Chapter 511 Breaking a Series of Records

At 7:50 p.m. in New York, 3,200 people came out of the Porter Palace Grand Theater one after another.

Immediately, the audience waiting outside could see from everyone's smiling faces that the movie was really good.

It is also the same as the TV station and the media said, it is definitely the funniest groundbreaking film in the history of film.

A New York TV reporter stopped two young and beautiful girls.

The first question asked, let the two girls answer excitedly, 'Henry is so attractive, I really want to marry him. '

and 'Kevin is really cute and smart. If my husband and children were Henry and Kevin, I would have no regrets in life'.

Then when interviewing the children, at least 80% of the little girls said that they would marry Li Changheng when they grow up.

Among the little boys, at least half said they liked Li Changheng, and immediately Jim and Madeleine were greatly relieved after reading the next day's newspaper.

His son is definitely famous all over the United States, but there is still a super boss above him, so he will not become the target of public criticism after all.

This night, movie theaters in a thousand major cities across the United States ushered in the peak of movie viewing.

Even from 11:30 to 1:00 am, the attendance rate can exceed 85%.

Three movies in one night, with an average attendance rate of more than 94%, directly breaking the attendance record of the 3,200-seat Potter Palace Theater.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on January 16th.

Barron and Kallman, who are in charge of Hollywood and the helmsmen of the two major film companies, were smoking cigars while anxiously looking at the phone on the table.

Attendance statistics in this era are really done manually.

The only reassuring thing is that Americans at this time are not as lazy and expensive as they will be in the future.

Moreover, One Thousand Movie Theaters themselves also wanted to obtain real-time attendance data in order to decide whether to include movie theaters in third-tier cities in the show of Home Alone.

Speaking of which, the scale of movies in the United States at this time is not generally large.

Because of censorship, at least 40% of the box office in movie theaters in small American cities comes from Europa’s special art films.

And this is what the American film industry is most dissatisfied with Europa movies.

Many things on my side are restricted by various conservative forces in society, but the Europa people use the slogan of art to export a large number of movies that American men like to watch.

In a certain year in the future, Americans will simply upgrade themselves and directly establish a second Hollywood.

"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring."

A series of bells rang in the late-night office, and Barron and Kallman, who were so anxious that they almost jumped out of their chairs, were immediately frightened.

"Hello", Karman who answered the phone, after listening to the report on the other side of the phone, the whole person instantly became in a trance.

After being awakened by the voice in the microphone, the voice stammered and asked, "You, tell me again, how much is the box office?"

"For 3.4 million US dollars, the overall attendance rate of 1,000 movie theaters is 75%."

The person on the other side of the phone said with an equally excited face, "Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco, Miami and other major cities have attendance rates exceeding 90%.

Even the attendance rate of first- and second-tier cities in the central region is as low as 40%.

Comparing this data with all the movies in the past ten years, it directly broke the records of opening box office, attendance rate, and immediate positive reviews.

And, it's different from what we thought.

Not only children like it, young people also like it very much.

Outside the Nabel Theater in San Francisco, I interviewed a dozen girls from art universities who went to the movies together.

If the girls in her school saw through the deception of the propaganda and knew that Henry Lee appeared in the advertisement at the beginning of the movie, at least half of the girls would go to the movie theater without hesitation.

Moreover, in order to see Henry Lee again, the dozen or so women had already bought movie tickets for a week later, planning to watch it again.

They even complained to me that there is no panda restaurant in San Francisco, otherwise they would definitely try the restaurant where Henry Lee would eat.

Boss, you also know that girls in their 20s are not only not bad at spending power.

It can also drive at least 60% of male peers to follow them in consumption.

So I think we have to change our publicity strategy and shift the main publicity target from McCauley to Henry Lee.

At the same time, at least 500 additional copies of the movie must be printed, otherwise it would be impossible to meet the needs of third-line and those small town movie theaters. "

Kalman was ecstatically thinking about the $3.4 million and the overall 75% attendance.

This means that if there is no accident tomorrow Saturday, the box office is likely to directly exceed 10 million.

Then, even if the number of movie viewers drops by about 20% on Sunday, there will still be 8 million.

The box office exceeded 20 million US dollars in the first three days, which seems to have broken any previous records.

Even compared to the tenth place in last year's box office rankings, it is more than 700,000 US dollars more.

Moreover, based on 90% of the box office share in the first week, United Artists will immediately have a net income of 18 million.

Think about Henry Lee's announced film shooting cost of 3 million U.S. dollars, and 1,500 copies are 7.41 million U.S. dollars.

That is to say, even if 15% of the issuance is deducted, not only did you earn back all your investment in the first three days, but you also made a direct profit of at least 5 million US dollars?

No, it seems that I heard that the three companies that appeared in the opening advertisement have already paid the first payment of 3 million US dollars, not to mention.

And the rumors also said that the contract included a step-up advertising fee.

No one knows exactly how the ladder will rise, but if it is only calculated based on the number of viewers, maybe the three companies will be willing to pay at least 10 million US dollars in advertising fees.

God.

Why are there so smart, so profitable, and so greedy people in the world.

It's a pity that this super boss is not his own boss.

As soon as Kallman finished thinking, his brain got hot, and he slapped himself on the face.

Then, thoughts of envy and jealousy filled his mind, looking at Barron who was frightened by the slap just now.

Then he thought that once the two companies merged, he would really overthrow this guy and become the president of the new company.

But is it really good to work for a boss who is sure to break all kinds of box office records and is rich enough to buy the whole of Hollywood?

A boss who knows the inside story and can even take the lead by himself will not give too much power to the team in the regiment.

That is to say, there will definitely be a reputation. After all, the executives of Hollywood rely on the box office.

But the benefits are hard to say.

It is really difficult to decide whether to ask for the name first and then the money, or whether to ask for the money and the name together.

Then it occurred to Kalman that the box office was beyond everyone's expectations.

The direct consequence is that all kinds of capital will definitely be stimulated by money, and even just following Henry Lee, a king who has never failed, will swarm into Hollywood.
