Chapter 307 (1/2)

Simon's departure did not have much impact on the competitive Thanksgiving schedule.

After the premiere ceremony on November 16, reviews of ”flying over innocence” began to log on to the major media in North America.

However, this family comedy with baby talking as a gimmick did not attract praise from the media. Under the joint public relations of Warner Brothers and danielis, the media film review score was only 6.2, barely reaching the pass. Many mainstream newspapers, such as variety show, New York Times and Washington Post, gave poor reviews.

”Variety” commented that ”the words that babies imitate adults' thoughts and tone are not cool at all, but rather make people anxious.” the New York Times also pointed out that ”there is despair in Billy Cristo's endless voice.”.

Although many newspapers give positive comments such as ”very interesting”, ”the baby's idea of opening his mouth is surprising” and ”a pleasant movie”, Warner Bros. and Denise both know how much PR is involved in it, so they are inevitably worried about the future of the movie.

From November 17 to November 19, the movie, starring Mel Gibson and Billy Cristo (dubbing), took $20.46 million at the box office in the first three days of the weekend, easily winning the top of the weekend box office.

The revenue in three days is 20.46 million US dollars. Compared with the production cost of 15 million US dollars, this achievement is of course excellent, but it's hard for Denise to relax in entertainment.

As we all know, this beautiful opening box office is the result of all efforts in the early stage of publicity. The final determination of the total box office potential of ”flying over innocence” depends on the box office situation of the next week.

Because of the disapproval of the media, Amy and others are worried that the box office curve of the film will go down all the way.

In this regard, scream 2, which has fallen by more than 30% for two consecutive weeks, can be regarded as a reference.

After its release on October 27, ”scream 2” grossed $31.77 million in the first week, down 33% in the next week, and earned $21.29 million.

According to convention, a movie's decline is too deep in the next week, and it will definitely narrow down in the third week. However, the decline of scream 2 in the third week has further expanded to 35%, and it only receives us $13.37 million in the seven days from November 10 to November 16.

”Scream 2” grossed $66.79 million in three weeks, and Denise entertainment still made a lot of money. However, with the box office curve shown by the film, it may be no problem for the sequel to break through 100 million, but it certainly can not reach the total box office data of 132 million US dollars of the first domestic film.

”Flying over innocence” does not have the popularity advantage of the sequel, and the film review reputation is not good enough. The box office of the first week can be propped up by the early publicity and the cast. However, in the case of ”back to the future 2” in the next week, if the next week's decline exceeds 30% or even 40%, it will be hopeless to break the local billion.

Over $20 million in the first weekend, the total box office of ”over 60 million” is still very easy, which is destined to be a profitable project.

However, because of the original contract, ”flying innocence” if it can not break 100 million, danelise entertainment must continue to cooperate with Warner Bros. in other projects until it breaks 100 million.

As a result, Warner is relatively relaxed compared with the concerns of danielis entertainment.

In this era, the local box office of more than 60 million US dollars has been a big sell.

In any case, Warner Bros. is destined to make a fortune from this project. If you earn less this time, it will bring you opportunities for cooperation next time.

On November 22, Universal Pictures' blockbuster back to the future 2 was released.

The sequel, which fans have been looking forward to for four years, has also lived up to the expectations of the public. Just two days after drawing on Wednesday and Thursday, the film quickly earned 15.18 million dollars, easily taking the third place at the box office from November 17 to November 23.

Meanwhile, ”flying over innocence” easily won the first place in the weekly box office list with $29.23 million.

Paramount Pictures' Harlem nightclub, starring Eddie Murphy, came in second with $23.72 million in its first week.

”Scream 2” finally began to narrow this week's decline. Compared with last week's, the box office of ”scream 2” fell by 23% to close another $10.56 million, lagging behind ”back to the future 2”, ranking fourth on the list. The cumulative total box office of the film was $77.35 million.

Disney's animated film ”Little Mermaid”, which quietly opened with 994 screens, ranked fifth in this week's six new films, with a box office of $8.44 million in the first week.

In the future, Orion pictures, along with ”over the air innocence” and ”Harlem nightclub”, announced the same level of ”magic sea innocence”, but did not arouse the audience's response.

The 1713 large-scale opening screen of magic sea childlike innocence only brought Orion $4.1 million box office in the first seven days of the week, ranking seventh in the weekly box office list.

The story of magic sea childlike innocence, a girl and elk with an investment of 15 million US dollars that Orion film has placed high hopes on, failed again, further impacting the top second tier film company whose financial situation continues to deteriorate.

Sigram group of Canada, which recently contacted with Orion film and intended to test the water of Hollywood, saw this situation. Although it did not back down, it put forward more stringent conditions for capital injection to John Kruger, the major shareholder of Orion.In addition, ”my left foot,” released by daenerys Entertainment's gaomen pictures, grossed $1.83 million in the first week after it opened on November 10, and continued to earn $1.52 million the next week.

In two weeks, the low-cost biographical film quietly made $3.35 million on 112 screens.

The film has also been well received by the media as scheduled, and Ella doechman has begun to declare various awards for the film.

This year's Thanksgiving is November 23.

From Thanksgiving on Thursday, the North American public usually has four consecutive days off.

Therefore, November 24 to November 30 is also the most golden week of Thanksgiving, with a large number of audiences pouring into the cinema during the Thanksgiving holiday. A sharp increase in the number of viewers usually leads to a sharp drop in the box office of many films this week.

The annual box office champion of the first song has accumulated a lot of popularity. Two days after the beginning of the painting, it also received 15.18 million US dollars. Although the reputation of ”back to the future 2” and ”flying over innocence” are just barely passed, most media still focus on this ”blockbuster”.

Other film companies have adjusted their film schedules to avoid the edge of ”back to the future 2”, but Denise entertainment has bucked the trend. The gucci fashion documentary ”Gucci mark” produced by gaomen pictures officially opened on November 24 with 532 screens.

Denise Entertainment's basic purpose of making ”Gucci mark” is to promote Gucci brand, and does not expect it to bring much commercial benefits. It seems that the scale of the 532 screens is small, but they are all concentrated in the core metropolitan areas of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and other potential consumers of Gucci brand in North America.
