The premiere box office was $13.11 million, with an average A- in the questionnaire. ”

Helen looked at the data that Twentieth Century Fox had just transmitted, and showed a smile, "If nothing else, congratulations on your upcoming first weekly box office champion in your life." ”

Galley Hobritt was still in shock and did not come to his senses, "Saw 2" achieved a box office of $13.11 million on the first day of release, and it is even very likely that he won the first weekly box office championship in his life.

It took a long time for him to react and thank Ryan from the bottom of his heart: "How could it be that without Ryan's words, the box office of "Saw 2" on the first day would not have been able to earn $13.11 million. ”

His family knows his own affairs, and during the entire filming process of "Saw 2", he was at most the director, and every scene in the film was shot according to Ryan's opinion.

"Alright, Gurley, get ready for the cheers of the media and the audience. Ryan didn't mean to steal the show.

For him, the honor of "Saw 2" is not optional, but it is not necessary, not to mention that he is the producer of the film and the main investor of "Saw 2".

Thinking of the countless media and audiences he was about to face, Golly Hoblitt suddenly became nervous.

This is not an easy task, every word you say, you have to think carefully about it, beware of falling into the trap set by the media, so as to offend people and not say it, and may even lose your reputation.

Helen stood up, walked around her desk, and said a very critical question.

"The success of "Chainsaw 2", then Twentieth Century Fox, as one of the investors, must want to continue to invest in the next "Chainsaw Chainsaw" series of films, so Ryan, I want to hear your plans!"

Gorry Hoblitter became nervous again, and Ryan's answer was not only related to his cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox, but even whether he could continue to direct the next "Saw Horror".

"It's better to keep the status quo and continue to work with Twentieth Century Fox, but of course, you still need to talk about the specifics. ”

Ryan didn't say no to working with Twentieth Century Fox, and as Helen used to say, there are many things that can be avoided by working well with a Hollywood giant.

"However, on the next release schedule, it must not be the same as this year, two films will be released in succession, and at most one film can be filmed in a year. ”

His plan is very simple, and he guarantees that a "Saw" will be released every year.

It can not only get a steady stream of income, but also ensure the reputation of the film.

Ryan's words made Gorie Hobritt feel relieved, how to shoot a "Saw Horror" every year in the future, then it is very good news for him.

"One a year?"

"Very wise choice. ”

"I believe that Twentieth Century Fox does not want to ruin the reputation of "Chainsaw". Helen said it very bluntly.

Don't look at Ryan's two-thirds of the film's investment, Twentieth Century Fox only has one-third, but the actual income, Twentieth Century Fox's benefits, are only a lot more than Ryan's.

Sofia Coppola protested: "I want a raise, and I also need an errand worker, otherwise you will lose a very competent assistant." ”

"You can hire in person, and a raise is no problem either. Ryan agreed.

Sofia Coppola showed a satisfied look, and the next moment, she suddenly asked, "Ryan, I want to ask, what are your plans for the future of the studio?"

"Do you want to go on like this? Or are you going to start a film company! ”

Lucasfilm seems to have a very complete business and is one of the best second-tier Hollywood studios, but it does not have a North American distribution channel and rarely shoots films, so it does not seem to be much different from a studio in nature.

For the Hollywood giants, there is naturally no threat.

Contrary to Lucasfilm, the newly established DreamWorks, almost every Hollywood practitioner knows one thing, DreamWorks is ambitious.

"What can I do?"

"It's nice to keep it as it is. Ryan rolled his eyes, it was best to keep the status quo at this stage, he didn't want to take the lead and help DreamWorks attract firepower.

In contrast, maybe he can become a big director in the future, even on a par with George Lucas, but it is very difficult to become the owner of a film company.

Since the early 90s, media giants such as Viacom, Kongscut, and French Water Play Group have entered Hollywood.

For a time, Hollywood completely entered the era of media groups, and second-tier film companies and distribution companies were acquired by controlling companies.

Even DreamWorks and Lucasfilm are no exception.

So Ryan gave up the unrealistic idea for the time being, and instead of thinking about it, it was better to create a new script and continue the shameless behavior of taking advantage of the pit.

As for the copyrights to the many amazing comic superhero characters that have been bought, now is not the time to think about this.

Sophia wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ryan, not wanting to continue talking about the topic, at least not yet.

Even the "Saw Horror" series of films is enough to support a film company.

Almost at the same time, Twentieth Century Fox announced the first-day box office results of "Saw 2", and the whole Hollywood was shocked.

Whether it is the news media or Hollywood studios, it may be expected that the box office of "Saw 2" will not be too bad on the first day, but they did not expect that it will be $13.11 million at the box office, an extremely terrifying number.

The reason why "Saw 2" was able to achieve such box office results is very simple.

First of all, the box office and word-of-mouth of the last "Saw 2" have been harvested, and a large number of loyal fans have added movie tickets for "Saw 2".

Second, the timing of the release of "Saw 2", there were no commercial blockbusters released during the entire Christmas holiday, or it has been released for a while, and the popularity has passed.

The only "Burning Years" released at the same time is only a romance film.

makes "Saw 2" the most anticipated film during the Christmas holiday.

Third, the plot of "Saw 2" itself is very good, whether it is a thriller plot, bloody scenes, shooting techniques, etc., it is refreshing, and it is definitely a masterpiece in horror movies.

Again, "Saw 2" was released ahead of schedule, nearly ten years, at this time North American horror movies have not yet entered the final stage, and are at a peak stage, and the number of horror movie viewers far exceeds that of the twentieth century, thus creating the hit of "Saw 2".

If the premiere on the first day was just the beginning, then on Christmas Eve the second day, "Saw 2" completely showed its fangs.

On the night of Christmas Eve, more than 2,000 screens in North America screened Saw 2 at the same time.

More than half of the screening rooms were full, and even some of the most remote screening rooms had an attendance rate of more than 70 percent, an unbelievable number.

This is a horror film, not a commercial blockbuster.

A number of cinema companies had to temporarily increase the number of screens, and even some downtown movie theaters simply took out a screening room to play other films, and the rest of the screening halls were all used to expand the scale of "Chainsaw 2".

Even Tom Rothman, CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, can't believe that a horror film with an investment of only $4 million has detonated this year's Christmas holiday.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the hot scene in the cinema would have thought it was a propaganda method by the distribution department.

According to the predictions of Twentieth Century Fox professionals, even if the boom of "Saw 2" does not last long, this is a problem that horror movies will face.

But its North American box office is likely to exceed $100 million and dominate the entire Christmas holiday.

$4 million investment in exchange for $100 million at the box office, I have to say, this is a box office miracle.

The spring box office dark horse "Blair the Witch", the summer box office dark horse "Chainsaw", and the "Chainsaw 2" that dominated the Christmas holiday.

From the box office of the above three films, the value of Ryan Gosling can be fully reflected.

Thinking of this, Tom Rothman pulls out the phone and feels like he has to do something to make Ryan Gosling and her agent realize the importance of working with Twentieth Century Fox.

"A warning to Michael Ovitz and tell him to be honest and not to make any petty moves. ”
