Ace Hollywood

Chapter 177: The beginning of the storm

?

The first show in the morning of American cinemas is usually around 11 o’clock, and in addition to immediate output, the box office generally also includes pre-sale tickets – this is actually a very large piece. The pre-sale situation of some screenings will determine whether to give more films. But "Greek Wedding" is completely different this time. The regal and these theaters will only give a total of no more than 20 to 30 screens for point screening. The independent theater group is almost the size of a family with one or two screens. Therefore, there is no pre-sale at this time, because the point screening itself is to observe the prospect of the official release.

However, because of the "seven days" plan planned by Daniel, the arrangement of the theater was broken. Therefore, even if the release plan was temporarily changed, the pre-sale was not opened on the 1st. This is the reason why "Greek Wedding" was only $190,000 when it was broadcast live at the box office at 2:00 in the morning. However, from the early morning of the 2nd, the official movie will automatically enter the pre-sale. For a movie that is being released, you can buy tickets at will on the days when there are pre-release movies. This is a common practice.

So, start with the box office live at 8. Early risers noticed that box office numbers that were unchanged at 4 and 6 a.m. changed during the 8 a.m. live broadcast.

"#BoxofficeLive#"My Big Greek Wedding" is an official film in Los Angeles, and as of now, the box office figure is '270,000'."

"Wow, it's moving."

Jenny, who is about to change shifts, finally waited for this new update. Generally speaking, colleagues who take over will be ten minutes early, while those who work night shifts have to turn off their computers and pack up and get off work as early as half an hour before. But this day, Jenny's colleagues found that this was not the case. Jenny had been grinding until eight o'clock before turning off the computer, and her face was very excited, it didn't look like she had not slept all night.

Jenny used to be lah's amateur admin, but jumped to the company that runs lah a few months ago, of course out of a passion for similar work - not the logistics of a retail business. But after this company. Although Jenny is doing a good job, she is obviously still a little uncomfortable.

Excited like today. Relatively rare, colleagues are of course more curious.

"The account of "Greek Wedding" on mb got a box office live broadcast yesterday, and it will be updated every two hours. I just found out that the box office has started to grow again, which is really happy."

"Live at the box office?"

"Yes, it is to count the box office up to that time and put it on mb. I am very excited and can't help but look forward to the next update. But I have to go back to sleep, I can rest for 48 hours, right? I decided Going to the movies tonight and contributing to that number."

Americans work 40 hours a week, often with Saturdays and Sundays off. But that's not the case with lah, their rest periods are rotated and spread out throughout the week. Jenny finished yesterday's night shift. You can rest until Monday.

Several colleagues who have turned on their computers can't wait to enter the mb homepage of "Greek Wedding". They work on the website and feel more direct and sensitive than ordinary occupations, so Jenny's excitement is easily passed on to Her colleagues, after all, the various activities in the early stage have long spread within lah.

"Yes. Why only $270,000, poor Daniel. It won't be his first failure this time, will it?"

Including "School Blues", "Legal Blonde", "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "Bourneman", every Daniel's work is a big profit, even if "Gladiator" does not make that much, but its The overseas box office is also very impressive, and more importantly, it has brought Daniel numerous awards, including a Golden Globe and an Oscar. So, no one thinks Daniel's taking on Gladiator was a mistake.

This can't be blamed on Jenny's colleagues. The numbers they are used to hearing, similar to this kind of pre-screening hit movie, also have several million at zero-point. But they apparently overlooked that "Greek Wedding" is only released in the Los Angeles area, and that's just point screenings and a smattering of pre-sale numbers.

"Jenny, let's watch it with you after get off work. You can also bring my sister. She likes Daniel the most."

This is a male employee who has some thoughts on Jenny.

"Wow, good advice, we can totally watch it together. Let me count how many people, 1, 2, 3... oh, 11, plus Levine's sister, 12, and family members Is it?"

Levine had to accept the harsh truth that dates turned into parties.

But seeing Jenny's high spirits, he had to comfort himself that there was still a chance.

Finally, I counted the number of people. Except for a colleague on the night shift, a total of 15 people will watch it together, including five family members.

"Then I'll buy a ticket. How about 8 o'clock? You can go eat something first."

"I agree."

"Of course I agree, Jenny's arrangement is excellent," Levine added.

