553 - The Golden Age of the Film Industry

"Where is our little Princess Greenberg?"

In the bathroom, Angelina Jolie endured the discomfort on her body from time to time, while helping the man rub his foamy hair, picked up the shower head and asked him at the foam: "I remember several larger gossip media outlets who are all trying to get a photo of Little Fendi's face."

Hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but frown, and then sighed secretly to let go. With a father like herself, and with the mother of the big Australian star, this child is destined to grow in the spotlight. She has gained more than 99% of the envied background of ordinary people, so she naturally has to bear the price brought by these.

"As long as Nami and I go out to work, my father will take her to the farm to live there for a while." He replied casually, rinsing the foam on his body and head, pulling a bathrobe over his body, and walking out of the bathroom.

In fact, in his heart, he also agreed to let his daughter go to the farm more often. It is best to spend her whole childhood on the farm. At least where, the little guy can have a relatively normal childhood without having to worry about paparazzi’s camera at all times.

The plane had been delayed anyway, so Wayne was not in a hurry to go to Chicago to meet with the crew. He spent a long time with the two women before packing up. After changing his clothes, he went to the restaurant downstairs to replenish the energy he had consumed severely last night.

"Wow!"

While waiting for the meal, Angelina Jolie picked up the newspaper prepared by the housekeeper. After a few glances, she exaggeratedly exaggeratedly. Her performance aroused Cameron Diaz's curiosity, and she tilted her head and tried hard to see what was reported in the newspaper.

"What's wrong."

After yawning a big yawn, Wayne sat at the dining table and lit a cigarette, looked at the two women and asked casually. "Good news or bad news?"

"Of course it's great news!"

Angelina Jolie spread the newspaper onto the dining table and said excitedly: "Dear, your movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" was in the North American theater market. Yesterday, I got $4,750 again in the day of the year. God! Is this a strong box office trend? You once again ignored those bullshit market rules!"

Since its release, Angelina Jolie has been paying attention to the box office of the film. She has received a promise and knows that she will also participate in the DC series in the future, so she is particularly concerned about these data.

After the movie won $200 million in three days on the first weekend, breaking all the box office records in North America, even on Monday, the box office trend of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was strikingly steady. After the weekdays, the decline was less than 50%. Such results are already quite rare.

An authoritative media and authoritative third-party survey company revealed that as of Thursday, the number of viewers in North America alone had exceeded 32 million, which shows that most potential fans who have the habit of watching movies have watched this movie, and some people may have watched it twice or three times...

Such a steady and amazing box office trend has also led to the fact that the film can still take more than 16 million US dollars from the theater market in a single day even after being screened on Thursday. When the film entered the next weekend, it also ushered in the collision of its powerful competitor "Jurassic Park 2", no one expected that the film could once again rebound in the box office on the first day of the next weekend.

This situation has basically swollen the faces of those film experts who make box office predictions. "Batman: The Dark Knight" completely ignores the so-called market rules, and has a tendency to continue to dominate the North American theater market with the squeeze and competition of "Jurassic Park 2".

"f**k! The total box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars, right?!" Cameron Diaz asked, looking at Wayne with no regard for the sandwiches and milk brought by Shanghai.

"It's been long since." After looking at the newspaper again, Angelina Jolie looked at the man with a deep excitement, as if some of the stings on her body at this moment disappeared from her perception. "More than 332 million US dollars! The cumulative box office is more than 332 million US dollars! This is just a result of more than a week of release. My God, Wayne, you are going to be deified again!"

Cameron Diaz, who was standing aside, opened and closed his mouth weakly and couldn't help but say: "Damn it, there are $300 million now. If you don't do it this weekend, it will exceed 400 million, 500 million next week, 600 million next week, 700 million next week..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Be awake."

Dingdangdang, Wayne took a big bite of the sandwich and knocked on the oak table with one hand. It was a bit funny and helpless, and said helplessly: "What are you thinking? There are only so many moviegoers in North America. Not to mention the box office of 600 million or 700 million US dollars, I feel that it has reached the limit. This is only possible if a large number of movie fans watch the movie repeatedly."

In fact, the final box office of this "Batman: The Dark Knight" is now very confused. This era is the tail of the craziest era of Hollywood movies. The Internet has just had a mature prototype. Electronic games are not a mainstream entertainment method for young people. Everyone's social circle is so big. Similarly, most people in this era have not experienced the baptism of the information explosion.

