"Batman: The War Moment" was officially released less than a day, and at around 5 p.m., as many as dozens of theaters called Warner Bros. to restock.

With the phone call, the sales estimate statistics on Warner Bros. CEO's desk.

"I actually sold a Batmobile?"

After seeing the sales at the end, Jeff raised his head in surprise as he looked forward. These cars were not in stock, but the crew used the remaining four cars and placed them in four different big cities for attracting customers.

"So, Bruce." Jeff Robinoff reached out and scratched his chin, squinted his eyes and thought, "I remember the group company has a good relationship with Chevrolet? Go and contact me to see if you can customize a batch of Bat Chariots."

The profit here is too great. If a prop car removes the design cost, the material cost will not exceed US$10,000. This kind of huge profitable business can be compared with popcorn in the theater.

"I'll contact you later. Today I'll work overtime with you to wait for the box office." Bruce Rosenblum nodded, and looked at the terrifying peripheral sales statistics, and he smiled proudly.

"The surrounding inventory we prepared is still too conservative. Wayne's films have been creating miracles. Now, he has completely blocked the shortcomings of offline peripheral revenue of the film. Don't worry, Jeff, just look at the sales situation around the surroundings, the box office of the film will not be less than 20 million US dollars!"

This is just his conservative estimate, and even in his heart, he felt that the box office figures of the film would not be lower than the surrounding sales.

"It's been more than a year, I'm going to be the right one!" Jeff Robinoff breathed a sigh of relief. From Wayne's proposal of the concept of DC universe to the ten-month preparation time of "Batman: The Moment of War", he has been under tremendous pressure.

The investment in movie projects itself takes a long time to recycle, but it took Batman nearly two years to finally officially enter the theater market.

Now it seems that all this is worth it. The profit attributes of superhero movies have begun to appear. Judging from the market on the first day, it has a profit margin that is not inferior to animated feature films. However, the production cost and time of animated feature films are much greater than that of a live-action movie.

Why is Disney still the market value of the six giants in a chaotic period? It is not the copyright operation of animation feature films with guaranteed revenue. These offline revenues can support a media group to spend for many years.

"We have a greater advantage!" Bruce Rosenblum understood what the other party meant, and he couldn't calm down. "We have an entire DC universe. As long as the market can accept this type, there are too many heroes that can be photographed. What a treasure!"

As he said, Warner Bros. DC Comics, originally had a difficult time in the comics industry and needed to rely on the copyright of the parent company to survive. However, after Wayne's two comic movies, the company turned into one of the biggest treasures in the group.

If anyone first predicted this situation, it was DC Comics' old ceo. Whether it was the first "Joker" or the "Batman: The Moment of War", DC Comics even had producers, and never pointed out the filming and production work.

Jeff Robinoff turned his eyes out the window and looked in the direction of Twentieth Century Fox. From all aspects, they were sure to win this competition, and the person who opened the Warner Bros.'s revenue treasure for the next 20 years was the one that Fox gave up.

"Wayne's original promise to us would be realized if nothing unexpected happens. In at most two and a half days, we will know whether the grand goal of the DC universe can be realized!"

This is not a matter of one or two movies. Jeff Robinoff is also watching. As long as Batman can really create market miracles, he will make every effort to promote the investment in subsequent films, which will definitely clear all obstacles for Wayne and get enough investment budgets from the board of directors and parent company.

Whether superhero movies are sold or not, everyone except Warner Bros. has tried them before, but everyone in the circle understands that the investment in shooting superhero movies is definitely the highest among all movie types, and special effects are never allowed to get around.

"Wayne's publicity campaign is still going well? Is this good news sent to him as soon as possible tomorrow morning, and his pressure has been very high. The harvest is the thing that can relieve the stress the most."

"It's not bad. The crew reported the fan meeting at Times Square this morning and participated in the TV station interview in the afternoon. It should have just ended now." Bruce Rosenblum said with a look at the time.

Jeff Robinoff nodded. "Then don't disturb him from rest. Fax the box office, surrounding data and survey reports to New York tomorrow morning."

Friday is the first day of weekend break, ordinary people who have been busy working can finally take a breath from work, but when they are about to bring their family and have three or five friends to watch the long-awaited movie together, they find that the first-tier cities have almost sold out all the Batman movie tickets.

Unlike when Wayne's previous films were released, most of the previous films were R-level films, which naturally excluded teenagers from the cinema. The main audience group is this group of urban white-collar workers and young people.

