Chapter 25 - Upsurge

The box office on the first day was quickly delivered to Laila, with an average attendance rate of 20%, and the highest single hall had a box office revenue of more than $20,000.

This is not a good result, but if it is not divided into theaters, the movie will be able to pay back on this day alone, which is a great encouragement to Louise, who has been hanging on. According to the contract, they can also show for one week, as long as the attendance rate of the second week does not fall, maybe they can negotiate more.

When she said what she was thinking, Laila waved her hand gently.

"Don't worry, Louise. This is just the beginning." At this point, she didn't have the eagerness to seek cinema screenings at the beginning.

Wanting more open talk screens is actually her obsession, a regret left in her heart. After all, the only film she produced in her previous life was so badly evaluated that she subconsciously wanted to use more screens to prove herself.

But when the movie was released, the obsession disappeared. What about driving more? Anyway, a miracle must be born from one's own hands, so let the miracle come harder!

And as she expected, the attendance rate of the screening the next day reached an incredible 80%.

Louise's first reaction when she saw the news was whether it was a mistake? What is the concept of 80%? That's the rhythm of the fire!

Before she could adapt to the good news, the third day had an unprecedented 95% attendance rate, and it was still an average attendance rate. Some remote places were not full, but some well-located theaters began to line up.

So the theater owners couldn't sit still, and watched other people's houses line up in long lines. It was hard to find a ticket, but their theater didn't even have a 50% attendance rate? That's really unbearable!

Louise did a good job in the selection and arrangement of screening theaters. It does not matter if there are not enough screening theaters. She will arrange one in larger cities, and this witch trend has spread throughout the United States in the shortest time. Even some neighboring countries know it.

Laila sat in the office and watched the report in the 'Entertainer'. The corners of her lips had not fallen from the beginning.

Anthony is very good at planning. The film screening here just caused a small whirlwind, and his side has already been exaggerated in the newspaper into a storm. Coupled with a few spectators waiting to buy tickets at the entrance of the cinema, as well as interviews with people watching the movie, things about witches and mysterious videos spread out like a real virus without resistance.

Although Laila knew this would happen for a long time, she couldn't hold back her joy when it happened. It's a pity that no one can share the joy at this time with her. The company is all in a mess. The call to sign up for the extended screening almost blows up all the calls in the company.

"We have already taken up more than 700 theater screens and will expand the screenings from the second week." Louise reported to Laila with joy. Having been in the company for more than ten or twenty years, it was the first time that I was not asking my grandpa to tell my grandma to show, but was asked by those above,the top theater owners to ask for cooperation.

"Only more than 700?" Laila frowned.

Only... Louise was speechless for her words. This has set the company's highest record, okay? And she was also very worried that the money they copied was quite a large number, and if the heat in front of them dissipated quickly, all the money they made would be poured in.

"I think it's better for us to be more stable, and the money for copying is also a lot, it is better to reduce it..."

Laila interrupted her with a smile before she finished saying "Louis, I know what you are worried about, but I have confidence in our work, and believe that this will not be the final result. In short, try to make as many copies as you need, and win as many theaters as you sign. I believe that we will become a miracle maker . "

"Well, I know. "bosses have made a decision, what can she say.

In surprise and fright, the number of screening theaters in the second week reached 1,255, and after the end of the week, they scored 15.89 million US dollars in box office results!

Everyone who gets the news is going crazy, knowing that the production cost of this movie is not even 100,000! More than 15 million, my God, how much money they can get!

But that is far from over, because the topicality continues to heat up, and the box office is also singing all the way, and the attendance rate has fallen by not expanding the screening. Such incredible results caused more people to call Phoenix, asking for continued expansion.

In the third week of the legend, there were 2,674 theaters showing!

"The movie-watching boom-miraculous movies", the Entertainment Daily reported the phenomenon of countless people rushing to watch the Blaire witch. They first described the previous missing person notices and disappearance cases, and then used very vague methods to downplay the true and false of the witch, instead focusing more on the relationship between the two.

It is one of the top ten newspapers in the United States in terms of sales. After a series of follow-up reports, the entire United States knows that a mysterious video from a missing student is being shown in theaters. The result is that more people rush to the theaters, and more people buy newspapers wanting to know how things are going next.

Of course, there are not no discerning people. Major production companies and directors, as well as some related professionals, have all seen the odds. What is missing? What witch? It's basically a marketing technique, OK? In order to attract the audience into the cinema, I really figured out any way!

But why didn't they think of such a great idea? Had they figured it out earlier, would this miraculous screening craze be theirs?

Another week passed, everyone who followed the Witch's box office was dumbfounded. With $35.21 million, Blair the Witch is firmly standing at the top of the weekly box office rankings in North America!

It was also thanks to Laila and Louise choosing a good time, there were no notable big productions and good films before and after, so that they won such a record-breaking box office that made the entire company into a jubilant.

However, just as everyone was rejoicing, a film review signed by Cooper appeared in the "News of the World".

"A shameful scam!"

"I watched the supposedly terrible documentary "Blair the Witch" on the recommendation of a friend. Then I finally know why so many people think it is terrible, because it is indeed terrible, terribly boring! How boring to be Will you go to the cinema to watch a movie that doesn't know the so-called groaning?"

"The director wanted to give the audience a stronger sense of enthusiasm by making people want to vomit, but she obviously failed. It is impossible to concentrate on the plot, but it takes a lot of effort to stop the feeling of vomiting."
