On November 24, the first day of Thanksgiving, "Pulp Fiction" was released in North America, premiering in 2,411 theaters, while "Meet Me", released on the same day, opened in 2,840 theaters.

In the first 24 hours of its release, "Meet Me" took in 17.04 million US dollars, while "Pulp Fiction" was slightly lower, with a total box office revenue of 10.13 million US dollars.

In its three days of premiere, "Pulp Fiction" earned more than 27.17 million US dollars at the box office, and "Meet Me" earned more than 26.89 million US dollars.

"Pulp Fiction" surpasses Diudiu.

The box office data of both movies are very good, and both movies have the potential to exceed 100 million.

In order to get more box office, Colombia increased the promotion of "Pulp Fiction" through the media companies under the Sony Group, promoting the film from all aspects.

Quentin and Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and other creative staff were dragged to various cities by promoters and theaters to promote the film.

During this period, the creators of "Pulp Fiction" can be seen on many TV talk shows. They were asked to talk about their film creation experiences, Uma Thurman and John Travolta were asked to dance the twerk, and Bruce Willis was asked

Leith's participation in the film.

In interviews, Quentin often teases Dukas, the boss of LV Pictures, by talking about how they met, the name of Like a Virgin Pictures, and how he was attracted by Dukas when he was writing the script for "Pulp Fiction."

Crazy squeeze.

In order to achieve better publicity, Quentin revealed several new materials in the interview, such as the shootout that took place in the Sunshine Boy Bar, when Duca used a gun to scare off dozens of gangsters. Quentin said that he got

A lot of inspiration, and he also talked about a story about how he was forced to change the script by a gang boss at gunpoint.

The publicity effect was good, and Quentin's jokes were reproduced by many media.

It grossed US$37.71 million at the box office in its first week, ranking first at the box office for the week.

The rival "My Fair Daddy" also did well at the box office, with US$36.85 million in its first week, closely behind.

The two movies also have something in common: the production cost is extremely low. The production cost of "Pulp Fiction" was 8 million, while the production cost of "My Fair Daddy" produced by Fox Pictures was only 12 million.

Both movies are considered dark horses among low-budget movies.

But which one is darker still depends on the next data.

When these two movies were a hit, other movies released at the same time were in bad luck. "Pulp Fiction" and "My Fair Daddy" had more than 80% of the film schedules, leaving only a small share of more than a dozen movies, resulting in ten

The weekly box office statistics of several movies are less than 20 million.

In the second week, the two movies continued to work hard, and the crew of "Pulp Fiction" continued to promote and expand the influence of the movie.

The rival Fox Pictures directly cheated and expanded the number of theaters where the film was released while promoting it. The screening scale of "My Fair Daddy" increased from more than 2,800 in the first week to 3,218 theaters, accounting for 47% of the screening share.

.

In the second week, "Pulp Fiction" took in a box office of 34.07 million U.S. dollars, with a total box office of 71.78 million U.S. dollars, while "Meet Me" had a box office of 46.14 million U.S. dollars, with a total box office of more than 83 million U.S. dollars.

"It's so unruly. How could they do this?"

Quentin complained while holding the data report.

"No need to complain, the box office in two weeks exceeded 70 million, far exceeding our expectations, and it is worth celebrating."

Duca smiled.

Although the box office data of "My Fair Daddy" is higher, it is not necessarily better in terms of profitability. The average attendance rate of "Pulp Fiction" in the second week was 72%, while that of "My Fair Daddy" was only 58%.

The higher the attendance rate, the more movies are scheduled in theaters. This is why Fox did not leave "Pulp Fiction" too far behind after increasing the number of theaters showing "My Fair Daddy".

In the third week, the two dark horses continued to fight fiercely, and on Friday, another dark horse joined the battle, and "Schindler's List" was released.

"Schindler's List" took in a box office of 36.67 million in its first week, "My Fair Daddy" fell to second place, earning 29 million US dollars, and the total box office was 112 million US dollars, while "Pulp Fiction" earned 19.19 million in its third week, with a total box office of 91 million.

Thousands of dollars.

In the fourth week, "Goose Pond" starring Julia Roberts was released.

At this time, "Pulp Fiction" and "My Fair Daddy" still have some remaining power, while "Schindler's List" and "Goose Pond" are still in full swing.

Competition at the movie box office is fierce.

This has led to many films that lacked confidence to announce their withdrawal and delay their release dates.

In the fourth week, "Goose Pond" won the box office championship with revenue of 35.2 million U.S. dollars, "Meet Me" came in second with 23 million U.S. dollars, and "Schindler" came in third with more than 21 million U.S. dollars.

"Pulp Fiction" dropped to fourth place at the box office, with revenue of 11.42 million U.S. dollars, and its total box office revenue exceeded 100 million, reaching 102 million U.S. dollars.

With an investment of 8 million and a box office of more than 100 million, it is undoubtedly another box office dark horse.

After this data came out, LV Pictures was once again hyped. A film company that was established less than four years ago produced two movies with a box office of over 100 million in one year, which are two movies in the top ten of the annual box office list.

