Hollywood Hunter

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The film that originally received the most attention during the Easter schedule was actually "Mission: Impossible."

Simon accompanied the two women on maternity leave. In the past few months, the acquisition of Paramount Communications by Canada's Seagram Group was approved by the federal government despite opposition from many media, and the two parties officially completed the transaction in October.

Therefore, "Mission Impossible" can be described as the first blockbuster after the Seagram Group entered Hollywood.

After the accumulation of blockbuster films such as "Moonlight" and "Killing Hour", Nicolas Cage is already a new-generation male star with considerable box office appeal, and the heroine Demi Moore is not lost in terms of popularity or popularity Cage is too much.

In terms of cost, the production cost of the first "Mission: Impossible" finally reached $65 million, and Paramount and Daenerys generously gave a budget of $35 million this time, making up $100 million. The total investment can be said to be determined to win this Thanksgiving schedule.

Unexpectedly, a "Lion King" came out.

After a strong first week of $70.31 million at the box office, "The Lion King" continued its momentum in the second week. Facing new films such as "Mission Impossible" and "Perfect World", the second film was released from November 26 to December 2. Weekly's box office decline was still only 26%, and it made another $52.06 million at the box office.

Within two weeks of the opening of the film, the cumulative box office of "The Lion King" quickly rushed to a high of 122.37 million US dollars, and even clearly showed the potential to hit the annual championship position of the summer file "Superman".

In the face of the strength of "The Lion King", "Mission Impossible", which has been well received both in the pre-publication and after the screening, finally made $46.35 million at the box office in the first week, far lower than the original $60 million expected by the distribution team.

In the first week of $46.35 million, the box office data is comparable to the opening data of "Indiana Jones 3" four years ago. However, with the change of the Hollywood film distribution model, "Mission Impossible" is the same opening scale. It's hard to hit the $200 million mark in the country like Raiders of the Lost Ark 3.

As for how far the final box office can reach, it depends on the curve in the following weeks.

Of course, the first-week box office of $46.35 million is definitely not a failure. It is a certainty that the total box office in North America will exceed 100 million. Even if the domestic box office cannot make the film company recover the cost, the market popularity of the film and the data of the overseas release ticket warehouse in the same period are a certainty. Feedback, "Mission Impossible" is not a big problem to achieve profitability through the global theater distribution.

Compared with the box office performance of another large-scale commercial film "Perfect World" released in the same period, "Mission Impossible" once again confirmed the development trend that blockbusters will become the mainstream of Hollywood studios.

"Perfect World" directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Kevin Costner has a strong lineup, and the production cost of $30 million has also reached A-level standards. The producer Warner Bros. Pictures also A 1964-screen opening scale was arranged for the film.

After its release, this crime drama about a robber who escaped from prison accidentally 'kidnapped' a little boy and roamed the world together and finally got redemption has a good reputation.

However, compared to the $46.35 million box office of "Mission Impossible" in its first week, "Perfect World" only made a disappointing $10.06 million in its first week.

Old Cowboy and Costner's strong creative lineup, the best time for Thanksgiving, and the opening screen of nearly 2,000 yuan, Warner originally expected this film to become another 100 million yuan club hit. Now, the first week is 10.06 million US dollars , it is difficult for the film's total North American box office to exceed 30 million, and we can only expect box office performance in overseas markets.

However, in the next few months, the eyes of overseas filmmakers are destined to focus on films such as "The Lion King", "Mission Impossible" and the new project "Cyberbones" of the dc movie universe during the Christmas schedule.

Entering December, the North American film market fell into a short unpopular period between the two major schedules.

From December 3rd to December 9th, "The Lion King" inevitably suffered a relatively large box office drop, with a drop of 36% in the third week of its release, and collected another 33.29 million US dollars, with a total of 100 million box office in three weeks. $55.66 million.

"Mission Impossible" failed to threaten "The Lion King" as the box office champion in the first week. In the week of early December, the box office data failed to escape the inevitable sharp drop in the unpopular period. The box office fell by 37% in the second week after the opening. , which is even more serious than "The Lion King", and the single-week box office volume also fell to less than 30 million US dollars, only 29.34 million US dollars.

Within two weeks of its release, "Mission: Impossible" grossed $75.69 million at the box office.

