Chapter 360: Destroy all doubts with box office

There is not so much love between children, and there is no verbose narrative.

The combination of nearly two hours of pictures and sound effects on the big screen in the screening hall can be summed up in one word - run, run.

What happens if you run too slowly, you ask?
For reasons of censorship, there aren't too many bloody answers in the movie.

But the dinosaurs gave the answer with their breathtaking chewing sounds - to participate in activities that give back to nature and turn them into fertilizer for plants - poop.

When Zhang Nan finally escaped from Jurassic Park in the movie on a motorboat.

A guest in the screening room who had experienced life and death moments said with emotion: "I participated in an event a few years ago. The organizer went crazy and locked the door. Then he took a gun and started shooting wildly inside. I am a survivor. One, but the scene at that time, compared with the movie, I felt it was less interesting."

There was a guest beside him who had just come to his senses. Hearing this, he was stunned and wanted to open his mouth to say something.

But just when he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt that his lower body was a little wet, and he quickly crossed his legs slightly.

The ominous premonition came true.

He needs to change his pants.

But on this occasion, it is obvious that he is not supported in doing this kind of behavior.

It was at this moment of despair that he suddenly found that the drink in his hand had a use.

"Oops, I spilled my drink after taking it for so long. Oh, the design of Universal Cinema is really unscientific. How come I can't put the drink back after I pick it up? I had to go to the bathroom to change my pants. "

As soon as he said it, many people in the screening room wanted to ridicule him.

But somehow, the number of people who agreed with similar remarks suddenly increased.

But after some confusion, the warm applause continued as before, and it could be heard that the people who applauded were more sincere and were not applauding against their will for the sake of face.

Seeing this reaction, Zhang Nan felt no surprise in his heart.

After all, he had expected this situation in [Jurassic World 1].

When Spielberg heard this feedback, he was extremely excited.

Because he knows that based on this feedback, the box office of this wave of [Jurassic World 1] should be stable, and he can follow it and return to the top.

Many executives from Universal Pictures have not participated in the filming of "Jurassic World 1" and have not seen the finished film.

So after watching [Jurassic World 1] for the first time, my inner shock was at least a level higher than that of Zhang Nan and Spielberg.

At this time, everyone was filled with excitement.

Especially President Tosh Kramer, after seeing such stunning 1D visual effects in [Jurassic World 3], he was first filled with joy and felt that this box office should be stable.

Then he was full of regrets, regretting that he had done less on a big screen that could show the 1D special effects of "Jurassic World 3", which would definitely have a huge impact on the box office.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting.

Fortunately, Tosh Kramer can sit in the position of president of Universal Pictures. He is not just a jobber, but also has two skills. He then said to the people around him: "Go ahead and focus the promotion on 3D special effects. Let everyone know that only those who have seen the 3D version of [Jurassic World 1] have truly seen it.”

……

The premiere of [Jurassic World 1] is over.

The media followed the old rules and began to report on [Jurassic World 1].

The most conventional method is to interview people who have watched the movie.

Then...an unconventional answer appeared.

Such as "It's best to bring a pair of pants before watching the movie." "Don't complain about why you can't place drinks on the seats in the theater. You need to hold them with your hands all the time. That's for your own good." "Only those who have watched the 3D version of [Jurassic World 1] ], I have just watched [Jurassic World 1].”…

The waiting answer made the paparazzi, who were wearing the cloak of formal media, a little confused.

Why do you need to bring an extra pair of pants when watching a movie?Then the paparazzi took off their formal media attire, bought a 3D version of [Jurassic World 1] and went to watch it.

After watching the movie, the paparazzi who came out added another profound insight among the many weird answers: "It's not a good idea to bring an extra pair of pants, because you won't have anywhere to change them, and the bathroom is full of drinks. For those who wet their pants, I personally recommend wearing a diaper before watching the movie."

Before the release of "Jurassic World 1", after Zhang Nan's arrogant words were exposed, the popularity was not low.

After the premiere of [Jurassic World 1], various bizarre movie-watching experiences were revealed, which added to the popularity.

Finally, when the first-day box office results for "Jurassic World 1" were announced the next day, the popularity immediately exploded.

$8536.

This is the first-day box office hit of "Jurassic World 1" in North America on Thursday.

It directly plowed the record that was previously broken by [Star Wars: Episode III], and improved it by a lot.

But it's not over yet.

For other commercial blockbusters, the box office on the first day of premiere is basically the highest single-day box office for the entire movie.

For example, [Star Wars: Episode III] took in US$3 million at the North American box office on its first day, but dropped to over US$5001 million the next day.

However, the next day's box office of "Jurassic World 1" did not decrease but increased due to factors such as Friday, shocking 3D visual effects, and the need to wear diapers when watching the movie. Going against common sense, it soared. To 9065 million US dollars.

Fortunately, this situation was just a flash of inspiration. The box office of [Jurassic World 1] on Saturday and Sunday followed common sense and began to fall.

In the first four days, [Jurassic World 1] directly swept US$2.35 million in North America.

It shocked the whole of Hollywood.

Especially Lionsgate, which has adjusted the schedule of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in time. Seeing the first-week box office data of "Jurassic World 1", every executive is happy.

Fortunately, the schedule was adjusted. Otherwise, with the momentum of [Jurassic World 1], if it was released on the second day of its premiere, it would probably be crushed.

Also feeling fortunate are the executives of Warner Pictures, the producer of [Batman 1], and director Nolan.

It's just that compared to the former, the latter doesn't show much on the surface, but think about it in your heart.

What would happen if "Batman 1" was released nine days after "Jurassic World 1"?

Based on the current situation of [Jurassic World 1], Nolan gave himself an answer that he thought was pertinent.

That is to say, it should be barely possible to make back the original investment. After all, the total investment of [Batman 1] is only 1.35 million US dollars. If it has 2.7 million US dollars, it can almost make the original investment back.

But when the box office of "Jurassic World 1" came out the next week, it completely shattered Nolan's self-confirmed answer.

Because "Jurassic World 1" took in another $2.01 million in box office in North America over the next seven days.

As soon as this data came out, the entire Hollywood industry, if they were just suffering from numbness before, now they are suffering from epilepsy.

Because compared to the box office of US$2.35 million in the first week, the box office of the second week was US$2.01 million, which means that the box office drop of [Jurassic World 1] in the second week was actually less than 15.00%, only 14.00%.

Such data is a pretty good drop not only for commercial films, but also for low-cost literary films.

When Universal Pictures saw such data from [Jurassic World 1], every executive couldn't control their emotions.

Especially President Tosh Kramer, who looked calm on the surface, but deep down, was constantly shouting: It's back, it's all back, the Jurassic series is finally back.

At this time, no one from Universal Pictures complained that paying a fixed salary of US$2.2 million to hire Zhang Nan was no longer suitable.

No one feels it’s a bad deal anymore.

Because according to the current momentum of [Jurassic World 1], North America has reached 4.36 million US dollars in two weeks, so the global box office of one billion US dollars is definitely not the end of [Jurassic World 1], but [Jurassic World 1] The starting point of World [-]].
