Tuesday, November 1st is Halloween, so TET has already landed in multiple overseas markets during the weekend, including Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, etc.
DreamWorks¡¯ overseas distribution is a form of cooperation, usually between Universal Pictures and a local distribution company. Of course, a phenomenal film like TET will not have to worry about finding a distributor or publicity. In fact, countless young people overseas have been waiting for it for a long time.
TET¡¯s overseas performance was good in its first week. The overall evaluation and reputation were similar to those in North America. The box office did not suffer a setback, and it took in $31.79 million during the fierce Halloween period. This number is in line with the estimates of the institutions, because it has already entered all the ticket warehouses, and there is no room for it to explode again. It is basically moving smoothly towards the total estimated number of $70-80 million.
The global box office of this pseudo-documentary horror film will almost certainly exceed US$200 million. It will be difficult to surpass the US$248 million of "Blair Witch" (US$108 million overseas), but it has truly scared the world.
For DreamWorks, not much revenueIt seems to just warm my heart, but this year's "Nightmare Factory" is not over yet.
"Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" (budget $30 million), released on October 5, performed mediocrely. So far, it has only made over $50 million at the North American box office, but its overseas box office has exceeded $100 million, with a 95% freshness rating and a 79% Likeability ensures that the DVD will sell well, will not lose money, and will preserve the reputation of DreamWorks Animation.
"Dream Run" (budget $32 million), released on October 21, was very bad. After two weeks, it only had a measly $19.02 million at the North American box office, which is just over $30 million at most. But its reputation is not bad, with 64% freshness and 78% love. For Dakota Fanning's sake, be more tolerant.
The poor box office performance of two films with good reputations exposed the moribund state of DreamWorks. After repeated misfortunes in the first three quarters of this year, its finances were no longer able to support the amount of publicity it gave to these two films. Most of the money is spent on LMS.
But how much work has such a weak DreamWorks actually done? How vigorous can the cooperation and promotion in theaters be after LMS is released?
These are the concerns that analysts have about the LMS box office, and they are also the reasons why the outside world is increasingly not optimistic about its North American box office exceeding $100 million. Even if the reviews are very good, once it suffers from poor distribution, the box office will not be much better, and $70 million will start to feel far away.
If it weren¡¯t for Ye Wei¡¯s popularity, dream cast, and buzz, it would have been worth $50 million.
Ye Wei is on fire! The recent release of LMS has become more and more popular. The latest issue of the famous magazine "Entertainment Weekly" this week has an exclusive interview with Ye Wei, talking about his personal life and LMS.
"Entertainment Weekly": As a teenage director, how do you get along with the stars?
Ye Wei: Very good. Of course there were a lot of difficulties, especially in the beginning, because it seems like everyone on set is more experienced than you are, even Breslin has been on more sets than I am. But everyone was very professional and took good care of me, which made me understand that things are not complicated, and I just have to do my job well.
"Entertainment Weekly": What was the most difficult thing during the filming period? The funniest thing?
Ye Wei: The most difficult and the most interesting thing are the same thing. Many people come to visit the class. I welcome each one of them, and I am also afraid of each one of them, because someone visiting the class means that time will be wasted that day, and those unintentional mistakes will lead to more NGs, which is equivalent to stabbing me several times. And the funny thing is, they all bring life, joy and food to the set and keep us from going crazy, so I still welcome them, especially those who bring food.
"Entertainment Weekly": What do you think of the recent controversy you have encountered? Do you think it's unfairly racist?
Ye Wei: I don¡¯t care too much about these. When I fight, I will fight hard, but you can¡¯t live with a victim mentality, that will give you many reasons. Life is never easy. If it is fair, I will like it. If it is unfair, I will treat the game I am playing as more difficult and use actions to change it.
"Entertainment Weekly": What does LMS mean to you? What are the expectations?
Ye Wei: I don¡¯t know how to answer, because it just means this. It¡¯s too much and too heavy to explain clearly. If I have to use an analogy, it¡¯s like my child. I just want it to be healthy and successful, and hope that it can express its own meaning, not compete with anyone, just bloom by itself.
