"I'm sure it won't work this time. My mother warned me not to bother Simon any more Yes, I'll fly to London tomorrow. My mother will accompany me. I've also borrowed a private plane from Simon and a penthouse by the Thames River in London. I can still walk on Burberry show. Oh, envy So, Annie, you have to work hard... "
"What's wrong with ghost record What's the problem with the first day of 9.57 million Wow, so powerful Unfortunately, I don't have time to watch it in North America.

"What's the matter with duhuaxin? I'll tell you, there are only two kinds of men in the world, the capable and the incapable Gay, is there any contradiction between gay and playboy? It's just that the object of their Playboy is a man You said it first Well, mom told me to have breakfast. Hang up first. Bye. "
In the big flat in Greenwich Village.
Saturday morning.
Elizabeth Jagger hangs up Ivanka's phone, removes the towel from her head, changes her bathrobe and runs to the door.
Jerry hall just stood at the door and was about to raise her hand to knock again. Seeing her daughter open the door, she knocked on her forehead and said, "come and have breakfast with me. You can't be late for the 10 o'clock meeting. You need to take care of it for Helen. She has worked in cosmopolitan for 32 years. Although she is about to retire soon, she has a very deep relationship in the fashion world and will be in the future A few more nice words at some parties will help you to gain a foothold in the circle. "
Elizabeth intimately took her mother and walked out, slightly unconvinced: "we have Simon. Even if we don't have a good impression, those people in the fashion circle will treat me like a princess."
Jerry hall made a gesture and knocked on his daughter's forehead: "Simon can't help you with everything. He just builds a ladder. How high he will climb in the future depends on you."
"I'm so tired."
"If those little girls who have no background hear you complain like this, they will be so jealous that they will strangle you."
Elizabeth grinned: "Mom, you're jealous too, aren't you?"
Jerry hall was the kind of American farm girl with no background back then, and she has come to the present step by step.
Seeing her daughter say so, Jerry hall gave her a white look: "yes, I regret that I gave you birth."
Mother and daughter came to the restaurant.
Elizabeth said hello to her younger brother James, who started to run around when she was one year old. Sitting next to her five-year-old sister Gloria, while waiting for the waitress to help her share the meal, she thought of the cartoon conversation with Ivan: "Mom, ghost record has sold out at the box office. Eni just said, well, on the first day, there are more than 9 million, which is 30 times the cost of 300000 US dollars 。”
Jerry hall was eating his fruit salad and nodded: "yes, I read the newspaper."
When Elizabeth thought about it, she sighed: "I'm going to be a scholar for $2000. If I want to earn $9 million, I need, um A lifetime is probably not enough. It seems that I still want to try to be a movie star. No, I want to be a producer and invest in my own movies. "
Jerry hall allowed his daughter to go wild, noncommittal.
Producer or something, it's not that easy.
Before breakfast, she read the data of the first day of ghost record in the newspaper, and she just felt incredible.
According to the first day results, the cost of 300000 US dollars is conservatively estimated to reach 150 million US dollars at the box office only in North America. The box office cost return of 500 times is higher than that of "the six heroes of the pig", which is very popular during this period. Danielis entertainment is just picking up money.
Just, a little bit, you can understand that this achievement is not as easy as ordinary people think.
Now Hollywood, the seven major studios, even the other six major studios besides danielis, want to make a movie hot in just two weeks at a very low cost. For example, the most obvious weakness of the other six Studios is the lack of network platform.
And then, even if we don't care about the cost, we have to return to the movie itself.
If the film quality is not good enough, with the maturity of the film market in North America, the audience will not be used to bad films at all. As a result, the more investment in the early stage, the more losses will be.
In the final analysis, it's a man who magically selects "ghost record", just like the other party also selects "the six heroes of the light pig" and "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon". This is the biggest advantage of danilis entertainment. But then again, there are good films, lack of resources, the same futile.
Now Denise entertainment has everything.
