MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 1193 First week box office

"Do you remember this?"

Judy's eyes squinted at Eric, but there was some strange feeling in my heart. She also clearly remembered that she met a certain time last year, and she rudely refused the invitation of the little man in front of her to give her an excuse to honour her. I didn't expect that in the past year, I still couldn't escape the guy's claws.

"Of course," Eric nodded, and said with a sigh of relief: "I am so upright, how can I deliberately owe something to others? Oh, please have dinner at night."

"You really have no idea," Judy said in a small voice: "Just eating?"

"How about we eating at the Sharp Point Estate?" Eric said with a smile on his face, "I have eaten dinner, what do you want to do, can I still resist it?"

Judy sighed softly, did not agree, but did not refuse, said: "Don't be so serious, or talk about novels, it will be published next month."

Eric also put a smile on his face and turned his attention to the manuscript in front of him. He said: "The idea of ​​an open ending is very good. However, it is not appropriate for Ryan to successfully return to Earth. It is better to continue. Some plots don't need to be too long, but they should give the reader more imagination."

When I chatted, I didn’t know if I spent the afternoon quietly.

In the evening, Eric once again mentioned the invitation in the afternoon, Judy hesitated a little, and returned to the sharp corner manor with Eric.

Wake up the next morning, Eric is no longer around, but Judy has not given birth to a small woman.

I have always been interested in this shell villa that has become an iconic building in Los Angeles, so after dressing and washing, I left the exaggerated big bedroom and curiously walked around the villa.

Occasionally, I stopped to look at the artwork on the wall. She didn't know much about it, but she recognized it. Some of them should be painted by the guy himself, but they were brought out and hung with the famous people.

The heart sneered at him a little, but realized that the guy now has this qualification, and his "gravity" script, she is now carefully collected.

Thoughts are always inseparable from a little man, and inexplicably think of the gambling contract he mentioned yesterday, as well as some things that have been planned recently.

She had wanted a child last year, but it was only a year because of the gravity.

perhaps.

It seems that there was no special protective measures last night.

She took the initiative to ask, but also lied to him that he was in a safe period. Now think about it, there are some expectations in your subconscious.

After all, her heterosexual friends are still quite a few, but she can make her have some feelings that should exist between the opposite sex, but only one of them.

However, she is still hesitant about his identity. She does not want to be suspected of any attempt at his eye-catching assets, and she even expects her children to stay away from them in the future.

As a teenager, she has never been troubled by things like her livelihood, so she is very faint about things like money.

If you can be pregnant, then since he still owes himself a gamble, he can ask for the child to raise the child alone. He does not lack women, he already has three children, and he will not refuse to come.

Thinking about these things, I unknowingly got to the kitchen downstairs.

He was busy at the kitchen counter, wearing a light gray turtleneck sweater on his upper body and holding his cuffs. The bottom was khaki casual trousers. The tall and straight figure and the sharp side face made her unable to stop. Looking at a few more eyes, it again produced some feelings of heart.

After the man found out, she smiled at her, so she walked over and squatted at the kitchen counter to see that he skillfully cut an apple, and then noticed the bite on his right arm again.

Bite it.

Inexplicably produced this thought, she could not help but laugh.

Eric turned his head and looked at the woman and said, "What do you think of happy things?"

"No," Judy pointed to Eric's right hand: "That, what's the matter?"

Eric raised his right hand and looked at the watch. He looked at his eyes and looked confused. It seemed to have just been discovered. He turned to the woman: "You secretly bit me last night?"

Judy suddenly turned a blind eye, a disdain with his appearance.

Eric just made a joke, put the cut apple into the glass bowl, mixed with the salad dressing, and smiled and said: "I met a girl and thought that I bullied her, and I rushed over and bit me."

Judy reveals a look of disbelief and catches a word: "I thought?"

"Yeah," Eric nodded. "I didn't know her before. She didn't see me. I met for the first time, and then things happened."

Judy realized that Eric was telling the truth and wanted to laugh at him, but he remembered another thing: "What later?"

