The spring schedule is one of the most deserted schedules in North America, and few large-scale commercial films are released.

However, "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", which was released on March 16, directly ignited the North American box office market.

In fact, compared to winter and autumn files.

Every few years in the spring file, there will always be a movie that sells well at the box office. In addition, "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra" is listed as a recruitment promotional film by the Pentagon and the military, which is enough to set off a fiery movie-watching wave.

"The sci-fi world of G.I. Ops: Rise of Cobra can't help but be scary, and G.I.O. is the only thing we can rely on."

"This is an action movie full of sci-fi atmosphere. The Cobra organization in the film is evil and powerful. It wasn't until the emergence of special forces that people saw hope."

The 9/11 incident had not erupted yet, and the American media applauded the military and the Pentagon.

At this time, the media and the public agree that the Pentagon and the military can solve any crisis, including the terrorist organization in the film.

It is undeniable that before the September 11th incident, it was the best time for military films to be released, and the society was full of positive images of American soldiers.

Just like "Forrest Gump" and "Into the Deadly Island", which were popular in the 1990s, movies with the theme of soldiers can often achieve good box office results.

It is these films that are released one after another, creating various classic military images.

And "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" is not only a film with the image of soldiers, but also an action film.

Even, enjoy the treatment similar to "Top Gun".

As a result, "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra" earned a box office of 22.15 million US dollars on the day it was released. On the next Saturday, the charm of the special forces remained undiminished, and it earned another 23.56 million US dollars at the box office.

Although "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" is a commercial film in the final analysis, the first two days of release consumed a large number of viewers, and the box office on Sunday inevitably declined, with a single-day box office of 20.12 million US dollars.

However, the box office of the film was still as high as 65.83 million US dollars in the three days of the first weekend.

With the investment scale of "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", it earned 65.83 million US dollars in the box office within three days of its release, which is enough to be regarded as a box office hit.

Starting next weekend, "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" will be released in multiple overseas countries and regions.

A film that sold well at the box office in North America in its opening weekend will not encounter any problems in overseas distribution.

"A box office of 65.83 million US dollars was earned in three days in the first weekend!"

"The film should have been released in the summer."

In the conference room of Orion Films, Frank Macasso showed a look of disbelief, "The box office revenue of Orion Films this year will definitely surprise all Hollywood film companies."

What he didn't know was.

If Orion Films hadn't been a listed company and hadn't disclosed its financial statements to the public, it would have surprised many Hollywood film companies long ago.

"The summer file has "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "Rush Hour 3", and "Tomb Raider 2" to be released. It is impossible to put the release date of "Special Forces: Rise of Cobra" on the summer file."

"What's more, the schedule in March is not bad."

Ryan tapped his fingers and continued: "Although the three-day box office results in the first weekend were good, it's not the time to relax."

"Next, it's time for us to invest in publicity resources."

"Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" is only a commercial film. If you want to keep the long-term box office stable, you must invest a lot of publicity resources.

Besides, Orion Pictures did not invest too much money in the promotion of the film in the early stage, and relied more on the promotion of the Pentagon and the military.

Nancy-Utley knows the importance of publicity, "I have already contacted many media and TV stations, and I will launch a large number of publicity advertisements from today."

Ryan nodded, looked at Jon Fertimer and said, "Next, Jon will be personally responsible for the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Trooper of the Two Towers."

"In addition, Sophia would like to inform you that the crew of "Spider-Man 2" will go to New York for filming before May."

The main filming location of "Spider-Man 2" is still New York.

Unlike the original version, Ryan intends to use the World Trade Center as one of the important filming locations.

For this reason, Ryan not only changed the usual filming process of the Hollywood crew, first filming the location, and then went to New Zealand.

This time Australia was not chosen, but New Zealand.

The last "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has finished filming, and Peter Jackson is busy with film post-production.

The soundstage of Wellington Studios was naturally vacant, and the studio invested and built by Orion Films could basically be completed in about a year.

As for the World Trade Center!

It is Ryan's bad taste. The World Trade Center collapsed in the 911 incident, and in the end he had to choose to rebuild it.

The appearance of the World Trade Center in the future "Spider-Man 2" is a silent mockery.

You don’t have to worry about trouble if you do this. Film crews come to the World Trade Center almost every day to shoot scenes. After the 9/11 incident, the White House and the Pentagon faced the angry public and media, and they didn’t care about a Hollywood film company at all.

"By the way, has the copyright of "Harry Potter" made any progress!" Ryan's eyes fell on Nancy Utley.

The matter was handled by Nancy Utley and Warner Bros. executives.

"There hasn't been much progress at the moment."

Nancy Utley showed embarrassment and said: "In addition to Disney, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox have also offered a series of favorable conditions, which are far beyond what we can accept."

Regarding this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ryan is not surprised. Hollywood giants such as Disney, Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Fox cannot fail to see the value of the copyright of "Harry Potter".

"Bypassing Rowling's agent and directly discussing with Rowling, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, they can be reached directly."

"Remember, you don't need to ignore the opinions of Warner Bros., and get the copyright of the remaining "Harry Potter" as soon as possible." Ryan said in a deep voice.

Compared to that difficult agent, Rowling is obviously much easier to deal with, and at least she will not open her mouth when she asks for money.

Otherwise, she would not have given up a part of the benefits at the beginning, just to put "Harry Potter" in the UK for filming and starring British actors.

In her previous life, Rowling did not choose to cooperate with other film companies, but still chose Warner Bros.

In addition, Rowling has not agreed to the favorable conditions offered by Disney, Universal Pictures, and Twentieth Century Fox.

It can be seen from this that Rowling actually hopes to continue to cooperate with Orion Pictures and Warner Bros.
