Chapter 139: Regain the first weekend box office champion
"The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" got off to a good start, with a box office of over 36 million U.S. dollars on the first day.
Don't you say that the number is not high?
You know, the box office of "Titanic" in 1997 was only more than 28 million US dollars on its premiere day. Of course, Big Ship is not the kind of film that bursts out at the beginning, so it is not representative.
However, looking at the entire North American film market in 1997, the box office of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" was more than $36 million on its premiere day, which was enough to rank in the top five of the year. Second only to "Jurassic Park 2" with a box office of more than $72 million on the first day, "Men in Black" with a box office of more than 51 million dollars on the first day, "Batman and Robin" with a box office of more than 42 million dollars, and more than 37 million dollars "Air Force One".
Well, quite a lot, the box office performance on the premiere day of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" happened to rank fifth on the premiere day of the annual box office rankings in North America in 1997.
won the box office champion of the day!
On November 14, the movie that won the second place was the "Jackal Doom" which was released at the same time as "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural".
The film "The Last Day of the Jackal", also known as "Sniper Professional Killer", was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. It happens to be the leading actor of the film, also starring Bruce Willis. The film won more than 15 million US dollars at the box office on its first day of release.
For this, this morning.
Bruce Willis also personally called Zhuke to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Wald, I really didn't expect that the first and second largest movies in the box office list yesterday were all movies starring me. Do you mean coincidence or coincidence?"
Zuke could clearly hear the excitement in Willis's tone.
"Yes, Mr. Wald, I'm really excited."
Willis endured his excitement and said, "You know. I mentioned to you before that although I am an action actor, I am really tired of being an action actor day in and day out. I look forward to being able to show it to the audience. To leave an other impression, they can say: Hey, look at it, Bruce Willis can also appear in other types of movies."
I have to say that the box office performance of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" far exceeded Willis's expectations.
The reason why he is willing to play the leading actor in "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is to seek transformation and to present the audience with a different one.
As for the box office?
Ha ha, that was a complete surprise!
Zhuke immediately smiled and said: "Willis, I dare not take credit for it. After all, you are also indispensable for the film's box office results."
Then, Zhuke and Willis talked for a while before hanging up.
"ding~~"
At this moment, Angelina Jolie also called.
"Wow, Zhuke, you don't know how happy I am now!"
Angelina Jolie was on the phone, excitedly said: "In the morning, I had just gone out to exercise. A bunch of reporters gathered around, and they were still chasing the interview. It's totally like not interviewing you today. The posture of giving up."
Can Julie not get excited?
She is not the highest paid actress in Hollywood in the future, or Laura who will resound all over the world in the future, but she is just an ordinary actress now.
It was the first time she experienced the situation that reporters were so sought after!
In fact, even in the original time and space history, when Julie won the 1999 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the movie "The Girl of the Soul", she has never been so sought after by the media.
One can imagine how popular the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is now.
In terms of theater chain, the film was also rated as A+.
This is an extremely rare evaluation in horror/thriller/spiritual movies. The theater party contacted Wald Pictures for the first time and signed a release contract before immediately increasing the number of screens.
...
It didn't take long for Zhuke to wash up and start eating.
Bodyguard Zhao Wushuang took several newspapers and presented them in front of Zhu Ke.
He sighed: "Boss, take a look. This is the "New York State Entertainment News", this is the "American East Coast News", um, and the "California Entertainment News" and so on. Sixth Sense" a good newspaper."
say good things?
Hey!
I have to say that as long as it is an individual, he likes to listen to good things. Not many people take the initiative to scold, even the cheeky Zhuke, there is no exception.
"New York State Entertainment News" published an article: "The film "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", through the perspective of a little boy, presents the audience a warm, warm, and beautiful movie about family and love."
"Yes, it is a horror thriller!"
"However, whether it is the love between the male and female protagonists, or the affection between the little boy and the mother, it adds a lot of warmth to us in the horror and horror environment."
...
The "New York State Entertainment News" commented on the film, with a full 2,000 words, which is a very flattering interpretation of the film's optimism.
Seeing this, Zhuke couldn't help but curl his lips.
Bodyguard Zhao Wushuangfu said with great heart: "Boss, do you see it too? I remember that when you bought the investment share of "Titanic" a few months ago, it belonged to "New York State Entertainment". "The newspaper" scolded the most ruthless guys who took the lead in making trouble. But now, they just praised you and our movies directly!"
Zhuke nodded immediately.
Ha ha, this is the ethics of the media.
Do not!
To be precise, they have no morals at all. As long as there is heat, they will never let it go!
what?
You said that your attitude is inconsistent, will you be laughed at?
Think too much, buddy.
It is ridiculous in itself that you tell the media.
"Do you know how much effort I put in for the box office of "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural"?" Zhu Ke couldn't help but sigh when he sighed about the unscrupulous media and newspapers.
Why?
In order to maximize the promotion of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", Wald Pictures not only spent a large amount of publicity expenses, but also made the entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group fully cooperate.
UPN TV advertisement;
The popular singer Eminem who sold on the album personally sang the theme song of the film;
Icq’s pop-up advertisement;
Wait~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What other subway station advertisements are there, all of which show that Wald Pictures has worked hard to promote the film!
Also, in order not to disperse publicity resources, CEO Victor even postponed the release time of the fan-based film "Fatal Turn 2" until next year.
To put it bluntly, the first weekend box office champion in Chapter 139 is still weak in Wald Pictures!
Look at the six major Hollywood companies. They can release dozens of films produced by themselves and dozens of films produced by other companies a year.
This is the strength of a large company!
Zhuke wanted to do the same, but he couldn't do it, so he had to sacrifice "Fatal Corner 2" and move him to the theater next year.
Facts have proved that the efforts of Zhuke and Wald Pictures are successful!
The box office score of more than 36 million US dollars on the premiere day surpassed the 27 million US dollars on the first day of the "Human Cleanup Project" and surpassed the first day of Juneau by US$ 19.50 million. The highest movie!
There is no doubt that this is a huge breakthrough.
It is the most important indicator that Wald Pictures is moving towards a second-tier Hollywood film company!
Take a look, even the media and newspapers in the United States are singing triumphs about "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" at this moment.
On Saturday, another $32 million was collected at the box office;
On Sunday, another $25 million was cut at the box office;
Within three days of the first weekend, the movie "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" won a total of US$93 million at the box office, successfully winning the first weekend North American box office champion!
