David picked up the phone and explained to everyone the identity of the visitor with his mouth.

Hey Brent, I know how much I look forward to your call.

David, is that right? I think I'm right about your expectations. The seventy-two major theaters in the Regal Los Angeles area will all be showing My Big Fat Greek Wedding. We'll be preparing for the movie tomorrow. 130 screens.

...It's really shocking good news, yes, there is no problem, we are already ready to go. No, your news came very timely.

Stared at by everyone, David couldn't hide the joy on his face, Brent said that regal will be in 72 movie theaters—

Bell~bell~bell...

Pick up the phone first.

David had to stop talking and pick up the phone.

Haven?...Okay, thank you very much. Of course, we believe that everyone will be the winner.

This time, David had just hung up the phone when it rang, and there might have been more than one call.

Caesar,...you will be proud of today's decision, yes, don't doubt it.

Seeing that David hung up the phone again, Daniel leaned back on the chair, There is no need to panic this time, David can tell us slowly.

Regal, 72 movie theaters, 130 screens, also 70 movie theaters, 110 screens, 31 movie theaters in Sunnymark, gave us 50 screens.

Ferguson was on the sidelines using his poor math to figure out how many screens The Greek Wedding ended up taking.

The three theaters offered 290 screens, which accounted for more than a quarter of their total screens. In addition, the number finally negotiated by ** theaters was 260, although the proportion was a little lower than the three major theaters. But the total of 550 yuan is far more than DD's original plan.

So far, the early publicity has been a complete success.

Everyone cheered for a while in the DD office, and then hurriedly contacted the staff of the three major theaters to lay out the materials and prepare for the zero-point screening. The time is too short, but fortunately, we are fully prepared, and there is nothing we can do if we are a little short.

There are not many people from all parties who got the news at the same time as DD,

Because there are a lot of people who pay attention to them, the seven major film studios, Dimens Gate, Lions Gate, New Line, Miramax and other famous studios that have or have nothing to do with the giants, as well as cable TV networks such as CBS and CBS... Also includes Carmike Cinemas in the Los Angeles area.

In almost the same time, he got Daniel's record.

550? Are you crazy?

Boss, this is the final data. The film schedule has been sent to the cinema. You know, if the plan doesn't go ahead at this time, it will be a business accident. Matthew Fox's assistant lowered his head, a flash of light flashed in his eyes to mock. He is a young man who loves the Internet, and he also has a girlfriend who loves Daniel-this is actually standard among young men in Los Angeles. So he understood how powerful the attention Greek Wedding got, but unfortunately, no one in Carmichael dared to talk to Matthew.

Matthew was silent for a while. What was the number we gave them before?

Of course, it is impossible for Carmike not to give him a screen. This is a ban and commercial discrimination. When other movie theaters have plans, you don’t give them at all. Of course, this is an improper business practice. The Greek Wedding film crew can sue them, so he gave the numbers and specific theaters to DD very early.

The assistant hesitated a little. But he didn't dare not say anything under Matthew's dark eyes.

...Uh, sir, it should be 12 yuan, 4 movie theaters.

should?

Yes, confirmed, I confirm the number. This is conveyed by me personally.

The assistant suddenly realized Matthew's plan. He obviously planned to blame himself when something went wrong. The young assistant almost wanted to jump up and beat Matthew. But this is a person with a bit of ability, he held back, and did not lose any expression.

Okay, very good. Matthew seemed to suddenly think of something, Oh. By the way, is the signed copy of the schedule I gave you for next week still with you? I remember it was usually mail Notify the following.

Ah? Do you need it? But I have already sent it to the shredder? Didn't you ask you to personally sign the document? If you don't need a backup, you must send it to shred immediately?

Really? Matthew nodded knowingly, Yes, yes, you did a good job, okay, then you can go to work first.

Seeing the assistant turn and close the door, Matthew narrowed his eyes.

Not necessarily. Maybe the popularity of Greek Wedding is just an illusion. How can anything on the Internet be accurate? They are all played by children with little pocket money. By that time, regal and they will have to pay for today's sloppy The price has been paid.

Thinking about it, Matthew almost saw himself in high spirits in front of all other theater managers.

It has to be said that his self-comforting skills are quite powerful.

But Tom Hanks and his wife were completely different from him. Apart from being shocked, what they felt was of course excitement. The 550-screen screening scale in the Los Angeles area is the treatment of a luxury blockbuster. The so-called luxury blockbuster is a blockbuster with a box office aiming at 200 million. Of course, they don't think that The Greek Wedding has this potential, but they only aim at 50 million or so. 80 million, the return on investment is quite high.

