Chapter 1283: Big ship, set sail

New York, USA.

Even though the $50 million promotion budget was invested according to the specifications of the blockbuster movie and the super high production cost of 200 million US dollars was well known to everyone, the film still seemed a bit tepid when it opened in North America on December 12.

The main reason is that there are too many noises about this movie.

In Manhattan, in a flagship theater of Oden Cinema in Soho, Jack Henderson, who got off work from Yuntong, rushed here and was still a little late. Fortunately, his girlfriend Daniela Hawley did not criticize him because another couple who also arrived early, Alexander Kennett and Kate Henderson were quarreling.

Alexander is obviously not interested in "Titanic" like Jack, and perhaps because his girlfriend is a fan of Leonardo, this kind of lack of interest is even more serious.

What's more, today is the first week of Christmas. In addition to "Titanic", MGM's "King of Fighting 2" and Sony Pictures' "Fine Perfection" will also be released at the same time. Even "Shapes' Love History" released on a large scale this week after preview last week is better than "Titanic". "Shapes' Love History" includes actor Daniel Day Lewis and actress Kate Beckinsale in "Charlie's Angels".

Kate Beckinsale!

Compared to the British Rose Rachel Vizi, who is an intellectual lady in "Titanic", the cold and cool Kate Beckinsale can arouse men's emotions more.

No matter how bad it is, there are also a series of blockbusters in the gratitude period.

In short, watching anything is better than watching "Titanic" where James Cameron was overspent and collapsed? Moreover, it is said that the length of the film is still three hours, so if it is too bad, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable.

However, when Jack arrived, the dispute ended soon.

Alexander failed to defeat his girlfriend, and the four of them chose "Titanic".

He was convinced and dissatisfied. Even though the screening of "Titanic" happened to end in the backcourt, he saw some women coming out of the theater cryingly, and Alexander still scoffed.

Then enter the venue.

Then, three hours of shock.

They each hugged their girlfriends who were wiping their tears and walked out of the screening room. Jack and Alexander looked at each other in a glance.

Maybe, it's a good movie, right?

Kate, who shrank in his boyfriend's arms and wiped his tears with a tissue, repeatedly criticized James Cameron for letting his beloved Jack die, then looked up at Alexander: "Eric, I Jump, Do You Jump?"

Alexander: “…”

If I had just fallen in love in college, I would definitely not hesitate and jump. Now, I have been living together for several years after graduation and working together, and I have started talking about marriage. Is it still jumping?

Jump yarn.

Not in that mood.

Alexander felt his girlfriend's gaze and knew that it would be impossible not to dance this time. He could only nod, raise his voice, and speak with a perfunctory tone: "Jump, Jump!"

On the other hand, Daniela, who was impulsive in her boyfriend, burst out laughing, hugged Jack's arm and leaned over, and teased, "I almost thought it was my Huhu who ran out."

Huhu is a Pomeranian raised by Jack and Daniela.

Kate also had no choice but to hammer her boyfriend. After all, she passed the most emotional girl stage. She did not continue to force her boyfriend, but looked at Daniela: "Dana, can we see it again tomorrow morning? Don't you take care of them both?"

Daniela was a little moved, but she still shook her head: "Tomorrow morning, Jack and I plan to go to Chinatown. By the way, did you watch the video I recommended to you last night?"

"Well, it's not bad," Kate said as he understood: "You want to go to Chinatown, that, look for the things in the video?"

"Yes," Daniela nodded: "Jack and I are planning to go to China for vacation during the New Year, so we will go to the places in the video."

Alexander obviously also watched the videos recommended by Daniela and said, "I think those videos are deliberately posed. At least, the field is definitely not as beautiful as in the camera. You are likely to be disappointed if you go there."

But Kate was already moved, ignored her boyfriend's interruption and asked, "It should be quite troublesome to go to China, right?"

"It's not clear yet," Daniela said. "We are planning to consult some travel agencies on the weekend, and there are also visa issues."

Kate immediately looked at his boyfriend.

They haven't been on vacation together for a long time.

Alexander remembered some of the videos he had watched last night. He didn't like them, and he actually didn't hate them. Seeing his girlfriend's eyes coming over, he nodded helplessly again: "Jump, Jump!"

"You really think you are Huhu," Kate punched her boyfriend again and turned to Daniela: "Then let's go to Chinatown together tomorrow morning and ask about going to China. Also, "Titanic", we will watch it together tomorrow night, Oh, Leon... I mean, I want to go back to the theater now, Dana, okay?"

Daniela glanced at her boyfriend. Seeing that Jack had no objection, but she had no intention of continuing to accompany her, she nodded and said, "Okay."

The matter was decided, and the four of them had already arrived on the streets of Manhattan in the dark, intending to find a restaurant for dinner.

Kate continued to discuss the movie with Daniela for a while, entered a restaurant, sat down and took out his cell phone: "I want to call Kelly to talk about this movie. We talked about it two days ago, but she didn't even look down on my Jack. How could this work! Well, I'll call my mom later, and she should take her dad to see it. Oh, my Leon, so handsome."

“Jump, Jump!”

“Shut Up!”

...

In recent years, any film that can achieve phenomenal box office results in Hollywood has almost always been inseparable from a word-of-mouth effect.