"Later, the prince and the princess live happily together. Look, I am a good man, and the worst story can be turned into a fairy tale in my hands."

"I haven't seen you so yourself."

Judy once again whitened the man, did not want him to think that he paid more attention to his private life, so he no longer asked, went forward to help prepare breakfast together.

Prepare breakfast and come to the restaurant together.

There was a laptop on the dining table, and a page full of data was opened. I curiously scanned my eyes, probably the box office information.

Without careful attention, Judy sat down and ate a fruit salad before asking the opposite Eric: "How about the first day box office?"

Eric handed over a cup of milk to Judy and sat down and said: "$24.29 million."

Judy's action paused. Although Eric explained something to her yesterday, the woman still wondered: "Like it, is it lower?"

If it is another film, the first day is 24.29 million US dollars, it can be said to be successful.

But for Eric, this score is clearly low.

Eric shook his head and explained in detail: "2000 3D screens, 82% attendance, $20.65 million at the box office. 100 IMAX screens, 100% attendance, $3.44 million at the box office. Total $24.29 million, so you still Feeling low?"

Judy lived in Hollywood from an early age, and Eric explained it, she immediately understood.

Yesterday, Eric said that the situation of the zero point is almost full. Judy is not too unexpected, and many popular movies can do this. However, after the large-scale opening of the whole day, the attendance rate can still exceed 80%, which is a bit surprising.

"It’s so high, but unfortunately, if there are more theaters, it’s better."

The two talked about it in the restaurant of Jianjiao Manor. The outside world’s box office on the first day of Gravity has also been rapidly speculating.

The first day was 24.29 million US dollars. Although the high attendance rate caused a lot of media attention, the overall one-day box office of less than 30 million US dollars is still not qualified for Eric.

As a result, more and more rumors appeared in the media.

Of course, there is absolutely no lack of understanding of this.

"Los Angeles Times" wrote that according to the current box office trend, if "gravity" can achieve a zero decline next week, Eric's new film is still very hopeful to break through the $300 million box office in North America.

However, in order to achieve higher, it is necessary to increase the number of 3D and IMAX auditoriums, but since the Firefly Group has no relevant plans, this is obviously impossible in the short term.

Moreover, limited by the 3D film source, even if it is a theater dealer, it is impossible to increase the number of 3D screens.

At the same time, the 2,000 screens accounted for only 5.5% of the total screen size of 36,000 blocks in North America.

Although the Firefly Group has achieved national coverage as much as possible, it can only take care of the mainstream key ticket city in the end, which inevitably leads to a large number of fans simply unable to see the film.

As a result, relevant complaints soon appeared on the Internet, and traditional media also keenly began to follow up. This incident has been identified as a major mistake in the Firefly Group's distribution strategy.

Then, some media also offered to let the Firefly Group open the 2D version of Gravity, and even some of the top executives of the Firefly system had similar ideas.

Although even the 2D version of Gravity is definitely a classic, it is unlikely to be comparable to the 3D movie viewing experience.

Eric's production of Gravity is mainly to promote 3D and IMAX film formats in advance, and naturally will not give up such a goal for short-term benefits, so he did not hesitate to reject the proposal.

Subsequently, two days on the weekend, "Gravity" again regained $22.3 million and $19.36 million in box office in 3D theaters, and the IMAX auditorium was still fully loaded.

In fact, in the 100 IMAX auditoriums in North America, the movie tickets within a week have basically been sold out, and even the high-priced scalper has appeared in the market.

In summary, "Gravity Gravity" ended the first weekend of three days at the box office of $67.78 million.

Between "Jurassic Park", "Royal Casino 007" and "Iron Man", where Eric has created a global box office record of more than one billion, this achievement is only six years before Jurassic Park. The first weekend of more than 71 million US dollars at the box office was about 5 million.

If you calculate the inflation factor, the first weekend box office of Gravity is definitely the lowest of several films.

Although the 25th is Thanksgiving Day, most people still have to work until the 24th to be able to spend a four-day holiday.