Therefore, the most mainstream entertainment method for people now is to watch TV and home video recorders. Moreover, since the 1990s, North America has been continuously building modern multi-hall theaters on a large scale, which is an era when the film industry is rapidly expanding.

Another thing that will be ignored by many people. Even if the ticket price of North American movies has been in the past ten or twenty years, the increase will definitely not be much. The point that caused the big increase in the box office of North American movies in the future was actually the emergence of the 3D and 3D movie formats that appeared in "Avatar", which gave major theater companies and production companies a better excuse for price increase.

In fact, sometimes Wayne doesn't understand this era. People's mainstream consumption and entertainment method is to watch movies, but there are not many movies with a single North American box office of over $300 million, and there may be abnormal box office results like "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars" and the Big Ship.

This shows that the enthusiasm for movie viewing on this land has always been increasing, and the audience is also increasing. At some point, as long as the production company can completely throw away all its conscience, in this era, the film industry will be full of gold.

"Where is Jurassic Park 2? How much is the first day's box office?"

He picked up the milk and raised his head and drank two big sips. Wayne didn't care about eating and had been reading the newspaper. Angelina Jolie asked casually.

"Nearly $45 million." After quickly flipping the newspaper in his hand, Angelina Jolie replied with her head down: "To be precise, it is $44.9 million. The 3,200-plus early stages of "Jurassic Park 2" won $12.4 million on Thursday night and $32.5 million on Friday, so the total is $44.9 million."

She was born into a family in the circle, so of course she understood what this number represents. If there was no big accident, the box office of "Jurassic Park 2" on the first weekend would definitely be firmly under the body by "Batman: The Dark Knight".

In fact, the first-day box office of "Jurassic Park 2" is still the number that was only available in advance on Thursday. Otherwise, compared with the number of viewers on Friday, this movie is at least one-third less than the number of viewers on "Batman: The Dark Knight".

With a huge advantage on the first day, the box office in a single day did not exceed "Batman: Dark Knight". I'm afraid that in the next few days, the box office trend of "Jurassic Park 2" will grow bigger and bigger than "Batman: Dark Knight".

Wayne nodded silently. The current situation can be said to be as expected by him. Both films are not original, and the achievements created by the previous work are amazing enough. This has caused the film to have great appeal in the early stage of its release. The box office explosion in the early stage is inevitable. If you want to maintain a high box office, you have to look at some of the situations in the film itself.

What is directly linked to box office results is publicity and marketing and audience reputation. Who can win more passers-by? Even when the number of viewers reaches a peak, striving for movie fans who watch repeatedly is the key point to continue the steady box office trend.

"this!"

While eating, Cameron Diaz was also watching the newspaper. Suddenly she put the sandwich on her hand back on the plate. After attracting the attention of the two, she cleared her throat and read: "This morning, according to data released by an authoritative third-party statistics company, the audience score of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was A+. From the early stage to the current release, the audience's praise rate has never dropped by more than 90%. Even the current statistics show that the fans who have watched the movies on the scene have scored above A and above 93%!

The audience score of "Jurassic Park 2" is about A-about. Sixty-four percent of the audience said after watching the video that the film is pretty good, and twenty-three percent of the fans think the film is exciting enough. The general prediction of third-party companies is that the box office of "Jurassic Park 2" in North America is about $100 million, but the box office gap between "Batman: The Dark Knight" will become increasingly large in the future during the long screenings."

Wayne didn't say much after hearing this, and kept stuffing food into his mouth. In fact, the predictions of the two films now have the possibility of being slapped in the face at any time. Even if he occupies a leading position, he never dared to underestimate Steven Spielberg at all. He knew very well that if we put aside the competition and victory and defeat between the two films, compared with the not amazing investment of "Jurassic Park 2", this film must make money. At most, it is the difference between how much money it earns. No matter how powerful his film is, it is impossible for Steven Spielberg to make money.

"I have a very tight time and I'm going to the airport later."

Satisfiedly, Wayne picked up the milk and drank it all. While wiping his mouth with a napkin, he looked at the two women seriously. "Let's talk later, some things must be explained to you in advance..."
