Ace Hollywood

Chapter 349: box office first

\"\"=\\'\')\"=\)\">

"Wall-E" was officially released on December 23. The film released the day before Christmas Eve includes it, and there are four works. Among them, "Munich" jointly launched by Universal and DreamWorks has also attracted much attention, except that its director is a top Hollywood director. In addition to the big director Spielberg, Daniel Craig also contributed a lot to the popularity of the movie. Visit hp://∮ at the copy address, and the opposition to his role as James Bond has increased unabated. Standing, organizing, protesting, calling on, etc., the activities are simply diverse and blooming everywhere, so this kind of enthusiasm is very important to the world. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know. Fox's comedy "Playing as a Pig and Eating a Tiger" is quite weak. The 1853 screen can only be said to be in line with its small and medium-cost treatment. The theater chain, and even Fox's distribution department, do not think this film can get better treatment. , after all, not every low-budget comedy is "The Greek Wedding" and "The Hangover."

In the old film, Disney's 200 million "The Chronicles of Narnia" is still strong. This is also the biggest rival of "Wall-E". Although it has been released for 2 weeks, Daniel can guarantee that if "Wall-E" does not perform as well as expected , which "temporarily" took from The Chronicles of Narnia will soon be returned, possibly even reposting a few screens. In addition, produced by Weta Digital, Peter Jackson's new work "King Kong" was released for 10 days, and has been struggling under the pressure of "The Chronicles of Narnia". The box office has accumulated to 95 million, and the cost of over 200 million In comparison, it is not a good performance. Universal's expectations for this film are quite high. The budget of 200 million is also Universal's highest investment film in recent years - unfortunately, the box office is not satisfactory. At the beginning, Peter wanted Weta Digital to participate in the investment, and even invited the film industry to join in, but Daniel refused. Now we can see the effect. Weta did not make much money from this vote, but it will not lose money. Universal Pictures may be . It also depends on overseas box office and other revenue. Jim Carrey's "New Money-grabbing Couple" was released two days ago, and the box office was only 7.5 million. Although the market has always been cold before the Christmas holiday, this number is indeed a bit low.

Of course, all of these films that are meant to be in the Christmas season are expected to perform for some time to come, and the current numbers will not be particularly concerned.

In fact, the Christmas holiday in the United States is only one day to one and a half days, usually half a day on the 24th and full day on the 25th, and this year it hits a Sunday. But many people are accustomed to taking their annual leave at this time, which is why the annual Christmas season has been formed and it has become a place for studios to compete. In addition to the purpose of the Christmas schedule, cartoons such as "Wall-E" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" are more important for the students' winter vacation, including Christmas and New Year's Day, for nearly a month, for cartoons to come Said, of course, is a high-quality schedule second only to the summer schedule.

"Wall-E" topped the list with 4,122 screens, beating "The Chronicles of Narnia" at 3,742. Take the top spot. The result of 23.16 million on the first day is far more than that of "The Chronicles of Narnia", which lacks stamina. The latter ranked second with 7.93 million, only 100,000 more than "King Kong". The status is shaky.

As soon as the box office came out on the first day, "Variety" claimed that "Wall-E" became the biggest beneficiary of the annual Christmas season.

"...There is no doubt that "WALL-E", which comes with all the expectations of animation, will be the best player in this year's Christmas season. Its biggest rival "The Chronicles of Narnia" was released for two weeks, facing "WALL-E" At the time of the impact, the motivation and sustainability of the challenge were significantly lacking. The b-score of "Wall-E" was stable at 9.3 points. It was also much higher than that of "Narnia"... We should be able to announce in advance that the animation's first animated feature film achieved success."

After Disney refused all interview requests for "as promised", it released a painless statement on its official website.

"We congratulate Wall-E on its first day—"

"We think The Chronicles of Narnia's quality and popularity has been proven by fans and the market, it is without a doubt a successful and well-made film, and we congratulate and thank everyone who worked on it - "

"The Christmas holidays are still going on, and we sincerely hope that fans who have not watched The Chronicles of Narnia will be able to enter the cinema to watch this work. We promise that this work that has taken many years and invested a lot of money will not be inferior to any other work. And you won't be disappointed—"

"Finally, I sincerely appreciate everyone's support and concern for Disney. We will adhere to the tradition of Disney animation and continue to launch high-quality animation works."

