Hollywood Starts with Animation

Vol 2 Chapter 683: 3 film companies melee

Hunting for novelty is a group of mentalities, and for Western movie audiences in the United States, they have no shortage of such people. The movie "Chain Saw" turned out to satisfy the curiosity of these people.

A morbid and crazy murderer;

All kinds of weird and terrifying ways of killing;

A significant central theme;

Wait, these combined constitute a brutal and **** horror movie, which will greatly stimulate the audience’s senses and make some audiences feel "disgusting" and "unacceptable", but this is for horror movies. , What you want is this effect.

The more disgusting and bloody...the more they like it!

"I think it's okay."

A teenager named Archie left a message on the forum as soon as the movie was over: "I don't think the movie is too much, on the contrary, I feel that it is not enough. Horror movies, there are no **** scenes, they are still called horror movies. What? And, as far as I know, after the filming of "Chain Saw" was completed, the American Film Association gave it a rating of NC-17, and Wald Pictures cut a large number of scenes before it was awarded the R rating. Classification."

"Oh my God!"

"I want to see the content that has been cut a lot!"

This message has more than 2,000 likes, and you can see how hot the movie is.

Cut out fragments?

This term has fatal appeal to many movie audiences.

People, that's it.

The more you ban things, the more interested they are.

"The content after a large number of deletions is so wonderful, I am very eager to see this part of the deleted content!"

This is a message from many people.

Wald Pictures’ official work is not procrastinating. This is not a timely update on the official website: “I solemnly promise that the DVD version of "Chain Saw" will provide this part of the content that has been deleted."

The theater version has many limitations...

But for the offline DVD version, there are not many restrictions. Therefore, if not surprisingly, Wald Pictures will once again make a fortune in offline DVD sales.

......

Wold No. 1 shooting base.

The set of the crew of the movie "The Day After Day".

Zhuke sat behind the director's monitor, taking advantage of the filming break, chatting with the film's director Roland Emmerich.

"Mr. Wald, congratulations. I just saw the report. Your company’s movie "Chain Saw" has a box office of $22.5 million in the first three days of the first weekend and won the North American box office this weekend." Emmerich Said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke smiled and waved his hand: "This can only be considered good."

Emmerich: "This can only be considered good? Mr. Wald, if your words are heard by people from other film companies, they will not be ashamed and angry. My God, don't forget, this one The production cost of the movie is only worth more than one million dollars, what else do you want?!"

I have to say that these compliments made Zhu Ke very useful.

"Roland, I plan to let James Win leave the crew for a week." Zucker said suddenly.

"Uh?"

Emmerich froze for a moment, and then said, "Is it because of the promotion of the movie "Saw Cry"?"

"of course!"

Zhuke nodded: "In the beginning, the company set the box office position of "Chain Saw" at a total of US$12 million in North American box office, but now? Good guy, the box office for the first three days of the first weekend alone exceeded US$22.5 million. We have imagined it, so of course we must increase our publicity now."

What can Emmerich say?

He naturally agreed!

Roland Emmerich is the director of the movie "The Day After Day" and James Wynn is the deputy director of "The Day After Day", but the entire crew is completely in Zhuke's hands. In fact, removing James Wen from the crew and going outside to promote "Saw Cry" was just a matter of Zucker's word, and there was no need for director Emmerich's approval at all.

Zhuke asked him... to give him respect.

......

A few days later.

As Wald Pictures increased the publicity and distribution of the movie "Chain Saw", the main creators, including the film's director James Wynn, are also on TV shows and appearing in various parts of North America.

All of this makes the box office of the movie show an upward trend.

After achieving a box office result of US$22.5 million in three days during the first weekend, in the next few days, they achieved box office results of US$3.7 million, US$3.3 million, US$2.9 million, and US$2.75 million respectively.

In a complete week, "Chain Saw" North American box office reached 35.15 million U.S. dollars!

It is not comparable to the box office bomb of more than $110 million in the first weekend of "Spider-Man";

Not as arrogant as the Marvel superhero movies;

Not as good as the 3D movie storm brought by "Avatar";

......

It can be said that there are too many films produced by Hollywood that are better than "Chain Saw", and they can be counted as countless.

but!

With a production cost of more than one million US dollars, a movie that can achieve more than 35 million US dollars in box office results in just one week is absolutely rare and absolutely amazing!

"Chain Saw" can be called a box office miracle!

At least, many horror film lovers like it very much;

At least, Wald Pictures made crazy;

At least, my colleagues are so envious that my back molars are bleeding;

"How many box office results will it get when it is drawn?"

——This is the topic that many people are paying attention to recently.

An executive from Nielsen, a well-known data analysis company, said: "I subsidized the box office that "Chain Saw" can finally get. It may be 50 million U.S. dollars ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ may be 80 million U.S. dollars, or even It's hundreds of millions of dollars. But I have to say that in the April schedule, it is not without rivals!"

"Whether "Chain Saw" can go further depends on its opponent-"Scorpion King"!"

That's right.

Today is another Friday.

Well, on April 17, the movie "The Scorpion King" created by Universal Pictures, the film known as "The Mummy: The Prequel", will be officially launched in 2460 cinemas in North America today.

James Jacks, a producer at Universal Pictures, said in an interview with the media: "We are not afraid of "Chain Saw". The person who should be afraid and worried should be Wald Pictures. Don’t forget, our movie is a prequel to "The Mummy", and we have a huge fan base, enough for us to beat all our opponents!"

The voice fell.

Numerous media reporters nodded frequently and agreed.

They admit that "Chain Saw" is a very good horror and thriller film, but you must also understand that the audience of this part of the movie is ultimately a minority, and the audience is far less than the magical blockbuster "The Scorpion King.

The box office ceiling of horror and thriller movies is too obvious!

Two companies, Universal Pictures and Wald Pictures, are bound to fight in order to compete for the box office.

Similarly, just two days after the release date of "The Scorpion King", the "Observations" movie released on April 19 was produced by Touchstone Pictures and released by Disney Group.

This means that in the next few weeks, the three film companies will be in a hot situation.

Whether "Chainsaw Cry" can go further at the box office depends entirely on whether Wald Pictures can withstand the offensive of the other two companies.
