After the party, Matthew took Helen Herman's car and returned to Burbank together. He inevitably followed the paparazzi. Now is the release period of the film, and the aftermath of the previous scandal and hype is still there. Much media attention, the paparazzi once again helped vigil outside his house.

"Just take me home." Matthew said to Helen Herman directly without being polite at all.

Helen Herman didn't answer him, but instead said, "Why not take your rental car."

Matthew casually said, "Not as comfortable as your car."

Helen Herman glanced at him quickly, and Matthew said honestly, "There was a problem with the engine when the car came, and I sent it away early."

He also reminded Helen Herman, "Don't forget to negotiate with them tomorrow, at least half of the car rental fee will be deducted."

"You need a personal assistant." Helen Herman said indifferently, "This kind of thing should be handed over to your personal assistant."

Matthew almost forgot about this and said, "I see, I'll post a job advertisement later."

Helen-Hellman knew that Matthew didn't want to use her people, otherwise Angel Agency would have a lot of suitable candidates, and added, "You have to hurry up on this matter, there are some things I can do concurrently, but not for too long, and I don't either. May focus on these trivial things."

Matthew nodded, "Don't worry, I remember."

Indeed, letting Helen Herman handle such trivial matters is simply overkill, wasting Helen Herman's time, and in some ways reducing his chances.

The car stopped in front of Matthew's house. Matthew pushed the door and got out of the car. Before closing the door, he turned around and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit?"

He didn't mean anything else, just politely.

Helen Herman also knew this, and waved his hand at will, "If you don't go, I will feel gloomy when I enter your house."

Matthew closed the car door and waved his hand until Helen Herman started the car and left. He opened the door and went back home. As soon as he entered, he sat in front of the computer. First, log on to several websites related to movie reviews and watch Dawn of the Living Dead. subsequent response.

He came back from the party, and it was some time before the premiere and the early end of the show, and it was close to midnight. In this era of rapid development of the Internet, comments on "Dawn of the Living Dead" on the Internet are almost everywhere on the movie website. visible.

Rotten Tomatoes has long since lifted the freshness of "Dawn of the Living Dead", and it is currently 78% fresh, which is slightly lower than the last time he watched it.

"The only thing that's improved in this remake of Dawn of the Living Dead is the quality of the fake blood!"

This is the latest professional film review the site has collected, and it clearly doesn't look like Zach Snyder's version.

But more than good reviews.

"Dawn of the Dead is a remake that, like the 1978 film, is a horror film full of blood, zombies and death. But Zack Snyder didn't just settle for a remake, he jumped out of a zombie movie. Disgusting rut, find another way, especially the scene where the hero played by Matthew Horner plays chess with his friend in the air, and finally has to kill his friend who turned into a zombie himself, which is touching."

There are many similar reviews.

"A good zombie movie with a tight rhythm. In the face of zombies all over the city, a few uninfected people work together, and the kindness and greed of human nature suddenly magnify. Matthew Horner's performance is very eye-catching, I recommend it."

Although the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes does not have a particularly large impact on the box office of a commercial film in the first weekend, if it is well received, it will be related to the trend of the film after the first weekend.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect a zombie movie to draw a super stable trend like "Pirates of the Caribbean".

This type of film has a very short theatrical cycle, and the box office potential is often exhausted within a few weeks, and the first weekend box office is more important.

Matthew turned off Rotten Tomatoes and checked it on IMDB again. He found that the number of comments has increased, and the IMDB score has also come out, with a score of 7.8.

This definitely belongs to the category of high scores in horror movies and zombie movies.

The comments from fans in the comments section below also bear this out.

"As the first film, the remake of Zack Snyder's version is more advanced, high-end, eye-catching, fancy, exciting and enjoyable than Romero's version. In short, I just want to sigh, I haven't seen this in a long time. A good zombie movie!"

"The plot is smooth, and the hero's character is quite distinct. Will Turner can not only fight pirates, but also kill zombies without ambiguity. In the end, suicide almost made me cry."

"The picture is good, the makeup is good, the actors are good, the scene is good, the sound effects are good, it belongs to a very good zombie movie, and there is a scene of Matthew Horner playing chess in the middle is still very warm."

"This is a very good zombie film, which belongs to the genre of light horror and heavy action. The whole film focuses on the hero played by Matthew Horner. Matthew Horner did not disappoint and is still strong. Brilliant watch! Matthew Horner is very manly! The hero is also very manly!"

