Hollywood Drawing

Chapter 1: 500 million

When the time comes to Saturday night, the high attendance rate, the film also began to appear a little different voices, especially the fans who have just finished watching the movie in the theater, there will always be people who give different opinions.

"My colleagues and friends around me are constantly telling me about this film, so I chose to lead my family to the theater to buy tickets and watch the film as soon as possible." A middle-aged white uncle with a beard, behind him Followed by the three children who were playing with Batman's peripheral equipment, they talked freely in the interview with reporters.

"You know, I want to bring the kids to the theater and see movies that make us feel happy, we come to the theater to relax, not to think deeply. The Dark Knight is so depressing. , the things described in it are also too deep, the movie did not bring me the joy I imagined, but made me feel the imperfection of this society."

"Hey Dad, you can't say that about The Dark Knight"

A child standing behind the middle-aged man was the first to refute his father without waiting for the reporter to say anything. "Dad, don't you think this is a movie worth watching again and again? My brothers and I agree, watching The Dark Knight is much cooler than watching those popcorn."

"Okay, as long as you like it..." The middle-aged man waved to the reporter and walked out of the theater with his three children.

The same voices are not many, but they do exist. Even the disappointed fans did not say that the movie "The Dark Knight" was bad, but admitted that it was a very good movie. Their disappointment is pretty much the same, because the movie didn't bring their weekend the joy it deserved.

In fact, there is no movie in the world that pleases everyone, and it is normal for different opinions to arise. Warner Bros. and Wayne had long anticipated a similar situation. After all, his previous films had always been polarized by the audience's reputation.

Compared with Wayne's previous works, the large number of family fans appeared this time is already an amazing gain, so in the face of those very few different voices, even if Warner Bros. Take it to heart.

The "Dark Knight" crew, under the leadership of Wayne and Charles Rowan, is conducting publicity roadshows in major cities in North America. Warner Bros. is also maintaining intensive publicity. The scene of the film is even hotter than expected. Finally, they can't wait to drive all potential audiences into theaters on the first weekend.

Especially in the past two years, after the release of new Hollywood films, the first weekend box office accounts for a larger and larger proportion of the total box office, while the film's release cycle is getting shorter and shorter, and it is rare to see a film now. In the case of maintaining a high rate of film scheduling in theaters, it has been shown continuously for half a year, or even a year.

This is basically the development trend of Hollywood movies, and other overseas movie markets are also the same development trend, and no one can change this.

Another point is that in the hearts of most executives at Warner Bros., the popularity of "The Dark Knight" can only last for a week. After all, the next weekend will be with Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2" Face to face, from the point of view of interests, they also want to harvest potential market potential as soon as possible.

Under the large-scale and high-intensity publicity and marketing methods, the theater company is also trying its best to cooperate with Warner Bros. strategy, and the result has not disappointed everyone. In the early morning, when the rough box office statistics were released, Warner Brothers and the theater alliance The senior executives all showed the same smug smile.

"Since "The Dark Knight" was officially released on a large scale this Friday, the North American theater market has continued to rise, changing the sluggish start of the summer season. After Wayne Greenberg won the Oscar for best director, he is still He is still proving his status as the king of the beginning of the summer.

After the "Dark Knight" took 84.36 million US dollars in the theater market on Friday, the attendance rate on Saturday did not decline as expected by experts, but was gradually rising. According to the latest information released by Warner Bros., "The Dark Knight" once again reported a box office of $68.8 million in the North American theater market on Saturday!

If you don't count the early box office of the movie's premiere on Sunday, this number is even higher than Friday's result. Two days after the movie's release, the total box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars, which is also the largest Hollywood record ever. On the verge of breaking the $150 million mark, Wayne Greenberg has once again set a record of his own.

The North American box office of 1503.16 million US dollars made "The Dark Knight" announce in advance the title of this weekend's box office champion on the second day of its release. Batman is crushing everything in the market. The affordability of the North American theatrical market, at least this weekend, no film can threaten the market position of "The Dark Knight".

