“How many are there?”

Although he grew up and his personality changed a lot, Scarlett Johansson was curious after all, "Is it an astronomical number?"

Duke looked at her and shook his head, "Dear, this is just an early game."

The early stage was only screened in more than 2,800 theaters in North America. Even if the IMA theaters are all super large theaters, how high can the box office be?

After getting the fax file, Tinafe walked towards this side and said, "$18.87 million, this is the highest box office figure in North America since the game was in advance."

Hearing this number, Duke breathed a sigh of relief. So much publicity and marketing work was not in vain.

Scarlett came to Tinafe, looked at the fax document, and said, "It says that as of midnight, the imdb score is still 10."

"Um."

Duke nodded, but didn't care much. Imdb users are either navy soldiers or relatively senior movie fans. This kind of video is undoubtedly very popular with the latter's appetite.

Standing up, Duke reminded the two people, "It's getting late, go and have a rest. I'll go back to Los Angeles tomorrow."

The long dark night has just begun, and for many theaters, tonight is a sleepless night.

The major theaters in the United States are crowded with people, and the attendance rate of theaters for "The Dark Knight" is close to two-thirds, while the 125 IMA theaters are all full, and there are grand scenes that IMA has never seen before since entering Hollywood.

However, IMA has been prepared for it. First, they are confident in Duke, and second, their crazy publicity has also increased their confidence.

A few days ago, IMA decided to start adding "The Dark Knight" screenings at 6 a.m. on Friday morning.

In North America, when popular films are released, in order to maximize profits, theaters often schedule screenings at "abnormal" times. Early and midnight shows have now become the tradition of summer box office blockbusters.

Nowadays, the popularity of online ticket sales models has made it possible that movie tickets will be sold out in advance. In order to welcome the upcoming "Batman" boom, in addition to IMA, there are more than 2,500 theaters in the United States that only start business after 10 a.m. on weekdays and welcome the first batch of guests from 6 a.m.

And the number of customers is quite large.

"I'm here to see Heath Ledger's clown."

"This is Duke's video, of course I have to watch it."

“Imdb’s rating is 10. Isn’t such a video worth watching?”

Those who walked into the theater early in the morning had their own reasons, but they bought tickets to support "The Dark Knight".

Of course, just like Kyle and Ella, when leaving the theater, a small group of viewers were not very satisfied.

Kristen is a market investigator at emasore, whose surveys differ from imdb and rotten tomatoes. It relies more on face-to-face communication with the audience, and the data they produce are often more realistic.

It can be said that this is also a major reason why major companies value emasore scores more and do not pay much attention to imdb and rotten tomatoes at all.

It was early one morning on Friday and rushed to the IMA theater in Nokia Plaza. Christine complained, who would get up at five or six in the morning to work?

Damn "Dark Knight" Damn Duke Rosenberg Why are you so popular? It attracts so many people to go to the theater and also lets the theater open the morning screenings

Although he was full of complaints, Christine would not bring too much of this emotion into his work. He walked into this IMA theater. After looking at the watch, he was still a while before the show ended. After making a phone call, he walked to the theater's manager's room in a familiar way.

"Hi Jason, I'm here again."

Knocking at the door and entering the manager's room, Christine sat opposite the desk and asked, "Have you woke up yet?"

The middle-aged man named Jason tried hard to open his eyes and said, "I worked until 3 am last night and got up at 5:30 this morning. I didn't even go home. How could I wake up?"

"It seems that the attendance rate is very good?" Christine leaned against the back of the chair.

Jason understood the purpose of the other party coming here. He didn't hide it and said directly, "Last night was full, but there were also many people who had no tickets refused to leave. We had to temporarily add more than a dozen chairs in the cinema."

He sighed, "IMA Cinema has never had this situation. The company should have asked Duke Rosenberg to cooperate earlier."

“The situation has fallen a little bit this morning.”

This is no surprise. The early and midnight venues consumed a lot of enthusiasm from the audience. This is another show that started at 6 o'clock in the morning. "However, the attendance rate here is also more than 90%.

Christine recorded the data provided by the other party one by one, and saw that the time was almost over, so she said goodbye and left the manager's room and came to the exit passage of the cinema.

While standing here and waiting, Christine felt a vague feeling that the situation of IMA's company that has been lukewarm may be changing.

After the end of the show, some viewers came out one after another, and Christine started her own work, which is a very common situation in the North American film market. As long as there is no urgent matter, the audience is willing to cooperate.

