231 Chapter 231 The Tendency of Taking Off (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
October 10 is a very good time.
After all, it is not a battleground for military strategists like Christmas files and summer files. There will be no major productions by big companies if they choose to be released in October.
At the same time, the ones that could compete head-on with ”Chain Saw” were all similar small production films.
For example, Miramax’s ”Kill Bill”, another masterpiece by the geek director Quentin; for example, Bowei Pictures’ ”The Legend of the Bear”, okay, let’s skip it, it’s a cartoon , The audience does not stand up at all.
There is also ”Mystic River” by Warner Pictures, directed by Clint Eastwood, which is also his 24th work, starring Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, but , Is the line of literary and artistic awards, theoretically it does not pose any threat.
With this calculation, it seems that only ”Kill Bill” needs attention.
that's the truth.
On the evening of October 11, in an office in the AMC headquarters office building, Braden-Wyatt was listening to the director's report.
As the largest chain theater chain in the United States, AMC's film schedule and the arrangement of screening theaters are almost all arranged based on detailed real-time market data.
”Boss, Miramax’s ”Kill Bill” has started the first round of screenings. According to the aggregated data, the theater has the highest attendance rate of 80%, and the average attendance rate of the entire theater is in 100%. Of 56.”
”Is it not bad?” Braden Wyatt laughed: ”The average attendance rate is more than half, which has reached the screening expectations.”
”Their publicity is done well, and Quentin's sign is still loud, so there was such a good attendance on the first day of the show. If the word of mouth can be achieved, it is estimated to increase in the future. Boss, I suggest tomorrow Add a few more theaters and replay their films to further expand the market capacity.” The supervisor suggested.
”Don't worry, wait a minute,” Braden-Wyatt asked. ”Where is Paramount? The ”Chain Saw” that they pushed also premiered yesterday, right? How is this film going?”
Main channel: ”The data hasn't been aggregated yet. The people below are still calculating. I will ask them to get the call here later.”
In the office, both of them waited silently for news.At the same time, not only AMC cinemas are doing this, but other large and small chain cinemas are also doing a new round of market research.
You must know that screening is also a business, and timely adjustments, arranging theaters based on real-time feedback, and squeezing the most profitable profit are the most basic operations of each theater.
They are not philanthropists. Of course, whoever makes money will show more movies.
”Jingle Bell......”
The phone rang, and the supervisor abruptly stood up from the sofa, answered the phone, and asked, ”How's it going? How is the theater line?”
”Director Charles, the several theaters in New York are almost full.”
”Full?”
”Yes, the attendance rate is above 90%. The directors of the theaters hope that we can add a few more shows to give ”Chain Saw” more film volume.”
Two minutes later, another phone called: ”Director Charles, the Los Angeles theaters requested additional screenings. Fans are still waiting in line for the show, hoping to add a theater.”
”Director Charles, there is news from the Chicago theater asking for additional screenings.”
