"The latest news is that the action blockbuster "The Streets 2" has made a strong counterattack. The box office performance in its first week has exceeded 100 million. The competition for the box office in the Christmas and New Year movie market has become confusing and has entered the day" "Los Angeles Times" reported.
"Xiao Xuan once again transformed into a parkour master and joined hands with Monica to stage a thrilling drama!" - "The New York Times" For such an action blockbuster scheduled for Christmas and New Year, the craftsmanship stage added a strong dose of excitement to the film market agent, the entire market has become hot.
Once it was released, it surpassed the position of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" and became the weekly champion at the box office, which surprised many film critics.
Hollywood¡¯s Christmas, New Year and summer seasons are ¡°must-haves¡± every year. Every time, great films emerge and sparks fly. However, although Hollywood blockbusters have begun to explode in the past two years, it seems that there has not been such a fierce battle for a long time. .
Needless to say, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", the box office of the first three films has proved his reputation as the world's most profitable film series, while "King Kong", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Fantastic Four" Every film has been the champion in the past, and it was also the second place at the end.
However, during the Christmas and New Year period of 2005 and 2006, there was such a strange aspect. Every film was a leader and a masterpiece. Coupled with the strong return of "Violent Street 2", the entire film market was shocked. The excitement and confusion make it difficult for film critics to predict who will become the champion of the film market.
But no matter who can become the first, he will definitely stand out among the others, and his gold content will be extremely high. Stimulated by the entire film market, the box office of films has increased mutually. Warner, Disney and Summit have become the final contenders in this war. Each of them is exerting all its strength to vigorously promote its films.
Warner is used to being the boss, and their "Harry Potter" is a trump card. Since the first film, it has become the box office champion of the schedule with absolute advantage every time, and even the annual box office champion. In the history of North American box office They all occupy a position of attack.
So this time Warner is still strong, and "Harry Potter 4" is indeed very powerful. It has already earned a deserved US$290 million at the box office in North America, and an even more shocking US$470 million at the overseas box office. It is definitely the most profitable novel series.
"The Chronicles of Narnia" has an astonishing North American box office of about 290 million, which is comparable to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in the North American and overseas box office markets.
This gave Disney executives a burst of encouragement. You must know that their film has an investment of 180 million US dollars. If it cannot get a good box office, it will also be a heavy blow to Disney.
Compared with the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" overseas, "The Chronicles of Narnia" is not far behind, with a box office of 400 million US dollars, closely behind "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and its momentum is also very high. Strong.
As for the remake of "King Kong", it has been welcomed by everyone. Some media even issued such high-end praise as ""King Kong" has won the respect and praise that a remake has never received." There are also rumors It is said that many people at the Oscars admire this film and it will be selected for many awards.
The shocking 200 million box office in North America also shows its strength. It also performs quite well overseas and has the momentum to become the third place. Combined with the strong rebound of "King Kong", "Fantastic Four" seems to be a bit lacking in stamina. The box office revenue was only 160 million US dollars, and the overseas box office revenue was only about 180 million US dollars. Overall, it looked very unsatisfactory, and there seemed to be a big gap.
¡°However, the top executives of Summit Entertainment, including Xiao Xuan, are very satisfied with such results. The cost of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was US$150 million, while "The Chronicles of Narnia" cost US$180 million, and "King Kong" also cost US$130 million. Proportionally speaking, "The Fantastic Four" also counts. Very good.
"If outsiders knew that the cost of this film was only US$70 million, would they still lament that "Fantastic Four" lacked stamina?" Chen Hefei took the box office report in his hand and handed it to Xiao Xuan with a wry smile.
Yes, the production cost of "Fantastic Four" is very low, and the return rate is very high! Of course, the low cost and high return here are comparable to other films. If compared with "Twilight", they are incomparable.
Regarding the sighs from the outside world, Xiao Xuan did not pay too much attention. He put all his thoughts on "Violent Street 2". This new masterpiece with big production, big actions and big scenes did not disappoint the fans. It is overwhelming. Attack the city at the movie market.
¡°It¡¯s pretty cool, pretty enjoyable, and its level of entertainment deserves a five-star recommendation!¡±
"Movie Review", in this movieProfessional publications affirmed the watchability and entertainment of "Violent Street 2", and when recommending the list, they also gave appropriate five-star recommendations, which made "Violent District 2" the icing on the cake. .
There are also some newspapers, such as "Movie Guide", which evaluated "Violence 2" and believed that this film seriously deviated from reality and we had to lament that the picture was shocking enough to make people's blood boil. Zhang, arousing the blood in my heart.
