Who was the box office champion on January 9th?
——"Love Returns to Alabama"!
That's right, "Love Returns to Alabama", produced by Touchstone Pictures, won a high box office performance of more than $7.7 million on the first day of its release, and firmly ranked first.
As soon as the data was released, entertainment media reporters across the United States were like cats smelling fishy smells. They wrote articles as soon as possible and then published them quickly.
[Walder Pictures’ Waterloo!]
This is the news title issued by the entertainment version of Times.
It posted: "According to reports, the production cost of Wald Pictures' new work "Love Returns to New Jersey" was only $2.5 million, and the first day's box office was more than $2.05 million. In other words, it can make a return in a few days."
"Even, Wald Pictures can make a small profit with the movie."
"but!"
"We also clearly realize that the money behind the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" is overdrawing Wald Pictures' previous high reputation!"
In the article, the editor of the entertainment version of "Time" presented a set of data, detailing the painstaking achievements of Wald Pictures over the years...
Many movies such as "Running Rolla", "Spider-Man", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Harry Potter" have brought the glory to Wald Pictures...
"Create high-quality movies with your heart!"
"This is the slogan that Mr. Juke Wald, the owner of Wald Pictures, issued to the public when he founded Wald Pictures. But what about now?"
"It is suspected of cheating money!!!"
The word suspicion is used well.
Time magazine and related media under Time are affiliated with Warner Bros. Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood stars, and now seeing the severe situation in Wald Pictures, it is naturally necessary to start the "high-end black" rhythm.
At the same time.
The Pioneer Entertainment News, a subsidiary of Disney Group, also published similar commentary articles.
It posted: "The production cost of the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" is only $2.5 million. Judging from the current box office revenue, Wald Pictures can make a profit, and of course it can make a small profit."
"But!"
"You have to know that the box office of "Love Returns to New Jersey" on the first day of the $2.05 million was a result of 920 cinemas. In other words, the average movie's box office was only $2,700."
"The box office output of a single cinema was only $27 million, which is a result that is far below the market performance!"
"Two words evaluation - extremely poor!"
Well, Disney Group and Zucker have always had gaps, not to mention that the movie "Love Returns to Alabama" released at the same time is a work of Touchstone Pictures, which is also a subsidiary of Disney.
Disney's news media have to take the opportunity to take a few steps.
Well, it's like this if anyone else was changed.
It hurts others and benefits oneself!
.........
After the release of "Time" Entertainment Edition and the Pioneer Entertainment News, a subsidiary of Disney Group, media such as "Week Entertainment", "Boston Entertainment", "Voice of New York Films", and "Hollywood Observer" also launched a corpse-whipping operation against Wald's Night.
“Make money for money!”
"The box office results are now coming from overdrawing Wald Pictures' reputation."
"Walder Pictures' new work in the opening year in 2002 is extremely disappointing!"
......
Such words followed like snowflakes.
Moreover, those film critics who were once powerful but are gradually being eliminated by the market are also unwilling to be lonely and have all jumped out to accuse Wald Pictures.
For a time, the entertainment industry across the United States seemed to have formed a "overthrow of Wald" storm, and there was a rhythm that he would never give up until he destroyed Wald Pictures.
The storm is in turmoil ~
......
Wald Pictures.
At this moment, when Zhuke saw various reports, he couldn't help laughing: "That's it? If they want to be black, they should be smarter. What's the use of these things that don't hurt or itchy?!"
The so-called storm...
The so-called downward Wald storm...
In Zucker's eyes, it's just a child's play house game, and it's very boring. It seems to have had a very bad impact on Wald Pictures, but in fact it's just that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and it's useless!
Zhuke smiled and said, "Kevin, do you know what to do?"
"certainly."
Kevin Feige smiled and said, "The media's words that keep slandering us and slandering us. Looking at a different attitude, isn't it just a promotion for "Love Returns to New Jersey"?!"
Overdrawn reputation?
Bullshit!
The so-called making money for money is overdrawing Wald Pictures’ reputation, and the premise is that the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" is really bad.
But in fact, the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" is not a bad movie.
On the contrary, it is an excellent movie. To put it more madly, it is a fine product among niche movies and a new chapter in the 21st century when it enters a literary and youth-themed movie!
The words of the whole world are ruined, and the bones are destroyed. Three people become tigers...
All kinds of negative news reports seem vulnerable in the face of the hard power of the works!
Of course, the premise is that you must have strong media capabilities and movie distribution capabilities, otherwise no matter how good the movie is, it will not be able to win high box office.
Wald Pictures has global distribution channels;
Its parent company, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, is one of the top ten media giants in the United States;
"With media voice channels, powerful distribution companies, and the rare quality of the works, I really can't imagine what reason we have to fail?"
"Well, unless there is another 9/11 incident!"
Zhuke laughed and felt confident.
really......
Under the influence of various factors, the box office of Wald Pictures' new work "Love Returns to New Jersey" increased the next day without decreasing. The next day, it won a box office of US$2.35 million.
On the third day, he won another score of 2.98 million US dollars.
In the first three days of the first weekend, "Love Returns to New Jersey" achieved a box office record of US$7.38 million!
Excluding the theater's share and various labor expenses, Wald Pictures has successfully recovered its capital. Of course, this does not include the promotion and distribution costs of the movie.
However, this box office performance still shocked many people.
"This, this, how is this possible?"
Touchstone CEO Olmedo widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Walder Pictures' new work is a box office of $7.38 million, which is completely incomparable to our movie "Love Returns to Alabama."
"But, its results are already the best niche literary and artistic film with the box office since 1990!"
That's right!
The movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" which has just been released for nearly three days has created a series of historical records. The box office of $7.38 million is indeed not high, so don't think it is strange, but it is really the peak of niche literary and artistic films!
There is no way, niche literary and youth films in America really belong to "niche among the niches".
Well, it's a very unpopular movie.
Sean Viemy, founder of Melda, a well-known film data acquisition company in the North American film market, said in public: "It is an absolute new beginning for literary and artistic films!"
"Small-budget movies also have miracles!"
At the same time, he also told a set of data results to prove his statement.
In the first three days of the first weekend, the total box office score of the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey" was $7.38 million, but after another 7 days, the total score exceeded $23 million.
The box office of single-game cinema also rose from the original $2,700 to $25,000, a 7.5-fold increase.
Sean Viemy, founder of Melda Data Collection Company, once again spoke: "Next week, "Love Returns to New Jersey" will usher in an expansion in the screening scale. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office of the movie will further increase, and it will completely become the most popular niche literary and literary film in Hollywood since 1990!"
