The release date of a Hollywood movie is very critical to the box office of the movie.

As early as the filming of the "One Shot" trilogy of movies, DreamWorks and Disney conducted careful research on the release date of the first part, and finally decided to release it on July 15, avoiding the "Fantastic 4" and Michael Bay's "Escape from Clone Island".

Among the movies released at the same time are John Depp's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Wedding Crashers" which received average reviews. These two movies were released at the same time as "One Shot", both of which were released on July 15. They all have the same goal, which is to do their best to get a good start within the three days of the weekend.

Regarding the box office speculation of these three movies, it is generally believed that "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is likely to win the championship. In fact, they also scored an excellent result of 55.38 million U.S. dollars. They were released in a total of 3,770 theaters at the same time. With their The combination of Tim Burton and John Depp is enough to shock the world.

[Wedding Crashers] The box office performance of this comedy movie is somewhat surprising. Although it was accused of creative plagiarism, the movie still took in a box office of US$32.25 million, ranking third in the weekend box office rankings.

What about [One Goal to Become Famous]?

The three-day box office over the weekend reached 58.72 million U.S. dollars, occupying the first place in the weekend box office rankings. Not only did it make a lot of money in terms of word-of-mouth, but it also joined hands with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to become the second-largest movie after "The Fantastic 4" Another film that surpassed the premiere revenue of films such as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Batman 5" and "Madagascar".

The movie market in 2005 was very hot, and after entering the summer, it only added fuel to the fire. Now the emergence of "One Goal to Fame" is even more eye-catching, especially this football movie, which has taken advantage of this summer, AC Milan and The opportunity for European giants such as Real Madrid to come to the United States can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As early as before, when the Audi Cup competition was promoted in the United States, many film critics speculated that with this shareholder, "One Goal to Fame" is likely to be a box office hit. This prediction was confirmed after the premiere. With its reputation soaring, it is even more recognized and expected by countless people.

When the box office for the three days over the weekend came out, the film industry was in an uproar. Everyone was surprised by the audience of this football movie in the American market. After all, this country is known as a football desert.

But no one thought that this was just the beginning.

In the second week of the movie's release, Michael Bay's "Escape from Clone Island" was also released, but it suffered a devastating failure. This luxurious science fiction film was released in 3,122 theaters, but only received 12.1 million. The US dollar box office ranked fifth on the weekend box office list, not even as good as "Fantastic 4" which was released for three weeks.

The top of the list is "One Shot", which has a decline of 20%. This movie continued to take a high box office of 47.01 million US dollars in the second weekend, surpassing "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with 28.3 million US dollars. , and "Wedding Crashers" with US$26.2 million, retaining the top spot on the weekend box office charts.

After these two weeks of release, the North American box office of "One Shot to Fame" has also reached a cumulative US$140 million, exceeding the previous expectations of the movie's box office of hundreds of millions.

In addition to being a hit at the box office, "One Shot to Fame" continues to maintain its previous favorable rating in terms of word-of-mouth. Countless fans who have watched this movie believe that this movie is very passionate and has profound connotations, especially All the deeds in the movie are impressive and have endless aftertaste.

Seeing the success of "One Shot" at the box office and word-of-mouth, DreamWorks and Disney also decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue to increase publicity and promotion of the film. At the same time, they shouted the slogan that the North American box office will exceed 300 million, because In the next period of time, after the failure of "Escape from Clone Island", there were almost no appeal blockbusters released.

In the following week, the decline of [One Goal to Fame] continued to be controlled at 30%.

The weekend box office reached 32.84 million U.S. dollars, defending the top spot in the North American box office rankings for three consecutive weeks. On the other hand, "Wedding Crashers" reversed "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and became the second place on the box office list with 20.47 million U.S. dollars, while "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" ] ranked third with US$16.38 million.

