Time came to May 29, may 22 to May 28, a box office week in many people's envy surprise in the end.
The best box office performance is naturally rush hour 2.
After a certain amount of public relations, this eastern and Western Kung Fu Comedy, which only barely passed the comprehensive media score, made a total of 91.43 million US dollars in the first seven days of the whole week.
The first week of more than 90 million dollars is really crazy.
You know, the box office of the first film in the first seven days of the first week is only 33.01 million US dollars. With the excellent audience reputation, the domestic box office of the first film also reached 141 million US dollars.
Now, the first week is 91.43 million US dollars, almost tripled. What's the North American box office of the film this time?!
With the great success of rush hour 2, many people can't help but find that the Chinese American filmmakers in Hollywood seem to be ushering in their own glory, not the second time, because the seemingly first time of Bruce Lee's Kung Fu movies in those years is only a flash in the pan on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is only Bruce Lee who has become famous.
This time, a group of people emerged at the same time.
Let's not talk about anything else, just say that this summer vacation, the "fatal Postcard", starring Fage and producing by Wu dove, is a hot topic. And then rush hour 2 was brilliant, no doubt. And then there's the hero, which is a collaboration between Jeter Lee, who is famous in Hollywood for his new version of Hurricane rescue, and Zhang Guoshi, who is famous in Europe. The schedule is July 31.
It's a phenomenon that three consecutive Chinese American films are packed in the same summer camp, and none of them is dispensable.
In addition to rush hour 2, it's worth mentioning the second week's release of Los Angeles secret.
Under the impact of rush hour 2, the new movie, which has reached the classic level of public praise, still controlled the decline to 41%, which is still within the expected range, and received another $22.83 million.
Los Angeles secret grossed $61.59 million in two weeks.
Even if Jurassic Park 3 is about to be released, and its revenue exceeds 60 million yuan in two weeks, there is still great hope that Los Angeles secret will hit the threshold of 100 million yuan.
In fact, the production line-up of this film is quite strong. Palma doesn't say that several leading characters, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and Kevin Spacey, have already gained fame in Hollywood before. As the first leading actor of the newcomer, Hugh Jackman, is even more amazing this time.
With his solid acting skills cultivated step by step in the Australian entertainment circle, Hugh Jackman, under the pressure of several other big stars, still excels in this time's LA city secret after he came to the fore with the help of a pastor in last year's super time contact.
Apart from the two films all from danielis entertainment, there are few other films in the same period.
Among the other films released at the same time as "rush hour 2" last week, only "perfect murder" starring Michael Douglas was not a failure. However, under the strong pressure of "rush hour 2", the box office of this film in the first seven days of the first week was only 19.35 million dollars, even worse than "secrets of Los Angeles" the next week, In North America, the box office potential is only 40 million to 50 million, which is barely equal to the production cost of 50 million US dollars.
Another last week's "casino style painting" cost US $40 million. The box office in the first seven days of the week was only US $6.56 million. With a dull voice, fox, the producer, could only look at "rush hour 2" and sigh, which once again hit Murdoch's enthusiasm for continuing his film business.
In the new box office week on May 29, even if it's Jurassic Park 3, there are still four films of different scales.
However, the only thing worth mentioning is Sony Pictures' 2013 ultimate miracle.
Simon intervened a little last year. With the operation of Chris Lee, President of Columbia Pictures, who was wooed by Simon, the Japanese were trapped again.
Kevin Costner is not willing to let the future water world fail and challenge the style of wasteland of the last time again. Sony was only willing to invest up to $50 million at the beginning, but when the project started, it was impossible for the Japanese to make it to the level of $75 million.
This is the only major production of Sony Pictures this summer.
I don't know how Chris Lee works, or, in the coming summer, the competition is really fierce, and the schedule is unexpectedly set for May 29.
Therefore, it means that even if the film is successful, it will face the strong pressure of Jurassic Park 3 the next week, and the box office is bound to plummet.
All in all, Simon thinks he can talk to Westinghouse about taking back Sony's film business.
There are few accidents. After its premiere on Thursday and on the day of its release on Friday, the 2013 ultimate miracle was released. The media almost made one-sided bad comments. The comprehensive media score is only 3.4 points, even the future water world is not as good as the future water world. Although the box office of the future water world is not a success, it still takes back more than 200 million box offices in the world, It is only because the cost is out of control that the investor can not recover the cost.
This time, even if the cost is controlled at $75 million, which is less than half of the future water world, the 2013 ultimate miracle has a box office potential.
The prediction was soon proved.
The opening screen size of 2746 yuan is not small. However, the box office of this apocalyptic science fiction film was only 4.63 million US dollars on its first day.
The poor $4.63 million makes Sony feel like it's being cheated again no matter how stupid it is?
Yeah.
Why do you say "again"?
ok
In the following three days of the weekend, the box office performance of "2013 ultimate miracle" was $13.76 million. Although it was ranked second in the list of the three days of the weekend, the estimated box office performance of 20 million in the first seven days of the week was far from the expectation of Sony executives.
Simon watched all this. In addition to admiring Kevin Costner's repeated boldness in his failure type, which led to the complete destruction of his reputation, Simon could only play the role of Superman father, but also had an idea.
From Lao Bu's "2001 Space Odyssey" to Redley Scott's "blade killer" to the present "2013 ultimate miracle", Hollywood has made bold or conservative or optimistic or pessimistic predictions for the first 20 years of the 21st century. However, as a latecomer, Simon certainly knows that nothing has happened.
Compared with the fantasy of filmmakers, the first 20 years of the 21st century are almost mediocre.
