Chapter 688

Novelty seeking is a public mentality. For Western movie audiences in the United States, they do not lack such people. The movie "the shock of the chainsaw" just meets the curiosity of these people.

A morbid and crazy murderer;

All kinds of weird and horrible ways of killing people;

A meaningful central theme;

And so on, these together constitute a barbaric and bloody horror film, it will greatly stimulate the audience's senses, let some of the audience produce "disgusting", "unacceptable" and other states, but this is the effect of horror film.

The more disgusting and bloody they are, the more they like it!

"I think it's OK."

A young man named Archie left a message on the forum immediately after watching the film: "I don't think the film is too much. On the contrary, I think it's more than enough. Horror film, no bloody scenes, is that still called horror film? What's more, as far as I know, after the movie was finished, the rating given by the American Film Association was NC-17, and Wald film cut a lot of scenes before it got the R rating. "

"My God

"I'd love to see a lot of cuts!"

More than 2000 people like this message, which shows how popular the movie is.

Clip deletion?

This word has a fatal attraction for many movie audiences.

People, that's it.

The more things you ban, the more interested they are.

"The deleted content is so wonderful. I'm eager to see the deleted content!"

This is a message from a lot of people.

The official work of Wald pictures is not tardy at all, which is not timely updated on the official website: "we solemnly promise that the DVD version of the movie will provide the deleted content."

There are many limitations in the cinema version

But for offline DVD version, there are not many restrictions. As a result, not surprisingly, Wald pictures will once again make a profit in offline DVD sales.

......

Wald 1 shooting base.

The set of the film the day after tomorrow.

Zucker sits behind the director's monitor, chatting with Roland Emmerich during the break.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald. I just saw the report that your movie" electric saw "won the North American box office title this weekend with $22.5 million in the first weekend Emmerich laughs.

Smell speech, Zhu Ke smiles to put to wave a hand: "this can calculate good only."

Emmerich: "that's not bad? Mr. Wald, if you are heard by other film companies, they will have to die of shame. My God, don't forget that the production cost of this movie is only over a million dollars. What else do you want? "

I have to say that this kind of compliment made Zhuke very helpful.

"Roland, I'm going to get James Wen out of the show for a week." Chuck said suddenly.

"Eh?"

Emmerich was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded and said, "is it because of the promotion of the movie" the shock of the chainsaw "

"Of course!"

Zucker nodded: "at the beginning, the company's box office position for the movie was $12 million in North America, but now? Good guy, the box office of the first weekend alone exceeded US $22.5 million in three days, and the results were better than we expected, so now of course we need to increase publicity. "

What can Emmerich say?

Naturally, he agreed!

Roland Emmerich is the director of the film the day after tomorrow, and James Wyn is the deputy director of the film, but the power of the whole crew is in the hands of Zucker. As a matter of fact, it's just a matter of one word for Jack to leave the crew and go outside to promote "the shock of the chainsaw". It doesn't need the consent of director Emmerich at all.

Zucker asked him... To give him respect.

......

A few days later.

As Wald film increased its publicity efforts for the movie "electric saw", the main creators, including its director James Wen, appeared on TV programs and constantly appeared in North America.

All of these make the box office of the film on the rise.

After the box office results of $22.5 million in the first three days of the first weekend, the box office results of $3.7 million, $3.3 million, $2.9 million and $2.75 million were respectively achieved in the next few days.

In the whole week, the cumulative box office of the movie reached 35.15 million US dollars in North America!

It's no better than spider man's box office bomb of more than $110 million in the first three days of the first weekend;

It's not as angry as Marvel's superhero movies;

It's not as good as the 3D movie storm brought by avatar;

......

It can be said that there are too many excellent movies produced by Hollywood that are better than the movie "electric saw".

But!

With a production cost of more than one million US dollars, a film that can achieve more than 35 million US dollars in box office in a short period of one week is absolutely rare and extremely amazing!

"Chainsaw" can be called a box office miracle!

At least, many horror movie lovers love it;

At least, Wald has gone mad;

At least, the peers envied it soon, after the trough teeth bite bleeding;

"When it was painted, how many box office results could it achieve?"

——This is the topic that many people are paying attention to recently.

A senior executive of Nielsen, a well-known data analysis company, said: "I've subsidized how much box office" chainsaw scream "will eventually get, which may be 50 million dollars, 80 million dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. But I have to say that in the April schedule, it is not without competitors

"It's up to scorpion king, its rival, to see if the movie can go any further."

you 're right.

Today is another Friday.

Well, on April 17, the movie "King Scorpion" created by universal pictures, which is known as "Mummy: prequel", will be officially launched in 2460 cinemas in North America today.

James Jakes, producer of Universal Pictures, said in an interview with the media: "we are not afraid of the chainsaw. It should be Wald pictures who should be afraid and worried. Don't forget, our movie is the prequel of mummy. We have a huge fan base, which is enough for us to win all our opponents! "

The voice fell.

Many media reporters nodded and agreed.

They admit that "chainsaw" is an excellent horror movie, but you have to understand that the audience of this part of the movie is small, far less than the magic blockbuster "Scorpion King".

The box office ceiling of horror movies is so obvious!

Universal Pictures and Wald pictures are bound to fight for the box office.

Similarly, just two days after the release date of Scorpion King, the movie omen, which was released on April 19, was produced by Touchstone Pictures and released by Disney group.

This means that in the next few weeks, the three film companies will be in a hot situation.

Whether the box office of "electric saw" can go further depends entirely on whether Wald pictures can resist the attack of the other two companies.

The second watch is on.