This not-so-clear statement can easily be interpreted into various wishes. However, in Daniel's view, Disney may not have the meaning of what the media said, although they refused to comment on similar analysis, but Indicates that Disney's attitude is in the statement that has been issued, and will not make a separate statement.

"Old Iger is probably not feeling well."

Because of the release of "Wall-E", Daniel's team did not have a holiday. Even Daniel himself, because of the empty window this year, two ex-girlfriends and a rumored girlfriend who had a spring breeze all made new love. Jessica Alba does not It is said that whether it is a partner or a partner, in the past few years, it has been changing like a beacon, on the one hand, there is no shortage of men - this is the truth, how can there be a lack of men at a wolf-like age. On the other hand, I have been trying to break through the current predicament. Selling face and body cannot sell for a lifetime. In the past few years, rising stars like Amanda Seyfried have gradually occupied half of the country. Jessica The status of the semi-red or purple is not very stable. She has to find some Wall Street small openings to bless her. Others are similar to Spanish stars, Hollywood actors, football captains, etc. The rich history of love is not something Daniel can match. Than.

Collins Polsh also had a spark of love with a young man in the company not long ago, and the media also paid attention to her. After all, she is Daniel's last girlfriend, especially now that Daniel is still single and empty boat Now, some people are willing to watch news such as Daniel's new love affair with Collins losing weight. The news of Daniel was not known from the media, but was told to him by Collins himself. The gentleman was originally Collins' assistant, and then that's what-because when he served as Collins' assistant, the relationship between Collins and Daniel still existed. During the period, so she called this phone, which meant some explanation. Daniel didn't think that Collins had put a hat on himself. The man must have been interested in Collins for a day or two. But Collins considers whether to accept it or not after they end their relationship, and Daniel still has this insight. Now that their business partners have extended into life, Daniel is of course still blessed, but he also sincerely discussed with Collins, whether it is himself or Collins, should spend more energy on managing relationships, otherwise even if it is Working partners, together every day, I am afraid that there may not be a good result in the end.

As for Natalie Portman. It can only be said that history cannot be reversed. Benjamin Millipede still caught up with this goddess. Fortunately, he didn't know about Natalie and Daniel's dance in the crew. When Miller heard the news, his face was very exciting. He looked at Daniel and froze for a while before he recovered. Daniel guessed that he should be roaring in his heart: People in your circle really know how to play. Daniel is not quite sure about his accident with Natalie. Was it a reason for Natalie to accept Benjamin?

Out of some dark thoughts of the boss, everyone worked in the company voluntarily, except that they left work two hours earlier on Christmas Eve.

"The Endless Gardener" and "Chainsaw 2" are still being released, and the box office of the former is in the millions of dollars per day. The battery life looks quite good, the total box office has exceeded 00,000, and it is destined to be impossible to exceed 100 million in North America. The Christmas schedule is coming. It basically went down after the first three days. But relative to the investment, of course, it still makes a lot of money, not to mention. Its performance in Europe and Africa is very dazzling, and the global box office has already exceeded 100 million. The latter has come to an end. The survival period of horror films is already short. The 182 million record of "Chainsaw 2" in North America is enough to disdain most similar films. The difference is not big, and the third part next year is still quite expected.

In addition to these two films, "Wall-E" is newly released and has a lot of work. Everyone was busy, and the Christmas season passed without realizing it.

When "WALL-E" officially broke 100 million on the 28th, and the whole Hollywood was excited for it, the whole team realized that most of the Christmas holiday had passed, and their annual leave had actually been closed. The release time has been determined very early, and it is not news that it is very busy at the end of the year. It is also a good plan to take a break early so that the holiday will not flow away.

At this time, Daniel has returned to the Caribbean Sea to complete the filming of the last part of "Pirates 2". This time, this time will continue until the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. If it goes well, he can come back to give a hug to Theo Gingma. field, but generally unlikely.

