Chapter 387: july

Ask for subscription, monthly ticket, collection, recommendation ticket

If it is said that May of each year is the beginning of the summer vacation.

Then July is the middle of the summer, and there are large-scale commercial films released almost every weekend.

The first weekend in July of this year's summer vacation belongs to Warner Bros.' production of "The Perfect Storm".

Directed by Wolfgang Petersen, the film cost $1.4 billion to produce and opens Friday, June 30.

Although the audience's reputation of this film is not as good as the professional reputation of media film critics, it has won box office revenue.

"Perfect Storm" opened in 3,400 movie theaters, and won the box office of 41.32 million US dollars in the first three days of the first weekend. It proved that Mel Gibson's choice was wrong.

To this end, Warner Bros. and the "Perfect Storm" crew are planning to hold a large-scale celebration banquet, inviting many Hollywood people to participate.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, the competition between "The Perfect Storm" and "The Patriot" almost turned into a conflict between Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures.

The cause of the whole incident was not because of the competition between the release schedule and the box office, but because of Mel Gibson, the star of "The Patriot".

When the cast of "The Perfect Storm" auditioned for the role, Mel Gibson was chosen.

But Mel Gibson opened his mouth on the salary, and in the end Warner Bros. had to choose to give up.

Soon, Mel Gibson accepted the invitation of Sony Pictures and the "Patriot" crew.

The most important point is that "The Patriot" was released on June 28, which is only two days away from the release date of "The Perfect Storm". It is impossible to avoid competition.

To be more precise, the two films were released almost at the same time, and there is bound to be a fierce competition.

In addition, there is "Turning the World", which will be released on July 7.

This is a movie produced by Disney, starring Bruce Willis, with an investment of up to 65 million US dollars.

However, in Ryan's memory, the box office of "Turning the World" is not very high. It only has a box office of 69.69 million US dollars in North America and 1.1 billion US dollars in the global box office. It is not very successful.

Even Disney, the film production company, needs a long time to recover the investment cost.

However, the two films "The Perfect Storm" and "The Patriot" are not bad.

Among them, the original "Patriot" has a box office of US$11.3 billion in North America, US$10.1 billion overseas, and US$21.5 billion worldwide, which is a very good box office result.

It is a pity that the investment of this film is as high as 1.1 billion US dollars, and Sony Pictures can only say that it has not lost money.

In contrast, "The Perfect Storm" is much better, with the original film making $18.2 billion in North America, $14.6 billion overseas, and $32.8 billion worldwide.

The film was a commercial success.

Let the film production company Warner Bros. make a fortune.

By mid-July, the box office of "Turning the World" came out in its first week, with only 19.53 million US dollars at the box office.

Even with the box office appeal of Bruce Willis, it can't save the film's box office trend, which made Orion Pictures a little relieved.

The release time of "X-Men" is only a week after "Turning the Universe", and it is considered one of the biggest competitors.

Therefore, "Turning the Universe" hit the box office at the release, which is very good news for Orion Pictures.

After all, the movie stars Bruce Willis, a real Hollywood star.

The film "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", which he cooperated with Orion Films last time, is still on the top of the global box office list.

"Although the release time of "Turning the Universe" is a week away from ours, the competition still exists."

"The good news is that the film only made $19.53 million in its first weekend."

At the premiere of "X-Men", Avi-Arad looked excited, "In this way, we only need to face "Scream 3" in the short term."

"Scream 3" produced by Dimension Films was also released last weekend, with a box office of 42.34 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend.

Fortunately, it's a horror movie that won't give the X-Men much competition.

"Don't forget, next, there is "Dangerous" produced by DreamWorks. The investment of this film is as high as 90 million U.S. dollars."

Ryan touched his chin and said, "DreamWorks has high expectations for the box office of this film."

"Dangerous" is also a thriller and horror film, and the box office in the previous life was not bad.

"Of course I believe that "X-Men" will not fail." He added.

Two horror films will not have any impact on "X-Men".

"That's right, we won't fail." Avi-Allard nodded with a very confident smile on his face.

On the red carpet outside the premiere just now, the appearance of Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Famke Jansen, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway and others caused countless The crowd cheers.

