Chapter 1100 (1/2)
Simon returned to Los Angeles and got back to work. During this period, one of the most eye-catching things in Hollywood is undoubtedly the re screening of the Star Wars series.
In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Star Wars series and warm up the upcoming Star Wars prequel series, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace reopened in North America on January 30 with 2104 screens. The status of Star Wars Series in the United States is just like that of China's journey to the West. This replay can be described as ”echoing”.
From January 31 to February 6, seven days after the first week of re screening, ”Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” easily won US $45.49 million at the box office. The box office momentum of the unpopular end of January is no less than that of a blockbuster in the popular schedule, which shows the strong appeal of Star Wars IP.
Under the impact of the re screening of Star Wars series, a series of old films scheduled at the end of last year, except for ”the catcher of the soul”, ”the British patient” and a few other award season films with spare power, entered the closing stage.
In the same week's list, following Star Wars, the box office of ”baby thunderbolt”, which ranked second at the box office, dropped from $12.49 million last week to within the range of $10 million in the seventh week, earning $7.11 million. In seven weeks, the total box office was 232.81 million.
The third place is mind catcher.
In the ninth week of the show, psychic catcher continued to earn US $6.69 million with a 25% weekly drop, with a total box office of US $133.78 million.
It seems that the box office of ”baby thunderbolt” is still higher than that of ”mind catcher” in a single week, but it is not difficult to notice the decline. Under the impact of ”Star Wars: the threat of the phantom”, the box office of ”baby thunderbolt” dropped by 43% in the seventh week, while the box office of ”mind catcher” dropped by only 25%, which is much more stable than ”baby thunderbolt”, and it is no problem for Oscar.
The game of the brave, which came in fourth and fifth, was almost tied with the British patient, earning $5.03 million and $5.01 million respectively. However, the state of the two films is similar to that of ”Thunderbolt baby” and ”mind catcher”.
The game of the brave, which was released in the eighth week, took a 39% weekly drop and grossed $194.09 million.
In the same eighth week, the British patient earned $5.01 million with a 19% decline over the same period, with a cumulative box office of $36.37 million.
In addition to the top five, last year's ”wonder woman 2”, which was released on the Thanksgiving show, was a complete ending.
In the 11th week of its release, ”wonder woman 2” gradually reduced to 565 screens, earning another $1.63 million and grossing $415.09 million. With Denise entertainment further reducing the canvas of ”wonder woman 2” in order to launch a new film on February 7, the follow-up box office of the film will shrink sharply again? It is expected that the follow-up revenue will be up to $2 million? The total domestic box office will stay at around $417 million.
After the first week of star wars, Denise entertainment also started its 1996 film business.
February 7, a new box office week? In January, two big smokes and follow, which were popular at the Sundance Film Festival, were released at the same time.
Britain and the United States started painting at the same time.
Simon initially hoped that ”two big smokers” and another more phenomenal ”six heroes of the light pig” which once made far more achievements in the UK box office than in North America would first start painting in the UK and accumulate popularity before moving to North America. However, after seeing the package marketing plan for British films in February proposed by the company's publicity team, Simon resolutely approved the new strategy.
The main reason is that this strategy does not include the phenomenal film ”the six heroes of the pig”. As for ”two big smokers”, the box office in the UK in my memory is 28 million pounds. There is no doubt about its success, but it is far less than the 160 million pounds of ”the six heroes of the pig”, which broke the historical box office record in the UK. Therefore, even if there are some deviations, it does not matter the overall situation.
In addition, the packaging strategy of this release is not only ”two big smokes” and ”follow”, but also ”BJ's single diary”, which is scheduled to open on Valentine's day on February 14, is the top priority.
Although the heroine of the new version of BJ's single diary is Julia Roberts, a typical American girl, the film is from Britain from behind the scenes to the content of the story. It's not too unreasonable to say that it's a British film.
Let's talk about two big guns and follow.
The first two low-cost feature films are widely recognized in the mass media of Britain and the United States. Moreover, according to Simon's proposal, not only Nolan's ”follow” and Guy Ritchie's ”two big smokes” are also labeled as ”brain burning”. After all, the narrative technique of this film is far more complicated than other similar projects in recent years, and it can be called brain burning.
With the general praise of the media and the curiosity of the audience aroused by the brain burning label, the two films have successfully captured considerable public attention in front of the emotional remake of Star Wars.
From February 7 to February 13, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace premiered again. The next week, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was still as high as $26.35 million. Two big smokes and follow, which started with 763 and 712 of the same scale, respectively, won $5.41 million and $4.65 million at the box office.It seems that the box office data of the two paintings are not much, but only in one week, the box office revenue of the two paintings directly exceeds their production costs.
Not only that, the average price of ”two big smokes” and ”follow” reached $7092 and $6530, respectively. In February, there were less than 1000 screening screens in the cool and cool period, so they were basically big sellers. At the same time, the two films also followed Star Wars: the threat of the phantom, the catcher of the soul and the baby of thunderbolt into the top five of the box office list, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.
Then, during the premiere of BJ's diary at the China Grand Theater in Hollywood on February 12, the creators of two big smokers and follow attended together. With the help of danielis entertainment, the three films were formally tied up, making the popularity of the two films rise again after the opening ceremony.
With the popularity at this time and the lack of strong rivals in the market recently, it is expected that the two films can easily be shown to Easter at the end of March, and the box office in North America can easily reach the $20 million to $30 million range expected by Denise entertainment, or even break through $30 million.
Considering that the two films are only two or three million dollars of low investment, only the North American domestic box office returns of ten times the level, plus the income from Shanghai, the profit level of the two projects is no less than some blockbusters with mediocre market performance.
February 14, Valentine's day.
As the first major film of danielis entertainment in 1996, BJ's single diary was painted on a large scale with 2513 screens in North America.
The same praise.
After the word-of-mouth ban was lifted on the second day of the premiere ceremony, the comprehensive media score of the film quickly reached an excellent score of 8.3.
BJ's single diary, commented by variety magazine, is another smart, unusual and delicate love movie after when Harry meets Sally and four weddings and a funeral.
