431 Chapter 428 "New York Trip" (3) (1/2)

”Last night, the Doomsday Disaster Blockbuster ”New York”, produced by Firefly Pictures and released by Warner, officially held its premiere at the Chandler Theater in Los Angeles. There were big names gathered on the scene, and the audience responded enthusiastically and the atmosphere was hot.”

”The doomsday blockbuster film produced by Lehman, directed by Zach Schneider, joined by actors such as Christian Bell, Eva Green, Dwayne Johnson, etc. finally meets the audience fans under the expectation. The film mainly tells the single father Jack. On a train bound for New York with his daughter Angie, the zombie virus began to raging and spread, and the story of how passengers in the carriage rescued themselves.”

”According to several major chain theaters, ”New York Tour” received a total of 5.23 million US dollars in the early screening at midnight yesterday, setting a box office record for the zero-point show in 2004.”

”From the third-party data statistics business, we can see that the attendance rate of ”New York Tour” at midnight screenings is over 76%, and the favorable rate is also maintained at about 80%.

...

Media people are always the most scented group of people.

When ”New York Trip” received a box office of $5.23 million in the midnight show, although it was still a bit short of the midnight show set by masterpieces such as ”Spider-Man 2” and ”Lord of the Rings 2, 3”, but this year, if nothing happens If it is, the record for the annual midnight show has been locked.

With such a stable reputation and high box office performance, market value has become a high probability event.

So whether it’s getting hot or catching traffic, whether you’ve participated in the premiere or not, you’ve got red envelopes, anyway, these magazines and newspapers started to bluff about it early the next morning, for fear that the content of the press release will be written by other people. Go, there is no place to write.

As for several movies released in the same period, Paramount’s ”The Unfortunate Adventure of Raymond Snitch”, Columbia’s ”Escape from Christmas”, Universal’s ”Advantage Cooperation”, and New Line Film’s ”After Sunset”, including ”National Treasure”, which has been in theaters for more than two weeks, has made it difficult for these films to pose a big threat to ”New York”.

”National Treasure” is very good, but it has passed the time when it has the most market value. It has been in theaters for so many days, and it has cut more than 200 million North American box offices. The momentum has been exhausted, and the revenue has fallen rapidly.

Popcorn movies have always been like this, the momentum rises fast, and the fall fast.

If the two movies confronted dignifiedly, Lehman would be very confident to overwhelm the ”National Treasure”, but the two tigers fight against each other and death and injury are inevitable.

Regardless of the fact that the North American film market has been perfected, and the number of screens has been large, as usual, everyone will get together to show it. In fact, it is not as good as it is now. I will pick it up.

Therefore, at this point in time, it was also specially arranged by Warner, which not only avoided the edge of ”National Treasure”, but also did not eat a bite of meat.

The theaters know the thoughts of Warner Pictures very well. On the day of the show, based on the good performance at midnight, 220 theaters were added to form 3,240 theaters to open paintings, and the film output accounted for about 50%.

The poor ”National Treasure” came in second, with 27% of the films...

As for other large and small works on the market, they can only share the remaining 20% ​​of the film output.

From this perspective, the theaters obviously have great expectations for ”New York Tour”.

Of course, the cinema is optimistic, but it can't prove too much.In fact, theater chains and distribution companies have seen too many missteps.The amount of film is given at a discount, if the audience doesn't like it, it should be pounced.

There are countless precedents in movie history for this thing, and every year there is a time to look away.

But obviously, the quality of ”A Trip to New York” is there, and word-of-mouth is impossible.

Anyway, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, when the film ban was lifted, the ratings immediately rushed up, the former was as high as 8.9 points, and the latter was 87% fresh.Although they are all a bit high, the audience base is not large enough and not stable enough.

But the evaluation is there, and it is impossible to be low.

This in itself is an excellent film that has verified the market prospects. After Lehman’s re-arrangement, two generals, Zha Dao and Wen Ziren, are invited to shoot. The main line inside is extremely clear, filtering out some unnecessary preaching. It seems more refined, success is not unexpected, failure is unexpected.
