Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Fire



The premiere of "Goblin Slayer" can be said to be very successful, which can be seen from the excited fans who walked out of the theater.

Then, starting from the next day, major entertainment newspapers in North America began to promote "Goblin Slayer".

Goblin Slayer has been showered with praises such as the best R-rated movie, a classic not to be missed during the summer, etc.

Influenced by these publicity, the average attendance of Goblin Slayer over the three days of the weekend reached over 80%.

In fact, this is inevitable. After all, compared with such a large-scale publicity, the number of screens showing "Goblin Slayer" can be said to be pitifully small.

Only 50 screens in 35 theaters across the United States (Seven Nights later requested 20 more) were showing Goblin Slayer, but the audiences who were interested in the film were far more than just these few.

This situation where tickets are hard to come by has made "Goblin Slayer" extremely popular.

In particular, the IMAX theater in AMC Cinemas, as the only theater currently showing the IMAX version of "Goblin Slayer", has seen a rare phenomenon of scalpers reselling its movie tickets.

Although the IMAX version of "Goblin Slayer" can be said to be extremely bad, compared with the carefully produced IMAX versions of later generations, Nanaya's work is not even worthy of being mentioned.

Nowadays, what matters is that things are valuable because they are rare.

As one fan commented online, "It's well worth spending $20 to see those oppai that are literally as big as mountains."

So, with the help of some ticket scalpers, the original $20 movie ticket immediately rose to $50, and even then there were still many people scrambling to get it.

Now all the traders in North America are going crazy. Where can they find investment projects with a return rate of over 100% these days?

As a result, the speculators became even crazier for IMAX tickets, with ticket prices trending from $50 towards $100.

Some viewers couldn't help but be curious and grabbed a ticket for "Goblin Slayer" in the regular theater to find out more.

After he came out of the screening room, he immediately bought a $65 IMAX scalper ticket from a scalper.

I can only say that men all over the world have the same character.

Of course, what's even crazier is IMAX. The popularity of "Goblin Slayer" was beyond their expectations.

Looking at the IMAX movie tickets for the popular "Goblin Slayer", IMAX executives were in tears.

After so many years, I finally got this opportunity!

You have to know that the rise of IMAX movies began with "Avatar" in 2010, but IMAX technology had been developed long before that, and even the company had been listed for some years.

However, due to the complexity of the shooting technology, IMAX technology has been isolated from the mainstream and can only be played in places such as science and technology museums and planetariums.

IMAX is well aware that if it wants to further develop the company, it will not work just by showing science and education films in museums.

But it is an indisputable fact that its own equipment is not currently suitable for shooting commercial films, so IMAX has been trying to improve its equipment.

But Nanaya's "Goblin Slayer" told them that they don't have to stick to IMAX special productions, ordinary movies can also promote IMAX technology.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the movie itself must be popular, and it doesn't matter if it's a bad movie.

Faced with such a result, the entire IMAX company was greatly encouraged. They even envisioned using "Goblin Slayer" to pave the way for their company's theaters to be spread across the United States and even the world.

So IMAX took the initiative to find Nanaya, hoping that he would agree to release more IMAX movie copies as soon as possible.

"But..." Nanaya said with difficulty, "Our original agreement only covered the screen of AMC Cinema..."

The Mediterranean uncle from IMAX immediately responded: "It doesn't matter. All the employees of IMAX would like to deepen the cooperation with excellent works of excellent directors like Director Kiryu."

"That's not what I said when I first found your company. This is a low-quality work that is immoral and corrupt..."

Nanaya said with some grievance.

However, Shion, who was sitting next to Nanaya, could clearly feel that Nanaya's whole body was trembling slightly at this moment - this guy was trying not to laugh.

[This guy is really good at pretending. ]

Shion couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, the Mediterranean uncle sitting opposite the two of them had no idea. He thought Nanaya was still blaming them for their previous arrogant attitude.

"It's different. Director Kiryu's work is a commercial blockbuster like The Lord of the Rings. How can it be confused with those cheesy independent films from Europe?"

The Mediterranean uncle immediately responded righteously, but in his heart he was also constantly complaining that the people in his company had not been reliable before.

