Chapter 436: Overlord of Christmas Time

, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!

A theater in Los Angeles.

There are so many movie audiences, including men and women, old and young, and there are too many movies to choose from, and for a while, there are many people who are caught in the entanglement of choices.

"What movie do you watch?"

Several young people around the age of 20 are now debating which movie to choose.

"What's so tangled about? If you want to watch a movie, naturally choose the most popular movie at the moment. For now, what movie can be more popular than "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?" A cockscomb young man Laughed.

A blonde girl nodded in agreement: "It is indeed. Many of my classmates have seen the "Harry Potter" movie and said it is very good-looking."

When the voice fell, several companions who accompanied them nodded in response.

The Christmas time period can be described as a collection of excellent films, and there is absolutely no shortage of high-quality films, but the leader among them is naturally "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Men 100%", "Transformed into a King", "Chocolate" and other movies, one of them counts as one, and they are all suppressed by Harry Potter.

As of today, the "Harry Potter" movie has been released in North America for 10 days and has earned $145 million in box office.

Its North American box office exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, which is obvious.

but......

On December 22, 2000, the movie "Survival on the Deserted Island" starring two-time Oscar actor Tom Hanks was released in North America!

Many movie audiences, film critics, theaters, and film companies all think: "The Harry Potter movie, its biggest competitor during the Christmas season has appeared."

20th Century Fox Pictures, the producer of "Dead Island Survival", is also full of confidence in the film's box office performance.

Murdoch personally went into battle and said to the media: ""Dead Island Survival" took two years to build, cost 90 million U.S. dollars, and a publicity budget of up to 70 million U.S. dollars, even if compared with "Harry Potter", it is not much. yield."

Xie Yi, the owner of New Line Films, also jumped out and said: "The Wilderness Survival will naturally win the market's approval. Don't forget, the director of the film is Robert Zemigis!"

Robert Zemigis, is a well-known Hollywood director.

His successively directed films such as "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "Forrest Gump" and so on, are well-known classic films.

"When I watch a movie, the first thing I see is who the director is? The director is Robert Zemigis, then it's fine. The quality of the movies he knows is guaranteed."

These are the words of a moviegoer.

Looking at the Hollywood film market in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the director is naturally behind the scenes of the actors under the camera, and it is difficult to gain fame, but when the director becomes Robert Zemigis, then he is himself Box office guarantee.

"I also think the movie box office of "Dead Island Survival" may overtake "Harry Potter."

The person who said this was Harvey Weinstein, the president of Miramax Films.

Harvey Weinstein is a senior producer.

Although his status in Hollywood cannot be compared with Zhuke, Redstone, Murdoch, etc., but... his professionalism in film is beyond doubt.

He said: "Tom Hanks is now one of the best actor in the United States and the world. His films have never lacked fans and fans. In addition, the excellent production and distribution party is 20th Century Fox Pictures. Well, I Can't think of the possibility of it failing."

For a time, the entire Hollywood colleagues sang praises to the movie "Dead Island Survival".

really!

In the 20th century, Fox took the initiative, and the number of cinemas for the movie "Dead Island Survival" reached 3,500 in one fell swoop.

The number of 3500 cinemas opened!

It is much stronger than the "Man 100%" movie released by Paramount Pictures not long ago.

however.......

When the three-day box office results for the first weekend of "Dead Island Survival" came out, many people in the same industry were dumbfounded.

$30.12 million!

That's right, the box office score of the first weekend of the movie "Dead Island Survival" is just worth more than 30 million U.S. dollars!

"what?!"

"This......."

"No? This is the Christmas time!"

"It stands to reason that the box office in the first three days of the first weekend exceeded $30 million, which is already a pretty good box office result, but it is a work jointly created by Robert Zemigis and Tom Hanks! It shouldn’t be the only one. A little box office?"

"Oh my God!"

"The box office of "Dead Island Survival" in the first weekend was worth 30 million U.S. dollars, compared with the box office of "Harry Potter" in the first weekend of more than 80 million U.S. dollars. Is there such a big difference between the two?"

Many people were dumbfounded.

Shay, the owner of New Line Films, who has always been jealous of Zhu Ke's achievements, almost didn't stare when he heard the news.

"Damn Zhuke, this guy's luck is too good. God won't open his eyes!"

Shay was going crazy with jealousy.

Murdoch, the media magnate, is not in any better mood at the moment.

"I was worried about this before, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big?" Murdoch shook his head with a wry smile.

Similarly, Tom Hanks, the two-time Oscar winner for best actor, couldn't help but bitterly said: "It's impossible to be successful if you are a man. I never worry about failure. However, I did not expect that I would lose to a group of children."

you do not say!

Many of the characters in the "Harry Potter" movie are just a group of children!

Federal Express Company.

"It's incredible!"

Fred Smith, the founder and owner of FedEx, a super-rich man with a net worth of billions, read the newspaper and laughed: "We spent 20 million US dollars in sponsorship for the movie "Survival on a Deserted Island". The most important thing is to use 1,200 courier personnel to participate in this movie. In the end, they still lost to the "Harry Potter" movie?!"

Fred Smith was smiling, but the group of people in front of him couldn't laugh.

The money was not spent less, and people were not using less. Even the chairman of Fred Smith personally made a guest appearance in the movie, but he still lost.

Think about it, man, no one will be happy after a change.

"Hahaha~"

Fred Smith let out a hearty laugh, and said: "Zuke Wald’s movie is well made. Then, we can lean towards Wald Pictures in the future in terms of implanting advertising. There is nothing wrong with this. ."

.......

At this moment, Hollywood studios, large and small, have understood a fact.

The overlord of Christmas schedule in 2000~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is none other than "Harry Potter".

In the words of Disney Chairman Michael Eisner: "Even Tom Hanks can't win this battle. Who else can stop the strong rise of Harry Potter this Christmas time?"

In fact, the same is true.

After Christmas, Hollywood will release many excellent films one after another.

but!

Whether it is "Drug Network" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and other movies, they are all niche films, and they cannot have an impact on the box office of "Harry Potter". Moreover, these films are at the end of December. The screenings are only on a small scale.

Well, after all, these movies are Chong Austrian movies!
