After entering the new millennium, the film industry has developed at a rapid pace.

Even the sale of movie tickets has special channels for collection.

So generally speaking, box office statistics on the first day of release will be available in the afternoon of the next day, or even earlier.

After all, the current theater data calculations are all based on the Internet system. When you sell a ticket, it is recorded, which is extremely convenient and fast.

...

In the living room of a hotel, Lyman hung up the phone and walked around the living room twice before suppressing the chaotic mood in his heart, and the joy on his face was gradually replaced by calmness.

Because the first-day screening results for the 21 theaters had already been released, George personally went to the Paramount Pictures headquarters in the morning to inquire about it, and he had just called back to inform him.

The data obtained by Paramount Pictures is that it received more than 25,000 box office on the first day.

The 21 theaters are all open all night. "Three Idiots" only occupies one of the theaters for screening. The average number of seats is 500. There were three screenings in one day yesterday, and the first round of the movie

The ticket price is US$6 a ticket, and the box office is more than 25,000, which means that the average attendance rate of "3 Idiots in Bollywood" in these theaters has reached about 20%.

This result is not bad, no wonder George even congratulated him on the phone.

Lyman soon told Ryan and Thomas the results of the box office statistics. Ryan smiled and said, "I think when the expansion starts, we will definitely make a profit this time."

"Ha, that's for sure." Thomas also smiled.

Just when Paramount Pictures was considering whether to expand its screenings next week, the box office results of "3 Idiots in Bollywood" on the second day surprised everyone again, with 21 theaters

The average attendance at online screenings actually continued to rise, reaching 32%. The box office on the second day also received more than US$76,000.

The cumulative box office in the past two days has exceeded 100,000 US dollars. According to this trend, Paramount Pictures' expansion plan will be implemented without exception. This is also the inevitable law of the market. No one wants to live with easy profits.

As long as the film's reputation is guaranteed, the box office is likely to continue to increase during the weekend screenings. In this way, the box office of a single theater in the first week will never be less than 10,000 US dollars.

Then, it will be time to significantly increase the screening scale of "Three Idiots" in Bollywood...

However, it still depends on the reputation of the film. The publicity investment like this is limited and it is still an art-oriented project. Word-of-mouth reputation is very important.

Since there are only 21 theaters for screenings, Paramount Pictures also hired a research and consulting company to go to the theaters to do data statistics. Audience reputation cannot be truly reflected in the media and newspapers, nor can it be compared with the reviews of film critics.

There is sometimes a huge gap in evaluation.

In North America, there is actually a company like RE that specializes in market ratings and predicting box office trends, but Paramount Pictures cannot rely on such a large company to pay attention to small-scale projects.

Similar movies are released every week in North America, and most of them are three-day tours in theaters. Who will pay attention to them?

Moreover, it does not cost much to hire an investigation and consulting company to conduct on-site investigation work. Paramount Pictures is completely willing to do this and can provide the most effective data analysis for the screening plan.

Los Angeles Sunset Strip.

The entrance to a cinema.

A movie fan recalled the plot of the movie he had just watched and called his good friend Amway, "This movie is really great... Yes, it's the one called "Three Idiots".

.....It's quite shocking...You will know it after you have seen it yourself...That's it, hang up."

Putting down the phone, he rubbed his brows and eyes gently, seeming to be a little immersed in it, "It's such a good video, it's a pity to miss it. I want to tell more people."

With some thoughts and praise, he left the theater.

In an independent theater in Venice, Los Angeles, a white girl was stopped by someone as soon as she walked out of the theater. When the person asked her about "Three Idiots in Bollywood," he said angrily: "I think the director is too bad.

, Lan Che, such an outstanding person, did not get a good ending, and his subsequent story was not told! There is also the part where the senior committed suicide, couldn't he be rescued! Just like Laga."

People passed by one after another, and they were all talking about the movie.

"What are the names of the director and screenwriter?"

"Lyman Rust and Ryan Garcia." The person on the side reminded.

"Yes, it's these two guys."

"The movie was shot really well." Someone agreed.

"I seem to have an impression of the director's name. Was he the one who filmed the previous film "Buried Alive"? I'll know if I go back and look at the creative team list at the back of the video tape."

