384 Horror Movies That Swept America
In order to eliminate industry monopoly, American film production companies and theaters are completely independent.
The "exclusive agreement" that China can use does not work here, because if you are not careful, you may be prosecuted for suspected monopoly on filming.
But there is no way to target another movie for one movie. As long as you can make money for theaters, you can of course swallow up the screening of your opponent's movies.
However, it was surprising that Wei Xun was about to leave half of the filming of "Ghost Baby" as soon as he opened his mouth.
He stared at the young Chinese and said, "In fact, this is impossible unless the box office of "Saw" can be half as high as "Ghost Baby".
"Then you can start preparing to schedule "Saw" to add filming."
Wei Xun stood up with a smile and said, "This is my first time in Hollywood to shoot a movie. I will shoot more in the future. Emile Cinema is also the first to take the initiative to find my theater. The first time we cooperate, we should be as happy as possible, so that we will have the next cooperation, right?"
This confidence is very surprising.
Simmons shrugged and said, "In fact, I haven't worked with Chinese filmmakers, but you are very different from them."
Those movies brought from China are often not sold in the United States, so when American theaters work with them, they will be flattered, and they will not mention the amazing request of "eat others' scheduled films".
But today, Simmons and Wei Xun have always been equal in this conversation with Wei Xun.
"Because before I came out to see you, the number of interactive games in "Saw" had been applied for 1,200 games, and 1,200 games. What does this mean? I think you know very well. Otherwise, how could I win 15% of the screenings so easily with you? Of course, 15% is just today, and if you give me tomorrow, 15%..."
Wei Xun said this, smiled and continued, "Sorry, I have to leave. Kuchi's filming manager is still waiting for me to sign the contract."
Kuchi?
The fourth-ranked theater chain in the United States has 1,800 theaters.
Simmons was completely shocked this time.
No wonder Wei Xun was so confident when talking to him. It turned out that the theaters that were connected to "Saw" include not only Emil Cinemas, but also Kuchi Cinemas.
It seems that the Rotten Tomatoes rating index this time, coupled with the hot marketing of "Saw", has made this movie a popular celebrity in the eyes of theaters.
What's more, those 1,200 interactive sessions will be full as long as they are opened. For theaters, they will make sure to make a profit without losing money!
On 8.25, the fourth day of the release of "Ghost Baby" and "Saw".
"Saw" officially connects to 2,700 theaters across the United States.
It only took a short day to release. Major horror forums and Rotten Tomatoes websites all received good reviews for this horror movie!
“Saw is definitely the bloodiest and most violent horror movie I’ve ever seen.”
"My girlfriend was scared to tears in the cinema."
"I thought it was marketing to cheat people before, but after watching "Saw", I was completely convinced. This director is really talented!"
A truly good movie can be completely relied on its reputation after keeping up with marketing and screening.
Moreover, "Saw" itself also has legendary highlights, such as a bet of 10 million yuan, an astonishing 14-day shooting cycle, and an investment of less than 500,000 US dollars...
In addition, the previous interactive sessions have taken the lead in sprinkling small Mars in various parts of the United States. These small Mars, accompanied by the subsequent celebrity effect of "Saw", and legendary story marketing, have changed from Mars to flames, and then completely burned on the land of the United States.
So, "Saw" exploded.
Still a big hit!
The film section of the Los Angeles Times commented on "Saw" as follows: "There are long queues in the cinema, and everyone's goals are amazingly consistent. They bought tickets for "Saw", but many people still can't buy them. Such a scene that is hard to come by hasn't been staged in the United States for many years. Unbelievable, a movie shot by Chinese people actually swept the entire United States. Whether on the Internet or in real life, there are too many people discussing this movie. You may even feel that it is not the end of August, but Halloween is coming early, because the entire United States has been captured by a horror craze."
The review of this newspaper is not false.
Because there are only two theaters signed by "Saw", it is indeed a situation where tickets are hard to come by.
In just one day, the reputation of this movie was completely detonated, and the terrible aspects of the "chain saw madman" are talked about everywhere on the Internet.
And on Facebook, #Saw# has reached the ninth place in the hot search.
It is not based on Ella's marketing, nor does it rely on money ability to operate. "Saw" relies on discussions from many movie fans to become a hot search list on Facebook.
Two days ago, this movie was unknown in the United States, but in just a few days, it was completely a big hit in the United States.
Because of the 10 million US dollar bet, and the release of "Ghost Baby" and "Saw" at the same time, when people praise "Saw", they inevitably have to compare "Ghost Baby" to make a comparison.
“IMHO, compared to “Saw”, “Ghost Baby” is really boring.”
"It's not that "Ghost Baby" is shit. In fact, this movie is OK, the average R-level movie level, but with "Saw", it is completely compared. Rotten Tomatoes scored 7.3. I think Baldwin not only won't get 10 million this time, but he may also have to recognize his father of 1.3 billion. Oh my God, he is such a pitiful ghost."
"If you want to challenge yourself, you should watch "Saw". There is really no need to watch "Ghost Baby"."
Golden Lion Headquarters, General Manager’s Office.
Smith Mayer looked at the comments about "Saw" and "Ghost Baby" on the Internet, and felt so angry that he felt a little distorted.
And Baldwin, opposite him, was not much better either.
I thought I had a sure win, but I didn’t expect that in just over a dozen days, "Saw" was completely exploded!
A movie with a shooting cycle of fourteen days and an investment of less than 500,000 US dollars broke out "Ghost Baby". Thinking of this, Smith Mayer felt a burning pain.
It can be predicted that the Golden Lion must have become a laughing stock for many people now.
The atmosphere in the office was so quiet that no one spoke, either Baldwin or Smith Mayer.
Because they are waiting, waiting for the first day of "Saw" box office.
"The result is out, Mr. Mayer."
At this time, a blond white female secretary pushed the door and said with an ugly face: "The first day of "Saw" has a box office of 14 million yuan, with a 47% attendance rate, and..."
The first-day box office of 14 million US dollars, and the terrifying attendance rate of 47%.
Hearing this terrible data, Baldwin stood up from his seat in shock and said in a lost voice: "God, how is this possible."
"Damn Baldwin, you'd better shut up now."
Smith Mayer glanced at Baldwin fiercely and asked the female secretary: "And what?"
The female secretary swallowed and said in a difficult voice: "And our filming schedule was snatched away by "Saw" by 8%.
Hearing this, Smith Mayer was a little unresponsive.
In Hollywood, at the Golden Lion's base camp, they were actually snatched by a Chinese director to schedule the film?
Chapter completed!