Thus, on Monday, November 22, the working day is as usual.

According to the normal box office rules of most films, the box office on the weekdays tends to fall by 60% to 70% compared to the weekend. Due to the overall downward trend, the four-day workday box office usually only has 30% of the box office on the weekend.

According to this ratio, the theoretical box office of the first week of the first week of "gravity" may only be $23.03 million, and the first week's box office is expected to be $99.81 million, barely close to the $100 million mark.

Although according to the reputation of "gravity", the decline may not be so exaggerated, but the outside world generally does not think that this film can break the conventional box office limit.

Moreover, the media has a very clear factual basis for the possible drop in the box office of the "Gravity" workday.

The 2000 3,000 3D cinemas in North America are over concentrated, mostly in mainstream cities, and not enough. Since the theater is in the hands of the cinema dealers, it is not possible for the fireflies to flexibly set the 3D cinema distribution evenly according to the audience size.

This has already excluded a large part of the remote audience.

If it is a weekend, perhaps many viewers will drive to nearby cities to watch the movie in order to experience the effects of 3D visual wonders. But when you enter the working day, people who are willing to do so will undoubtedly have a lot less.

However, the subsequent facts prove that many people still underestimate the box office appeal of Gravity and the appeal of the new 3D and IMAX film models to the audience.

On November 23, early in the morning on Tuesday, when the box office on the first day of the work of Gravity was released, it instantly shocked the eye.

All day on Monday, "Gravity" in 2000 North American 3D theaters, the box office received another 14.13 million US dollars, compared with Sunday's 19.36 million US dollars at the box office, the chain fell by only 27%. In addition, 100 IMAX theaters are still full of suspense.

So, even the media that had been very optimistic about the box office of "Gravity" had felt incredible at this time.

In this kind of shock and sorrowful emotions, in the following days, the momentum of the "gravity" box office did not decrease.

On Tuesday, the 3D cinema box office was $13.99 million, and the IMAX theater was full.

On Wednesday, the 3D cinema box office was $14.53 million, and the IMAX theater was full.

On Thursday, the 3D cinema box office was $12.27 million, and the IMAX theater was full.

In four days, in addition to a significant decline on Thursday's Thanksgiving Day, Gravity's attendance at 2,000 3D theaters in North America reached more than 50% of the horror.

In the end, the first week of Gravity was only worth $20.033 million in 2,000 3D theaters. The other 100 IMAX theaters, from the midnight of last week, almost all showed a box office full of status, once again contributed to the film. $25.74 million at the box office.

According to comprehensive statistics, the first week of the "gravity" box office reached $146.07 million, far exceeding the expectations of all box office forecasting agencies including the Firefly Group's issuance department.

There is no doubt that Gravity has formed a phenomenon-level movie-shaking frenzy that has surpassed Eric’s previous three films.

When the final box office of "Gravity Gravity" was released, the parties that were still waiting to see could no longer sit still.

Even with a 50% attendance rate on weekdays, the prospects for 3D movies are clearly clear.

The major theaters in North America completely abandoned the 3D cinema promotion plan originally given by the Firefly Group. They started to contact the Firefly Group executives in the first time, hoping to immediately increase the number of 3D cinemas.

On the other hand, the eye-catching market performance of IMAX theaters has also attracted the attention of cinemas and Hollywood, which has even surpassed 3D movies.

After all, it was only 100 IMAX theaters in North America that contributed $25.74 million to the box office for Gravity in a week.

This means that, ideally, these 100 IMAX theaters will have more than $1 billion in annual box office. This is already one-seventh of the current annual box office in North America. But the number of 100 IMAX theaters is only three-thousandths of the total 36,000 movie screens in North America.

Of course, no one would expect the IMAX auditorium to remain 100% full, but even if the IMAX auditor’s attendance rate is reduced by 70% under normal conditions, it will continue to expand the number of IMAX theaters compared to North America. The ratio of the total screen to the IMAX box office share, the commercial return of the IMAX auditorium is still crazy.