Elizabeth fantasy, see mother does not speak, and said: "Mom, to London, we also go to see the film, OK?"Jerry hall was curious about the ghost, but he didn't think about whether it would be shown in England. He nodded at random and said, "OK."
"And Simon's side..."
Before her daughter finished, Jerry hall interrupted. He put down his knife and fork and stopped eating for a while. He looked at Elizabeth solemnly: "I remind you again, Liz, don't pester Simon too much. He will be disgusted."
"No, Simon is so good tempered."
"Good natured people, once you lose patience, you will have no way back," said Jerry hall, pointing to the dining table. "At that time, Helen, they will leave. Without the waitress team, you will have to make your own breakfast every day, and there will be no private plane to take you around. If you want to be a supermodel, you will have to fight for your own chance, maybe not I want to sleep with some brands. "
Elizabeth listened to her mother's depiction of some horrible scenes, and her eyes widened slightly: "Mom, we should be rich now, right?"
"That's my pension."
"Even without Helen and them, can we afford ordinary servants?"
"Yes, but my servant."
"Well, mom, you are so heartless."
"What's more, if you annoy Simon and make us lose everything, I can only treat you as a cash cow and squeeze you like bogey's mother."
"Mom, I'll make sure it's a joke, right?"
Jerry hall looked serious: "no, it's a serious warning."
Frightened, Elizabeth raised her hand and said, "well, mom, I'm wrong."
When the mother and daughter casually skip the "serious" topic of ghost story, the film and television circles in North America have exploded again because this ultra-low cost film, which costs only 300000 US dollars to produce, has been produced.
According to the momentum of the film in the previous two weeks, we all know that this new type of small film will sell well. However, everyone did not expect that the box office of ghost will be so good.
You know, this is the second most popular time of the year after January and February, and the end of September!
Not to mention the box office of US $9.57 million a day, even if a movie can earn US $9.57 million a week in such a month, it can be regarded as a very good result.
What's more, "ghost record" is an ultra-low-cost movie with a budget of only 300000 US dollars. Before the movie was released, because of the poor quality of the picture, there was a dispute about whether it should be classified as a movie.
Now, the first day's box office is 9.57 million, which means that the first week's box office of the film will reach 40 million to 50 million US dollars. However, due to the lack of competitors in September and the phenomenal popularity of this small film, the complete box office in North America can also reach 150 million US dollars.
500 times of the box office return ratio, it's amazing.
Compared with the same period, the contrast will only be stronger.
On the previous Friday, there were four new films in the North American film market. Not to mention the other two marginal films with less than 500 screens, there were only two at the core, namely "ghost story" produced by new world pictures of danielis entertainment and "doomsday alert" produced by DreamWorks and released by itself.
The production cost of the former is US $300000, while the budget expenditure of the latter is US $50 million.
Steven Spielberg as producer and starring Hollywood actor George Clooney, "doomsday alert", based on a best-selling novel, tells a story of nuclear weapon theft which has been popular or very common in recent years.
Compared with the excellent media score of 8.3 before the release of ghost, doomsday alert has lost its reputation first, with a comprehensive media score of 4.3.
This is obviously the main reason why DreamWorks didn't put the films on the popular summer files.
Whether a film is good or not can often be determined by some internal trials before it is released, especially for commercial films. Therefore, the distribution strategy will be formulated according to the internal word-of-mouth.
However, after all, with the investment of 50 million US dollars and the level of heavy bomb, the number of opening screens of "doomsday alert" has reached 2363, which is significantly higher than that of "ghost record" of 2045.
The two films were released at the same time. In the end, the box office contrast on the first day was strong.
"Ghost record" only earns us $9.57 million in one day. No accident, it can reach the sales level of more than ten thousand in two days. Look at doomsday alert again. On the first day of the painting, the box office revenue was only $3.05 million. It's less than one-third of ghost record.
300000 vs 50 million.
More than 160 times the cost gap.
The box office turned out to be 9.57 million versus 3.05 million.
Such a strong contrast even gives people an unreal feeling.
