Chapter 919 Terrifying Single Hall Results
Hymers was eventually carried out of the cinema and placed on a seat outside, waiting for him to recover.
Because this guy really didn’t have much to do, he was probably too frightened.
No matter how Hymers explained it, no one believed him. They all thought he was frightened and not only fainted but also vomited.
A few minutes later, Hymers called again.
As soon as the call was connected, Heimers asked: "Have you made any arrangements?"
"Not yet!"
"Not yet?" Hymers got angry. This guy was hopeless. He stayed here for a while and heard many people cursing the theater and the distributor.
To say that a movie as good as "The Blair Witch Project" only has so few films in the schedule is completely blind.
Many people even got angry because they couldn't buy tickets, and a few young people even cursed.
The seats not far from him were filled with people who were frustrated because they couldn't buy tickets for "Blair Witch". At a glance, there were thirty or forty people.
Then I asked you to immediately arrange for more films to be scheduled, but you told me you didn’t?
"Now, immediately, immediately, notify all major theater chains and request that the film schedule of "Blair Witch" be expanded to at least 1,500 theaters!"
"But..."
Are you still following me?
But your uncle, you don’t want to make money? But there’s something wrong with your brain?
"It's a butt, there is no but, right away..."
Hymers yelled into the phone with a stern voice, furious.
Little Hymers over there had no choice but to say: "Okay, Dad, don't be angry, I will make arrangements right away!"
How many films to schedule, whether to arrange screenings during prime time or garbage time, actually has nothing to do with the distribution company, and everything to do with the performance of the film.
But Mr. Hymers was anxious and urged his son to make arrangements.
The Shinkansen Company is also a big company, so the theaters will take care of their face to some extent.
It is estimated that 1,500 households are unlikely, but 1,000 households should be fine.
Mr. Hymers, making plans.
Suddenly the phone rang.
His heart skipped a beat, he was the general manager of the "AM" cinema chain.
The "AM" cinema chain is the largest cinema chain in Xizhou, with 620 cinemas and 7,900 movie screens. There are also 358 cinemas and 2,860 screens in other countries in the Xizhou cultural circle.
There are almost a thousand theaters in total, and they have a strong say in scheduling films.
But their general manager, Robert, is a very difficult guy to deal with.
Not to mention that he is cunning and very carefree. I don’t know what he is calling this time.
He instinctively resents this old guy.
But he still answered the phone.
"Hi, Mr. Robert, what do you want to see me for so late?"
Mr. Robert changed his usual low and artificial tone, and his tone was relaxed and cheerful, "My old friend, I'm calling to tell you some good news!"
"Oh?"
"The movie "Blair Witch" you released did very well in the single theater. I plan to increase the number of films tomorrow..."
A guy who can’t afford to go early without any benefit.
Hymers cursed in his mind. He was also curious. There were only twenty theaters in "AM" theaters that showed this movie. He didn't know how good a single theater would be.
"Good results?" Heimers smiled and said, "How much is that?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Robert couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mr. Hymers, you must have never imagined that I admit that I was shocked. The results in each theater were as high as 30,000 yuan, which is much higher than "Out of the Galaxy"!
”
"What?"
Hymes squirted all over the phone.
30,000!
An Ran really got it right. His hand holding the phone was shaking and he almost fainted again.
This was more than ten times more than he expected.
Hymers took a breath of air. When a blockbuster movie like "Out of the Galaxy" premiered, the single-venue score was only around 10,000.
If the box office on the first day can exceed 50 million, then there are definitely signs of a big hit.
But if every one of the fifty movie theaters of "Blair Witch" costs 30,000, then it would be 1.5 million.
Not only did we get our money back, but we also started making money.
Hymes' hands were shaking with excitement.
"Mr. Hymers, everyone is very impressed with this movie, saying it is the most realistic horror movie. I plan to add 300 theaters to schedule the movie tomorrow. What do you think?"
How about it? It would be best to show it in all your cinemas.
Hymes held the movie tightly and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Roberta."
The two said a few words, and then Robert hung up the phone.
As for the amount and time of filming, he no longer has to worry about it. With 300 theaters showing it at the same time, there will be no difference in film scheduling and time.
At this time, Hymes had to admit the power of this movie.
I also have sincere admiration for An Ran.
This guy really made the right bet, he is bold and has great vision.
If the box office of this movie exceeds 100 million, wouldn’t it mean that it will make a fortune?
Basically, for every ticket sold, he can get nearly 40% of the money. If the box office reaches 100 million, the company can earn 40 million!
What an amazing rate of return.
If a blockbuster like "Out of the Galaxy" doesn't sell for 500 million yuan, the production company won't make any money at all.
If it exceeds 500 million, it will turn around a little bit, and it may not be as profitable as "Blair Witch".
It’s simply a money grab.
The more Hymers calculates, the more excited he becomes. Talents like Enron must be captured at all costs.
Next, managers from several theater chains called and told him to increase the film schedule.
Then Hymers was shocked. The single-house performance of "Blair Witch" was stronger than he imagined. Although some of it was only 10,000 or 20,000, that was because of the lack of film schedule.
Some are as high as 50,000, and the average score in a single hall is around 35,000.
This is simply an incredible achievement.
Hymers was so excited that he couldn't help but waved his fist in the air.
Well done this time, An Ran is indeed the savior of the Shinkansen.
It’s just that it may not be easy to discuss cooperation with him next.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he wants to develop in Xizhou, there is no need to worry about him not agreeing to his conditions.
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call An Ran.
But it’s getting late, so I guess people have already taken a rest.
So I gave up the idea.
But at this time, little Hymers called again.
"What happened again!"
Although Hymers was questioning, his tone was very good. The performance of "Blair Witch" was so amazing that he was in a good mood.
Little Hymers murmured: "Father, there is something I didn't tell you."
"What happened?"
"That...that..."
"Hurry up!" Hymers' tone became impatient. Her mother-in-law didn't look like a man at all.
"That's it, father, I want to tell you that the copyright of "Blair Witch" is not in our hands. I sold the entire copyright of 500,000 yuan to Enron!" Little Hymers finished the matter in one breath, "And
, we help him distribute the movie for free...in other words..."
Chapter completed!
