June 10, 1992.
After his last meeting with Philips at the night of internal screening, Sam got the news that the chairman also sanction total of 1000 screens to be allocated to his movie.
The reason for increasing more than 500 screens is because, the June times line is normally deserted and not many big budget films are shown in this time period.
So Phillip's company can allocate a few more resources for this film because too do not have any film to release at this time.
The competition between third tier studios are more intense than first or second tier, as they do not have any guaranteed contracts with theatres.
The guaranteed contract means a production company will have at least 20 or 30 movies released in theatres in a year which minimum budget of 1 million per every movie.
The contract varies for first and second tiers but generally, they have to give atleast budget of one million for their films.
But for the tier three studios, they don't have this luxury, so for them, quality of a movie requires to be at least good to be shown in the theatres.
In the mean time, same also invested money in some tech stocks such as Microsoft, Intel and HP.
This stocks are stable and have good growth during this period of time, so he invested all his idle money there and left about a hundred thousand to two thousand dollars in his account for emergencies.
5 days later;
Today is the premier of the movie 'laugh in mayhem's with 60 screens around west coast and 20 screen across east coast at location near top cities.
The rest of the screens will release two days later and the premier is generally hold for film critics as well as some journalists.
So if they can write some positive about the movie and people might go watch those movies if they are interested.
As this movie is not a big budget it does not have much fanfare at the premier and it is all done quietly.
Sam sat at the front seat with Philips and Lily Jones sitting side by side him.
As the film was progressing critics wrote their own understanding and journalists also jolted down some words to write for their newspaper.
After the film was finished, claps were thunderous as most of the people liked this light hearted-comedy movie.
Sam led the other creative team with him to the stage and talk about some behind the scenes of filming.
Some reporters who were present there, also asked questions one by one to the creative team while Sam answered fluently without falling into word of traps of those reporters.
After the premier, Critics and journalists were invited to backstage for the dinner, they were also given some gifts to accommodate them.
The 90's era was the golden period for film critics as their words held lot of sway at the low to medium budget films.
Because their articles could bring many audiences to the theatres for movies.
After the event finished, Sam took Lily away with him to the beach for two days for some relaxation.
