Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1640 Victory?fail?
In Lin Daoqiu's view, "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" got a box office of 800 million on the first day, and the guys at Paramount will definitely be very happy.

And completely different from what he expected, Barry Diller kept frowning after learning the box office of "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" on the first day.

"The pre-sale situation on the third and fourth days is not ideal, only between [-]% and [-]%. According to past experience, the attendance rate will probably remain at around [-]%."

Jeffrey Katzenberg has some concerns about the attendance rate of "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" next.

Because after the box office was released on the first day, combined with the word-of-mouth given by the audience who have watched the show, it seems that this show has no possibility of a big hit.

""Star Trek" has been filmed three times before, and the audience group interested in this drama has already been fixed, and it is unlikely that it will suddenly attract a large number of audiences."

In fact, this time it was also due to the convenience of the Christmas schedule that the drama "Star Trek" received a very high degree of attention.

In addition, the number of screens vacated by MGM's withdrawal from the ACC theaters was added to "Star Trek", which made this movie get such a good score.

"Tell me about the final box office forecast for this drama."

Barry Diller wanted to hear his staff's predictions for Star Trek.

"5000 million..."

"8000 million..."

Everyone's predictions for the movie "Star Trek" did not exceed [-] million at the box office.

Except for the North American market, the acceptance of this type of film in other regions is not high.

In the previous life, "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" earned a box office of 900 million US dollars in North America, and the total global box office was only 300 million US dollars.

It can be said that the big head of this drama is in the North American market, and the acceptance of "Star Trek" in other regions is still very low.

Compared with the films released by Paramount this year, "Top Gun" has a box office of 7000 million in North America, and the total global box office has reached 5000 million US dollars.

The same is true for "Crocodile Dundee", which earned 7000 million U.S. dollars in North America. The global box office is slightly lower than "Top Gun", but it is still nearly 3000 million U.S. dollars.

Originally, Paramount did not attach great importance to the film "Star Trek", but because of Lin Daoqiu's sudden withdrawal, ACC had to give Paramount the number of vacant screens.

This led everyone to mistakenly believe that Paramount has high expectations for "Star Trek", otherwise how could it be possible to allocate 8000 yuan to the screen for this show.

"It doesn't matter. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for Lin Daoqiu's two dramas to exceed [-] million yuan. We will still be the final winners."

What Barry Diller meant actually meant that he could win the two films made by Lin Daoqiu.

As long as "Star Trek" can get a box office of more than 5000 million, in Barry Diller's view, it is enough to beat Lin Daoqiu.

As for the income of this movie, Barry Diller no longer thinks about it, the worst is to make less money, anyway, as long as it doesn't lose money.

It's just that although Barry Diller is open-minded, the situation on the ACC theater line is not optimistic.

If "Star Trek" can maintain an [-]% attendance rate in the first week, Chris Wolfe can accept it.

But if the attendance rate is lower than [-]%, there may be a lot of noise on the board of directors, especially since Joel Lopez has reported the MGM matter to the board of directors.

Now those guys on the board of directors have begun to feel dissatisfied with themselves. The reason why they haven't attacked themselves is because nothing happened now.

If this year's Christmas schedule, ACC's income is greatly reduced due to his relationship, Chris Wolf will definitely be blamed by those guys.

At this time, the situation that worries Chris Wolff has already begun to happen, or there are already signs.

"The pre-sale of "Star Trek" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is not ideal. At the highest, only [-]% of the tickets were sold, and at the lowest, even [-]% of the tickets were not sold."

Chris Wolf's face sank when he heard the news, and he could tell at a glance that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

"It doesn't matter, the pre-sale is just a reference. Most of the audience are still used to buying tickets at the scene, and the final result will not be known until the day."

After saying this, Chris Wolff himself felt ridiculous. If the pre-sale situation is hot, it can prove that the supply of this drama is in short supply.

But if the pre-sale situation is poor, it can also confirm that "Star Trek" has not attracted enough audiences.

Naturally, the secretary didn't dare to contradict Kristoff, he could say whatever he liked, and just listen to it himself.

Although Chris Wolff is looking forward to it in his heart, "Star Trek" can be a box office hit like the first day.

But unfortunately, the good luck of "Star Trek" only lasted for three days including the premiere.

On the fourth day, "Star Trek" began to decline slightly. Although the box office had accumulated more than 700 million US dollars, on the fourth day, the attendance rate had dropped to [-]%.

We must know that Christmas is coming soon, and it stands to reason that the theaters should be full at this time, how could the attendance rate be getting lower and lower.

On the other side, the two films released by MGM, "Rush Hour" and "Living by Dawn", the attendance rate of these two films has remained high.

"Life of Dawn" has always been sold out, and even the pre-sale situation is very ideal, almost 3000% of the time, and the box office has already broken through [-] million US dollars.

"Rush Hour" was a little bit worse, falling from a full sell-out to 2000% at the beginning, but the four-day box office still broke through [-] million U.S. dollars.

But even so, most people still believe that "Star Trek 4: Save the Future" will eventually become the champion of this year's Christmas schedule.

After all, it is most likely to surpass its "Life of Dawn". So far, the gap with "Star Trek" has been pulled from 1000 million on the first day to 700 million.

Even Richardson believes that it is almost impossible for MGM to win against Paramount this year.

But he didn't feel pessimistic, because in Richardson's view, after MGM negotiates the theater line next year, Paramount will never have a chance to win against MGM.

It's not just Richardson who has such an idea, almost everyone in MGM thinks this way, but it doesn't include Lin Daoqiu.

Just when everyone thought that this year's Christmas schedule should be settled, the release of a movie brought a lot of changes to this Christmas schedule battle.