No matter how newspapers like the "News of the World" and "Washington Times" smeared and ridiculed "Violence 2", they could not stop this big-budget film from climbing to great heights. It bravely attacked the box office of the movie market and even made three major movies. The market is in turmoil.
"Damn! How can this bastard's movie be so great?**! I'm so angry, Harris, hurry up and ask your brother Princeton to fiercely attack this guy in the newspaper and reduce him to nothing! !¡±
Parker Kennedy held the newspaper in his hand. After seeing the information about the box office success of "Violence 2", he angrily yelled at the Korean gangster Harris next to him. The veins on his face were exposed, which is enough to see that How resentful he was towards Xiao Xuan.
It¡¯s no wonder that he hates Xiao Xuan so much. Xiao Xuan played a cruel trick on him at the party last time, which made him look very ugly. And what happened that time was also known to many people in the upper class, which made many The rich kids who were originally hostile to him acted like a clown watching him every time they saw him, sarcastically making him look down upon him.
Even when he attended the family political fund-raising banquet, he felt as if the people around him were always staring at him with ridicule. This greatly affected his self-esteem as an eldest young man, and his resentment towards Xiao Xuan was also shaken. Getting more and more profound.
He also doesn¡¯t want to think about teasing others from time to time. Can he be bullied himself? However, people like him will not recognize their own mistakes and will only blame them on Xiao Xuan.
"Our Washington Times and that brat have been feuding for a long time. Don't worry, Parker, my eldest brother will definitely agree. But let me see, it would be better for you to contact the top executives of the Hollywood company. You know, your The family is still very powerful in Hollywood, and your cousin is still the governor¡¯s wife!¡±
Harris, the Korean stickman, gave Parker Kennedy a bad idea with a low eyebrow. It turns out that this Goryeo Bangzi is none other than the younger brother of the current boss of the Washington Times, and his father is the notorious Moon Sun Myung, the "famous" leader of the "Unification Church."
After Hares and Parker Kennedy murmured together for a while, they both laughed, "Haha, Hares, you really have the style of your father. This is a good plan! It's great, I must let that Huang Leather monkeys kneel at my feet, and our Kennedy family will recreate our glory in my hands!"
"Of course, my brother and I support you! By the way, I have prepared fresh female bodies. Shouldn't you enjoy them? These are fresh ones I got from North Korea. You must like them, Master Parker. !¡±
"Good! Hares, maybe I should tell your father that you are more suitable to inherit his property and position as leader!" Upon hearing Hares' words, Parker Kennedy's eyes lit up, and he patted Hares on the shoulder with a laugh. Praise.
"Hahaha¡¡"
¡¡¡¡
Xiao Xuan would not have thought that there would be a group of clowns secretly waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him. He is now promoting the film "Violent Street 2" all over the world. At the same time, he also told Chen Hefei, Yang Kaiming and Luo Mingyang to do their best to promote the film. Offensive, we must promote this film well, and the cost of publicity has reached 50 million US dollars. This is also the largest publicity plan of Summit Entertainment.
Even compared with several major companies, it is not far behind. This promotion fee is only paid by the company. Those theater alliances and distributors are also obliged to promote this film. Those people are not fools. See "Violence 2" is so beautiful that many people see the huge value of this film and work hard to promote it.
The production cost of "Violent Street 2" this time is 55 million euros, which is almost more than 70 million US dollars. If the publicity expenses are also included, "Violent District 2" also has a cost of 120 million, which can be said to be huge. The cost, and it was such a high cost, made Xiao Xuan ambitious.
Although the North American box office results of "Harry Potter", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "King Kong" have all exceeded 200 million, and even the first two films have exceeded 300 million, the world's total box office of "Harry Potter and the "Goblet of Fire" is about to reach 750 million US dollars, and "The Chronicles of Narnia" has also reached 700 million US dollars. Even "King Kong", which overlaps but seems to be a bit behind, has a box office of more than 460 million US dollars, and even three movies have a box office of more than 460 million US dollars.The number is still growing.
But Xiao Xuan is still not absolutely terrible. The marketing strategy of Xiao Xuan in his previous life has been carried out. In addition, the quality of this film is not inferior to the previous life's "Fast and Furious 5". Xiao Xuan believes that this film will not make him too Disappointed.
The previous "Fast and Furious 5" was able to generate a box office of 600 million, why can't I do the same? His first "Twilight Saga" far surpassed his previous life, so Xiao Xuan was determined to win.
