Chapter 291 North American Box Office $100 Million
July 16.
After 10 days of small-scale screening, the Witch Blair and the day finally expanded the screening again.
1900 cinemas!
That's right, the screening scale has risen from the original 29 cinemas to 97, and now it has a total of 1,900 cinemas.
It has to be said that Wald Pictures is now quite strong in North America.
In the original time and space, Yijiang Entertainment devoted all its strength, used all its strength, and gave many benefits to the theaters, and only obtained the screening scale of 1,100 cinemas, Wald Pictures easily obtained 1,900 cinemas during the summer season.
This is the gap in strength!
With the large-scale release of the movie, the promotional funds must naturally keep up.
After the first $5 million funding was spent, Wald Pictures once again spent $14 million to promote the movie Blair, the Witch.
"Where can we get a high box office without big investment?"
Bill McNick, president of Wald Pictures, is naturally well versed in this way, and he is simply too skillful in his operation.
"Mysterious!"
"Idiots, remember that Blair the Witch is a three-no movie with no star actors, no famous directors, no exciting special effects, and a production cost of only $60,000. We must keep the audience's sense of mystery about the movie."
"Otherwise, we'll all be done!"
"Popular magazines, fashion week, the Internet, keep our popularity alive and all move me!"
For a moment, the entire Wald Pictures fell into a busy and stressful job.
The expanded release of the Witch Blair is naturally a blessing for moviegoers.
“Born!”
"I finally bought the ticket!"
"Everyone says it is a real case, the police station's top secret file is a video that is scary and worth the death. I want to see how scary it is."
San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Seattle
There are many movie theaters in major cities and even small cities across the United States on this day. They buy tickets to enter the theater just to see the horror of the witch Blair.
But
Many people cursed on the spot after watching the movie!
"Shit!"
"What the hell is this trash?"
"Man, are you sure today isn't April Fool's Day? I can't feel any horror in the whole video. There are only shaking and dizzy shots, the quality is even more rough, and the overall experience is not friendly at all."
Many people feel deceived.
Even, many people noticed: "This is not a top-secret file at all. Maybe the production company is playing tricks on everyone and deceiving consumers."
There are still many smart people.
However, after the expanded screening of the Witch Blair, the box office results of the day were very spectacular!
$27 million!
That's right, the movie's North American box office was as high as 27 million US dollars that day, ranking first in the North American box office rankings that day.
The movies released at the same time, whether it is Warner's $50 million big production Hurricane Men, or Universal Pictures' classic comedy American Pie, all of them are below the Witch Blair.
Other movies have become cannon fodder during this period!
There is no doubt that Wald Pictures' targeted viral and fraudulent marketing has achieved unprecedented success.
On July 17, the movie will receive another $21 million
On July 18, another $17 million was recorded
As of July 22, after the Witch Blair expanded the scale of the screening, it was broadcast in a large-scale week, and combined with previous gains, it achieved a total of US$1.1 billion in North American box office.
In an instant, the whole country was in an uproar.
Many Hollywood film companies are so angry that they stamp their feet!
"The mean and shameless Wald Pictures!"
"So shameless!"
"This trick is really dirty!"
Warner's Barry Meyer saw what Zucker and Wald Pictures were planning, so did other Hollywood film companies really not notice it at all?
Of course not!
There are countless talented people in Hollywood!
However, Zhuke was not worried at all.
To put it bluntly, although there are many competitive relationships in Hollywood, it is also a community of interests.
In this industry, production companies and distribution companies, with a large amount of resources and high amounts of money, are naturally at the top of the entire industrial chain and are the players of this capital game. The six major Hollywood players are the top high-end players. They are dominating many groups such as actors, agents, directors, lighting artists, photographers, editors, special effects artists, etc.
Everyone makes a living by this industry!
The better the image of Hollywood's "glorious and upright" is, the better the development will naturally be, and everyone will make money.
Do you want to expose any hidden rules of the industry, all the conventional tacit understanding, or even scandals?
A single hair moves the whole body!
If you expose one, it is equivalent to meeting hundreds of film companies in Hollywood, big and small.
It is absolutely better tolerate the behavior of smashing jobs!
In all Hollywood in the 1990s, many actresses exposed the "red sofa" and "unspoken rules" incidents, but have they caused a big wave?
No!
Even as we enter the 21st century, Harvey Weinstein and other top Hollywood producers were exposed, which led to their resignation, but look at the actors who participated in the exposure, how many of them could survive in Hollywood later?
There are still a few that are still prosperous?
Tacitly banned!
All gamers from major Hollywood film companies will never allow scandals to be exposed outside the industry. Whoever dares to stab is the common enemy of everyone.
So far, no one dares to provoke this "rule"!
If you are a stubborn person, then you can wait to disappear from Hollywood
Similar to the major film companies in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, which film company encountered a scandal? Look at the other film companies, which one of them was the one who took the blame?
The film and television industry is prosperous and the other is loss!
So far, there are many people who see through Juke's plan like Barry Meyer, but none of them speak out or participate in the exposure.
As for the creator of the witch Blair who will be pushed to the stage in the future, he is a scapegoat!
No one in Hollywood will sympathize with them!
Because everyone does this!
really
When the opposition on the Internet and the navy was about to be suppressed, Wald Pictures made another trick.
Genius director, genius planner!
Blair the Witch is a movie, a movie that costs only $60,000!
The two directors of Blair Witch, Daniel McRick, and Ed Yado Sanchiz, were pushed to the forefront by Wald Pictures.
"Go, two!"
Kevin Feige took them to appear on the TV network under Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.
"The Witch Blair was planned by you and even filmed by you. Even the official website collects information about the disappearance of the witch and the population was originally derived from your creativity. Now the movie has achieved a record of over 100 million US dollars in North America. You have made great contributions and are great contributors. Now it is time for you to enjoy cheers, flowers and honor!"
Kevin Feige tempted two rookie directors with incisive distractions.
The viral and fraudulent marketing of the witch Blair seems to be hidden, so he must launch a scapegoat to bear the anger that is about to explode.
Once the TV program is broadcast, there will be a round of publicity.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Wald Pictures has won it cleanly.
Well, Qingqingbaibaiwald!
"Poor, no one will sympathize with you." Faced with the thanks from the two directors, Kevin Feige immediately disdained him very much.
The second update is given.
Chapter completed!
