Chapter 084

The turning point of many things in the world often comes from some small things.

After a week of struggling to deal with it, although he has successfully turned the direction of public opinion into a pool of muddy water, Simon knows that the clarification to be made on NBC's "Tonight Show" is impossible for him to completely get rid of the doubt, and it still needs time to dilute this matter.

However, the sudden appearance of the video on ABC turned the whole thing around completely.

Previous questions have focused on Simon's professional abilities in photography, editing, and music. But after watching that video, as long as people with a little independent thinking ability no longer doubt Simon's personal skills in music.

It's obvious that Simon, a guitarist who has almost made his debut, can't finish the soundtrack of a movie.

Since Simon can complete the soundtrack, he can also complete photography and editing, which should be easier for ordinary people. So, is there any doubt about the final production of "Lola Run"?

Of course, doubt will not be so easy to stop.

It was soon pointed out that in the video broadcast by ABC, Janet Johnston and Katherine Bigelow were obviously present, and Simon westero used a rare version of Gibson's guitar, which should be worth about $1000.

These details are enough to prove that the video is likely to have just been shot recently, rather than the performance image of Simon westero in Venice Beach before his rise.

It's obvious.

A penniless poor boy, where comes an expensive brand guitar to sell!

It can be inferred that Simon westero's "wild bee dance" should have been studied only recently, just to cope with the current situation. Of course, the boy may have some talent in guitar, but he still can't prove anything.

However, doubts in this respect have been slapped in the face every minute.

The local media in Los Angeles conducted a survey directly on Venice Beach, and the original tourists naturally disappeared, but many stall owners around them were impressed by Simon's little miracle last year.

Later, the Spanish old man, who runs the hotel, appeared in an interview program of Los Angeles Local TV station with his own wooden guitar. He described the whole story in detail, patted his chest and firmly defended Simon.

New Monday, in the expectation of many people, Simon officially guest "Tonight Show" program.

As the trend of the media has changed, Simon's trump talk show on NBC shows a series of evidence such as handwritten scripts, sub shot sketches and even Simon's own work notes in the production process of "Lola Run". The events that have been going on for a week have basically come to an end.

Originally, Simon thought that as long as he could successfully get rid of this public opinion storm, it would be good.

But everyone didn't expect that ABC's videotape might have aroused a lot of popularity again. Except for the rumor that the sales of guitars in all musical instrument stores in North America had increased significantly during this period, the box office of "Lola Run" had unexpected changes again in the following week.

Since "Lola Run" was launched on a large scale last week, according to the usual box office curve of most films, the box office of the film in the fifth week should show a certain decline. Influenced by the storm of doubt, Orion even predicted that the decline of "Lola Run" this week is likely to reach more than 30%.

However, the reality is that from March 13 to March 15, three days on the weekend, compared with the same period last week, the box office of "Lola Run" not only did not fall, but also rebounded by about 6%, with another $19650000.

That's not the end of it.

Finally, in the whole week from March 13 to March 19, the overall box office of "Lola Run" went further down, reaching about 10%, and the box office of a single week also reached a new high of $28.16 million.

As a result, the total box office of "Lola Run" reached 85.87 million dollars in five weeks.

Next.

It's not what everyone expected, it's obviously what they expected.

In the sixth week, with another weekend and three days of box office revenue of $16.35 million, the cumulative box office officially broke through the $100 million mark, reaching $102.22 million.

Due to the limitation of market scale and distribution mode, there are only a few films in the 1980s, at least before 1987, which can achieve the box office of over 100 million in six weeks.

According to Orion's original prediction, even in the best case, "Lola Run" will need a whole week in the sixth week to break the billion yuan club, and the most likely is to enter the billion yuan club in the seventh week.

But the fact is that "Lola Run" only took five and a half weeks to achieve this goal.

What's more, it's not the most important thing for "Lola Run" to break the box office by 100 million yuan ahead of time. Since its release, anyone knows that it's easy for the film to achieve this goal at the box office.however.

Hollywood originally expected the total box office of "Lola Run" in North America to be only between $150 million and $200 million.

But now, after a storm of public opinion, the popularity of "Lola Run" has begun to dissipate again, and the box office decline has slowed down significantly.

In the fifth week, the box office curve, which should have fallen, suddenly changed its trend, and there was an abnormal reverse decline, but the result was the overall rise of the box office curve.

As a result, a new estimate was made and many people were surprised to find that. Five and a half weeks later, the final box office potential of "Lola Run" has obviously exceeded the $200 million limit.

As for how much can be achieved in the end, too many people are not willing to predict.

However, some people want to avoid the reality, but many good media have directly compared the box office trend of "Lola Run" in the past few years, which is the North American box office champion "back to the future" in 1985.

The blockbuster sci-fi film directed by Robert zemigis also broke through the box office in the sixth week. However, "back to the future" only got $100.92 million after the sixth week, barely breaking the $100 million threshold.

But just like this, the final North American box office of "back to the future" has reached 210 million US dollars.

So.

Look at "Lola Run" again, how many can there be?!

Considering the box office potential of the film, some people in some offices deep in Hollywood who just made small moves to curb the box office of the film even had a strong regret.

Originally wanted to suppress the box office of "Lola Run", but let the film across a more miraculous threshold.