But Jenny apparently didn't receive the hormonal and androgen-laden message from her male counterparts—often called "heating" in the animal world. Jenny's adrenaline is only secreting for Daniel's movie now, she immediately called and booked fifteen tickets at the nearest theater, the remaining seats were not very good, and they couldn't sit together, and it was divided into two calls.

"8 o'clock is a popular show, and we have too many people. It's good to be divided into two groups."

"Does this mean that there are really not many people watching the movie?"

Is that actually the case? Obviously the answer is "no", they also forget that today is the day off for most people, they will go to the movies at any time of the day, and couples may go to other more meaningful things in the evening - yes, Everyone knows it. Plus, young people are going to party, so tonight's show won't be as busy as a weekday.

Jenny, who had booked the tickets, said goodbye to everyone and went home to make up for her sleep.

her colleagues. Then others began to pay attention to the mb homepage of "Greek Wedding".

...

DD Films, Daniel, who had a rest at home after two in the morning, went back to dd's office, and David didn't go back at all. Spent a few hours in my office.

Young people working overtime were replaced.

"How much?" Daniel asked, leaning over to look at the numbers, "270,000?"

Daniel, who knows all of this by heart, certainly understands the meaning of this number better than Jenny and her colleagues.

"David, this time we really did an amazing thing."

...

"Has the data from the Flywheel Company not come yet?"

"Here, wait a minute, I'll report to you right away. Oh. By the way, the hippocampus is here too."

"I got the data from the Oriental Cinema. Their staff actually called."

"Great, how many more? Just look at how many vacancies you have on your form."

The space of dd gradually became hot, and from 8:00 to 10:00, people who just started to work. The first wave* of bookings by phone and online has arrived. This should be the number of the previous days, but it was all concentrated at this moment in the morning. Many movie theaters' ticket booking calls were overwhelmed. They were always on the phone, and the staff had to speed up the time for each ticket booking.

On the form of the dd staff, the cumulative number keeps rising.

This kind of busyness continued until 10 o'clock, and it subsided a little. After the official start of the show, there were more on-site ticket purchases. After all, this is not a hot moment, and there is no need to grab tickets like "The Fellowship of the Ring".

I don't know how many people in the United States are following the official mb update of "Greek Wedding", which can be seen from the number of retweets and comments of their 8 o'clock update. More than 10,000 people have followed, and that's not counting those who just browse and don't do anything.

"updated."

"Oh, it's out."

"New numbers are coming."

Everyone shared it with colleagues, family members, classmates, and friends around them.

"#BoxofficeLive#"My Grand Greek Wedding" will be officially filmed in the Los Angeles area on the 2nd. Up to now, the box office has been '1.34 million'!!"

Two heavy exclamation marks express the excitement of the operator.

And this also ignited the enthusiasm of the followers.

"Oh. Here are 15 of our tickets, and I'm sure a lot of people are like us. Don't want to see Daniel fail. Hope it's a good movie," said lah's Jenny colleague.

This is of course a common mentality.

Yes, for those 1.34 million miles, I have a ticket, my friend's, and my mother's - I am with this number.

"The number 1.34 million" is cheering in front of different computers.

It's 10:00 in the morning and the number has reached 1.34 million, which means that even if the number stops at this value, the contribution value of a single screen is already more than 2,400 US dollars - more than "Spider-Man" and "Clone Menace". , slightly behind "Bourne Bourne".

And stop here?

Even Carmichael's Matthew Fox couldn't have such a fantasy. "The Greek Wedding" really had the scene he least wanted to see.

"Maybe, when people go in and see the quality of the film, they feel cheated. Then Daniel will suffer, and they will know that there are dire consequences for taking advantage of the audience."

Matthew's mind spins things that he doesn't believe. He has seen "The Greek Wedding". Maybe it won't suit many people's tastes, but it will never be called a bad movie-compared to It gets funded, and the film can even be used without guilt as a model for other bad movies that invest more.

"We have to see that this kind of propaganda has its drawbacks~www.readwn.com~ In the small Marvel conference room, Avi Arad, Kevin Feige, Anna Hull and other Marvel executives All are present.

Kevin, who has always insisted on setting up his own film production company, is convincing Allard to bring dd Pictures to The Punisher with the amazing publicity and success of "Greek Wedding", but obviously he still has some problems to solve. (To be continued)
