Hollywood Starts with Animation

Three days in the first weekend, $12.45 million at the box office?

"Okay, I see, you will send me the information later, um, that's it." Zucker hung up the phone.

At this moment, Zu Ke was half lying on the bed of his villa. Hearing that "Deadly Bend" had a good box office, he couldn't help feeling very good.

While lying on the bed next to him, the naked Jessica Chastain asked, "Is it the box office results of the first weekend of "Deadly Bend"?"

"That's right."

Zhu Ke nodded and said, "The three-day box office totaled $12.45 million, second only to Peak's "Bad Man" and Touchstone's "Exorcist", ranking third in this weekend's box office charts."

Hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are so many!"

"Oh, of course."

Zucker was instantly triumphant.

The first weekend box office results of "Deadly Bend" indeed exceeded Zucker's expectations.

Before the movie was released, Victor, Zucker and others judged that the box office for the first weekend and three days was between $6 million and $7 million.

However, since audiences have long been tired of watching supernatural and exorcism horror movies, it is of course fresh for a fine blood plasma horror movie to appear by chance; secondly, most of the movies released this weekend are bad movies, so the audience naturally The choice of "Fatal Curve", thanks to this, the theater also adjusted the film arrangement and expanded the screening of "Fatal Curve".

Otherwise, with only more than 800 screens, how could it be possible to harvest more than 10 million box office in three days on the first weekend?

"According to your words, it seems that the movie's rating is not bad?" Jessica asked.

Zucker nodded and said, "That's right. The film currently has a 7.5 on IMDB; 81% on Popcorn; 83% on Rotten Tomatoes."

"That's a really good start. Even if the rating will drop after a while, it will not be lower than 7 points." Jessica Xiume showed off.

"Sure, you don't even look at who wrote the script?!"

For a moment, Zhu Ke froze.

Regardless of the future results, thanks to the box office performance of "Deadly Bend", Zucker can add the title of "genius screenwriter" to his name in the future.

In the "Deadly Bend" series, in the original time and space, except for the first film with a score of 6.5, none of the subsequent series of films has a score of more than 6 points, and one is lower than the other.

But you, who cares?

As long as the movie makes money, the series will go on and on!

After all, "Deadly Bend" is a low-cost series, and even if the highest cost of a single film in the future will not exceed $5 million, why can't it keep shooting?

"Oh, by the way, Jessica, the "Juno" movie will be closed soon, what are your plans next?" Zucker asked.

Intend?

Jessica's current choices are nothing more than two!

or continue to be an actor;

Or go back to school.

Jessica Chastain mused: "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Hearing the words, Zu Ke said: "So, anyway, "Juno" has not been released yet, you have time to continue to think about it. However, I still recommend that you become an actor, you should find an acting school to learn acting skills, this is absolutely There's no harm."

"Okay, I'll think about it." Jessica nodded.

I have to say that Jessica Chastain got off to a smooth start because of the film "Juno", and she started much higher than her in the original time and space.

In the original time and space, after graduating from college in 1998, at the suggestion of a friend, she chose the art school Juilliard School to study acting. After that, in 2004, she got a small supporting role with lines. film and television road;

Even until 2011,

Only with the film "The Tree of Life" became famous.

That year, although she was still bright and beautiful, she was also 34 years old.

The age of 34 is no big deal for Hollywood men, and most of them are at their peak.

However, the age of 34 is not very friendly to women.

Playing a young heroine seems a little old;

Playing a role like a mother seems too young;

Therefore, even after Jessica Chastain became famous, she was in a very awkward situation in Hollywood.

So in the next few years, she frantically accepted invitations and made movies frantically. At her peak, she even participated in as many as 8 films in a short period of one year in 2015.

Its "model worker sister" name also comes from this.

She is praised for her hard work, but the truth is cruel.

She has no good choices!

Just a few years at its peak!

"Since you have chosen to go to bed with me in this life, whether it's out of love or an exchange of interests, I must make you famous as soon as possible." Zucker looked at Jessica and thought.

"what?"

Suddenly, a name popped up in Zucker's mind.

- Ellen Page!

"Damn it! I seem to have ruined Ellen Page in advance with my slapstick operation."

Can't help but Zucker thinks otherwise.

It's really because the two films "Hard Candy" and "Juno" are both Ellen Page's famous works. Now that Zucker has filmed and released them ahead of time, isn't Ellen Page ruined?

For a moment, Zucker pouted.

Of course, Zucker was relieved quickly.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished!

Besides, I don't know her, so if I grab it, I will grab it.

Can you say robbing about the transmigrators?

Hehe~!

At the moment, Zhu Ke, who was then released, once again looked at the naked Jessica.

"Dear, now that you are awake, let's do some exercise."

Please call me Athlete Zucker.

......

After a few days.

"Deadly Bend" benefited from a good reputation, and even on weekdays, it also received a good box office.

On Monday, it made $2.15 million at the box office;

Tuesday, $2.03 million at the box office;

Wednesday, $1.78 million at the box office;

Thursday, $1.42 million at the box office;

Three days later the following weekend, it reported another $6 million.

"Deadly Curve" has been released for ten days, and the cumulative box office is 25.83 million US dollars!

Of course, because the movie is a horror movie, its inherent disadvantage is still unavoidable, that is, the box office will drop rapidly. The final box office of the film is between 30 million and 32 million US dollars. But even so, Zucker's Wald Pictures is making a lot of money!

Low cost!

......

at the same time.

Time Warner's overseas distribution division, inside Richard Kidman's office.

Richard Kidman looked at the young assistant and couldn't help laughing: "Reid, see the box office of "Deadly Bend" for ten days."

"Yes, boss. As you might expect, Wald Pictures is a movie company with unlimited potential." Reid exclaimed.

He couldn't help but sigh, it's really because his boss is too powerful.

A few months ago, they brazenly took action and paid $2 million for the overseas copyright of "Fruit Hard Candy" at a price hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than the market price, and contacted Wald Pictures one step ahead.

Richard Kidman continued: "So we can't just look at the present, we have to take a long-term view. Well, well, you don't have to sigh, wait a moment and you will contact Wald Pictures to try to win "Deadly" The overseas copyright of "The Bend"."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

A big company is a big company, and the routine is still so refreshing!

Then inadvertently deepened the connection between the two companies, and as time passed, the small company became more entangled with the big company, and was finally acquired by the big company.

It is impossible to guard against it!

Of course, Zucker didn't care at all, after all, who let himself hang up!