As well as two movies with a box office of more than 50 million and one with a box office of more than 40 million.

This kind of production capability and this kind of money-attracting ability are much better than MGM-United Artists.

There is no MGM movie with a box office of over 50 million this year.

In the latest issue of the newspaper, the "Hollywood Reporter" compared the performance of LV Pictures to the seven major film studios.

This year LV Pictures is better than most of the seven major film studios.

First of all, due to internal changes, Disney has no new animations released, and no movie has a box office of over 100 million in North America. The same is true for its subsidiary Bu Wei Pictures.

Fox Pictures only has one movie with a box office of more than 100 million, "My Fair Daddy", and Paramount only has one "Sugar-Coated Trap".

Except for the two movies released by LV Pictures, Columbia Pictures has not released any other movies that have exceeded 100 million yuan.

Among the movies with a box office of more than 50 million and less than 100 million, LV Pictures has two movies, while other movie studios only have one or two movies.

"Hollywood Reporter" also calculated the total global box office of several LV Pictures films. "Immoral Deal" has a global box office of 270 million, "Black and White" has a global box office of more than 86 million, and "The Age of Innocence" has a global box office of more than 86 million.

120 million US dollars, "Cowgirl Blues" has a global box office of 23 million US dollars, and "Escape from Las Vegas" has a global box office of 75 million US dollars.

The North American box office of "Pulp Fiction" exceeded 100 million, and the global box office exceeded 200 million.

This year, LV Pictures generated a total of more than 770 million U.S. dollars in box office revenue.

This data can only be surpassed by Universal and Warner.

Therefore, the "Hollywood Reporter" raised two questions: LV Pictures' box office data this year is better than that of the seven major film studios, so does Ducat still need to acquire a large company whose operating efficiency is not as good as LV Pictures?

?

The second question is that LV Pictures’ net income from movies this year is approximately US$280 million.

It was rumored that Duca proposed an offer of US$400 million when faced with the acquisition by Seven Pictures. However, Seven Pictures gave up on the acquisition because the offer was too high.

Will Seven Films regret it now?

It is also rumored that Mr. Dukaskin proposed to the president of Miramax Pictures at the beginning of the year to exchange 20% of the shares of LV Pictures for 20% of the shares of Miramax Pictures, but was rejected by Mr. Harvey Weinstein. So,

Does Mr. Weinstein regret it now?

"Fake!"

In the office, Harvey Weinstein threw down the newspaper angrily. Just now he saw that the Seven Major Pictures gave up and missed the opportunity to acquire LV Pictures. He felt quite happy, but in the next moment he saw the news of the stock exchange, and his face suddenly changed.

Dark.

"That bastard Duka went too far. He also disclosed to the media the things we discussed in private."

Harvey took the phone and wanted to question Duca.

"Harvey, I remember you told others about this at the cocktail party, more than once."

Bob reminded.

Harvey thought for a moment, and it seemed so. He put down the phone angrily, rubbed his big belly and sighed,

"That Dukka guy is so profitable. A small company earns two to three billion a year. This performance is almost as good as the Fortune 500."

Harvey said enviously.

"Yes, if I had known that LV Pictures was so successful, you should have exchanged shares with Duca in the first place. You should have exchanged them in 1992. At that time, Duka wanted to exchange 20% of LV for 5% of our shares in Miramax.

, you don’t do it;

At the beginning of the year, he once again proposed exchanging 20% ​​for 20%, but you still didn’t agree. If you had agreed to him, we would have made an extra 50 million, 50 million U.S. dollars, by holding 20% ​​of the shares and doing nothing!”

Bob shook his five fingers and said sadly.

Harvey's eyes twitched. If he had 20% of LV Pictures' shares, he could sell them for fifty to sixty million US dollars if he could resell them now. Unfortunately, it was too late and he couldn't go back.

"cheers!"

Compared to the regrets and regrets of others, the atmosphere at the "Pulp Fiction" celebration party seemed very cheerful.

"Hahaha, "Pulp Fiction" did pretty well at the box office this time, thank you for your support!"

Quentin held the wine glass and laughed.

"Quentin, how does it feel to become a billionaire box office director?"

Nicolas Cage laughed.

"Haha, it's not bad. I will try to get a box office of 350 million for my next movie and become a director with a box office of 1 billion."

Quentin laughed loudly.

"Quentin, you are a great director now. Remember to write a role for me next time you film."

Winona smiled.

"Haha, no problem!"

"And me, I want it too!"

"No problem, no problem, everything!"

Quentin waved his arms and shouted boldly.

"Quentin is a little too arrogant again."

Duca smiled while holding a champagne glass.

"The two films directed by Quentin are both dark horses at the box office. This one, with an investment of 8 million and a box office of over 100 million, would be a hit with anyone."

Monica smiled slightly.

"Really? I make two to three hundred million a year, do you think I'm drifting?"

Duca raised his chin and said.

Monica laughed, hugged his neck and gave him a passionate kiss.
