Chapter 106 of Little Miss SunshineOf course, Sisko's comments are not the only ones from the film critics, other people's comments have also been reported. But most of them are not as eye-catching as Sisko. On Friday, July 30th, the film officially opened in ten theaters in Los Angeles and New York. According to the evaluation of the famous film critic Sisko, the effect seems to be quite good. Chen An, who was hiding in a theater, found that the flow of people coming to watch movies was quite good, although most of them chose "The Runaway Bride" and "The Blair Witch Project". But there are also many parents who bring their children to watch "Little Miss Sunshine". After coming out, they seemed to be in a good mood and were chatting with their families with smiles on their faces. Three days later, the first weekend box office statistics were quickly released. The comedy romance film "Runaway Bride" starring Julia Roberts, which cost 3158 million to produce, was once again a huge success. It premiered in 1200 theaters on the first day, with a box office of 3505 million US dollars on the first day and million US dollars in the first weekend. It won the box office championship this week.
Following closely behind was "The Blair Witch Project". In its third week of release, the box office unexpectedly exploded after the previous hype and publicity. This weekend's box office increased by compared to last weekend. The outrageous increase earned it 2900 million US dollars and ranked second. "American Pie", which was released on July 1098, continued to earn 6 million this week and ranked 620th. "Eyes Wide Shut", which was released on July 7, earned million this week and ranked th. Ranked third is the Warner movie "Deep Blue" which was released at the same time. This horror thriller also earned 1910 million US dollars in box office in these three days, with a production cost of 2854 million. It was released simultaneously in theaters. After watching it, Chen An just wanted to say fuck it. On the contrary, Chen An's "Little Miss Sunshine" was initially released in only ten theaters, but it was still pretty good compared to its previous life. It has earned 24 US dollars in three days, and I don't even bother to calculate the ranking. Although the box office was not high, the attendance was very good. Jerry has submitted a request to the company to add more theaters, but has not received a response yet. Chen An and Jerry both said TNND, why don't you approve it? Please approve it for me quickly!! Do you know who you are going to fight next? It’s the damn “The Sixth Sense”, ranked second in the whole year. Who can withstand such a punch? Fortunately, the well-known Hollywood rating website imdb has rated the film after a few days of watching it, and the preliminary score was a high score of , although it is only a preliminary score. The Rotten Tomatoes website, which appeared last year, also gave the film an 89% freshness rating, giving it an excellent score. When Warner received Jerry's application on August 60, it also began to consider expanding the screening range. Finally, after looking at the attendance rate and online reviews, it successfully increased the number of theaters to on August . Therefore, as of August 80th, the movie's box office statistics for this week have reached US dollars, which is really cause for celebration and everyone is happy. Chen An has the urge to kill someone, but fortunately, the theaters where the movie is shown have indeed been expanded. The box office increased by 275% in the second week, earning 300 million US dollars, which can be said to be a huge success! This was even the case with the release of "The Sixth Sense". On August 2126, it grossed 800 million in 2628 theaters on the first day of its release, topping the box office chart for the day. Combined with the 4389 million it earned in the first three days of the weekend on the th and th, the million in the first week pushed "The Runaway Bride" to the top of the box office chart next week! The second place is still "The Blair Witch Project", which took in 3707 million in its fourth week of release, continuing to hold the second place on the weekly box office list! Instead, the film "Runaway Bride", which originally ranked first, fell to third place, with a box office of only 3113 million. This is just the beginning for The Sixth Sense, which will continue to top the weekly box office charts for five consecutive weeks! No one would have known that this movie, which was not very expensive and in which Bruce Willis participated as a profit, would create a miracle. With a small budget of 40 million, it became the runner-up in the global box office this year. Second only to the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace". Fortunately, it seems that for now, there is no obstacle to Chen An's little Karami movie, and the box office remains stable. Warner continued to slowly increase the scale of screenings, and ultimately with the support of 153 theaters, box office continued to grow, surviving in the cracks. It continued to grow by 54% in the third week, earning a box office of 462 million! It was the smallest among several blockbuster films and successfully made it into the top 15 of the box office chart.
It was really a lucky break. Many viewers who had felt the warmth of "The Sixth Sense" went to "Little Miss Sunshine" to continue feeling it and change their mood. Chen An's movie also took some of the other party's leftovers. In its second week, "The Sixth Sense" continued to top the weekly box office chart, earning 3965 million! The continued growth in box office revenue also allowed Warner to see results and further expand the scope of screening. The number of theaters increased to 700, and Chen An’s movie did not disappoint them. The box office continued to grow, compared to last week’s 54% increase, this time it increased by 90%! The box office revenue in the fourth week reached 877 million US dollars, successfully making it into the top ten of the box office list! And "The Sixth Sense" continued to maintain its position as the top movie, topping the weekly box office with a box office of 3519 million! "Chen! Chen! Our movie is a success. As the screening expands, the box office has been growing. The company is ready to continue expanding the screening range!" Jerry rushed to Chen An excitedly after looking at the fourth week box office revenue report. Chen An also held a newspaper in his hand and looked at the media statistics, which called "The Sixth Sense" the biggest dark horse of the year, followed closely by "Blar the Witch" which was an incredible miracle, and Chen An's "Little Miss Sunshine" was also evaluated as an unexpected box office dark horse! It has soared from the initial six-digit box office and entered the top ten of the box office list, and there is potential for continued expansion of screening scope and growth in box office! Four-week box office statistics, from the initial 80 to the current 877 million, the total box office is 1719 million US dollars! Chen An also nodded happily, "Jerry, it seems that we have succeeded this time. I believe that the screening area will continue to expand and grow!" "I knew you wouldn't let me down. If it weren't for these damn parasites who arranged to show it in ten theaters, we would have been successful long ago!" "No, I think it's better to take it slow, otherwise I feel like Bruce Willis will beat me up and make me cry, hahahaha." Chen An felt that it was a good thing that he took his time and did not compete head-on with "The Sixth Sense", otherwise it would have surely died miserably. The current box office growth was entirely dependent on word-of-mouth. There wasn't much publicity before. As the number of people who have reviewed the film increased over the past few weeks, the imdb score has also dropped, now at points. In Chen An's opinion, there is still room for decline from the points in the previous life. However, the box office continued to grow as word of the film spread, and although some Warner executives were becoming aging and confused, they also understood that this was a good time to continue to increase and expand the scope of screenings. The number of theaters showing the film doubled again, reaching 1430, covering almost the entire United States, although we can't say every corner. The facts did develop in the direction that Chen An had expected. The box office of the movie showed growth again. The box office in the fifth week continued to grow by 31%, earning a weekly box office of 1148 million US dollars! The success of the film is beyond doubt. With a production budget of eight million, the film has already been a success, and the current growth is still upward! What’s even more interesting is that in the fifth week, “Little Miss Sunshine” directed by Chen An officially appeared at the top of the weekly box office chart! (End of this chapter)
