In fact, under normal circumstances, before the release of American movies, there would be a small free trial screening.
Then, based on the reviews given by the audience, the box office of the movie would be judged.
And if there was anything that needed to be improved.
And these test screenings would often invite professional film critics.
This was because they still needed these film critics to help promote the movie.
However, these Hollywood film critics were no different from those big V's in Su Cheng's previous life.
They were all paid to do things.
At most, they had a little more moral integrity than those verified accounts.
He wouldn't lie through his teeth.
However, film reviews were very subjective.
Therefore, even if they 'beautified' it a little, no one could say anything about them.
Or they might not praise the movies of the big film companies, but they could catch the movies of the small film companies and independent film companies.
Spit to death!
But Su Cheng naturally wouldn't. He invited those film critics to promote him.
Firstly, there was no need.
Secondly, who knew what kind of relationship the film critics he invited had with the other film companies!
It would be bad if he was cheated!
But most importantly, Su Cheng was very confident in his movie!
Therefore, they even canceled the test screening!
The next morning, the midnight box office earnings of Saw 1 were out!
It was exactly 3 million meters!
It couldn't be helped. Today's technology wasn't advanced enough.
Although there was internet between the cinemas, the speed of calculating the box office was still not that fast.
In addition to the work efficiency of the Americans.
Therefore, it was already very good to be able to calculate the box office of the midnight show early in the morning!
And what did a midnight box office of three million dollars mean?
Let's put it this way, Saw 1 was 100 minutes long.
Including the cleaning time of the cinema, it would take about two hours to play one round.
According to the calculation of the movie theater opening at 10 am, there were 14 hours in a day, and seven rounds could be played.
If the midnight show was included, it would be eight rounds.
Therefore, the midnight screening's box office earnings of three million dollars was equivalent to the box office earnings of three million dollars for the first round of screening.
Theoretically, if he played eight rounds a day, he could reach 24 million meters!
Of course, this was only in theory.
As the midnight screening was actually the second most popular time slot, the box office was much higher than the morning and afternoon ones.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the box office for the entire day was only about four to six times that of the midnight screening.
That was roughly between 12 million meters and 18 million meters!
In addition, this was a normal situation. If the movie's reputation was ruined, then the 12 million box office earnings might not even be reached!
If word of mouth exploded, it was not impossible for the box office to exceed 18 million meters!
Therefore, the next step was to see the movie's reputation!
But no matter what, for the midnight show to be able to get three million dollars at the box office, this result was definitely not bad!
In fact, it was the highest box office of all the R-rated films so far!
Not to mention that this " Saw 1 " only cost 3 million dollars!
Even if their reputation was completely ruined, they could still recoup their costs on the first day!
After all, he only needed to earn a mere 6 million meters of box office sales to recover the cost!
But who asked him to still have that bet?
It could be said that as long as the local box office of this movie did not exceed 100 million dollars!
Unless Su Cheng went back on his word, he would definitely suffer a loss no matter what!
The only difference was the loss!
Moreover, Su Cheng's own request was definitely not just to recover the cost!
At the same time, on the major movie rating websites in the United States.
And on all the major online platforms.
All the viewers who had watched the midnight screening of the movie were also very active in expressing their opinions and comments.
This was because the popularity of Saw 1 was too high!
And the Americans loved to show off!
So, of course, they wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity!
This was also why the midnight box office earnings of Saw 1 were so high!
Because if he was late, he would not have the chance to perform!
"Oh my god, this movie is too scary!”
"This movie is really amazing!"
"This is an art film, a real art film!”
"A movie that turns a horror film into an art film can actually be more terrifying than an ordinary horror film. I have to say that I've been completely conquered by the director of this movie!”
"This new boss of Naifei was once the most famous actor and director in China. I haven't seen his previous movies, so I don't know how good his acting skills are. But in terms of directing skills, he's definitely the best director I've ever seen! Also, where can I see the other movies of this boss?”
"Now I know why he was able to film three movies in China that had box office sales of more than 100 million dollars. This boss of Naifei is indeed talented!”
"Perhaps the most important thing for Naifei to do now is to quickly sell their boss's other movies. I think I'll definitely be willing to spend money to buy them!”
"Needless to say, this is definitely an extremely exciting movie. If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn't be a problem for it to break the previous R-rated box office record!”
"100 million local box office earnings? I think the box office earnings of this movie can still be higher!”
"It's really hard to believe that someone could produce such a wonderful movie in half a month, and the cost was only three million dollars! But this boss of Naifei really did it…"
"Blow up this movie. Although I was scared half to death in the cinema, I still want to watch it again!”
"I really hope that this movie will be taken off the screen soon so that I can buy the disc of this movie!”
"Yes, I've also prepared to collect the disc of this movie, even though I rarely did so in the past…"
