Carl looked not good after hanging up the phone, but he still called his secretary patiently. "You inform the publicity and distribution department to cancel the subsequent publicity plan of "The Land Ambition" and stop the losses in time."

After the secretary went out, he thumped the table hard. Although this project was decided by his ex, he was staring at the subsequent promotion and promotion.

Now it is possible to announce the failure of the video in advance. If the investment in it is not known how many years will take, it will seriously affect his trust in the board of directors.

Time flies. Wayne sat at the dining table early on Friday morning and saw a magazine on the table, and the box office statistics sent by Warner Bros.

Facts have proved that no matter how many small measures are, it cannot change the enthusiasm of movie fans. After "Escape from the Deadly Town" won the championship last weekend, it continued to maintain a high box office.

The new week begins, the film earned $6.5 million on Monday, and the box office quietly rose on Tuesday because of the discounted movie tickets, earning $6.75 million, $6.42 million on Wednesday, and $6.31 million on Thursday.

In four working days, the film received a total of $25.98 million in horror box office, plus $49.64 million in the first weekend, and in just one week, the box office in North America reached $75.62 million.

Looking at the statistics above, "Escape from the Deadly Town" will definitely have a box office of over 100 million this weekend. Starting next Monday, the film will start its overseas screening journey. The success of the box office in North America has given Warner Bros. great confidence.

And Wayne also discovered one thing, that is, after Universal Pictures saw that there was no hope for the box office of "The Land Ambition", the gossip tabloids' smeared him significantly reduced.

From his perspective, Universal should have basically given up on "The Ambition of Earth", and even the subsequent promotional momentum has declined. The fans who are still insisting on going to the theater to watch this film are basically all aimed at Tom Cruise.

The summer season battle in North America starts from May to July, and will last for three months. This is the most important film schedule in North America in the year, and films that strive for high commercial gains will be released every week.

As long as this period begins, it will not give any film a chance to accumulate high box office for a long time. "Escape from the Deadly Town" has good luck because other companies' films are deliberately avoiding Tom Cruise, and there are no large-scale films released this weekend.

It is an opportunity for the film to sprint for a box office in a short period of time to have no strong competitors in May.

Starting a few years ago, the films released during the summer season will receive one to half of the total box office of the North American film in a week or even ten days.

Because we face strong challenges every week, production companies that are eager for quick success will use publicity methods to send fans to the theater as quickly as possible. Whether a film can succeed can be observed by watching the box office results of the first weekend.

"Escape from the Deadly Town" has been in the theater for a whole week, and the box office in the entire week has successfully exceeded the 70 million US dollars mark. It can be said that this film has exceeded 100 million yuan, which is definitely not its end.

Even due to the short screening time of the thriller and the fierce fighting during the summer season, Warner Bros. can foresee that this film will generate a large amount of revenue for them.

"You look in a good mood." Harry Berry walked into the restaurant in his pajamas and yawning, watching Wayne stare at the fax and smile.

She sat next to Wayne, tilted her head and looked at the data on the fax paper. "Congratulations, the video has achieved great success."

"Thank you, Harry." Wayne put down the statistics in his hand, picked up the milk and took a big sip. "It's not clear what it is now. What results will be achieved in the end depends on the box office this weekend."

Although the audience's reputation of "The Ambition of Earth" released at the same time declined significantly, no one dared to underestimate Tom Cruise's appeal. Even though the results were not ideal on the first weekend, the sum of four working days still created a good box office, and the combined box office of one week also reached 39.67 million US dollars.

"The video will definitely exceed 100 million this weekend, and now no one can stop the film from moving forward." Jimmy suddenly walked in. He smiled and took the coffee handed to him by Haila and sat at the dining table.

"Warner Bros. and I communicated. This weekend is the last time Warner Bros.'s high-intensity promotion of the film, Wayne. Starting next week, they will put the main resources on other films in the summer season."

"It's okay, I understand Jimmy, this is the summer season." Wayne had long thought of it, knowing that the agent was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

Starting this Monday, the promotion of "Escape from the Blind Town" can be seen to be significantly strengthened. From HBO to TNT, abc, and print media from gossip tabloids to the three major newspapers in North America, various gossip magazines to Vanity Fair, and professional magazines like Hollywood Reporter can be seen everywhere in film reporting information.

Warner Bros.'s approach is very rough and simple, that is, before the popularity of the film fades, he achieved better box office numbers as much as possible on the second weekend when there were almost no competitors.

