Screenwriter Mystery

Facts are just as Wen Ziren judged.

"Blair Witch" ended at midnight, and the next day Universal got the box office statistics for the first day.

The first-day box office grossed $678,000.

It can be said that on the day of its premiere, "Blair Witch" has already achieved the cost-returning requirement that most Hollywood movies are struggling to pursue.

And after this is done, every day that follows is money-making for Blair Witch.

"Congratulations, Alan, it looks like your promotion strategy for Blair Witch has been successful."

New York, Universal Pictures.

Looking at the box office results of "Blair Witch" on the first day, Ron Mayer put down the last worry in his heart.

"Congratulations too, Mr. Ron, Universal has once again won a high-grossing movie."

In this regard, Zhao Yuan's performance was calm.

The box office trend of "Blair Witch" was within his expectations.

Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, Ron Mayer's mouth showed a smile that could not be concealed.

Judging from the box office results on the film's premiere day, the success of "Blair Witch" is beyond doubt.

However, even though Ron Mayer knew that "Blair Witch" would bring a profit to the world, he still did not expect that this profit would be so amazing.

After just one day, the box office of "Blair Witch" successfully exceeded the $2 million mark, and it rose directly to $5 million on the third day.

In direct proportion to the box office, it is naturally the number of moviegoers in the theater.

The 56 cinemas and theaters were full, and the people attracted by the "Witch Blair" incident were eager to know the truth of everything.

After watching the content of the movie, they imagined the existence of witches more and more, and publicized their views, bringing those people who were not aware of the "Witch Blair" incident into the movie theater.

Things have developed to this point, "Blair Witch" has been destined to leave a strong color in Hollywood's film history, no matter whether this color is a beautiful pattern or an ugly graffiti, the astonishing income at the movie box office is enough to make any Hollywood film. Capitalists are heartbroken.

Among them, the first to react were the theater owners.

The results of the 56 theaters were enough to make them feel excited. Almost as soon as "Blair Witch" came out at the box office on the first day, many theater owners had already approached Universal and asked for copies of the film.

They don't care about the secrets or influence behind the "Blair Witch" incident.

For theaters, box office is everything.

Soon, the movie "Blair Witch" was released in more than 2,000 theaters in the United States in the second week. These theaters spread all over the major cities in the United States, and also greatly spread the influence of the witch effect.

On the second day of its large-scale release, "Blair Witch" surpassed the box office of 21.37 million US dollars, which also amazed the entire Hollywood.

In the history of Hollywood, there has never been a movie as profitable as "Blair Witch".

With a cost of less than 200,000 US dollars, a low-quality movie shot with DV actually made a box office of 20 million US dollars in the United States.

Has Hollywood degenerated to the point where it doesn't even have the most basic ability to appreciate movies?

For a time, major film critics let out a whimper.

They attacked the Blair Witch story, arguing that it was all just a hoax, a hoax by Universal Pictures to deceive the public for the sake of box office. With the help of the media, the suspected reports of "Blair Witch" quickly appeared on the pages of major media, and rumors spread all over the place.

Some people agree with this point of view, after all, as long as you carefully explore the so-called 'evidence' published on the website and in newspapers and magazines, you will find that everything in "Blair Witch" is not worth scrutinizing, especially in terms of timing, and the crucial videotape , how could it be released so easily, and it was also made into a film by the film company and released all over the United States.

However, some people still believe that "Blair Witch" is real.

He believes that the remarks published by the media are just a cover-up by the government to cover up the secrets of witches, and witches are real.

All these debates have become more intense as the box office of "Blair Witch" exceeds 80 million US dollars.

In the face of growing doubts from the outside world, Universal's public relations team quickly responded.

They issued a statement that all the background in the "Blair Witch" incident is just a story made up by the film company for the promotion of the film, the three missing students in the film are just actors, they are still alive and well, the whole 'Blair Witch' 'The events are nothing more than fictional movie plots.

There is no doubt that Universal's statement has a certain degree of impact on the box office of "Blair Witch". UU reading www.uukanshu.com

However, this is also a helpless solution. After all, as the film is discussed more and more, even the state government of Maryland is preparing to launch an investigation. In order to prevent everything from developing towards the worst situation, Universal has to prepare for the response. .

Fortunately, although Universal's statement has dealt a blow to the 'real' events that "Blair Witch" has always created, the popularity of "Blair Witch" has risen after all, even if the public already knows that the story of "Blair Witch" is nothing more than The propaganda method of the film company, but I couldn't hold back my curiosity and walked into the theater.

There is even a group of people who, even after Universal's public statement, still believe in the existence of witches, and believe that Universal is just a tool used by the government to cover up the truth.

Amid the controversy, the box office of "Blair Witch" unexpectedly did not show a significant decline.

The film has been released for more than half a month. In the last week, it has received a box office of about 20 million, and has successfully accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue.

Don't forget, "Blair Witch" is just a DV movie that cost less than $150,000.

However, compared to the movie's astonishing performance at the box office.

"Blair Witch" is equally lazy in terms of word of mouth.

Many film critics have sprayed the film, claiming that it is the worst movie they have seen since the movie came out.

The veteran film critic Roger Ebert, who had previously given a four-star praise in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", even gave the worst evaluation directly in "Blair Witch".

Commenting on "Blair Witch" is nothing more than a grandstanding movie.

He even named Zhao Yuan, the screenwriter and director of the film, thinking that he would never make a movie.
