Chapter 43 - chapter 43 Box-office runner up

Wrong Turn" mainly tells the story of several tourists who accidentally enter the forest and escape from the pursuit of deformed people at an abandoned bend.

At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist played by Joaquin Phoenix appears.

The protagonist, Chris, is a reporter. He received an urgent interview assignment and was required to rush to Raleigh, North Carolina within 3 hours.

"Damn interview mission~!"

It was obvious how much Harris resisted his boss's request to complete the task within three hours.

But there is no way.

It's time to eat!

However, the trip that was supposed to be smooth was disrupted by a traffic accident. A vehicle carrying chemicals overturned, causing a traffic jam on the highway.

"Damn interview, unlucky car accident, today is such a bad day."

In desperation, Chris could only choose a sparsely populated path.

On the other hand, five friends, Jesse, Carly, Scott, Evan and France, drove to the mountains to camp.

Who knew the car would suddenly have a flat tire halfway through the journey?

"The tire burst?" says Lima's character, Jesse.

The other four people had no choice but to wait for the rescue vehicle to arrive.

But.

What they were waiting for was not the arrival of the rescue vehicle, but Chris who was in danger.

"Damn it!"

Harris, who was cursing, also saw Jesse and the others and immediately asked them for help.

"Hey man, you wanna take our car?"

Scott pointed to a car with a flat tire nearby and said, "Do you think it can still run?"

As a last resort, everyone went to nearby places to seek help.

However, he did not expect to walk into the traps set by the deformed ogre.

At the same time, after seeing the beginning of the film, many viewers in the theatre also had a premonition that the following plot would have ups and downs.

"I guess the next plot will be the appearance of the weirdo on the poster." A young audience member whispered to his friend.

"Thompson, just watch your movie and don't disturb me, ok?"

"Sorry. Sorry."

Video continues...

The ogre makes a grand appearance. His hideous face and chilling laughter all reveal that he is the big villain.

This is also true.

As soon as the ogre appeared, he slaughtered one of them.

"No....Frances~!"

When that person got killed, the blood that sprayed out of him drove the people around him crazy.

From this moment on, the style of the film changes dramatically.

The tools kill, devour, and then continue to kill, and humans fight back...

A series of thrilling chase battles unfolded, with climaxes one after another, the ogre's brutal killing of several people, and the bloody shots, which made the audience who love horror movies very excited.

"Marvellous!"

"We should also go camping more often. Of course, it would be even better if we could encounter a perverted ogre."

"Yeah, I'll shoot that damn ogre."

....

Well, it's not the fault of the movie. There are quite a lot of young men and women who love to commit suicide.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they verbally and mentally hope to see the ogre, but if they encounter one, the result will inevitably be hehe~.

Strictly speaking, the movie "Wrong Turn 1", no, the entire "Wrong Turn" series, actually does not have much plot at all. Its highlights are nothing more than the repeated killing, chasing, and fighting between ogres and humans. The constantly appearing blood plasma shots are its best-selling point.

Moreover, in recent years, American horror movies,

Most of them are supernatural and ghost-themed, and simple plasma films are rare.

I have to say that it is quite cunning of Kyle to choose "Wrong Turn 1" as the company's first horror film series.

The movie will end soon!

But the discussion about Wrong Turn has only just begun.

A young white man excitedly said to his friend next to him: "9 points! This is the best blood-thirsty horror movie I have seen in recent years."

"That's right!"

Another person said: "It's better than previous years' Halloween and Scream. I can't wait to watch the second part now."

Another person chimed in: "Why don't we watch it again?"

This suggestion was immediately accepted by everyone.

....

"Ogre? Do such creatures exist?!" asked a brown-haired girl.

Her friend next to her affirmed, "Of course there are! Not to mention that African ogres are real, every year many people go camping in the wild and mysteriously disappear or die. Now it seems that they may have encountered ogres."

Hearing this, the brown-haired girl's face turned pale instantly.

He was so frightened that he couldn't help but throw himself into the arms of his little friend.

"Haha, I said okay. Next time when the second part is released, I will bring her to see it." The little friend's little conspiracy succeeded.

....

A cinema chain in America.

"What?"

"You said that the number of people watching the movie Wrong Turn has increased significantly, right?"

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"What should we do? Of course, we should add extra screenings. According to the old rules, the extra screens will be selected from films with small audiences. It's such a simple thing, I'm sure you can handle it."

"What? You said other film companies are not happy!"

"It's his business if he's not happy about it. Why do we open a cinema? To make money!"

The long-term development of Hollywood has long promoted the development of cinemas, allowing major theatre chains to have their own set of codes of conduct.

As for the screening contracts between theatres and film companies?

Hehe!

The contracts with theatres are flexible to say, after the cinema has given the minimum number of screenings for a film in a certain period, it can make adjustments based on the contract. The principle of adjustment is simpler: if the film can make the cinema more money, then schedule more screenings.

The reason why "Wrong Turn" became more popular as soon as it was released was that when the original film that was released in 2003!

The reason is that there were too few plasma tablets in 1996!

Moreover, many sequels of well-known horror films were not released during this period.

In addition, director M. Night Shyamalan, although a rookie, has extraordinary skills in the field of horror films. In the film, the sharp chase scenes, killing scenes and other aspects, he did much better than the director of the original time and space.

"Haha, can it be the same?"

"Rob Schmidt, the director of the original Wrong Turn movie, is just a common director."

"As for M. Night Shyamalan, he will be a well-known director who will produce many hit films such as The Sixth Sense and After Earth in the future."

"The gap between the two is huge, which also leads to the difference in the final image and quality of the film."

While Kyle sighed, he also had to admit that Shyamalan was indeed talented.

Well, better than myself.

Well, Kyle, who is known as the "genius director with tens of millions at the box office", only shows off himself occasionally. He knows in his heart that his directing skills are not that good.

....

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

"Wrong Turn 1" also ended its first weekend of screenings, with a cumulative three-day box office of up to 12.45 million US dollars, ranking third in this weekend's box office rankings!

Ranking third in the weekend box office is also the best result since the establishment of Page Pictures!