I don't know if it's a kind of lack of initiative.
Simon thinks it should be.
From the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s to the first two decades of the 21st century, it should have been the most golden 30 years in human history. There were no repeated changes in the agricultural age for thousands of years, and there was no Cold War confrontation that could destroy the world at any time. Everything was so beautiful. It is reasonable to say that human science and technology should break out rapidly.
In fact, it only continued the accumulation of the 20th century.
Perhaps entering the information age is an achievement, but the result has not become too good.
Just as Simon considered a matter a while ago, the rise of the Internet has led to a large number of the most intelligent minds not investing in the continuous progress of science, but being drawn to study how to put advertisements on the Internet more efficiently and accurately.
If human beings hold back, the result can be imagined.
Why there is a war that has lasted for thousands of years or a war? The key lies in the stagnation of this kind of productivity. The lack of productivity can not produce the demand of the growing population, so war is inevitable.
Entering the industrial age, many people were optimistic at first, and as a result, there were two successive world wars.
And then there is the Cold War confrontation that has lasted for half a century and almost dragged mankind into a nuclear war several times in a row.
In the final analysis, productivity is still constrained.
In addition, the 30 years after the cold war, except for a small number of regional wars, is almost the most peaceful period in human history. Science and technology are relatively developed in the past. However, too many people do not seem to be aware of the crisis, instead, they are tireless in distribution.
In 30 years, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
If this trend fails to produce a key technological breakthrough node, such as the unlimited energy brought by controllable nuclear fusion, the result will surely be another cycle of human history, peace, war, and
After this war, it's hard to say what's left.
Because humans have nuclear weapons.
It is always said that nuclear war will not break out, because the upper elites who control the world understand what nuclear war means.
In fact, absolutely not.
The elite of the upper class may not be as smart as ordinary people think, or they may be a madman, or they may be a fool, or they may just rely on their instinct of mixing in the political market for decades to gain power by accident.
And the inevitable coercion of public opinion.
All of these will make the rulers make absolutely irrational decisions.
Imagine, when our country's armed forces are almost completely annihilated in the state of conventional operations, will nuclear weapons be used at this time?
Why not?
As the great emperor said, if there is no Russia, what else will the world do?
So, when the first nuclear bomb is launched, does the other side want to use nuclear weapons to counterattack? If not, it means destruction and counterattack. I'm not sure whether there will be a second one after the first one. It's impossible to counterattack only one, so there are two, three... Countless
Is there a chance to stop?
The top politicians may have been hiding in the safest nuclear protection facilities, or they may have stored enough food for decades, and they certainly have nothing to worry about. Now that our own safety has been guaranteed, we must continue.
As for the people?
Who would have thought of that.
After all, both sides are already red eyed. How can it be? Do you want me to give up? Do you want me to give up? Perhaps the first round of nuclear bombs has caused millions of casualties, and no one can ride the tiger.
therefore.
Go ahead.
Fireworks all over the sky, mushroom clouds everywhere.
That's the end.
Time to enter June, the first is the premiere of Jurassic Park 3 on June 3.
For such a heavyweight sequel, during the early stage of internal audition, the word-of-mouth and box office prospects can be basically determined, so there is nothing to worry about. After the lively premiere, the word-of-mouth of Jurassic Park 3 was lifted on the next Thursday, with a comprehensive media score of 7.8, which is not the best in the series, But under the curse of Hollywood's trilogy, which is often unable to get rid of the decline, this is a good ending.
After all, "Jurassic Park 3" is similar to "rush hour 2" in fact. It has a considerable popularity base. With a comprehensive media score of 7.8, it is enough for the audience to enter the cinema without psychological barriers.
Then, on June 5, Jurassic Park 3 was painted on a large scale, with 4337 screens in North America.
It's not the time of the first Jurassic Park. Hollywood's saturated release has become more and more mature. The previous rush hour 2 was able to exceed 90 million in the first week. No one doubts the box office prospects of Jurassic Park 3. What's more, Denise entertainment has clearly announced that Jurassic Park 3 will be the end of the dinosaur series, There will be no restart in the next ten years, which will make many people enter the cinema for this phenomenal series.
As a result, on its first day of release, "Jurassic Park 3" won $32.17 million under the eye of all the other Hollywood studios.
It's not just the first week that the RMB 100 million will be broken. This is obviously the trend that the RMB 100 million threshold will be hit in three days at the end of the first week.
Maybe the only thing that can surpass Jurassic Park 3 in the short term is next year's Star Wars prequel, and even the DC movie universe series will be weaker, unless Simon starts the justice alliance assembly ahead of time.
Los Angeles.
Inside the hillside mansion in palisade.
It's June 6, Saturday.
Three sixes, according to China, is a most auspicious day.
This is a celebration party held by danielis entertainment, which is mainly for "secrets of Los Angeles" and "rush hour 2". As for "Jurassic Park 3", there must be another party. After all, the party after party is the normal life state of Hollywood aborigines. If you don't attend dozens or hundreds of parties every year, you certainly don't get ahead in Hollywood.
Simon is in Los Angeles this weekend. Naturally, he won't be absent. He will arrive at about eight o'clock.
It's a kind of social intercourse.
Girl a has prepared the list in advance. What she needs to greet, she greets one by one, and then it's free time.
The party tonight is very lively.
The biggest feature is that there are many more Asian faces. In addition to Jack Cheng, the hero of the "rush hour" series, Wu and Fage, the white dove, have all rushed over. The two sides just haven't cooperated for the time being, far from turning over, so they are also smiling.
In addition to these, Zhu Momo, who came to North America for business by accident, also brought his aunt.
