Chatty Hollywood

? After researching to this point, Charlotte suspected that this pyramid was some kind of magic weapon, or that there was some treasure buried in it that could emit or store spiritual energy.

However, he tried it but found nothing——

Trying to destroy the ruins of this underwater pyramid is very easy, just like ordinary ruins, without any sense of treasure;

And when she used her spiritual sense to explore it, Charlotte didn't find anything special.

In fact, because the Mayan-style pyramid is not a mausoleum for pharaohs and other rulers like the Egyptian pyramids, but a place for worship, most of the interior of this pyramid is solid.

--Nothing but ordinary dirt and rocks.

Although this was one of the reasons why the ruins of the pyramid were not completely destroyed by the strong water pressure on the seabed, it also made Charlotte realize that he could not find anything inside the pyramid.

"If I completely destroy this pyramid, will these rich auras completely dissipate, or will they still hover here?"

Charlotte guessed in her mind,

"If it's the latter, it means that this aura actually comes from this space, not the pyramid itself..."

However, even if she thought so, Charlotte didn't dare to actually take action.

On the one hand, this place can almost be said to be the only place in the world that is rich in spiritual energy.

——If Charlotte’s prediction fails, it would be a pity to destroy it.

On the other hand, Charlotte is afraid that there is a mystery hidden here that she cannot detect——

"In that case, destroying this place might draw the other party out, which wouldn't be easy!"

After thinking for a long time, Charlotte finally decided to give up temporarily.

"The information I got from that bat demon is incomplete, and the snake demon Lillian said she doesn't know. It seems like we have to try to find other demons in order to find more information!"

He sighed,

"If I had known better, I might as well have stayed home and slept with Sally in my arms tonight!"

**********

However,

Regret medicine does not exist in this world.

Not only Charlotte, but Philip Biermann also has a deep understanding of this.

"If I had known, I would have listened to Bob and gone home to sleep last night!"

Looking at the midnight box office report of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in his hand, Robert Iger's confidant let out a sigh.

Of course, this isn't because of the movie's box office performance.

——It would be better to say that the midnight box office performance of this movie was very good.

——So good that it can blind the eyes of most Hollywood film practitioners.

After all, the first midnight of its premiere, $32 million, was incomparable even to the 1999 reboot of the "Star Wars: Prequel" series.

Of course, because most of the themes chosen are related to horror and horror, Charlotte Booth's movies have always performed very well at the midnight box office.

But "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" could be so perverted that it was beyond Philip Biermann's expectation——

You know, for many small and medium-budget movies, if the total box office in North America can reach US$32 million, they can already be declared a success;

Even for those commercial blockbusters that cost a lot of money, if the first-day box office can reach 32 million, it is considered quite good;

It only took one night for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" to reach this level!

"This midnight box office definitely broke the North American midnight box office record once again!"

Philip Biermann sighed,

"It seems that Charlotte Booth's back and forth before was all meaningful!"

You know, the box office results can already explain a lot of problems.

Not to mention, Disney paid great attention to the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" this time. The investigators they hired stayed at the entrance of major theaters for one night, and the data collected was enough to make Philip realize one thing - —

"This time the midnight box office has soared to such a high level, not only because the premiere venue was almost full, but also because many theaters were full for the second, third and even fourth show. !」

——This situation cannot be due to the influx of a large number of new viewers.

After all, even if most of the audiences who like to watch midnight movies are movie enthusiasts, they can’t violate the human law of victory after all—

Forget about the one that starts at 0 o'clock, the movie that opens after two o'clock, or even the movie that starts at four o'clock, who would be so reluctant to go to the cinema at that time?

Even if there are some non-human beings, or some people did not catch up with the 0 o'clock game and chose a later game, such a large scale can only explain one problem——

"There are a large number of viewers who are still unsatisfied after watching it once and watch it a second or even third time!!"

——Only these people who are in the cinema can cause the show to be full after 0 o'clock.

And what does this situation mean?

"BOSS, the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is going to be huge!!!"

"Yes, even compared to Charlotte Booth's other movies, the results of this movie are expected to be explosive!!!"

Philip Biermann was so excited that he quarreled his immediate boss, Robert Iger, on the phone.

"It seems that we don't have to worry about the impact of Harvey Weinstein's scandal on Disney Pictures..."

After talking nonchalantly to his immediate boss for a long time, Philip Biermann finally hung up the phone.

At this time, the excitement had subsided a little, and he felt the fatigue again after staying up all night.

"If I had known better, I should have had more faith in Charlotte Booth!"

Philip lamented, preparing to go to bed for a while while it was still early.

However--

"Ring ring ring!"

Several phones in his office rang almost simultaneously.

"What's up!?"

Philip Biermann asked, suppressing his fatigue.

"What? Need more copies!? Expand the number of screens!??"

Philip's mouth suddenly grew wide,

"Today is the first daytime of the show, right!?"

——You know, as Disney's key promotional project this year, the number of screens for the North American premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" exceeded 3,500.

…

After talking for a while, Philip Bierman finally figured out what was going on.

——In the final analysis, it is still because of the exaggerated midnight box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

Because after watching the movie, many viewers watch the movie for the second or third time without wanting to finish it. As a result, they stay in the movie theater for a significantly longer time.

And if you stay for a long time, you will naturally need to drink water and eat.

This has caused a huge increase in the sales of drinks, popcorn and other items in many movie theaters.

——Even condoms.

For this kind of movie that can not only boost box office revenue, but also allow the audience to stay in the theater for additional consumption, the theater will naturally support it...