When the word-of-mouth effect around "Titanic" was quietly brewing, neither Daenerys nor major media actually discovered it immediately, because it was not an easy task.

What the outside world saw was the first box office of "Titanic" the next day.

$12.67 million.

The single-day box office champion, however, is just an expected result.

The first day is 12.67 million, and it is expected to earn about 35 million in the first weekend, and around 55 million in seven days in the first week.

The first week of 500 to 60 million, the total box office in North America was 150 million, and the world was 400 million. This is the basic expectation of Daenerys Entertainment for "Titanic" after the global premiere of Venice. Now, things are developing in accordance with the forecast, and there is no surprise or joy.

Just like the previous thank you.

The gratitude period that has passed, whether it is the super heavy "Terminator 3" or the slightly dark horse "Wedding Singer", or Pixar's "The Bugs", as of the box office week before December 12, is just so well-behaved, that the entire gratitude period has been stolen by an electronic game.

After the first day, the first three days, Titanic earned $38.03 million.

Still within expectations.

Many media have begun to predict that "Titanic" will be crushed by "Flash 2" next week, and then, a super blockbuster with a budget of 200 million and a promotion of 50 million will end in disgrace. Even if it is stronger than Kevin Costner's "Future Water World", which is also out of control, it will be limited after all.

For Daenerys Entertainment, from "BJ Single Diary" at the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the result was that "Titanic" gave a very imperfect ending.

It can only be said that things in the world are unpredictable.

This public opinion trend only changed slightly after the box office was released in a full week from December 12 to December 18.

After 38.03 million in three days on the weekend, and seven days in a full week, Titanic finally earned $61.34 million, unexpectedly exceeding the $60 million range.

Not only that, people familiar with the film industry quickly saw the key.

Generally speaking, unless the working day spans a certain festival, such as Thursday's Thanksgiving, the box office of the three days on the weekend generally accounts for between 65% and 70% of the entire week. Those with poor reputation may exceed 70%, because no one watches the weekend. On the contrary, videos with excellent reputation will naturally be in the event of a large number of viewers buying tickets on the weekdays.

In the first week of "Titanic", the box office of $38.03 million was only 61%.

This shows a little bit.

Many viewers, for some reason, chose to go to watch this movie on a busy weekday after missing their weekend leisure.

Why?

Of course it cannot be a supernatural event.

It can only be said that "Titanic" is more popular with audiences than many media predicted.

On December 19, the day when the new box office week began, the 55th Golden Globe Awards of the United States Film and Television was announced. "Titanic" led the lead with 8 nominations including Best Picture in the Drama category, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor in the Drama category, and Best Actress in the Drama category. Although it is inevitable to encounter some criticisms such as "public relations", combined with the film's box office, it seems that it also indicates something again.

However, even if the signs turn better, everyone's attention is still more attracted by the new week of "The Flash 2".

After the overall gratitude period is tepid, everyone can only look forward to "The Flash 2" to carry the flag at the end of the year. This is also the only super bombshell that is generally believed to be expected to exceed the local $300 million.

Faced with the strength of "The Flash 2", several other films of the same week, and even the same period, including "Titanic" the previous week, were overshadowed.

Warner Bros. is also full of expectations for this completely exclusive project.

Based on the production budget of $150 million, Warner invested up to $70 million in publicity and development expenses, with a total cost of $220 million, almost close to the 250 million Titanic. However, the 250 million Titanic's $250 million was out of control and a failure, and no one felt that it was inappropriate for "The Flash 2".

Last year's "Wonder Woman 2" had a global box office of 1.053 billion US dollars, not to mention the various peripherals that are also popular in the DC Cinema Universe series.

Although "Wonder Woman 2" is riding on the warmth of the super battle and there are three heroes involved, even if "Flash 2" cannot be compared with "Wonder Woman 2", the global guaranteed $700 million and another $800 million or 900 million is not a big problem. Therefore, the total investment of $220 million will definitely make a big profit.

Therefore, the release scale of "The Flash 2" has also reached the largest end of the year, with 4,091 screens being released at one time, nearly 1,000 more theaters than the 3,159 canvas of "Titanic" the previous week.

When everyone thought that a certain reversal tendency of "Titanic" would be easily crushed by "The Flash 2", the box office was released on Saturday, December 20, the day before, and the first day of the cross-Christmas box office week, which was thought to be less suspense, still had an accident.

First of all, there is no suspense about the big sale of "The Flash 2".

On the first day of the painting, including the midnight show, this DC movie universe super bombshell easily earned $23.76 million. After a good start, it is expected to be around 65 million on the first three days of the weekend, and seven days of the first week, which is very likely to exceed 100 million.

However, the problem is not "The Flash 2".

Instead, "Titanic" actually fell against the striking of "The Flash 2" and other new and old videos!

On the first day of the next week, this super-major production with a total investment of US$250 million was US$13.82 million in a single day, which was a 9% increase from US$12.67 million in the first day of the first week of the painting.

Many people’s first thought of getting single-day box office data on December 19 is doubt.

What's the situation?

A whole Christmas film was trembling in front of "The Flash 2", and some movies actually rose against the trend?

Do you look down on DC movie universe so much?

Or, is this a misplaced April Fools joke on Christmas, and someone got the data wrong?