The arrival of the "Spider-Man" crew, Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, reached the climax of the crowd atmosphere.

It is undeniable that Marvel Comics, one of the two major comics in North America, has a large readership and fan base.

Even though Marvel Comics has been silent for too long, there are still countless readers and fans who remember the names of superheroes.

Such as Spiderman, Wolverine, Phoenix, Iron Man, Captain America and so on.

For many Americans, the name of such a superhero is not only familiar, but also a childhood memory.

Some media have given predictions that as long as "X-Men" reaches the normal standard of commercial films, it will be enough to recover the shooting cost.

"Yes, Ryan."

Avi Allard hesitated for a moment, and said, "Stephen Norrington, he wants to ask about the specific preparation time for "Blade Warrior 2"."

"Blade 2"!

Ryan seemed to think for a while, and said, "We'll wait until Wesley-Snipes gets out of prison."

Wesley Snipes' charges are not very serious, and if nothing else, he can be released on parole next year at most.

However, it is impossible for Orion Films to plan to prepare a crew right away. Instead, it needs to wait for Wesley Snipes to be released on parole and see how the media reacts to this matter.

Avi-Allard nodded, he thought the same as Ryan, and everything will wait for Wesley-Snipes to be released from prison on parole.

After looking at the time, Ryan got up and left the lounge, walked towards the screening room, and happened to meet Martin-Richards on the way.

"Hello, Mr. Gosling!" Martin-Richards greeted very politely.

Last Monday, he had officially signed a cooperation agreement with Orion Films. The "Chicago" project will be invested by Orion Films with a budget of up to 50 million US dollars.

The reason why he chose to cooperate with Orion Films is very simple. Miramax Films only agreed to an investment budget of 30 million US dollars, and it had to be financed.

Orion Films will transfer 50 million US dollars to the crew's account at once as soon as they officially prepare for the crew.

Although it is slightly less than the $67 million of "Moulin Rouge", Martin Richards is already very content.

"Chicago" is only a song and dance film, and the budget of 50 million US dollars is already considered a lot.

"Hello, Mr. Martin."

Looking at Martin Richards in front of him, Ryan suppressed the nausea in his heart and greeted him.

Next, without saying a few words, he hurried towards the "X-Men" crew.

For **** guys, Ryan has always stayed far away, he doesn't like being taken advantage of by men.

"It's spectacular, isn't it!"

Looking at the cheers from the crowd outside, and the huge superhero figure dolls erected one by one.

Greg Silverman said with emotion: "Obviously, Ryan Gosling bought Marvel Comics is a very correct decision."

He felt a pity deep down in his heart that it was not Warner Bros. who bought Marvel Comics, but Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures

In fact, Time Warner Group already owns DC Comics, one of the two major comics in North America, and it is unlikely to acquire Marvel Comics again. Otherwise, it is likely to face antitrust investigations like Microsoft.

"All right, Greg."

Kevin Tsujihara stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't forget, we own DC Comics, while Orion Pictures and Marvel Comics are only latecomers."

"What's more, once Ryan Gosling creates miracles again, "X-Men" will sell well at the box office, which is also a good thing for us."

Once Orion Pictures and Marvel Comics prove the success of superhero films, Warner Bros. and DC Comics can completely restart superhero series such as "Batman" and "Superman".

Warner Bros. and DC Comics are the creators of superhero movies.

"You're right."

Greg-Silverman nodded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ "Men and Cops" was released at the box office, which is indeed a good thing for us. "

For the first time, he hopes to see that the film produced by Orion Films can be a big hit at the box office, and even continue to create a box office miracle like "Inception" directed by Ryan Gosling last year.

However, no one would have imagined that Orion Pictures' superhero film project would achieve such a sensation, leaving Warner Bros. and DC Comics far behind.

In fact, there is another superhero movie released this year, Disney's "Undead", directed by Knight Shyamalan and starring Bruce Willis.

The original film was listed as one of the top ten superhero films of all time.

The box office of this film is not bad, with a North American box office of 95.01 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 15.3 billion US dollars, and a global box office of 24.8 billion US dollars.

However, very few people have seen this film in their previous lives. Except for some senior movie fans, most viewers only know superhero films such as "Superman", "Iron Man", "Batman", and "Avengers".
