Seek starting point subscription, monthly ticket, collection, recommendation ticket
The North American film market is already very mature. The box office data of the first day or midnight show of most films can probably analyze the next box office trend.
Therefore, almost every film company and distribution company collects data such as box office on the first day of the film, audience reputation, audience structure, etc. in the first place.
In this way, it can be inferred whether a film can be profitable, as well as the direction and scale of the next publicity.
Of course, there are no absolutes. For example, "Titanic", which will be released next year, is an exception. Faced with an unremarkable first-week box office performance, it finally created an unsurpassable record.
But in general, it is almost impossible for a film like "Titanic" to have a second one.
After all, there is only one James Cameron in the world, and "Terminator 3" is not a legendary ship.
Facing the box office performance of the film's midnight screening of 8.15 million US dollars, it has already explained many things. "Terminator 3" must be a film with great selling potential.
Even without the request of 20th Century Fox and Orion Pictures, the most market-sensitive cinema companies have quietly begun to increase the number of screens and the scale of screenings.
The more popular the movie, the more the theater company is willing to invest in resources. On the contrary, the theater company will definitely not increase a little bit of resources for a film whose premiere box office is not satisfactory.
Wednesday, December 11th happened to be a working day, and office workers were working during the day.
It stands to reason that there are very few commercial films, and they are usually released on Fridays or the day before holidays during this time period.
But now that universities have gradually started to have holidays, many young people have taken a break and started to go to the cinema in groups. The number of viewers is not bad.
On Wednesday, "Terminator 3" earned $13.24 million at the single-day box office.
This number may not be so dazzling on Friday or Saturday, but it is only a working day on Wednesday.
Even "Independence Day", which was a big hit in the summer, only earned $11.12 million at the box office on the day it was released on Tuesday.
But the difference between the two films is that "Terminator 3" is a sequel film, which will consume a lot of audience brought by the previous two films a few days before its release, while "Independence Day" is an original film without any fans accumulation.
The only thing in common is that the audience reputation of the two films is quite good.
After watching "Terminator 3", many viewers seem to have opened their eyes. It turns out that the fighting scenes in the movie can be so cool.
Watching other action movies, it is simply impossible to catch the eye.
The most direct reaction is that the box office of the films released in the same period has shrunk.
On the IMD website, the film score of "Terminator 3" is as high as 9.7 points.
In commercial films, it is simply scary high.
The reason is very simple. The people who are online now are all young people. The fighting and special effects scenes in "Terminator 3" are too suitable for their taste.
With the arrival of Thursday the next day, a piece of news was directly pinned to the top of the Yahoo website, putting together the box office data of "Terminator 3" and the box office data of "Independence Day", which was a big hit in the summer.
Even, a special comparison list is made, and the box office data of "Terminator 3" will be updated as soon as possible every day.
For a while, it attracted the attention of countless Internet users, and even some traditional media began to reprint it.
It was quickly divided into two camps. Some media and the public believed that the box office results of "Terminator 3" might hit the box office record set by "Independence Day" this year.
Another part of the media and the public believe that the box office performance of "Terminator 3" cannot exceed the record set by "Independence Day".
Whether it is on the traditional media or on the Internet forums, there is a lot of noise, and the two hold their own opinions and cannot stop arguing with each other.
Naturally, Twentieth Century Fox and Orion Films would not let go of this opportunity, and they coincided with each other to guide the direction of public opinion.
On Saturday morning, the sky was just getting brighter. Rita Wilson, as usual, took the day's newspaper, put it on the side of the dining table, and then woke up her husband Tom Hanks.
Not long after, Tom Hanks came downstairs to sit down in the restaurant, picked up a newspaper and flipped to the entertainment page.
At first glance, I saw a huge title. The only film that can compare with "Terminator 3" this year is "Independence Day", which was released in the summer, and the rest of the films have been far behind by the two.
"Terminator 3"!
Ryan Gosling's film.
Tom Hanks seems to be back in the "Forrest Gump" crew, the guy who sold the film everywhere.
In just a few years, he has become a hot commercial director in Hollywood, even comparable to Roland Emmerich.
""Terminator 3" earned $8.15 million at the midnight show, $13.24 million on Wednesday, and $15.32 million on Thursday."
"So far, the total box office of the film in North America has reached 36.71 million US dollars. Even if the box office has not been released for three days on the weekend, it has undoubtedly become the box office champion of this week."
"In contrast, "Independence Day" earned $11.12 million at the box office on the day it was released, $17.4 million on Wednesday the next day, and $17.34 million on Thursday during the Independence Day holiday. The North American box office also reached $45.86 million in three days. Dollar."
"This is a showdown between "Terminator 3" and "Independence Day". Other films can only serve as a foil for the two, and 20th Century Fox is the biggest winner in this year's film market."
Tom Hanks skips a bunch of nonsense below to find box office predictions for Terminator 3.
"According to the forecasts of several market agencies and the evaluation of several large theater companies, the final North American box office of "Terminator 3" is expected to hit the $300 million mark..."
$300 million!
Tom Hanks was silent for a while, "What an unbelievable number."
"Rita, help me make an appointment with Ryan Gosling, just say that I have time, and I would like to treat him to afternoon tea."
He is now not only an actor, but also a producer, director, and even wrote, directed and acted in a film "The Unstoppable Miracle".
It's a pity that this film did not create a miracle, but the box office was pitifully low, with only US$25.85 million box office in North America.
The film's overseas box office is also pitifully low. UU Reading only has 8.72 million US dollars, which is not as good as the first-day box office of "Terminator 3".
The most important point is that Orion Films, one of the film distribution companies, is a distribution company that Ryan Gosling has just bought, and Tom Hanks has long planned to set up a production company.
The two may be able to work together someday in the future.
Receiving the invitation from Tom Hanks, Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that the cooperation between him and DreamWorks in his previous life, whether it was the famous "Band of Brothers" or "Saving Private Ryan", were all Future familiar works.
It's just that it's Steven Spielberg, not Tom Hanks, who can actually direct these projects.
As for what happened on the crew of "Forrest Gump", he had long forgotten it completely, anyway, it was not his personal experience.
"If there was an opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg..."
Before Ryan finished the following words, Sofia Coppola interrupted him directly and said, "Reject."
"From the moment you buy Orion, you have to stay away from Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks, unless you want to stand in front of 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Universal Pictures, Disney, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. the opposite of."
As for MGM!
Since entering the 1970s, MGM's performance has plummeted. In the 1990s, MGM, which was not supported by the media group, was in decline, and its market share was getting smaller and smaller. It was not as good as some second-tier film companies. Hollywood Center.
"I'm just talking." Ryan shrugged and didn't continue.
As the boss of Orion Pictures, at least for a long time, he can only stay away from Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks.
