At the end of the film screening on the screen, there was no applause, but a faint hint of cursing.

"Damn the director, it's so disgusting to shoot the film. ”

"My goddess Monica Bellucci, my heart is broken. ”

"The actor who plays Amanda Young is very beautiful, does anyone know what her name is?"

Ryan took the opportunity to listen to it for a while, and the evaluation was not bad, except that the content of the film was bloody and disgusting, there was no bad evaluation.

For a horror film, bloody and disgusting is not a negative effect, but it shows that the film has a good reputation.

You can't let a horror movie be full of warmth, that's looking for death.

For example, "Invasion of Evil Spirits", almost two months after its release, the North American box office finally barely exceeded $50 million, and it was only a matter of time before it was released.

The overseas box office is even lower than the North American box office, only $43.56 million, and the global box office of the film is $94.11 million, which is expected to be difficult to exceed $100 million.

Of course, the film cost only $10 million, which is a great success for Twentieth Century Fox.

Next, Ryan went to several movie theaters in a row, and it was rare to be full, knowing that today is not a holiday, just Friday.

At least intuitively, "Saw 3" is unlikely to fail, and with the accumulated good reputation, the box office is likely to hit $100 million.

The only thing to worry about is the sequel film "Detective Plane Head" produced by Warner Bros. and starring Jim Carrey, as well as "GoldenEye", one of the 007 series films produced by Lianmei, which will be released in early November.

A little further away, there is also the "Toy Story" that Ryan has been looking forward to is about to be released.

In other words, Saw 3 is about to face stiff competition.

"Congratulations Ryan. Charlize Theron gleefully congratulated, "You've done a miracle." ”

Even if she is not a Hollywood veteran, she also has an intuitive awareness that the box office of "Saw 3" is likely to be a big hit, and it can even go down in Hollywood history.

Of course, she is not referring to the box office of "Saw 3", but the entire "Saw 3" series.

Three films in a row were big hits, and all the combined investments did not exceed $30 million, but they created hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, which is enough to go down in Hollywood history.

"Charlie, one day in the future, you will also go down in the history books of Hollywood. Ryan recalls the experience of Charlize Theron in his previous life, which is indeed enough to go down in the history books of Hollywood, and to be known as the South African diamond, which belongs to the national treasure of South Africa.

Charlize Theron only smiled at this, as a compliment to Ryan.

She doesn't have any lofty pursuits that will go down in Hollywood history now, she just wants to make a little more money.

It wasn't until late evening that Ryan drove Charlize Theron back.

On Saturday afternoon the next day, Twentieth Century Fox sent the premiere data of "Saw 3" to the studio.

"Saw 3" opened on more than 2,000 screens on its first day and easily earned $14.33 million at the box office, which was a little higher than Ryan expected.

During the Saturday holiday, the box office could have grown a bit, earning $15.68 million again.

There was a slight decline on Sunday, with a one-day gain of $10.38 million.

Three days after the opening weekend, "Saw 3" earned a total of $40.39 million in North America, beating "Shorty Man" with $10.2 million and winning the first weekly box office title.

Moreover, it is not over yet, and when the first working day arrives, the box office will inevitably drop sharply, with a decline of more than 50 percent, and only $4.28 million at the box office.

On Halloween on the 31st, there was another rebound, with a single-day box office of $8.6 million.

In just five days, the box office has exceeded $50 million, reaching $53.27 million.

Even if "Saw 3" seems to be a little weak, the box office drop is slightly larger.

It is expected that the total box office of the film may be slightly less than the previous "Saw 2", but it still has a chance to hit the $100 million mark.

The lack of the Christmas holiday, as well as the upcoming competition of "Detective Plane Nose 2" and "GoldenEye", is also something that cannot be helped.

In many cases, whether a film can achieve a super high box office has a lot to do with the release schedule.

Most of the moviegoers of commercial popcorn movies and horror movies are young, so the holidays are very crucial.

