Hollywood Drawing

On Friday morning, theaters continued to fill up, and not just the one in downtown Los Angeles, but nearly all of North America was playing the same show. With the large-scale growth of the number of theaters in North America since the 1990s, similar hot scenes have not appeared for a long time.

Today is not a day off. Strictly speaking, the day the film was released is Friday, and 80% of young movie fans need to work, which further reflects the persuasiveness of such a hot scene.

The crew, who had already boarded the plane to catch up on sleep, didn't know what kind of influence their films had, but in the ceo office of the Warner Building in Burbank, the media capital, Jeff Robinoff couldn't hide his smile. I mean, just hung up the phone.

"How is it? Or good news?" Bruce Rosenblum, who was sitting across from his office, stared at him with the same excitement.

"The investigators we sent to various places all called the company back, and the situation was the same, full, full, or full!" He waved his fist vigorously, and Jeff Robinoff straightened his face, serious The director of distribution across the table reminded: "I guess before get off work today, the three major theater companies will call you to ask for more movie copies, be sure to prepare!"

"Don't worry, everything is ready."

This is Wayne's film. Although the theater chain alliance headed by the three major theater chain companies has opened a large public release scale of 3,700 theaters, in the eyes of Warner Bros., it is obviously not enough. An extra thousand copies of the film were printed in preparation for the film's first weekend breakout.

When he got the box office numbers from last night's early show this morning, Bruce Rosenblum knew that the preparations he had made would not be wasted.

The 3,300 North American pre-shows have an average attendance rate of over 75%. This number is too terrifying. This is the attendance rate achieved on a weekday evening on Thursday!

"The box office in advance was more than 17.2 million US dollars, and the box office in a single hall almost exceeded 6,000 US dollars." Bruce Rosenblum's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "This is the result of only one screening. This "Dark Knight" can be said to be creating a miracle as soon as it is released!"

With such a situation developing, both of them know that the box office of a single venue on Friday will break 10,000, which is almost a certainty. This also means that all the early publicity of Warner Bros. and Wayne is worthwhile. It can't be described as ideal, it's simply a perfect start.

Jeff Robinoff whistled, bent down and opened the desk drawer, reached out and took out two thick cigars and threw one across the table.

As they both leaned back in their office chairs and enjoyed their Victory cigars, Bruce Rosenblum said: "The various survey data from last night, the box office numbers and other statistics, I gave Wayne this morning. The assistant has sent an email, and when they land, they will be surprised by these statistics, haha.”

"Yeah, before Jurassic Park 2, if nothing else." Jeff Robinoff turned from behind his desk, walked to the window and looked out at the media capital, smoking a cigar. He opened his hands and made a gesture of embracing the world. "The entire North American theater market will be "The Dark Knight", all of them!"

No one dares to underestimate Steven Spielberg, even when The Dark Knight has a super-perfect start, no one dares to underestimate the good man. Even though Wayne has been known for box office hits since his debut, it has not damaged the strong confidence of the insiders in the Jewish old man.

After all, the head of the DreamWorks Big Three has used too many box office miracles in the past few years to prove his film profitability.

"Who wins and who loses, we have to compare." On the contrary, although Bruce Rosenblum also knew that Steven Spielberg was powerful, he obviously had more confidence in Wayne. "We will increase the promotion of the film, and I will make the Batman logo hang on the streets of North America!"

"Go do it."

Last night's early box office numbers, the one-sided word of mouth from fans, and the good news I received this morning also gave Jeff Robinoff a lot of confidence. He turned his head sharply and looked at the Warner Bros. distribution executive and shouted loudly. said:

"Let go and do everything possible to get the information about The Dark Knight into the ears of every potential moviegoer! After the box office on the first day comes out, I will propose at the board of directors tomorrow to add two more rounds to the film. Tens of millions of dollars in publicity! Go for it, Bruce."

It's really the beginning of "The Dark Knight" so good that it's unbelievable. The whole Warner Bros., and even the whole of Hollywood knows that the second Batman movie will definitely explode at the box office, but I'm afraid everyone I didn't expect it to explode so violently in the first place.

It can be said that as soon as the film appeared in the theater market early on Friday morning, the theater showing "The Dark Knight" was full and the spectacle of queuing for tickets appeared. This film completely ignored the influence of working days and not working days. , even more ignoring the so-called market laws, only half a day has passed, and there has been a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket in the cinema.

"Sorry, ma'am, the latest episode of The Dark Knight will not be available until after five o'clock in the afternoon!!"

The already numb ticket sales staff said to the girl in front of her how many times she had said the same thing.

