tearjerker director

Chapter 379 Word of mouth broke out in advance
For special screenings like "A Dog's Mission", these people who come to watch the movie do not need to buy tickets, but in return, they have to help fill out a questionnaire.

With the help of the not-so-bright light, Billy drew a stroke on the position of 'A+' on the questionnaire without any hesitation!
"Hey, boy, can you lend me your pen?" asked the old lady next to her.

"Of course!" Billy handed the pen to the old lady.

Then he saw the old lady's A+ position on the questionnaire, and ticked it off.

"Thank you, young man!" The old lady handed back the pen to Billy!

Walking out of the theater, Billy handed the questionnaire to the theater staff, and after walking a few steps, the voice of the husband of the couple suddenly sounded from behind.

"We don't seem to have a pen!" said the husband.

"You can ask the staff to borrow it, my dear!" The wife suggested.

"NO, that's not cool at all!" the husband said with a smile.

"SO? It's just a questionnaire. What do you want to do?" The wife was curious.

"Hiss!" I saw the husband put the two questionnaires together, and then very simply tore off the part with only the A+ score!Then hand it over to the staff.

"Hey, that's all right! The movie is cool, and deserves such an evaluation, isn't it?" The husband raised his eyebrows and said.

Obviously, he was in a good mood. After all, his goal had been achieved, unlike his wife who had already agreed to keep a pet dog, and just now his wife had taken the initiative to discuss with him what kind of dog to raise.

At this time, someone saw what the couple did, and the person who wanted to borrow the pen refused to borrow it.

I tore off the A+ part in a similar manner, and then handed it over to the staff!

Similar scenes like this happen from time to time in one hundred theaters that show "A Dog's Purpose".

Because the screenings on the first day only cost about [-] screens, the first-day screening statistics of "A Dog's Mission" will be released soon.

The average attendance rate of a single show is 28 people, and the average box office of a single show is 260 US dollars, because there are screenings, and many viewers have discounts for buying package tickets.The average number of shows on the first day of a single theater is 8, and the total box office on the first day is 208000 US dollars...

Although the box office is compared with those super blockbusters that can easily reach $15000 at the box office in a single theater, this result is really appalling.

But you must know that those super blockbusters usually have a very high popularity and exposure. In comparison, "A Dog's Mission" can reach such a figure when the publicity has not been fully exerted. , in fact, it has already been counted.

After all, apart from the gimmick of the work of the same director of "The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko", there are actually not many points for publicity and hype.

Moreover, the announcement of the movie has just begun.

In fact, neither Dean Films nor Li Yi cares too much about the box office of the first day's movie screenings. The key is to look at the feedback results of the movie viewing questionnaire.

According to the statistics of Dean Films, a total of 22400 people watched "A Dog's Mission" on the first screening day. The investigators of Dean Films returned 20056 questionnaires, and among them, 15577 people gave the film an A+ rating. The number of people with an A score is 2560, and the number of people with a score below C is less than 200.

The audience's word-of-mouth on the first day of screening can be described as overwhelming.

Of course, the word-of-mouth screenings are just word-of-mouth, and it's hard to say whether it can be converted into box office, but such word-of-mouth is enough to make Dean Films have higher expectations for this movie.

Because there are so many promotional fees for screenings, the promotion of "A Dog's Mission" is still tepid, but as the number of people who have seen the film increases, "A Dog's Mission" has gradually gained popularity among the audience. Fermentation, although the box office on weekdays does not have any explosive trend, it shows a steady upward trend every day.

The latest movie data summary was also fed back to Li Yi and Xu Nannan in a timely manner.

On Wednesday, the average attendance was 39 people, and the total box office in a single day was 314528 US dollars.

On Thursday, the average attendance was 45 people, and the total box office in a single day was 336804 US dollars.

In the first three days of screening, "A Dog's Mission" earned a total of US$859332 in 8593 theaters, with a single box office of US$[-].

This kind of achievement can no longer be described as okay, but it can already be seen that this movie has the potential to explode.

The key lies in the screening results of the three days on the weekend!
In fact, the results of the screenings in the first three days have already spread the reputation of "A Dog's Mission".

Dean Pictures immediately increased the promotion of "A Dog's Mission".

You must know that the fame and appeal of "A Dog's Mission" from the director to the actors are not enough here in North America, and the publicity is also limited. As a result, many people don't know this movie at all. Although the number of people keeps rising, it doesn't look like a big explosion.

But even if this is the case, the answer sheets handed in in the first three days are enough for Dean Pictures to raise the importance of this movie by a few levels.

And as the word-of-mouth screenings in the first three days began to gradually spread, and Dean Films increased its publicity efforts.

The overwhelming word-of-mouth of the audience finally played a role. On Friday night, the average number of viewers in a single show of "A Dog's Mission" unexpectedly exploded in a straight line.

On a single day on Friday, with a scale of one hundred screens, it actually won 595520 box office that day!The single-day box office of a single hall is as high as nearly [-] US dollars.

Compared with the box office on Thursday, it has nearly doubled.

The point is, word of mouth did not drop, and the A+ rating rate of the audience was as high as 82%!

On Saturday, the single-day box office continued to soar, with a reported box office of more than 80 US dollars that day, and the box office of a single venue exceeded [-] US dollars!

This also made the originally scheduled two-week screening time a bit too lengthy.

Because word of mouth exploded too fast.

Dean Films had to negotiate with Li Yi to let "A Dog's Mission" expand the promotion and screening scale in advance.

Because "A Dog's Mission" at this moment, word of mouth has completely exploded.

On several major film review websites in North America, this movie has all received high scores on IMBD. "A Dog's Mission" scored 8.2 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 88%, and the popcorn index has reached the same score. 91%.

Therefore, it does not make any sense to continue to accumulate word-of-mouth and wait and see.

Although Li Yi's original idea was to release it at the same time as the domestic one, he also knew that "A Dog's Mission" can be said to have become a reality in North America. Although it can be used for hunger marketing, it is not a good choice. .

And unlike in China, there are National Day stalls. Here, September to Thanksgiving are actually relatively light schedules, so strike while the iron is hot is the kingly way.

For this reason, after Li Yi communicated with the domestic side, he agreed to Dean Films' idea of ​​expanding the screening in advance!
