Chapter 377 "Twilight" Is a Big Hit in North America!
"Daniel! You are amazing!"
"How did you know that Twilight would be so popular after being adapted into a movie!"
"Oh my God, this is just a girl idol book!"
“I didn’t expect American girls to support me so much!”
"Friday's midnight premiere revenue was as high as 7 million. Although ticket sales on Saturday and Sunday suffered an inevitable sharp decline, the opening weekend also grossed 70.6 million. This is really crazy!"
Listening to John's excited words on the phone, Wu Yuan's tone was calm: "Do you believe my vision now?"
“Stephenie Meyer did a beautiful job.
“The Twilight Saga has been on the New York Times best-seller list for more than 150 weeks since its release, and has been awarded Amazon.com’s Best Books of the Past Ten Years, the New York Times Best Novel of the Year, and other awards. Big award.”
"What's more important is that almost all American teenagers, especially girls, have a copy of it. Everyone is proud to have read "Twilight", just like in previous years when "Harry Potter" was in the spotlight."
"It's so crazy." On the other end of the phone, John still couldn't understand: "I really didn't expect that a story about a girl and a handsome and charming vampire man falling in love on a bright meadow could be sold for so much money."
"Why?!"
"Two years ago, "Dragon Rider," which was also adapted from a best-selling fantasy novel for teenagers, failed miserably at the box office. How could "Twilight" succeed?"
Wu Yuan smiled and said seriously: "John, you need to change your perspective, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the times. ׺°"˜˜`"°º×"
"Didn't you realize that times have changed?"
“Female power is on the rise in the North American film industry.”
"Since the end of last year, there have been some big changes on the Hollywood screen, which is mostly occupied by male films."
"'27', 'Mamma Mia', and 'High School Musical 3' are selling like hotcakes and have great stamina."
"The romantic comedy premiere record set by "Sex and the City" in May was 57 million, almost all contributed by women!"
"The weight of female audiences in the film market has already exceeded Hollywood's expectations, and they have huge box office potential that needs to be tapped."
"I believe that smart Hollywood producers have been alerted to this incident and have made a clear change in the direction of new productions."
"The emergence of "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" is an important manifestation of the increasing social status of women, and it also brings the power of women to the extreme."
"Believe me, the box office performance of the first part is just the beginning. The subsequent second and third parts will perform even better at the box office."
"Well, maybe this is one of the reasons. I should seriously think about the weight of female audiences in Hollywood." John sighed, but he still said with some disapproval: "But I think, "Twilight" Half of the credit for the box office performance of "The City" should go to Harry Potter."
"Warner has moved "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" originally scheduled to be released on November 21 to next July. This year's Thanksgiving and Christmas schedule will only leave "The Twilight Saga" as the only fantasy film. , we inherited the Harry Potter effect.
Wu Yuan thought for a while and said with approval: "What you said makes sense. This is also one of the reasons why "Twilight" was such a hit at the box office."
After countless years of hard work on "Harry Potter" and other magical movies following suit, the winter schedule of North American film markets has long been inseparable from magical movies.
North American audiences are used to watching a fantasy-themed movie between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Just like domestic audiences are used to watching comedies during the Lunar New Year.
It seems like something is missing if I don't watch some movies with this theme at this time.
If "Harry Potter" is still around, then "Twilight" will definitely face the still-hot popularity of "Harry Potter" when it is released in three weeks. Not only will the number of viewers be greatly reduced, but the number of theaters showing it will also be reduced. will be ostracized.
At least it will never be able to reach the scale it is today─3419 openings at the same time!
The large premiere range ensures that no matter you are in a big city or a small town, you can watch "The Twilight Saga" simultaneously on Christmas Day--this is undoubtedly an exciting good news for those female viewers who are looking forward to the future. information.
Moreover, these female viewers will also bring their boyfriends or best friends to watch it together, not just contributing a movie ticket!
They will definitely flock to the cinema as soon as possible.
The competitive nature of girls was also taken advantage of by the Light Age here.
Who wants to be the loser who returns to class on Monday morning only to find that he's the only loser who hasn't watched "The Twilight Saga" yet?
Under the influence of these favorable times and places, the box office revenue of "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" was finally achieved.
Its premiere revenue at midnight on Friday was as high as 7 million, and its opening day score reached 36 million. It almost recovered its cost in one day. It took in 70.6 million box office in the first weekend. The current cumulative box office is 1.1, which makes me laugh crazy. .
"Daniel, the production of "New Moon" is about to be put on the schedule. It must be in time for next Christmas. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been adjusted to July next year. We can still stand out next Christmas! "
"Warner Brothers really did a good thing this time!"
"It is foreseeable that Twilight will grow into a new hit series!"
"Perhaps, as you said, this movie will become the Star Wars and Star Trek in the minds of women!"
"This is really crazy, but I like this kind of madness!"
"You don't know that Robert Pattinson has already fascinated those girls on Twitter!"
"He fascinated the girls at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and he is even better in Twilight. Not only did he make the heroine fall in love with him at first sight, but he also made countless fans crazy."
"Whether it is the cute and affectionate puppy in Bolt or the sexy action uncle in 007, they are no match for the cold and handsome vampire with the support of the little girls."
"Damn, why can't I feel his charm? Is it because I'm a man?"
Maybe because John was too excited, he was chattering on the phone, saying whatever he thought of, and he was very talkative.
Wu Yuan can also understand.
The box office result of 70 million US dollars in the first weekend is the best result among the independently produced movies of Guangshidai, even the dark horse IP "The Hangover" cannot compare with it.
John never thought that the movie that broke the company's first weekend box office record would be such a love story between a handsome vampire and an ordinary girl.
This was beyond his understanding, and it also broke his three views after he learned about such a result.
Wu Yuan was very understanding and talked to John for a while, and only ended the call after his emotions were almost calmed down.
Before hanging up the phone, Wu Yuan did not forget to ask John to talk to Warner about the global release of "Twilight".
The original work of "Twilight" is not only very influential in North America, but also in Europe and South America. It is also a best-selling youth book. Especially in Europe, the vampire prince is also very popular.
We can't forget the market in this area.
"What's wrong?" After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei, who was lying naked in Wu Yuan's arms, raised her head and asked.
Just now, they were doing something to promote social harmony, but they were interrupted by a call from John.
"Nothing, the company has sold another movie in North America." Wu Yuan casually threw the phone to the head of the bed, turned over and lifted the quilt, and continued what he had just done.
Although he acted calmly during the call, Wu Yuan was actually quite excited and needed to vent his joy.
"Come on, let's continue, don't worry about John."
"Hmph, be gentle! You pressed my hair~"
After modifying it, I re-uploaded it directly, and blocked the one that was reviewed.