With such a box office trend in the next week, there is definitely no problem with breaking through 100 million, but the total domestic box office data depends on the box office trend during the Christmas period.

Among other films released in the same period as "The Lion King" and "Mission: Impossible", "Perfect World" dropped by 32% at the box office in the second week, which seems to be stronger than "The Lion King" and "Mission: Impossible". In the second week of its release, the box office revenue was only US$6.86 million, basically withdrawing from the competition for the end-of-year schedule.

On the other hand, "Skinny Daddy", which was released at the same time as "The Lion King", earned $21.08 million at the box office in the first week. The box office dropped by 26% in the second week, and it made $15.6 million. The box office drop in the third week of release was still only 29%. Harvest $11.31 million.

In three weeks, the cumulative box office of "Skinny Daddy", which survived between the two giants, reached 47.99 million US dollars unknowingly.

With this film's very appropriate family atmosphere, it is not a big problem to achieve a box office rebound during the Christmas period, so it is still a hit on the box office of the parliamentarians.

The club's seed.

Moreover, the production cost of "Skinny Daddy" is only 25 million US dollars, and the box office receipt of 47.99 million US dollars in three weeks has basically allowed the producer Fox to recover all the production costs, and it is easy to achieve considerable profits through the local box office in the follow-up.

Fox is very satisfied with the box office performance of "Skinny Daddy". The media also feel that it is very good to obtain such box office results under the attack of "The Lion King" and "Mission Impossible." Influenced by the two blockbusters of "Mission Impossible", the box office of "My Little Daddy" has shrunk by half compared to the original domestic achievement of 200 million US dollars in space and time.

Phenomenal box office bombs like "The Lion King" have greatly increased the box office capacity of the year-end schedule. However, the audience base in the North American market is limited after all.

In the face of "The Lion King", which went straight to the 300 million US dollar level at the local box office, even "Mission Impossible" was accidentally injured, not to mention the family comedy like "Skinny Daddy".

After all, there is an element of humor in comedy films.

When the audience has no other choice and happens to encounter a holiday suitable for watching movies, it will become a priority option.

However, in the face of absolute strength, a comedy movie is like a clown performing a burlesque to face a world-class boxing champion. This time, "Skinny Daddy" is facing two powerful "strong men" in "The Lion King" and "Mission Impossible".

December 10, a new box office week.

Highgate Pictures, a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment, quietly launched Steven Spielberg's film "Schindler's List" about the massacre during World War II, with only 25 screens at the beginning.

Although the relationship with the Westeros system is tense, the major North American paper media have shown a rather respectful and cautious attitude towards the film, including the theaters showing the film, which have specially given notices to remind the audience that this is not a movie A movie suitable for watching with popcorn, I hope that the audience entering the theater will maintain a certain solemnity and quietness to show respect for the unbearable history.

This is the greatest political correctness.

Of course there are no objections.

The critics who dare to criticize this film basically have one attribute, Jewish. A Jewish film critic in The New York Times has publicly stated that the most correct response to the Holocaust is to remain silent, not to put it on the screen for everyone to enjoy.

Perhaps the historical picture scroll in memory is too long and repetitive, and Simon's attitude towards the past is somewhat numb.

Just like his pessimism about the future of mankind in his bones.

The media with ulterior motives really hoped that Simon would make a statement on "Schindler's List", but unfortunately the related temptation failed to get any reply.

Simon Westeros has become more and more ubiquitous, but he himself has become increasingly rare in the public eye.

Because the 400 rich list in the United States in September stimulated the continuous rise of Westeros concept stocks, in November "Forbes" increased Simon's personal wealth by $10 billion when it counted the world's richest people.

Simon continues to buy properties all over the world, especially the 50 hectares of land around the Malibu Dumei Manor, which is almost the size of the Malibu Daenerys Studios. extravagant criticism.

The confrontation between Igret and traditional paper media caused by the 58list platform has also made many industries in the Westeros system the target of paper media’s sting, and eventually, it will inevitably turn to Simon himself.

The second Victoria's Secret show was successfully held in November, and the TV ratings were as good as the first season. The rise of the Angel Legion made many gossip tabloids to report the various scandals between Victoria's Secret Angels and Westeros. .

Daenerys Entertainment is about to go public next year. The success of "The Lion King" has once again raised Wall Street's valuation of this entertainment giant. After Daenerys Entertainment goes public, it will once again bring to Westeros. How much wealth has also become a hot topic of media discussion.

