Chapter 702

After flying to Vancouver in Canada, Murphy and the crew took part in various activities step by step to increase the exposure rate of the film so as to attract more audiences into the cinema, such as interviews with TV programs and media, as well as interaction with fans on the Internet and in live activities, which are commonly used in publicity and promotion.

"City of darkness" has also begun its third week of release in North America. In the past ten days, the film has taken $466.84 million from North America. In an era when the average ticket price is only $8.30, it means that more than 50 million North American audiences have seen the film.

Although there is still a big gap from the potential 150 million film consumers in North America, a film can not be enjoyed by everyone. After this period of screening, "dark city" can not get rid of the inherent market rules, and its popularity and momentum are gradually slowing down.

On the new Monday, the one-day box office of "dark city" dropped to 11 million US dollars; on the day of Murphy's arrival in Vancouver, due to the traditional discount day, the box office increased slightly and gained 12.6 million US dollars; on Wednesday, the one-day box office of "dark city" declined again to 10.3 million US dollars; on Thursday, the one-day ticket of "dark city" declined For the first time, real estate fell below $10 million to close at $9.8 million.

Before the third weekend, after 15 days of screening, the North American box office of "dark city" has reached 510.54 million US dollars, breaking the original North American box office record of "Avengers" of $500 million in 23 days by breaking $500 million in 14 days.

Despite the amazing box office rate of "dark city", it still faces a series of competitors.

On May 16, Paramount Pictures' Star Trek 2: the dark world was released; on May 23, zenith Entertainment's "Thriller" will join the summer camp; on May 31, Sony Columbia Pictures' super blockbuster "Thriller crisis" seized the Memorial Day Camp

"For the film" amazing crisis, "Carla Firth said, looking out of the window at Murphy," Sony Columbia Pictures has invested $150 million in production costs and $80 million in publicity and distribution costs... "

This is the last leg of the crew's promotion in North America. Carla Firth flew to Seattle to hold a small US $500 million celebration on behalf of 20th century fox. The US $500 million box office result is enough to make "dark city" one of the top five box offices in North America!

In fact, in front of "dark city", there are only "Avengers", "Titanic" and "Avatar"

however, the North American box office of the three films are high enough, and it is not easy to surpass them, "Avengers" is $623.35 million, "Titanic" is $658.67 million, and "Avatar" is $765.5 million!

Hearing Carla Firth's words, Murphy came back and said, "Sony Columbia Pictures is really big."

"Sony Columbia is trying to save itself." Kara Firth knows the situation of the industry very well. "Although spider man has recovered the cost and made some profits, it is far from meeting the expectation of Sony Columbia Pictures. They can only find a way to create other series of brands, otherwise..."

Carla Firth shrugged and shook her head. "This time they've got Roland Emmerich, Channing Tatum and Jamie fox to play together, plus the topical theme of capturing the White House, there's still some hope of success."

Murphy doesn't want to see Sony Columbia succeed, but he is also one of the six major Hollywood companies. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. "They'd better pay to jump off a building."

"It's not easy to win Sony Columbia Pictures." Carla Firth knew Murphy's thoughts for a long time and said in a low voice, "Sony entertainment will not be sold easily."

"I know." Why doesn't Murphy know this and ask, "is Spiderman making a second one?"

"Well." Carla Firth nodded. "It's said that it's already shooting. It's estimated that the summer film will be released next year."

Murphy frowned slightly, "next year's summer vacation..."

If we follow the normal development, Sony Columbia Pictures will kill sister stone's Gwen Stacey in "Spider Man 2", and this series will die, and spider man will encounter the lowest since its birth

And then what? Then Sony Columbia Pictures found Marvel pictures, and little spider was rescued by Marvel Dafa. He appeared in Captain America 3 in an amazing manner. In the scene of primary school students' appointment at the airport, he was startled and his popularity soared.

Sony Columbia Pictures and marvel pictures immediately launched a new series of "Spider Man" with the name of "back" and Tony Stark, the iron man

Although Murphy didn't see the film, he thought with his toes that as long as the quality of the film is above the pass line, the box office will not be bad. Sony Columbia Pictures will take advantage of this to get out of the predicament temporarily, at least for another five or six years or even more."How can Sony Columbia Pictures and marvel pictures not cooperate?"

This can be said to be the key. Murphy needs to think about it carefully and look for the right opportunities. He is very clear about the importance of spider man to the whole marvel. Once Sony Columbia Pictures proposes to let little spider return to the marvel family, marvel is very likely to refuse.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't find any clue, and this kind of thing couldn't be solved in a short time, so he just put it aside for the time being.

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy's publicity work came to an end for the time being. Even though Gail gado was still running around in the Far East, and his family seemed a little lonely, he still hid in the manor, isolating the high wall courtyard and tight security from the media disturbance. In addition to caring about the box office situation of the city of darkness, he paid little attention to the work for the time being, and finally entered the market A short vacation.

"Dark city" has also spent its third weekend in the North American cinema market, and also ushered in a very strong competitor, "Star Trek 2: the dark world." Star Trek "series is one of the most famous sci-fi film series in the world, which has developed for more than 50 years and cultivated a large number of loyal fans.

This box office figure is quite good, but it can't stop "dark city" from winning the third consecutive box office title in North America. In the past three days, dark city cut $22.6 million, $27.5 million and $23.1 million respectively, and continued to lead the North American box office list with $73.2 million.

Such a good reputation, doomed to "dark city" is extremely dazzling existence, even if some people want to ignore.

Looking at the super high score of "dark city" on IMDB website, Christian Franklin frowns. The box office and word-of-mouth of this film are amazing. At most, the box office will completely surpass "Avengers" in the next week, and then go straight to "Titanic" and "Avatar"

But the box office is not what he cares about most. The score of IMDB is that "city of darkness" scores as high as 9.5, which firmly surpasses "Shawshank Redemption" and takes the first place in the top 250!

Christian Franklin is not only a fan of Shawshank Redemption, but also the leader of the discussion group of IMDB.

In their hearts, "Shawshank Redemption" is not a movie, but a belief!

How can Christian Franklin be reconciled to the challenge of faith on the spot? The top 250 of Shawshank's redemption ranked the first place. But at the beginning, he mobilized countless fans to brush countless ultra-low scores for Godfather before grabbing it. Now, how can he give up to such a pure commercial film as dark city in vain?

City of darkness wants to be number one in the top 250. Have you asked the fans of shawshank redemption?
