While Ryan was busy preparing for "X-Men", on March 31, "The Matrix" produced by Warner Bros. was released. The midnight box office on Wednesday earned 4.8 million US dollars, and it earned another 4.7 million US dollars at the box office on Thursday.

It wasn't until Friday that "The Matrix" officially ushered in a hit.

It earned $9.35 million at the box office on Friday, $10.56 million on Saturday and $7.86 million on Sunday.

Although many viewers are complaining, many special effects and fighting forms in this film can clearly see traces of imitating "Terminator 3".

But there are still a large number of viewers who walk into the cinema and choose to watch "The Matrix".

As a result, the film's three-day box office in the first weekend was as high as US$27.777 million, plus the US$4.8 million box office of the midnight show, and the US$4.7 million box office harvested on Thursday.

In just five days, the North American box office has reached 37.27 million US dollars.

Warner Bros. executives not only breathed a sigh of relief, at least this film did not fail, and even far exceeded expectations.

Even if the box office of "The Matrix" drops sharply in the future, there should be no problem with the film's final North American box office exceeding $100 million.

Even, the cost of filming can be recovered through the North American box office.

In contrast, "Blade Warrior", which was released in mid-March, has been released for more than three weeks, and the accumulated box office in North America has reached 57 million US dollars, and the box office growth has begun to decrease significantly.

According to the conclusions drawn by Orion Pictures, the North American box office performance of "Blade Warrior" is almost impossible to break through 100 million US dollars.

According to Ryan's own estimation, it should not be much different from the original version.

Of course, if there is no Wesley-Snipes, maybe you can try to hit the $100 million mark.

The overseas box office of the film has not been greatly affected. It is estimated that the global box office can reach 100 million US dollars, or even exceed 100 million US dollars.

The good news is that there will be no major commercial releases in North America until "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" opens in May.

For the next screening of "Blade Warrior", it is still relatively favorable. The only one facing competition is "The Matrix" produced by Warner Bros.

"Although the special effects and fighting of "The Matrix" have traces of imitating "Terminator 3", it is still a good movie."

Walking into the temporary training hall, Ryan talked about "The Matrix" with Nancy Utley on the way, "At least the directors of the film, the Wachowski Brothers, have great ideas."

Having said that, Ryan couldn't help showing a strange look on his face.

They can still be called the Wachowski brothers now, and it is estimated that after a while, they should be called the Wachowski sisters.

Nancy Utley thought for a while, "Twentieth Century Fox is very dissatisfied with "The Matrix", and even plans to sue Warner Bros. and the "Matrix" crew."

The release of "The Matrix" is definitely not good news for Twentieth Century Fox, which has been planning to shoot the sequel of "Terminator 3".

Bad news for Gail-Anne-Hurd, of course.

"20th Century Fox and Warner Bros!"

Ryan suddenly stopped, "It's good news. It is estimated that for a long time, 20th Century Fox didn't have the energy to stare at "X-Men."

"Another piece of news for you, Arnold Schwarzenegger has already planned to run for the next governor of California, and will not continue to star in the "Terminator" series of films."

Not only 20th Century Fox, but also Gail-Anne-Hurd has been promoting the shooting plan of the "Terminator 3" sequel, and even Orion Pictures has this idea inside.

Nancy Utley's expression didn't change much, she already knew about it, "With the support of the Republican Party and the Kennedy family, Arnold Schwarzenegger won't encounter too many obstacles in running for governor."

Speaking of it, this matter is a bit interesting. Arnold-Schwarzenegger's wife is from the Kennedy family. He himself is a member of the Republican Party, but the Kennedy family has great influence in the Democratic Party.

"Arnold is a man with a lot of thought."

Ryan did not continue to talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger, but asked about the filming progress of "Lord of the Rings", "Based on Peter Jackson's filming progress, can the film be released in time for next summer!"

The release time of the first "Lord of the Rings" set by Orion Films began in the summer of 2000.

The release time of "Harry-Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", co-produced with Warner Bros., is scheduled for November or December 2000.

In this way, the release time of the two films can be staggered.

"Peter Jackson's filming is going well, no surprises, the first Lord of the Rings."

Nancy Utley paused, "It should be "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", which can be released in early May as scheduled."

With the support of Ryan and Orion Films, the filming process of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was much smoother than the original version, without those procrastinating things.