In the previously announced Golden Globe nomination list, it is not too surprising that Daniel was nominated for the best actor in the drama category. In fact, this year's Golden Globe Awards are quite stable, whether it is Russell Crowe of "Iron Fist" or "Carpo" Philip Hoffman of "Special" was already considered an awards season favorite. In addition, "The Immortal Gardener" was also shortlisted for Best Picture in the Drama Series, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director, with four heavyweight nominations second only to "Brokeback Mountain" with seven nominations, sweeping the decline of Venice. Re-emerging as a hot seed for awards season.

Daniel's Best Actor is still a hot spot for nominations, and it is the freezing point of winning awards. There is not much discussion about it. Only some are concerned about whether he can continue to be nominated for an Oscar, and see if the Golden Globe Award can be nominated for the Oscar for the fourth consecutive year for him. Add some chips. The most likely winner is, of course, Philip Hoffman, who played Truman Capote in the biographical film. A stunning appearance of the old actor was enough to win him a Golden Ball and even the subsequent Oscar.

However, the award for best actor, whether it is a drama or a musical comedy, is not a hot topic of discussion.

Rachel Weisz's nomination for Best Supporting Actress is not a small controversy. The heroine chooses a supporting actress. This strategy of reporting awards is not a new thing, but every time someone raises objections. So much so that the crew had to respond to repeated reports from the media, believing that Rachel's role in the film was indeed a supporting role, and that there was no such thing as a supporting role, and it was purely realistic. The media didn't want to kill Rachel, they just made news. After a wave of discussions, they let it go.

"Brokeback Mountain" is the biggest topic at this year's Golden Globes, no doubt about it. And the nomination of An Li and Vivienne has spawned the hot topic of Chinese.

Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", the father of Hong Kong's nonsensical comedy, and Cheng Kaige's "The Promise", who was famous in the world for "Farewell My Concubine", were both shortlisted for the best foreign language film. What's more, there are Vivian's nominations for drama queens and seven nominations for An Li, showing the Chinese style.

Here, Daniel did not intervene, and Harvey and Bob did a lot of tricks in it. He won the North American distribution rights for "Kung Fu" and "Wuji", hoping to use the golden ball to brush up the popularity, so that the box office can be higher. Moreover, this is also part of Harvey's China strategy. This man has a very strong reputation in the Chinese film industry. Some hate him and some love him, but as long as they are interested in the North American market, they can't get around him. , No way, other Hollywood power people, have no interest in Chinese movies, because they are unprofitable.

This is actually the reason why Daniel has not intervened so far. Chinese films are indeed lacking in quality, or in other words, there is a lack of works that can be bought by North American audiences. Good or bad is not a criterion. As a regular release, you must impress fans. Wallets, Chinese films currently, even ten years from now, lack this ability. However, the fate of Chinese filmmakers is very good. Fortunately, there are 1.3 billion people living in the land and culture where they are rooted. This is enough to feed their brains. and ability go hand in hand.

Of course Daniel had no intention of meddling with his own business.

Hollywood was chaotic, but the Caribbean was calm. Daniel had been filming here for more than 20 days, and several outpost awards were won by Fernando or Rachel. Basically, Rachel got more awards than him. Much bigger~www.wuxiamtl.com~ So she has attended many award ceremonies and her schedule is full, so there is basically no time when it is not feasible for her to take the lead. Rachel ran around with a five-month-old belly. Darren Aronofsky, who had broken up with her, was still talking about her, and was sprayed with blood by the media.

Theo Gingma, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was pushed up by Daniel, and the two have a very close relationship. So Theo set up and stepped over the phone without any pressure, and Daniel got calls from him almost every day in the last few days, and the topic of course he had to be at the awards ceremony - with Daniel Sandler's Golden Globes and without Daniel. Sandler's Golden Globes are two scenarios, and even the Oscars' organizing committee has been approaching them, albeit very secretly. The most direct impact is the ratings. Daniel rarely participates in TV shows, talk shows, etc. After revealing his commercial identity, he rarely participates in commercial activities, so the audience's degree of confidence in him is very high. appeared, and the boost to the ratings was very significant. Whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, there is a lot of pressure on ratings, ab or nb are the same.

So, hurry up and finally, after finishing the personal role on January 16, I returned to Los Angeles, only stayed at home for three hours, uploaded the prepared clothes, and set off directly to the Hilton Hotel. (To be continued..)

ps: I would be very grateful if you could give me a few recommendation votes, because it's far from twenty thousand? Not far!
