Chapter 160 First Week Box Office
"Chain Saw" is over, but the audience is in disbelief.

The last reversal was so exciting that many people were shocked and shouted to God!
At first, everyone thought that the doctor and nurse was the murderer, but they didn't expect the murderer to appear in front of everyone at the beginning of the scene, and everyone guessed and guessed, but they didn't expect it to be him.

The reversal of this ending is a surprise and impressive!

After the movie ended, Chen Hao walked out with everyone.

"This movie is different from the average B-movie, except for the plasma, the suspense is well done. It is definitely one of the best horror movies I have ever seen!"

"The murder method in it is also very cool. The screenwriter's brain is absolutely amazing. I really want to see what other novel ideas he has!"

"When the man who was lying on the ground stood up, I was completely shocked!"

……

Chen Hao listened to the audience's comments while walking, and felt that everyone's perception was not bad, which made Chen Hao feel relieved.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Hao logged into IMDB again, wanting to see the audience's ratings.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of movie actors, movies, TV shows, TV stars, and movie productions.

IMDB information includes a lot of information about the film, actors, film length, content introduction, ratings, reviews, etc.

Of course, it is most well-known for its ratings of movies. IMDB ratings are a very important evaluation standard, and film companies, media and audiences are all very concerned about it.

Especially IMDB's Top 250 films, all of which can be selected are classics, and have been widely recognized all over the world.

Chen Hao found his own information in IMDB, it was very simple.

Born in China, 22 years old, graduated from Huaxia Film Academy in 2002, director, screenwriter, producer, works include "Comet", "Moon" and "Saw"!
"Chain Saw" was updated as soon as it was released, and the speed is quite fast!

The three films currently directed by Chen Hao have detailed data in IMDB.

Currently the lowest rating is "Comet", with a rating of 7.1, and the number of people who rated it is relatively small, only 10352 people!
But the score of 7.1 points still makes "Comet" rank among the Top250, ranking 223rd!
Ranked second is "Moon", which has just been painted in North America, with a score of 8.2 and as many as 126521 people!
It can be seen that the influence of "Moon" in North America is far greater than that of "Comet", and the audience's reputation is also very high. This score of 8.2 directly made "Moon" break into the top 250 of Top[-].

Tied for No. 3 with "LA Confidential," "Die Hard," "Heat," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "Raiders of the Lost Ark 56," and "Two Smoking Barrels."
Of course, "Moon" has just been drawn, and the ratings should be lowered in the future, but the final ranking in the top [-] should be very sure!
And Chen Hao's current highest score is "Chain Saw", which has just been released, with a score of 8.5 points!
In other words, Chen Hao's three current films are all among the top 250.

Of course, the number of reviewers for "Chain Saw" is only 363, and this score is obviously not convincing.

Chen Hao also knows that the stable score of "Saw" will definitely not be higher than that of "Moon", but it is still safe to maintain a score of 7 or more.

For "Saw", Chen Hao is more concerned about the box office.

However, the score of 8.5 points at the beginning shows that everyone still likes the movie very much.

Chen Hao also read the comments of American netizens on the movie.

"There is more suspense than horror, and the ending is very unexpected. It is very worth watching!"

"The ending is jaw-dropping!"

"Actually, there is nothing overly perverted and scary in the picture, but the atmosphere is so good that I couldn't bear to look directly at it several times. The ending is really awesome. I haven't been surprised for a long time!"

……

From the audience's comments, it can be seen that everyone has been obsessed with the ending of the movie and was deeply impressed. Obviously, they were indeed surprised, even amazed.

The next day was Friday, and the weekend was the peak time for movie viewing. The three competitors of "Chain Saw" also appeared on this day.

The highest-ranked film is Disney's "Merry Christmas and Crazy", with more than 3000 theaters, and Fox Searchlight's "28 Days Later" has also reached 2500 theaters.

"Gold Medal Spy" and "Chain Saw" are the same 1800.

If you only look at the film schedule, "Merry Christmas and Crazy" and "28 Days Later" undoubtedly dominate, while "Saw" was released one day earlier, which also took advantage.

But the specific result is still unknown for the time being, and the North American box office rankings only count the box office of the three-day weekend!

Chen Hao had no choice but to passively wait for news from Davis.

With nothing to do for a while, Chen Hao could only stay in the hotel and write the script of his second Hollywood movie.

The happy weekend was a bit of a torment for Chen Hao. The box office results of the first weekend of the film will undoubtedly determine the future total box office results of "Saw".

Chen Hao didn't believe that "Saw" would surpass the box office in its first week after it was released for a few weeks like "Titanic".

For a B-level film like "Saw", its final box office can basically be guessed through the first week's box office, so the first weekend's box office is extremely important.

For this reason, Chen Hao couldn't completely calm down when writing the script. At this time, he didn't have a confidante in North America, so he could only swim alone and run to vent his anxiety and exuberant energy.

The time finally passed in the middle of Chen Hao's daily life. Early on Monday morning, Chen Hao received a call from Davis.

"Chen, there is good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Davis's heavy voice came.

When Chen Hao heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be that the box office performance in the first week was poor. He took a deep breath, "Let's tell the bad news first!"

"The bad news is, we lost!" Davis said.

"Why did you lose?" Chen Hao said angrily, "Tell me how much the box office is?"

"Don't worry, Chen, listen to me slowly, hahaha..." Davis obviously couldn't pretend anymore, and laughed out loud.

Chen Hao heard that the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "Tell me quickly, I can't wait!"

"Well, "Chain Saw" won a box office of 1620 million US dollars in the first weekend, ranking third in the North American box office list!" Davis said.

Chen Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, the box office in the first weekend was 1620 million, which far exceeded the final box office of "Moon".

Although "Moon" is better than "Saw" no matter how you look at it, "Saw" is an English film and is more grounded. Of course, it has a lot to do with the filming.