After the release of the weekend box office, film critics paid huge attention to "One Goal to Fame", believing that this movie will become the biggest dark horse this summer, because no one expected that this football movie could break through in 3 weeks. The box office of 200 million US dollars was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

And with three consecutive weeks of controlled decline, although in the fourth week, "One Goal to Fame" suddenly dropped by 50%, only received 17.13 million U.S. dollars at the box office, losing to "Justice"'s 30.57 million U.S. dollars, but the total The football movie, which has grossed nearly 240 million U.S. dollars at the box office, is on track to break the 300 million U.S. dollar mark.

With a cumulative box office of US$240 million in these four weeks, "One Shot" surpassed "War of the Worlds" starring Tom Cruise and became the second highest-grossing movie of the year, second only to " Star Wars: Episode 3], and then it depends on whether the year-end [Harry Potter] and the much-anticipated DreamWorks blockbuster [Narnia] can shake the record of [One Shot].

While achieving high box office in North America, "One Goal to Fame" also caused a huge football effect in other regions around the world, especially in Europe and South America. It almost triggered a wave of movie viewing, with a total of 370 million It has a huge box office of US$ 600 million, with the global box office exceeding US$ 600 million.

Although it lost to "Star Wars: Episode III", "One Shot to Fame" was able to achieve such an astonishingly high box office for a sports movie, which is already surprising in itself.

With the popularity of "One Goal to Fame", they instantly became the most famous football club in the world. This movie has simply become their best business card. According to the evaluation of the Ministry of Commerce, after the movie becomes a hit, it will become the most famous football club in the world today. The club with the most appeal also has the highest commercial value.

In addition to these, the hot sales of movies have also caused a sharp increase in the number of members. In addition, season ticket sales are also generally expected to increase. Fans' demand for ticket purchases has increased a lot, which will bring huge economic effects.

The great success of the first part has made both DreamWorks and Disney attach great importance to the situation of the second part. The second part has been filmed and will be transferred to post-production. However, considering the bottleneck of football movies, the film company does not feel that the second part will be released. If the second film can reach the heights of the first film, even if the box office is good, the reputation will definitely not be good.

Fans praised the first part of "One Goal to Fame" because of its unique history and rise experience, coupled with the club's unique business philosophy, which gave the movie a deeper connotation, which made it very popular. Good reviews.

But it is obviously impossible for the next two movies to further explore these points. Otherwise, this will no longer be a football movie, and purely commercial movies can only compete at the box office and use the World Cup wave for publicity. I believe It is still possible to reach the heights of the first part.

After the success of "One Shot to Famous", the discussion with Xiao Yu continued, especially Xiao Yu, who held the title of screenwriter, was taken seriously by many movie fans. Coupled with the wave of Eva Snow's new film, which has quietly started filming, has attracted much attention.

These two new films were specially written by Xiao Yu for her. They stole two of his favorite films that he had seen in his previous life, namely Johnny Johnnie's "The Detective" and Tang Yongjian's "The First Commandment".

Eva Snow has always been eager to direct works, but she has been unable to find a good script. Xiao Yu once mentioned these two stories to her before. She liked them very much and hoped that Xiao Yu would write them and she would write them. Directed.

The first movie confirmed to be filmed is "The First Commandment". This movie will star Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. The plot is similar to the previous life, but Xiao Yu has made slight changes. It is still a supernatural movie, but it is more... It is in line with the European and American style, especially the suspense at the end, which made everyone who read the script full of praise.

The filming of this film is almost completed and will be transferred to post-production. A trailer has also been released and will be released in the second half of next year. This will also be the debut of director Eva Snow and Xiao Yu’s real first film. He once ripped off a screenwriter, even though it was just plagiarism.

As for "Detective", the news has been released and the script has been almost written. However, Xiao Yu has never had time to revise it, so he has been putting it off. Fortunately, this is a movie specially made for Eva Snow, so No rush either.

However, with "One Shot to Fame", the husband-and-wife team of Xiao Yu and Eva Snow has attracted much attention, and "The First Commandment" and "The Detective" have also begun to attract the attention of movie fans.