According to the statistics of the survey agency, 69% of the audience of "Saw 3" is under the age of 25, and 51% of the audience is male.

However, the winter vacation of American universities generally starts two weeks before Christmas and ends in early January, which means that the largest movie-watching group of "Saw 3" has no holiday.

"Saw 3" may not be as good as the previous "Saw 2" because of the schedule disadvantage, but it is still a big hit, as one of the film investment companies and the distribution company Twentieth Century Fox, it naturally has the confidence to strive for more screen releases.

"More than 50 percent drop?"

Inside the AMC Cinema Company building, Robert looked at the data in his hand, frowned, and said: "Inform Twentieth Century Fox that before the release of "Detective Plane 2", the number of screens and the scheduling rate of "Saw 3" will not be reduced. ”

On November 10, with the release of "Detective Nose 2", "Saw 3" will inevitably reduce the number of screens released.

As for the number of screens in "GoldenEye", it is impossible to continue to increase for the time being, and the screens that are vacant at the end of the month need to be reserved for "Toy Story", unless the box office results of "GoldenEye" in the first weekend can exceed expectations. ”

After Robert finished speaking, he looked at the time and called the assistant to inform Twentieth Century Fox and United States.

"Ryan Gosling?"

"A director who can work miracles!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Robert's mouth, and he said to himself, "I hope you can bring me a surprise." ”

As the distribution company of "Truman's World", Paramount has long negotiated with a number of theater companies about the number of screens on which the film will be released.

Since the first "Blair the Witch", many theater companies in North America have recognized Ryan as a director who can create miracles, otherwise even if the distribution company of "Truman's World" is Paramount, it will be difficult to get too many screens.

Competition is expected to be fierce this year's Christmas schedule, and it will not be easy for any film to get a lot of screens.

Almost at the same time, in the studio, Ryan met Penelope Patacci again, along with Helen.

"Miss Penelope, a pleasure to work with. ”

Ryan signed his name on the agency agreement, and Penelope Pataky's lawyer, the tax firm, represented all of his business, including the studio's legal counsel.

Of course, the business is limited to North America, and Penelope-Patacki's law firm has just been established, and it is not very large, and there is no international practice.

Fortunately, Ryan's business, except for some investments, is in the movie, and he has not been involved abroad for the time being.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Penelope Patage reached out and shook Ryan's hand very delicately.

In fact, for Ryan in front of him, Penelope Patage is very curious in his heart, what kind of person can continue to create miracles.

She knows one thing very well, the value of the "Saw Horror" series of films is absolutely beyond imagination.

However, the creator of the entire series of films, standing in front of him at this time, has just reached a cooperation with her.

"Helen will tell you all the details about the copyright of Marvel Comics and Spider-Man. ”

Ryan just signed the cooperation agreement, casually put it in the drawer, and said: "Solve this matter as soon as possible, buy the copyright of Spider-Man, the price can be more expensive." ”

As long as it's not a lion's mouth, Ryan can accept a premium on the Marvel comics.

"No problem. Helen looked flat and said, "I'll give you all the information later." ”

"As for the Marvel comics, I'll try to convince as well. ”

Looking at Helen's demeanor, Penelope Patage seemed to see another self, both of whom were very shrewd women, the only difference was that she was a lawyer, and the other party was a brokerage firm.

"Okay. Penelope Pataki nodded.

"Ryan, Chris Witch wants to meet you in person, and the Toy Story premiere invitation. Speaking of this, Helen couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.

Since investing in Blue Sky Studio, Ryan has been there almost a handful of times, and it is estimated that the newly recruited employees may not necessarily know him as a boss.

However, Sofia Coppola often goes over, and many things about financial matters have been contacted by Ryan through her.

"I'll take the time to go there. Ryan said.

It's time to have a good talk with Chris Witch now.

With the release of "Toy Story" imminent, the era of 3D animated feature films is coming, and Blue Sky Studios will surely become one of the pioneers and share a very sweet cake.