Most of the other parties were also surprised.

It’s just that some people have a longer-term view, especially for companies that have blockbuster movies released this year and next. The coverage is actually quite extensive.

Among them are closely related to Daniel, New Line Films' The Two Towers and next year's The Return of the King. The Lord of the Rings fans have grown into a series group that can touch the knees of Star Wars fans. The movies, and they all belong to the movies that Daniel starred in, can also take advantage of Daniel's influence on the Internet.

There are also those that have little to do with Daniel, the second part of Universal's Fast and Furious and the third part of American Pie are not inferior. Time Warner is even more so. The Matrix and Terminator are huge hit IPs, and there is quite a lot of room for manipulation. Fox also has a second installment in the X-Men series.

As for Disney, there aren’t any hits in the series that can be overestimated, but the magical adventure style of “Pirates of the Caribbean” can also be considered in this direction.

Count a little. We know how strongly the seven days plan has shaken Hollywood this time.

To some extent, this also directly led to the fact that there was very little resistance from strong peers throughout the release process of The Greek Wedding. Everyone seems to want to see how much this strategy has an impact on the audience.

On August 2, Greek Wedding was released on 550 screens in the Los Angeles area, and movie fans in other regions are eagerly waiting.

The temporary staff recruited by DD Films has exceeded the original number of employees. There was an endless stream of phone calls from major theaters and movie theaters across the United States, and everyone was so busy that the soles of their feet were smoking. Throat hoarse. But this kind of busyness also means that the attention and box office potential of Greek Wedding in the United States is enjoyed by everyone-because the box office is directly linked to the bonus.

Daniel is still leading the propaganda team to fight on the front line of the network.

The five additional young assistants now have three phones each, and two emails.

The United States currently has professional companies that specialize in box office accumulation, and these companies are generally allowed to access the ticketing system to obtain actual box office figures. However, different theater lines and different movie theaters may choose completely different companies, and there are always dozens of companies engaged in this business.

In the preliminary work, Daniel has already contacted the other party. On the first day, he will pay an extra fee so that the other party will send the accumulated box office every two hours by email in time.

However, the coverage of these counting companies is not 100%. So Daniel also prepared three telephones. They will try their best to communicate directly with the movie theaters that have not been accumulated in order to obtain their box office information. It is the central theater, some of which are too small and in the corners are not in the ranks this time.

August 2 at two o'clock in the morning.

Many people are already sleeping. But there are still night owls hanging out on the Internet, which naturally includes some followers of the official account of Greek Wedding.

For example, Jenny, the administrator of LAH and a big fan of Daniel, she recently worked the night shift on the forum, so she slept very late at night. Wandering aimlessly online is actually pretty boring, so she refreshes her watchlist every now and then. But in fact, I didn't expect to be able to brush anything.

At this time, 95% of MB's more than five million users are sleeping.

However, after a random refresh, a new record appeared on the top of her personal interface.

Wow.

Jenny's spirit was stimulated a bit.

is the official account of Greek Wedding.

#Box Office Live# My Big Greek Wedding was released at zero o'clock, and the box office grossed 190,000 US dollars within two hours.

A short message, accompanied by a picture of a heart-shaped photo collection made from photos taken by everyone.

Jenny felt a little touched inside, yes. She also went to take pictures, but unfortunately all the posters she found were taken by more than three people. But in any case, this is the first time that she has participated in a film activity with such enthusiasm, and it is an idol starring.

There are not many people replying and reposting, and there are few active people at this time.

Jenny forwarded a message to her homepage.

Come on, let's explode, Daniel.

Another two hours passed slowly, and Jenny clicked on the MB website again and checked the time. It was more than a minute before four o'clock.

There shouldn't be any updates. No one is going to watch movies at this time, and the movie theaters are not open.

While thinking about it, he refreshed it without giving up.

Seeing the new record, Jenny cheered softly from the bottom of her heart. She felt that this update made this boring night duty all of a sudden interesting.

The description and picture are the same, but the number has been changed to 200,000!

Sure enough, it only increased by 10,000, maybe it was just an adjustment of the previous number. Jenny began to worry about The Greek Wedding. Maybe I wake up tomorrow and go to a movie instead of waiting a few days later.

She has been engaged in website management for a long time, and she is keenly aware that the number of comments and reposts of this record has increased compared with the previous one.

Almost all words of worry, prayer, and blessing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