The various changes in the campaign funds of the Westeros system during the New York mayoral election also made the media speculate whether Simon Westeros broke with the Democratic Party. excessive intervention.

so many kinds.

Because it is powerful enough in itself, all of these actually have little impact on Simon's life.

After a few months of vacation time and a return to work, Simon quickly fell into a non-stop hustle and bustle.

"The key to the storyline of "Suicide Squad" is how to guide a group of evil and awe-inspiring villains to complete their tasks, and in the process, the villains can't become good people because of some small stimuli such as drinking and talking, doing so will appear Too old-fashioned, it is difficult to convince the audience logically, and more importantly, it has lost the essence of the 'Suicide Squad' group itself. If you want a good story, from beginning to end, they should be a group of all evils, no stand, even death No bad bastard."

"So, Suicide Squad leader Rick Flagg is the key?"

"That's right, according to the script, Rick Flagg killed the criminals pursued by the special team in order to avenge the sacrifice of his teammates, so he was kicked out of the army and recruited by Amanda Waller as the captain of the suicide squad. Very Fancy teammates, honest enough but not pedantic, good at coordinating and teamwork. These special features made the unruly criminals unknowingly ignore Rick Flegg from laughing and ignoring to approving and following him. We got the job done together."

Inside the office loft on the second floor of Daenerys Studios.

Terry Semel has

After staying here for an afternoon, I watched the last Batman trilogy "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" with Simon with Simon, and then turned to "Suicide Squad", which will start shooting in January next year. .

Actually, it's next month.

In order to prepare for this project, many members of "Suicide Squad" have rushed to Australia in advance, and the project will still be filmed in Australia.

After listening to the staff's presentation of the story version of "Suicide Squad", Simon and Semel came to a lounge area and continued the conversation about the film.

"Actually, I also studied the script carefully," Terry Semel took the coffee from Girl A, thanked him, and then said to Simon, "However, does Val Kilmer's coffee position take on this role? weaker?"

Simon shook his head with a smile: "I know what you're thinking, Terry. However, if Mel plays this role, do you think we'll get paid?"

Terry Semel was also a little helpless and said, "It's always possible to talk."

When casting the cast, Warner Bros. proposed that the role of Suicide Squad leader Rick Flagg be played by Mel Gibson.

Frankly speaking, Mel Gibson is very suitable for this role in terms of popularity, image and temperament. If possible, Simon will definitely welcome the other party to participate in this series.

The key is the question of pay.

Mel Gibson's current salary, asking less than 10 million US dollars, there is no need to continue talking.

If "Suicide Squad" is only going to make one film, maybe it can be a collaboration.

The point is that this is a trilogy series.

In the previous "Lethal Weapon" trilogy, from the second part, Mel Gibson took most of the project's profits in a row, and Warner Bros. just earned hard money and became a part-time job for a group of main creators.

Moreover, if it is just a question of remuneration, discuss it in advance, as long as it is not too outrageous, Simon can probably accept it.

There is also the issue of project ownership.

Mel Gibson is a very strong filmmaker who is not lacking in control. If he participates in this series, he will definitely strive for the dominance of the project, and then guide the plot to the side that is more conducive to his role, and even become a film. The standard 'Mel Gibson movie'.

"Suicide Squad" is a group play. The main actor is Rick Flagg, the leader of the team, but the villains such as the death shooter and the crocodile are equally important. The female characters will be even more brilliant, Nicole Kidman's Poison Ivy and Valerie Golino's Catwoman will all appear in this film, and Simon also took out the role of Harley Quinn for this.

Dead Archer, Crocodile Man, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and the villain The Sorceress, all of which are destined to be a one-man show for an actor. Forcing a big actor like Mel Gibson could eventually lead to an ending like The Incredible Hulk in the original time and space.

In contrast, Simon's choice of Fang Kilmer is just right.

The 33-year-old Fang Kilmer made his mark in "Top Gun", and then appeared in "The Storm", "The Gate" and other films. Until "Suicide Squad", the other side also had two outstanding works of "Tombstone Town" and next year's "Pirates of Fire" in the Christmas schedule, which is enough to ensure the popularity of this man and the balance between him and the other actors in the film.