"What?!" The girl obviously didn't expect it. She raised her wrist and looked at the time. It's just over lunch time. If it's after five o'clock in the afternoon, wouldn't it take more than four hours? "God, can you help me, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to buy tickets tomorrow, so I took a day off to watch "The Dark Knight", comeon, don't make me wait so long! Please." "I'm sorry ma'am, you can visit Wait for a while in the lobby." The conductor was also helpless, a similar situation started before lunch, and he took the trouble to explain. "Maybe there will be fans who refund their tickets halfway through. However, I suggest you buy the 5:15 show, or you may have to buy the show after 9:00 pm after a while!"

"Ok, give me a ticket for 5:15, thank you." As soon as the girl heard it, she knew that it was unrealistic to wait for someone to refund the ticket in the middle, because he had already asked before he came in, and the scalpers at the entrance of the theater did not have it. ticket.

Holding the movie ticket in her hand, she turned around and considered whether she should go home and rest for a while, but her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the ticket gate inadvertently.

There were two straight lines lined up there, and the fans, led by a girl and a black boy in a security uniform, checked in in an orderly manner. Such a scene is not surprising. What shocked her was that these people were all wearing uniform T-shirts and baseball caps.

The solid black T-shirt is very conspicuous, with a huge bat printed on the front and a line of letters on the back: "Wayne Greenberg die-hard fan! The baseball cap is also very distinctive, with two letters on it: DC.

"Excuse me."

The girl who was about to leave stopped, turned around and asked the ticketing staff again, "Did those people also book tickets in advance?"

The staff tried their best to stretch out their heads to take a look, with a look of sudden realization. "You're talking about Schroeder and Daisy, right? They're the leaders of Wayne's fan organization. They don't need to buy tickets. They have three theaters and they were booked two weeks ago. The movie ticket you use is not the same as the one you have in your hand.”

With the explanation of the staff, she realized that the movie fans who were wearing uniforms started watching movies in an orderly manner since the theater opened in the morning. After the end of the game, the crowd in the same costume will come again. This process has lasted for half a day and will continue to continue until the end of the last movie in the theater at night.

The same interests and hobbies represent a common language. Organized and unified viewing, you don't have to grab those sought-after movie tickets yourself. The most important thing is that these people wear the same commemorative T-shirts and baseball caps, and look at them with envious fans. , but the girl is not alone, the fans waiting in the lounge area in the lobby are almost all looking at the same style.

Action is worse than heartbeat, the girl clenched her movie ticket tightly, walked towards the black man who was busy with her eyes with curiosity, raised her hand and patted him on the back.

"Hello, I'm Noah, Noah-Francis." Seeing the black boy turn around, she introduced herself directly, and then pointed to the other person's clothes and hat. "I'm attracted to these, you guys are so cool!"

"Uh...thank you." Schroeder looked at the cheerful white girl, he was sure that in the eyes of the other party, he did not see the usual discrimination, which made him put on his warm smile, Showing two rows of white teeth. "Noah, what's the matter?"

"You guys are so cool, what do I need to do if I want to join you?" With a friendly smile, the girl reached out her hand to touch the other's T-shirt again without pretentiousness, and said enviously, "If you join you, you will be able to Watching a movie together, can you also have these fun things that can't be bought in the market?"

"Of course." Schroeder nodded subconsciously, and after reacting immediately, he said, "I mean we can certainly have these when we join, do you know IMDB? We are all die-hard fans of Wayne through this online movie. The database knows, over there."

Saying that, he pointed to Daisy who was chatting with the ticket inspector not far away. "It's that girl~www.wuxiamtl.com~ who started to organize everyone together a few years ago, because everyone is a die-hard Wayne fan, so we usually get along very well, if you want to join, the premise is , are you a Wayne fan?"

"Yes!"

The girl waved her arms excitedly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and didn't forget to show the movie tickets she just bought. "I'm a fan of Wayne, and I've seen each of his films more than once. Today, I took time off to watch The Dark Knight. I want to join you, what do I need to do? When will you send me a set of clothes? And hats? Are there any other perks to our organization? Have you met Wayne himself?"

Facing the enthusiastic and cheerful girl who kept asking questions, Schroeder raised his hands with a smile and made a gesture of surrender. "Okay, come with me, I'll take you to see Daisy, and you can ask her for the rest."

At the same time, in his heart, he also secretly screamed with joy. Now this fan organization is expanding at a terrifying speed. Even though the threshold for joining the organization has become higher, people continue to join them.

Schroeder believes that if things continue like this, only the members in Los Angeles will have to book two separate theaters when Wayne's new movie is released next time. , can give him an unparalleled sense of achievement.

It’s not just this theater, nor just Los Angeles, that is caught in the movie-watching frenzy that it’s hard to get a ticket. This kind of emotion made the crew members led by Wayne startled when they got off the plane!