"Tell Peter-Jackson that the filming progress can be slowed down appropriately, but the quality of the film must be guaranteed." Ryan's expression became serious.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy can also be called the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. It is one of the most important plans of Orion Pictures besides the Marvel Comics superhero movie.

The original "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has created unparalleled influence around the world. In the past, no epic film could achieve such a grand scale.

Especially in some western countries, its influence even exceeds that of the "Harry Potter" series.

It is an exaggeration to say that the influence left by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is enough for countless fans in the Western world to talk with readers of the original for a lifetime.

The influence of the "Harry Potter" series of films is more reflected in the youth group and income.

As they spoke, the two walked into a large training room. Except for Ian McKellen, they were all receiving professional training, including several leading actors and a group of stuntmen.

As soon as he entered the training room, Ryan saw the figure of Anne-Hathaway. She was undergoing muscle stretching training, and her facial expression was very painful.

Seeing Ryan and Nancy Utley approaching, Sam Smith, who was in charge of training, handed over the training to an assistant and hurried up to meet him.

"Hello, Mr. Gosling, Miss Nancy!"

"Sam, how do you feel!" Ryan patted Sam-Smith on the shoulder, "Do you think they are difficult to deal with?"

Sam Smith was introduced by Daniel Green, and he is about to participate in the filming of "Black Hawk Down", playing an American special soldier.

"It's a lot easier than I thought."

Sam Smith said honestly: "Halle Berry and Rebecca Romijn's physical condition is not bad, and the others are a little bit worse."

Ryan nodded lightly, without any surprise. Halle-Berry and Rebecca-Romijn were both models, and their physical fitness and flexibility must be much better than ordinary actors.

However, a movie is a movie after all, as long as the actors' physical fitness is more or less passable, some dangerous and difficult moves will naturally be performed by stuntmen.

Jackie Chan himself is the only actor in Hollywood who is similar to Jackie Chan. Even Charlize Theron can only do some not-too-difficult moves, and those difficult moves are also done by stuntmen.

Otherwise, the third-party insurance company will be the first to jump out and stop it.

Ryan glanced at the actors who were training, and his eyes stayed on Anne-Hathaway, "Anne, how is she doing?"

"A girl with a strong will." Sam-Smith continued: "It's just that she is a little too weak, and she usually lacks exercise. It is a bit difficult to complete the training plan."

"Some standards can be relaxed, I don't want to be approached by her mother." Ryan looked at Anne-Hathaway's undeveloped chest, "After all, she is not yet an adult."

He has always been in touch with Anne-Hathaway's mother, otherwise he would not have easily agreed to let her play the role of Little Rascal.

Of course, Anne-Hathaway's appearance is also one of the reasons.

"In the name of the crew, hire a private acting teacher to help Anne-Hathaway rehearse the plot first."

Ryan doesn't want to train Anne Hathaway again in the future filming process like Scarlett Johansson did.

Nancy Utley shrugged and said, "I know a really good female acting teacher."

The three chatted for a while, and Sam-Smith checked the time and told the actors in training to rest.

Ryan fetched a towel, walked up to Anne-Hathaway, and handed it to her, "Hi, Anne, how are you feeling!"

Anne-Hathaway sat directly on the ground, took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face and neck, "It's terrible, it's more painful than what Scarlett said."

She has a good relationship with Scarlett Johansson and often talks about some anecdotes in the crew.

"Scarlett?"

Ryan glanced at her with some sympathy, and Scarlett Johansson's nonsense can also be believed, "She has never shot an action movie~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the little rascal you played is a female superhero."

Anne-Hathaway's face turned bitter, and she complained, "She should really be cast in an action movie, preferably as a superhero."

"There will be a chance." Ryan's expression was a little weird. In the future, Scarlett Johansson will not only play a superhero, but also a superhero with strong skills.

"If I had known it earlier, I would have chosen a literary film." Anne-Hathaway said unabashedly: "I feel like I'm falling apart."

"You have to remember that commercial films are the mainstream of Hollywood." Ryan took the towel handed back by Anne-Hathaway, and said: "Also remember to build a good relationship with the other actors in the crew."

After chatting for a while, Ryan said hello to each actor, and then left the training room. He will also meet with Stephen Norrington and Wesley Snipes in a while.