After all, you can praise a few words for your favorite videos, or you can also spray disappointing videos, and you can also get a small gift.

A movie fan in his twenties said, "I think this is a great Batman movie, Heath Ledger is an incredibly talented actor. I think it's a no-brainer if it's rating."

"I'll give it to a, too," said another movie fan. "The story Duke told is really unspeakable. It's worth watching several times. If I didn't have to go to work later, I would have wanted to watch it all."

A young man like a crazy fan next to him said, "I want to say Duke is not a human at all, he is a god."

But the style of the film is too distinct, and some people will inevitably dislike it or even hate it.

When Christine asked a male fan in her twenties, the other person had a little angry face.

"At most, if this is not a Duke movie, I don't think even d is worth it. I am a Duke movie fan and I like "Iron Man" very much. This "Dark Knight" is so disappointing. Who likes those dark and desperate content? And it's not refreshing enough, and the squeaky clown makes people feel annoying."

Although there are very few such audiences, they are definitely not without them.

Another movie fan in his thirties said, "There is no meaning at all, and the motorcycle is still in harmony. A boring movie makes a foolish child crazy. It's so terrible."

It is normal for films like this dark style to be hated by others, but none of these can prevent "The Dark Knight" from earning huge revenue in the North American market.

As soon as IMA started working on Saturday, Richard Gerfen, the head of IMA in Los Angeles, couldn't wait to gather the owners of the Los Angeles branch to the conference room.

Since the business in Hollywood is in its development stage, the conditions of the IMA Los Angeles branch are not very good, and the conference room is a bit small. Dozens of people are sitting inside, which looks particularly crowded.

However, these people didn't care, and there was a hint of excitement and excitement on their faces. This company had already allowed them to see hope for leapfrog development.

"Everyone, I think everyone has received news. Last night's midnight show, "The Dark Knight" filmed and produced using IMA technology took 22.18 million US dollars from the North American market in 3,160 theaters."

Putting down the documents in his hand, Richard Gerf stood up. He seemed to want to strengthen his tone in this way, "This is the latest North American midnight box office record, and there are also IMA's credit."

Everyone in the conference room was staring at Richard Galfang.

Clearing his throat, Richard Gerfang said, "The 125 IMA Films in North America contributed $920,000 of them and the average attendance rate of all theaters reached 100%.

As soon as these words were finished, there was a tide of applause in the conference room.

Looking at the excited subordinates, Richard Gal's side also felt a little moved. This move was obviously right. He was not without doubts when the other party used the IMA camera. After all, the number of cameras in the entire IAM company can be counted with one hand. If it is damaged, it is difficult for him to explain to the head office.

It seems that all this is right

The applause gradually faded. After a light cough, Richard Gal sat down again and said, "From now on, we will fully cooperate with Warner Bros. The headquarters has called me to notify me. ima will invest as much resources as possible in "The Dark Knight" and the number of theaters that will screen "The Dark Knight" throughout the day has increased from 50 to 100."

After reminding him of a few specific work matters, Richard Ger's side announced the end of the meeting and returned to his office. Looking at the poster of "The Dark Knight" hanging on the wall, he gradually thought about it in his heart.

He heard from Warner Bros. executives that Duke's new films will be science fiction themes, and are also big-produced commercial films. His commercial films are simply guaranteed to be sold and circulation. Judging from the response of "The Dark Knight", they can easily become hot events. IMA want to develop and cooperate with such directors to be wise

No matter what, he must push IMA to continue to cooperate with Duke Rosenberg.

Thinking of this, Richard Galfang picked up the phone, dialed the other party's number, waited for the female assistant to transfer the phone to him, and said a few words of congratulations with a smile.

As long as the other party is willing to continue to cooperate with IMA, let alone a few words of congratulations, Richard Gal's side is willing to do so even if he has been a driver for him for a while.

Hang up the call from Richard Gal's side, Duke looked at the opposite side and asked, "Tina, where is the statistics of market reactions and audience reputation?"

"This is the data that Warner Bros. just passed."

Finafe put a fax document in front of Duke and said, "Emasore theater audience praises as high as 94%, the average audience scored a, the audience's favorite popcorn index was 92%, and 55 media reporters scored a high score of 98."

She paused for a moment and said, "In terms of imdb, 38977 users scored an average of 100 points" to be continued.