Another person replied: "It's him. I read it in the newspaper yesterday."

"Wow, then he is pretty good. I like both of the movies he made."

"I didn't like Buried Alive, but I think this one is pretty good."

"What a talent..."

There was a commotion, followed by the footsteps, and then disappeared.

After watching the movie and having dinner outside, Bella returned home, poured a glass of water, sat down for a rest, and came to the computer.

Since the Sundance Film Festival, she has been paying attention to the director named "Lyman Rust".

So, when the movie was shown in theaters, she went to the theater to contribute a movie ticket, which could be regarded as her own meager support.

In the past, the scene in the exhibition hall where everyone applauded and stood to pay tribute is still fresh in my memory.

It's easy to get applause, but how many directors can truly satisfy the audience?

After turning on the computer and connecting to the Internet, Bella skillfully opened imdb, and after a simple search, she found the section for director Lehmann.

As early as after "Buried Alive" was released, the other party had his own imdb number, but at that time his exclusive section was deserted, except for a few sentences introducing the director's personal information and the name of the movie "Buried Alive" and imdb

Outside of the link, there is nothing else at all.

However, Bella discovered something different this time. Not only did "Three Idiots" appear in the list of works under his name, but several people actually left messages in the discussion group.

"Is anyone there? Wow, it's so deserted. I didn't expect that I was the first to leave a message. Who is the director Lyman Rust? Why is there not even a personal picture on imdb? Is it so perfunctory? But this director's

I like the work very much. After watching the movie in the morning, I still have some inexplicable emotions in my heart that I want to vent. Well, also, is there an official imdb official or any kind person willing to add a photo of him? "

This was a message left around 1:00 yesterday afternoon. At 15:20, someone else left another footprint.

"fuck!xxxxxx"

A series of curse words came roaring out, and the words in many places were even blocked by the website, but it was not a good thing to think about.

This person seemed very angry and kept complaining, "Where is that trash director named Lyman Rust now? Why did he make a movie like this? Do you know that my girlfriend is here?"

After watching it, I cried for a long time, and I’m still in a bad mood. I’m really angry because he ruined my carefully planned date.”

Many people left messages behind it, as if they were outraged.

"If you don't succeed today, will there be tomorrow? Don't you think you only have one day to live? Huh? If you have such a bad mouth, you will end up sooner or later."

But the man replied, "You son of a bitch, how can you talk? What do I do to you? What does it have to do with you?"

Another person left a message: "Listening to this, it seems that you haven't watched this movie, only your girlfriend has."

The man responded, "What's wrong? I had something to take care of in the morning, and she went to the theater alone. We originally planned to go play together in the afternoon, but we finally waited until a holiday, and ended up being delayed. It's all because of this guy called Lyman.

- The director of Rust, my girlfriend refuses to go out now, saying she is not in the mood. Oh my God, when she called me on the phone in the morning, she was still happy and agreed to my request."

The person who left the message before was speechless, "Well, what do you say? I suggest you watch this movie. Maybe you can find out the reason why your girlfriend is in a bad mood. Maybe you can find a solution."

The man replied, "Thanks, man, I'm going to see what's in that movie, and I'll tell you about the battle when I get back."

"how's it going?"

"Where is he? He hasn't come back yet?"

Further down, someone else left a similar message, and everyone wanted to know what happened to this person.

After scrolling through the news at around 7pm, the person updated the message, "This movie is really good. I have never seen this type of movie before. It was the first time I watched it, and I was touched. I am a little bit confused now."

I understand my girlfriend’s mood. She is very sensitive and can understand this story better than me. After reading it, I also thought, why are there always so many constraints in this world? A good person like Lan Che can still break free.

No..."

Seeing this, Bella stopped reading.

Although many people have left messages, overall, there is still a lack of attention.

She pulled up the webpage, and the avatar next to the name Lyman Rust was still blank. What did this director look like? She knew that he was a very ordinary person. His appearance was far from handsome, but he was not ugly either.

And the most important thing is his talent, which is so eye-catching.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a photo of this guy, so she can't help the confusion of the fans who want to know what he looks like.

The reputation is so small that even the official imdb will not notice it.
