$12.45 million at the box office in the first three days of the weekend?
"Okay, I got it. Please send me the information later. That's it." Kyle hung up the phone.
At this moment, Kyle was half lying on the bed in his villa. Hearing that "Wrong Turn" had a good box office performance, his mood became very good.
Jessica Chastain, who was also lying naked on the bed, asked, "Are the first weekend box office results of Wrong Turn announced?"
"That's right."
Kyle nodded and said, "The cumulative box office in three days is 12.45 million US dollars, second only to Summit's "The Bad Man" and Touchstone's "The Exorcist", ranking third in this weekend's box office rankings."
Hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but exclaim: "There are so many!"
"Haha, of course."
Kyle was immediately elated.
The first weekend box office performance of "Wrong Turn" indeed exceeded Kyle's expectations.
Before the movie was released, Victor, Kyle and others estimated that the box office for the first three days of the weekend would be between 6 and 7 million US dollars.
However, since the audiences have long been tired of watching supernatural and exorcism horror films, the occasional appearance of a high-quality blood-based horror film certainly feels fresh; secondly, most of the movies released this weekend are bad movies, so the audiences naturally chose "Wrong Turn". Thanks to this, the theatres also adjusted their screening schedules and expanded the number of screenings of "Wrong Turn".
Otherwise, how could it be possible to rake in more than 10 million in box office revenue in the first three days of the weekend with just over 800 screens?
"From what you said, it seems that the movie's rating is pretty good?" Jessica asked.
Kyle nodded and said, "That's right. The film currently has a score of 7.5 on IMDB, a popcorn index of 81%, and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness index of 83%."
"That's a really good start. Even if the score drops after a while, it won't be lower than 7 points." Jessica showed her beauty.
"Of course, don't you see who wrote the script?!"
For a moment, Kyle was very proud.
Regardless of the future results, thanks to the box office performance of "Wrong Turn", Kyle can now add the title of "genius screenwriter" to his name.
In the "Wrong Turn" series, except for the first film which had a score of 6.5 in the original time and space, none of the subsequent films in the series scored more than 6 points, and the scores of each one were lower than the previous one.
But you, who cares?
As long as the movie makes money, the series will continue!
After all, "Wrong Turn" is a low-budget series, and even the highest cost of a single film in the future will not exceed 5 million US dollars. In this case, why can't we keep filming it?
"Oh, by the way, Jessica, the filming of the movie "Juno" will be completed soon. What are your plans next?" asked Kyle.
Intend?
Jessica currently has only two choices!
Either continue to be an actor;
Or go back to school.
Jessica Chastain groaned, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Hearing this, Kyle said, "Well, Juno hasn't been released yet anyway, so you have time to think about it. However, I still suggest that if you want to be an actor, you should find a performing arts school and study acting. There is no harm in that."
"Okay, I'll think about it." Jessica nodded.
It has to be said that Jessica Chastain had a smooth start with the movie "Juno", which gave her a much higher starting point than she would have in the original time and space.
In the original time and space, she graduated from college in 1998, and then, at the suggestion of a friend, she chose the Juilliard School of Art to study acting. After that, it was not until 2004 that she got a small supporting role with lines, and started her road to film and television.
It was not until 2011 that
He became famous with the movie "The Tree of Life".
That year, although she was still glamorous and beautiful, she was already 34 years old.
The age of 34 is not a big deal for Hollywood men, and most of them are at their peak.
However, 34 years old is not very friendly to women.
Playing a young heroine, she seemed a little too old;
She looks too young to play a role like a mother;
Therefore, even after becoming famous, Jessica Chastain was in a very embarrassing situation in Hollywood.
So in the following years, she accepted invitations and made movies like crazy. At her peak, she starred in as many as 8 films in just one year in 2015.
Her title of "Model Worker Sister" also comes from this.
They say she works hard, but the truth is cruel.
She has no good choices!
It's only a few years of peak period!
"Since you have chosen to sleep with me in this life, whether it is out of love or exchange of interests, I must make you famous sooner." Kyle thought as he looked at Jessica.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a name popped up in Kyle's mind.
——Ellen Page!
"Oh shit! My crazy actions seem to have brought down Ellen Page in advance."
Kyle couldn't help but think so.
The reason is that the two films "Hard Candy" and "Juno" are both Ellen Page's famous works. Now Kyle has filmed and released them ahead of schedule, so wouldn't Ellen Page be ruined?
For a moment, Kyle curled his lips.
Of course, Kyler soon felt relieved.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Besides, I don't know her, so I can just rob her.
Can you say that it is robbery that involves time travellers?
Haha~!
At that moment, Kyle, who had been released, looked at the naked Jessica again.
"Honey, now that you're awake, let's do some exercise."
Please call me Sportsman Kyle.
....
A few days later.
Thanks to its good word of mouth, "Wrong Turn" achieved good box office even on weekdays.
On Monday, it grossed $2.15 million;
On Tuesday, the box office was $2.03 million;
On Wednesday, the box office was $1.78 million;
On Thursday, the box office was $1.42 million;
Over the next three days of the weekend, it closed at $6 million again.
"Wrong Turn" has been released for ten days and the cumulative box office is 25.83 million US dollars!
Of course, because the film is a horror film, its inherent disadvantage is still unavoidable, that is, the box office will fall rapidly. The final box office of the film fell between 30 million and 32 million US dollars. But even so, Kyle's Page Pictures also made a lot of money!
The cost is low!
....
At the same time.
Richard Kidman's office is in Time Warner's overseas distribution department.
Richard Kidman looked at his young assistant and couldn't help but smile: "Rhett, have you seen the box office of Wrong Turn after ten days of release?"
"Yes, boss. As you expected, Page Pictures is a film company with unlimited potential." Red exclaimed.
He couldn't help but sigh that his boss was just too awesome.
A few months ago, they took a bold move and paid $2 million, hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than the market price, to acquire the overseas copyright of "Hard Candy", and contacted Page Pictures one step ahead of time.
Richard Kidman continued, "So we can't just look at the present, we have to look further ahead. Well, okay, you don't have to sigh anymore, you can contact Page Pictures later and try to get the overseas rights to Wrong Turn."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Big companies are big companies, and their routines are still as refreshing as ever!
Then, the connection between the two companies was inadvertently deepened, and as time went by, the smaller company became more entangled with the larger one and was eventually acquired by the larger company.
It's hard to guard against!
Of course, Kyle didn't care at all. After all, it was his fault for cheating!