Such a publicity scale cannot be given to "Escape from the Deadly Town" forever. Wayne understands that this is the rule of the summer season.

"They took you well, it was like a star." Jimmy saw the magazine on the table. This was the latest issue of "Vanity Fair". The cover was Wayne looking down at the camera with his head down. There was a line of titles below:

"Wayne Greenberg! Miracle Creator!"

He opened the magazine and found an interview with Wayne. He looked at it and nodded. Although the problems listed above were somewhat different, there were not many places that caused controversy.

After breakfast, Jimmy led Wayne to become busy again. The main creators and main actors of the crew were still promoting the whole United States, and Los Angeles became Wayne's main battlefield.

In the morning, he took Harry Berry to an exclusive interview with the Los Angeles Times and in the afternoon he would participate in the recording of a local TV station. The busy publicity activities were scheduled for weekends.

Originally, Warner Bros. arranged for him to have an Oprah talk show, but in the end he gave up this opportunity because of coordination issues with the other party.

He himself had no feelings for Oprah Winfrey, nor did he like her warm embrace. Since it was all publicity, it was not a pity to give up.

Wayne's work in Los Angeles is very effective. The continuous reports from various media large and small have always attracted the attention of the public, prompting fans who are on weekend vacation to buy tickets and enter the theater with curiosity.

When the first ray of sunshine in Los Angeles shone into the manor, and another working day came, Wayne looked at the freshly released weekend box office statistics and a pile of newspapers brought by Nina, which brought him an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

All North American media seem to be waiting for the weekend box office statistics. It was not until they saw the accurate numbers that they suddenly burst out with great enthusiasm, and they were full of praise for directors such as "Escape from the Deadly Town" and Wayne.

Statistics sent by Warner Bros. show that "Escape from the Deadly Town" won a box office of $12.6 million on Friday, and more people went to the theater on Saturday, and the attendance rate increased significantly, winning $19.56 million again. Sunday, because the next day was a working day, the box office fell, and it received $15.6 million...

The total box office revenue of US$57.16 million in three days over the weekend was successfully over US$100 million, reaching a terrifying US$127.36 million!

After seeing the accurate box office statistics, Wayne instantly felt that the mental fatigue brought by the endless publicity work these days was wiped out.

At this time, not only Wayne was looking at the box office statistics, but also Tom Cruise was staring at the newspaper in his hand in another mansion in Mulholland Road.

$7.98 million, the dazzling weekend box office figures of "The Ambition of Earth" made him so angry that he wanted to smash everything on the table.

"Tom, don't pay too much attention to box office numbers. Since this video is destined to be impossible to succeed, we have to make plans for the next project."

Pat Kingsley also stared at a newspaper, which reprinted a cover of Vanity Fair, which was the photo of Wayne looking down at the camera.

The effects of black and white newspapers and white magazines are completely different. At first glance, they will give people a signal to a successful person.

"This director is at a vigorous creative age, Tom." Pat Kingsley said, lowering the newspaper and looking at his client.

"Pate!" Tom Cruise heard what she meant, which made him feel like he was offended. "Don't forget, just last week, we just contacted the media to discredit him."

"That's just a normal means of competition. You don't have any personal conflicts! Now things are over."

Pat Kingsley's words made Tom Cruise fall into deep thought. Yes, they have no personal conflicts. It's normal for these things to be put in Hollywood.

No one expected the failure of his film. He needed to regain success as soon as possible. Participating in the director's new project is indeed a shortcut.

"You stare at the director's new project through CAA." Tom Cruise breathed a long sigh, glanced at the newspaper on the table, and told his agent.

"I will, Tom Wayne Greenberg's first two films are almost seamless productions. I believe that a young director like him, who is very energetic, will soon plan his next project.

Directors who have succeeded continuously like this will have a much smaller chance of failing. I believe no one can refuse to work with a superstar, which will naturally bring commercial appeal to the film."

Seeing that her client understood what she meant, Pat Kingsley explained patiently.

The failure of a film is not the end of the world. When it comes to a star of Tom Cruise, he is a scarce resource in Hollywood. As long as the films he participated in are not continuous, it will not be too difficult to maintain his status.

As Wayne Greenberg's competitor, no one knows the director's ability better than Pat Kingsley. The main problem is how to convince his clients that it is not easy to let Tom Cruise down his proud personality.