However, this time the PG13 level has attracted countless teenagers, and group watching of movies in families has finally become a common phenomenon, so early on, all the movie tickets for Friday night were ordered.

Countless movie fans could not buy tickets, so they could only order Saturday and Sunday's show. The theaters quickly took action and reported this situation to the theater headquarters.

The authority of the theater manager is to schedule more films to ensure the traffic of their own stores, but they do not have the authority to schedule more than their share. Otherwise, the number of screens of "Die Hard 3" on the first day of Friday will be squeezed to the minimum contract requirement.

When the noisy Friday passed, just dawn on Saturday morning, Wayne, who was far away in New York, opened his eyes, pulled the quilt that had been kicked aside and walked up to the bathroom with slightest steps.

With a thunderous sound of water, ten minutes later, Wayne walked out wearing a bathrobe, wiped his hair, glanced at the Australian beauty who was exhausted by the busy publicity activities, opened the bedroom door and walked into the hotel living room.

“Has the box office come out?”

When he saw the assistant lady facing the sky, his first words were to care about box office data. At this stage, this is what he was most worried about and most looking forward to. How was this opening started? I saw the market response on the first day of the video.

"It's out." Nina covered her mouth, yawned, and pointed to the documents compiled on the coffee table. "Warner Brothers faxed it early in the morning, and below is the newspaper Sergei bought."

Sitting on the sofa, Wayne habitually took out the cigarette, lit it in the assistant lady's eyes, and asked while flipping through the documents and newspapers stacked together, "What are my arrangements today?"

Speaking of the schedule, Nina waved her hand, fanned Qingyan who was floating over, took out the other party's schedule record book, and carefully confirmed it, before saying in surprise:

"Congratulations, boss. The activities this morning and morning are Christian Bale and Nami, the male and female protagonists, participated. In the afternoon, the theater activities in the East Side are mainly planned. So, we can take a break today and take a breath."

For promotional activities like this, almost a city can only stay in more than a day, with a lot of repetitive activities. It is possible that a question needs to be answered dozens of times, and you have to pretend to be surprised. Not to mention the main creator of the crew, even Nina has a headache about these.

Moreover, as the film is released longer and more fans have watched it, the sensation caused by the crew will increase. Often, after the TV show, they will have to rush to the airport and fly to the next city.

At such times, there is no time to give the crew a rest, and I want to solve the problem on the plane when I sleep.

The promotional activities of promoting videos, especially for actors, are also a rare opportunity to promote themselves. Basically, at this time, no actor will complain. All sober people understand that this is something that must be experienced on the road to fame.

"ha!"

Just as I picked up the first fax, I gave Wayne a huge surprise. "It seems that it is right for me to make the video into PG13 in order to expand the audience. The enthusiasm of these teenagers is too high."

The first thing that caught my eye was the first-day box office numbers of "Batman: The Moment of War", and the survey and analysis of the audience.

After the film was early on Thursday at 2,500 US dollars, the box office closed at $20.08 million on Friday only one day. This figure means that the attendance rate of the golden courts in first-tier cities may be as high as more than 80%.

According to the default rules in the circle, with the box office in advance, the film's first day of release was 35.88 million US dollars.

Wayne and Warner Bros. both knew that the number could be so high because there were too many publicity methods in the early stage, which made fans full of expectations, and the film could not wait to watch as soon as it was released.

The box office figures will definitely drop significantly in the future, but this has far exceeded their target figures. You should know that the first weekend box office of Warner Bros. is only about 55 million US dollars.

As long as the estimated numbers can be reached, this film can stay in the theater for a long time with its good storyline, and it will be easy to recover costs through the box office.

Now, we have achieved most of our goals on Friday one day. Even if the box office dips on Saturday and Sunday, it will be no difficulty to exceed the estimated box office.

"You've succeeded again, aren't you? Congratulations, boss!"

Nina has read the statistics and whispered to the boss to congratulate him.

"It's not me who succeeded again, it's us." Wayne shrugged with a smile, and took a deep breath of the cigarette comfortably.

Below the box office numbers, Warner Bros. listed the audience in detail. During the first day of the film, the proportion of teenagers and families watching collectively accounted for more than 70% of the total audience.

That's why he sighed that the enthusiasm of these teenagers was too high, and almost supported most of the box office of the film with his own strength.

It is not to be ignored that the PG13 level does take a big advantage. This kind of screening scale that is almost the whole year, coupled with the familiar superheroes, many families watched a group movie on the first day.

This is the first time this situation has appeared in his works. In the past, R-level films, there is no such treatment.