The response was generally good. After closing the website, Matthew came to his blog, plugged in the USB flash drive, and updated a blog post.

The USB flash drive is some unreleased photos taken by the official premiere today, and he posted them all on the blog.

His blog has long become a gathering place for movie fans, and the message column is full of voices about "Dawn of the Living Dead".

"Matthew and the sharpshooter are so romantic playing chess on the roof, why not Johnny Depp as the sharpshooter?"

"It's not a bad zombie movie. The part of playing chess in the air on the roof of Matthew is really romantic. Enjoy this kind of fearless tension. Also ask why not Depp playing the sharpshooter? Wouldn't it feel more like that?"

Someone below replied, "Because the crew can't afford Johnny Depp!"

After a brief look, Matthew closed the blog, checked the time, it was past midnight, and it is estimated that the box office statistics of the early stage are coming out soon.

He specifically opened his mailbox and took a look. There were no new emails. After waiting for ten minutes, a new email alert popped up.

After Matthew clicked, look directly at the last number, $3.56 million!

Then, Helen Herman called.

"Did you see my email to you?" she asked directly.

"I see," Matthew replied. "Ok, $5.56 million."

Helen Herman on the other side of the phone added, "If nothing else, the box office on the first day will exceed $15 million, and the box office on the first weekend will definitely reach the expected $25 million, maybe $30 million."

Hearing the figure of 30 million US dollars, Matthew was still a little excited and asked, "With 30 million US dollars in the first weekend, the North American box office is expected to exceed 100 million, right?"

"It's hard to say." Helen Herman's voice was as calm as ever. "For this type of film, staying power is often a problem."

Matthew leaned back in the chair and said, "Forget it. It's getting late, rest." He stretched, "I'm going to bed."

Hanging up the phone, Matthew stopped thinking about movies for the time being and went to wash and sleep.

The midnight box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" has given him a reassurance.

The early-stage performance of more than 5 million US dollars may not be a big deal for a summer commercial blockbuster, but it is very eye-catching for a zombie film with a production cost of less than 30 million US dollars.

From the film's current reputation and midnight box office, Matthew confidently concluded that the box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" in the first weekend will exceed the production cost line.

After the North American box office exceeds the production cost line, he can take a share of the box office.

In the remuneration agreement signed by Matthew and the crew, in addition to the basic remuneration of 5 million US dollars, the two parties agreed to use the film's production cost line of 28 million US dollars as the trigger point for the sharing clause. If the North American box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" reaches 28 million US dollars, He, an absolute male lead, can get 1% of the North American box office as a reward. When it reaches 50 million US dollars, it increases to 2%, 70 million US dollars is 3%, 90 million US dollars is 4%, and 100 million US dollars is 100%. five out of five.

Five percent is also a capped ratio.

In terms of monetary income alone, Matthew also hopes that the North American box office of the film will exceed 100 million, so that the box office share alone will have 5 million US dollars.

Of course, this possibility is very small, otherwise the crew would not have signed such a box office sharing agreement.

According to normal circumstances, the North American box office exceeds 100 million, which can only be a good hope.

Friday is coming soon, and the latest status of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is constantly being reported here through the crew. March is a traditional off-season for the North American film market. The film did not encounter strong competitors, and the overall attendance was not bad.

By the end of the evening, the North American box office was approaching $10 million.

After all, Friday is a working day during the day, and the box office outbreak on Friday is often concentrated in the evening.

On Friday night, the screening rate and occupancy rate of theaters showing "Dawn of the Living Dead" increased ~www.readwn.com~ The occupancy rate of some popular theaters even exceeded 50%.

By the early morning of Saturday, Matthew got the box office statistics of "Dawn of the Living Dead" on the first day, and his heart was completely put back in his stomach.

$15.2 million!

On the first day of the film's release, the North American box office reached more than half of the production cost line.

As the film's reputation is still good, there are no very strong competitors in the same period, and the aftermath of the previous publicity and hype is still there, on Saturday, the attendance rate continued to rise, and major commercial theaters also increased the "Dawn of the Living Dead". The filming rate, more filming means more screenings, and the most direct result is more box office revenue.

"Dawn of the Living Dead"'s Saturday box office was a marked increase compared to Friday, which took in $11.8 million, excluding the $5.56 million early-stage box office.

With the combined box office of the two days, the North American box office of "Dawn of the Living Dead" is about to break through the cost line.

Compared with the cost of the film, it is inevitable that the film will sell well. This is something that everyone can see.