The second place on the single-day box office list is the dark horse movie "The King of Big Talk" produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. This comedy starring Jim Carrey is of excellent quality. Since its release in late March, it has been maintained With a fairly stable box office trend, the past two days of this weekend have reported another $3.76 million, and the total box office has officially reached $180 million, and a seat in the top ten of the annual box office has been reserved.

And in third place for two days this weekend is Sony..."

Looking at "Premier", which was released this morning, Avi Adela's mood is quite complicated. The reason why this one of the most authoritative film media in Hollywood will issue an additional issue on Saturday The purpose of the special issue is to report the record-breaking box office performance of "The Dark Knight". The rankings are uncharacteristically, and a large amount of space is given to this movie, and other movies are only mentioned slightly. Speaking of it, Marvel and DC Comics, the old enemies, even if they are employees of the two comic companies, can't tell whether they are competitors or should be regarded as partners. Perhaps in the eyes of many comic fans, this is a pair of life-and-death rivals, but the actual situation is much more complicated, and the two companies have cooperated far more than competition before.

As long as you are careful, you can find from the two heroes that many comic heroes have similar settings. However, such a balanced relationship has changed after DC Comics was acquired by Time Warner Group. When DC Comics had the media resources and money of Warner Bros. as the backing, even though the comics industry had already entered a cold winter, they also avoided the appearance of the company. A situation on the brink of life and death.

Especially since the late 1980s, Batman has achieved unprecedented success on the big screen, giving DC Comics a more stable income channel, and even using the popularity of movies to drive the sales of comics and peripherals.

Compared with the well-fed DC comics, the Marvel comics here are much worse. Since the comic industry entered the cold winter, they have started to sell the film and television copyright of their characters more than once and in more than one batch, in exchange for it again and again. The company's hope of survival, until even the second- and third-tier heroes, Iron Man and Black Widow, were bought by Greenberg Studio. In fact, the remaining copyright in their hands has almost no particularly well-known characters.

Now, the amazing superhero finally has a chance to appear on the big screen. Avi Adela attaches great importance to Disney's conditions. It is a pity that he brought Stan Lee with him, thinking that the other party will watch in the The father of superheroes has given way to the reputation of the father of superheroes. Who knows the bad things is the father of his own superheroes.

Seeing what Batman has achieved, and thinking about the benefits this movie can bring, Avi Adela's heart is full of soreness.

The reason why he hopes that the superheroes of surprise will also go to the big screen is because when all the characters' copyrights are bought and sold, the contracts are very clearly marked. This number, if put on the Batman that is currently in theaters, will make him excited just by calculating.

Besides, as long as its superheroes can be successfully filmed, it means that the popularity of the movie will also drive the sales of their main business comics, which can effectively alleviate the operating pressure encountered by the company.

"Clang, clang, clang."

After a few knocks on the door, a white man in a suit walked in~www.wuxiamtl.com~ with a smile on his face, he extended his right hand enthusiastically. "Awei, you asked me to help you, and you owe me once."

"Hi, Kevin."

Avi-Adela hurriedly stood up and shook hands with the other party. After hearing his words, his frowning brows were gradually smoothed, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. "What's the situation? You've settled with Wayne's agent?"

"Well, an incredible box office achievement, isn't it?" Not in a hurry to answer the other party's eager question, Kevin Feige saw the "Premier" magazine on the table at first glance, and he obviously got the relevant news this morning. "Wayne once again proved to everyone that the superhero market has huge potential. Next, is our "X-Men" debut."

"It's 20th Century Fox's "X-Men"!" The bitterness in Avi Adela's voice was not concealed at all.

Embarrassedly shrugged, Kevin Feige stretched out a hand, patted the other's arm, his face straightened, and said solemnly: "After you called me, I passed the relationship and made an appointment. Wayne's agent Jimmy, the other side said that it's not impossible to talk about things, but..."

"What? But what? We can talk about it, is it Wayne Greenberg lion talking? Damn, he spent millions of dollars to buy the copyright, what does this greedy vampire want to do?"

"No, you think too much." Kevin Feige shook his head, thinking of the agent Jimmy who was comparable to an IRS official, he made a negative in his heart, this guy is more greedy than a vampire, thinking that the other party will give The solution he came up with, he felt distressed for the old friend on the opposite side.
