When Lehman and others started the road show publicity, apart from the joy of fans everywhere, the French media reporters were most pleased with this matter.
They were really happy. They wrote the ”Furious” draft for two or three days in a row. Seeing that everything was written, what should be predicted and what should be blown was also blown. When there is almost no topic to talk about, hehe , Lehman returned home.
So, when a group of them started to promote in various cities in France, they could always see almost the same group of reporters on different occasions and in different places.
They also like to ask all kinds of weird questions. Some Lehman is willing to take care of it, some are not willing.
Another busy day passed, and only in the dead of night, Lehman could watch some of the audience's most true comments on the film.
Turn on the computer, click on the IMDB website, and slide the interface with the mouse.
At the same time that the movie box office was released, the online word-of-mouth ban was also lifted.
”It was shocking to see, thank you the director for bringing us a masterpiece of World War II theme.”
”Several frontal shots of the battlefield were taken very real, and there is an immersive feeling, praise.”
”From ”Buried Alive” to ”Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood” to this ”Furious”, Director Lyman can always bring me a different feeling...”
Of course, some people like it, and there are certainly others who don't.
Lyman is not Franklin, and everyone can't be satisfied with him. What's more, war movies are not the kind that female audiences like.
And some shots are too real, which will make some viewers visually disgusted.
”Some places are too bloody, and the director is too tactful. It's okay to use a virtual lens to describe it from the side. It's too naked, I can't stand it.”
”It's not as good as what you said. I went to see it and it was noisy.”
These comments are acceptable to Lehman. The carrots and vegetables, each has their own love, there is nothing to say...
At the headquarters of Paramount Pictures, Benjamin Casey Winter, chairman of the board of directors, sat in his office chair, with a little emotion, ”The box office of the film reached 34.76 million US dollars in three days. Shirley, you are the founder of Europa Pictures. The decision to cooperate and invest resources to promote ”Furious” is very correct.”
Although there is only a smile on her face, anyone can tell that Shirley Lansing is in a good mood. Sunday's box office results came out, although she was listed in the North American weekly box office rankings this week by competitors ”007: ”Death Another Day” gave a slight pressure, but the topical gimmick brought by the hype of the ”Bond” and ”Bond Girl” romance cannot be ignored. I have to say that MGM is indeed a good move.
But as the enthusiasm of their respective hard-core supporters was consumed in the first week, the next thing to compete is definitely the reputation of the audience. As for publicity and lace news, the effect will only become smaller and smaller.
Compared with word-of-mouth, Shirley Lansing has reason to believe that the next week's ”Furious” will overtake ”007: Die Another Day”.
After all, the gap between the two is really not that big. In North America alone, the difference is only 3.12 million US dollars, which means that the first week of ”007: Die Another Day” box office was 37.88 million US dollars.
The most important thing is that although the word-of-mouth of the two films has declined with the time of the show, the magnitude of ”Furious” is smaller.
”The next thing I want to talk about is the issue of theaters, Shirley, tell CAA to put pressure on the major theaters together and strive for the scale of the film.
Benjamin Casey Winter said with a smile.
”I will personally contact their executives to come out and meet.”
With these words of Shirley Lansing, the chairman of the board of directors naturally no longer worried. The box office numbers of ”Furious” are here. The theaters can't give up the profits, and he doesn't want to be crushed on the screen. Opponent ”007: Die Another Day”, as long as they can be consistent with the opponent next week...
Running propaganda was really tiring, the schedule was rushed, and even a big man like Lehman couldn't stand it, let alone a delicate woman like Eva Green.
So, after only one day, she was sent home by Lehman, and the rest continued to insist.
After all, tired is a little tired, but the results are also very good.
They know very well that their movie ”Furious” is harvesting the box office of the film market every day. If they can increase a little bit of market share on the basis of the day before, then their action is worthwhile.
As a result, their propaganda proved useful.
There is nothing more direct than data feedback, and the market is responding to them.
Therefore, the group is painful and happy.
Sitting in the car, preparing to head to the next event location, Lehman suddenly felt that his previous worries were unnecessary. Once the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies was turned on, the box office was the same as a number, only seeing it increasing.
In France, the first week's box office champion's throne is naturally ”Fury”, which won the competition with 30.42 million US dollars to beat the 27.89 million US dollars in ”007: Die Another Day”.
