an adaptation of a world-renowned work, Disney Studios has adopted a conservative distribution strategy for the overseas distribution of "The Martian".

The film will only be released in one market in North America first, and will wait until the North American box office and word of mouth are released before being released overseas.

This also shows that Disney Studios has a strong belief in the film and Martin.

During the three days of the North American weekend, "The Martian" had a good reputation and a box office explosion, earning $86.65 million, successfully topping the North American box office charts.

Disney Pictures, Office of the President.

Alan Horn had just had a cup of coffee when he received a call from Robert Iger.

He immediately answered, "Good morning, Chairman."

Robert Iger's hearty laughter came from the earpiece, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "I just read the data from The Martian, and the market response has been very good. Alan, you've done a good job of getting a critical deal from Warner Bros."

Alan Horn also laughed: "Martin never disappoints."

Robert Iger agrees: "I've heard that the surrounding area is selling well, too?"

Alan Horn replied, "Martin alone sold more than 2 million character models and figures."

Now that Disney is ambitious and ready to make a big move, Robert Iger advises, "Settle down with Martin, and his films will enjoy the highest distribution level."

He added: "In today's Hollywood, there are too few movie stars who can resist the box office alone."

Allan

- Horn said, "You can count them on one hand."

Robert Iger added: "There is no shortage of collaborators for people like Martin, Alan, you are from Warner, don't make Warner's mistakes."

Alan Horn smiled and replied, "No."

Robert Iger hung up.

Alan Horn understands that Disney Studios and Martin's successive collaborations on "Fast and Furious 2" and "The Martian" have attracted Robert Iger's attention.

After all, the risk of distributing films is low, and you can also get a large commission.

The higher the film's box office and offline revenue, the higher the revenue of Disney Studios as the distributor.

Alan Horn picked up a copy of The Hollywood Reporter with the headlines Martin and The Martian on the front page.

"After the opening weekend box office explosion of the whole film "The Martian", Martin Davis once again proved his ability to carry the box office of a movie, not only the first person of the new generation in Hollywood, but even on an equal footing with his best friends Leonardo and Nicholson in Hollywood, provided that he has an Oscar for Best Actor......

Seeing this, Alan Horn put down the newspaper, pressed the intercom, and informed the assistant: "Help me make an appointment with Martin, and if he has time at noon, I will invite him to lunch."

Hollywood is never stingy with people who can create value.

Annapurna Films.

Megan Ellison had a party yesterday, drank a little too much, got up late this morning, and came to the office in the middle of the morning.

Entering the office lobby, just in time to meet Wilson about to go out, she asked, "Is Martin Davis' new film out at the box office?"

Wilson quickly stopped and replied, "$86.65 million, the top box office."

Hearing this number, Megan Ellison couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, very good!"

Wilson made her confused, didn't the boss and the company have a problem with Martin Davis? How do you applaud his films?

"You're busy." Megan Ellison went upstairs and asked the assistant to bring over a copy of today's Los Angeles Times.

On the headline of the entertainment section of the newspaper, there is last week's North American box office list, and "The Martian" ranks first!

Megan Ellison nodded, Martin Davis's project is no problem, such a box office in the first week is definitely a hit.

It reminded her of the three projects that were snatched from Martin Davis – "Transcendental Hacker," "The Lone Ranger," and "The Seventh Son."

Megan Ellison is very confident that as long as there are no problems with the project itself, there will be no problems with the filming and production on her side.

Annapurna Films is well-funded and hires the most professional team in Hollywood.

Unlike Warner's group of idiots, who have been doing incomprehensible things for more than a year.

Megan Ellison's eyes have fallen on the first place in the box office list again, and I believe that after a long time, her film can reach this position!