When Nanaya first found IMAX, the company really looked down upon Goblin Slayer.

Our IMAX technology is a great technology, how can we broadcast such immoral images? !

Not to mention, not only did this movie not use IMAX cameras, it didn't even have the idea of producing IMAX's special 12.0-channel sound system (Nanaya thought the price was too expensive).

At that time, IMAX was on top, but now it is their turn to beg Nanaya.

After all, they can't make copies on their own without the producer's approval.

"We will provide the corresponding technical support so that the IMAX version of Director Kiryu's film will have 12.0 channels, making it even more perfect."

The Mediterranean uncle smiled flatteringly and said that the technical support for the screen was definitely too late, but 12.0 channels could still be achieved.

After hearing this, Nanaya crossed his arms and said in embarrassment: "But the post-production budget for Goblin Slayer has been spent."

[Are you kidding me?! ]

If this uncle hasn't realized that Nanaya is taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him, then he has lived in vain for so many years.

But the situation is stronger than people now. You know, there are several IMAX theaters in North America waiting to show movies.

So the uncle could only smile bitterly and said: "Our company will help Director Kiryu produce a 12.0 channel version for free."

"Oh, how can I feel so embarrassed about that?"

Although Nanaya's words were polite, his actions were not polite at all.

"It's settled then."

"About the copy..."

Nanaya smiled like an angel: "When will your company complete the 12.0 channel version and start large-scale copying?"

"OK..."

The uncle had no choice but to accept Nanaya's conditions.

Even though IMAX's words sound nice, they won't let go until they take real action.

If IMAX delays the production of the 12.0-channel version on the grounds of increasing the number of copies, Nanaya will suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, "Goblin Slayer" is still in the hunger marketing stage, and Nanaya does not want to release too many IMAX copies so quickly.

Compared with the anxious IMAX, other North American cinema chains are not so anxious, but they are also relatively weak. After seeing the popularity of "Goblin Slayer", they also asked to expand the number of screens for movies.

On Friday, June 28, "Goblin Slayer" earned 131,000 at the box office.

The next day, Saturday the 29th, the box office of "Goblin Slayer" jumped directly to 265,600 US dollars.

By Sunday, the 30th, the single-day box office had reached 294,500 US dollars.

Don't underestimate this number; it doesn't even make it onto the weekly box office rankings.

But everyone knows that there is only one reason that limits the box office of "Goblin Slayer" - there are too few screens.

Moreover, this is only the box office sales of the cinema itself, and the additional box office sales of scalpers that cannot be counted are not included.

Although he gnashed his teeth at those profiteers, after deciding to use hunger marketing, Nanaya knew that profiteers were simply unavoidable.

What Nanaya can do is to expand the scale of screening as quickly as possible and increase the supply of movie tickets for "Goblin Slayer".

So in the second week, Seven Nights expanded the screening of "Goblin Slayer" to 500 theaters and 743 screens.

However, this amount of screenings is still a drop in the bucket for the hungry North American audiences.

In the following week, "Goblin Slayer" had an average daily box office of over 2 million U.S. dollars, and earned 12.4 million in three days over the weekend.

In the end, "Goblin Slayer" made it into the top three of the North American weekly chart with a weekly box office of 20.88 million, just one step away from the top of the list.

But many people know that this is just the beginning.

In the third week, Jiufeng and Lin Bao secured nearly 3,000 screens in 2,000 cinemas, which is a 3A-level masterpiece for a movie.

However, the box office performance of "Goblin Slayer" did live up to expectations.

Because it is still summer vacation, bored college students from all over North America went to the cinema to watch this movie, which the media called "the R-rated among the R-rated."

When it comes to seeking thrills and danger, few groups can surpass North American college students.

The movie "Goblin Slayer", which combines the two elements of violence and pornography, really suits the tastes of these young people.

Especially those audiences who have a special liking for blood-thirsty films, they watched "Goblin Slayer" over and over again.

"The Lord of the Rings is for women only. Real men should watch Goblin Slayer!"

As this sentence became a hot topic on the Internet, "Goblin Slayer" became the champion of the North American box office chart in the second week of July with a box office of 82.92 million in its third week of release.

"Goblin Slayer" is really popular.