On the first day of "doomsday alert", it is estimated that the box office in the first week will not exceed US $15 million at most, and the local box office will only be about US $40 million.
The total domestic box office of 40 million may be less than one week's revenue of ghost.However, carefully speaking, the 40 million US dollars of "doomsday alert" may still be within the expectation of DreamWorks, otherwise it will not be on the cold end of September.
The problem is obvious.
Or "ghost record" is too strong, strong to everyone for a time at a loss.
You know, inside and outside Hollywood, not to mention those super blockbusters that are maturing, it's just that since the beginning of this year, kung fu movies have been sold so much that people think they've found a way, and they're trying to copy jet Lee's Hurricane rescue. As a result, they have jumped out of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon.
Then Cannes smashed a 2 million pound feature film, which broke the box office record of 15 + type in the UK.
People began to pursue the study of realistic movies in Britain and even the United States.
This time, we haven't seen it yet, and the ghost record was born again.
It's so overwhelming that you're caught off guard.
Moreover, compared with "hurricane rescue", "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" and even "the six heroes of light pig", the "ghost record" has attracted more attention.
Because compared with other movies, this movie is too easy to follow.
As long as you have seen this film, it is not difficult to find that the cost of 300000 US dollars is obviously due to the production of a large studio like danielis, and the cost will inevitably go up too much. In fact, it is not impossible for an IREC with two or three actors to be completed with several thousand US dollars without the burden of a large studio like danielis.
This means that everyone from big Hollywood studios to the lowest level movie newlyweds who pursue their dreams in Hollywood will have a chance to try.
Because only one IREC is needed.
The threshold is too low to imagine.
Moreover, in the future, even if it is far inferior to ghost record, even if it has only one tenth or even one percent achievement, it will be enough for too many people to try one after another.
If you succeed in following the trend and make a big bang, you'll surely get rich overnight, become famous at one stroke, and reach the peak of your life every minute.
As a result, on this Saturday, with numerous media reports on the box office of ghost records, there are countless people in the United States, all States and all over the country. Besides the ordinary audience, they enter the cinema with the attitude of learning and following suit. At the same time, there are more media. In order to catch up with the hot spots, they send their most effective reporters to enter the cinema to watch the film again.
Just to explore the secret to the success of this black horse, whose production cost is only $300000 and whose box office revenue on the first day exceeds 30 times the cost.
Compared with before the release of the film, the topic degree of the film has increased again, and it has also attracted more audiences to buy tickets, so that during the day of Saturday, there was a rare queue to buy tickets in some areas.
At the beginning, the new world film team was not in a hurry to release ghost story overseas, including basically opening the door to Hollywood movies. As long as they wanted to do it, they could realize the synchronization of the British market. Therefore, the hall mother and daughter privately discussed watching the movie in the UK, but they could not see it.
Now, when the first day box office of the film comes out in North America, distributors and cinemas from all over the world have contacted Denise entertainment.
People are really worried.
Such a film, such an influence, is definitely the best way to strike while the iron is hot.
On the other hand, most of the overseas countries and regions are also in a state of unpopular schedule. In the past, the market will inevitably be weak, and the online seat rate can be imagined. At this time, of course, we expect a phenomenal blockbuster movie to stimulate the audience.
Danielis entertainment has also started to rapidly promote overseas distribution in accordance with the past sharing practice.
Mainly considering the limited schedule.
If it is delayed to the end of the year, the overseas box office of ghost will certainly be higher than that of the film, but it will inevitably occupy the resources of the film at the end of the year, and the gain is not worth the loss.
To make a decision, Denise Entertainment's strong global distribution network and efficient execution quickly show.
Britain, Australia, New Zealand and other countries in the English speaking region quickly finalized this Saturday. It is expected that ghost will be released in two weeks. Some countries, such as Germany and Spain, will be released in the next month or so. Even a few conservative overseas markets, such as France and Japan, with hidden protection barriers, will not be delayed until the end of the year.
