The Best Entertainment Era

Early on Monday morning, in a reception room of Relativity Entertainment, Liam Neeson was flipping through a newspaper, waiting patiently for Ronan to come over.

When he first joined the company, he watched it specially, and it seemed that Relativity Entertainment was holding a regular meeting.

Liam Neeson is not in a hurry, and the newspaper has a lot of news that he cares about, such as Taken, which was just released last weekend.

This is the first time he has done so many very tricky and skillful action scenes.

It is completely different from the soft dancing of Kui Gang Jin holding a fluorescent stick.

Taken tops the North American box office!

Just seeing this title puts Liam Neeson in a good mood. Who doesn't want the film he starred in to win the box office championship?

Besides, as a father in real life, he really likes this movie.

Human traffickers are everywhere, but Dad Secret Service isn't for everyone.

The overall trend of the North American box office last week was relatively stable. The total value of the box office list increased from nearly 130 million US dollars last weekend to 134.6 million US dollars this week. The two new films Taken and The performance of Maid in Manhattan has its own merits, and the action movie Taken, produced by Sandsea Entertainment and distributed by Embassy Pictures, took the crown of champion.

This is also the fourth North American box office champion for a film released by Embassy Pictures this year. In 2002, the four films produced by Relativity Entertainment's Shahai Entertainment and released by Embassy Pictures all won the North American box office championship in the weekend of release. !

Despite the limited number of films produced by Relativity Entertainment, the results are impressive!

Liam Neeson thought about it, except for Taken, which just won the box office championship, the first three seem to be Resident Evil, Underworld and Death Comes 2.

This theory of relativity entertainment is obviously taking the boutique route.

He had roughly read a statistic before. Although he didn't remember it clearly, the global box office of Resident Evil and Underworld seemed to be around 160 million US dollars, and the global box office of Reaper 2 was gradually approaching 2. million dollars.

Including operations outside of theaters, the total revenue of these three films will not be less than the sum of the global box office.

Liam Neeson thought about it. Among the second-tier Hollywood companies this year, Miramax is definitely not as good as Relativity Entertainment. Summit Entertainment itself adopts a strategy of spreading the net, and its profitability is actually mediocre.

In other words, New Line Pictures and DreamWorks can be ranked ahead of Relativity Entertainment.

New Line Films will release The Two Towers next month. Judging by the sensation caused by The Fellowship of the Ring last year, The Two Towers is bound to be a hit at the box office.

Needless to say, DreamWorks, apart from having no distribution channels outside of North America, is in the absolute second-tier Hollywood position in other respects.

Even in the past two years, it has faintly threatened the tail of the first-tier companies in terms of movies.

But in comparison, Relativity Entertainment was established the latest, and Ronan Anderson had the lowest qualifications compared to Spielberg and Robert Shea. It is very rare to be able to achieve this level of the company.

Anyway, he asked himself that he didn't have the ability.

Liam Neeson went on to read the paper.

Action themes have always been a popular genre of movies. If you want to say that the most popular action movie in the past two years, The Bourne Bourne initiated and produced by Ronan Anderson must be counted. This movie not only has a fierce box office, but its portable DV filming, fast and fierce joint fighting, fighting without sloppy nonsense, etc. are all talked about by movie fans.

After The Bourne, this ferocious action element gradually began to affect other action movies, leading to the decline of foreign kung fu routines directly in Hollywood. The Taken produced by Ronan Anderson benefited from the Produced by the same production company, it has inherited this excellent factor very well, and the fighting scenes from fist to flesh are dizzying and dazzling.

Strictly speaking, this Taken should be said to be a follow-up of The Bourne.

But one thing to note is that this following trend is not derogatory, on the contrary, this trend is very individual.

Liam Neeson's a lot of action scenes in the film have conquered many fans. After watching it, many viewers have given a very high evaluation of the action scenes of Taken.

Driven by 3,120 theaters, Taken earned US$43.38 million in three days during its opening weekend, easily topping the North American box office rankings. The second place was occupied by Die Another Day in the second week of its release. The amount was 29.1 million US dollars, and Maid in Manhattan, which also started painting this week, earned 17.8 million US dollars, ranking third...

Liam Neeson focused on the word-of-mouth of the film.

In terms of evaluation, 11,458 users of IMDB scored 8.3 points, and 2,076 movie fans at the Cinema site gave a comprehensive score of A, but the reputation of movie critics is not good. Fifty-eight.

At the end, Liam Neeson scratched his head a little, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

This kind of film is not made for film critics, and it doesn't matter if they have good or bad reviews.

As a veteran actor, Liam Neeson is very clear that there is only one standard in Hollywood to measure the film and the main creators-commercial performance.

If Taken is a big success, his worth, status and fame will inevitably skyrocket.

Liam Neeson finished reading the newspaper and waited for a while. Ronan knocked on the door with a document bag.

It's been a long time, Liam. Ronan shook hands with him and said, Today is Monday, and the company has a lot of business.

Liam Neeson said with a smile: It's okay, I came a little early.

The two sides agreed to meet at ten o'clock, but he came before half past nine.

Ronan was in a good mood and said: Our film has achieved great success, and a sequel will be on the agenda soon.

Liam Neeson knew the various benefits that the series of movies could bring him, and said directly: I have no objection to continuing to play Brian. Ronan, you can just ask someone to talk to my agent directly, and I will do it later. Talk to your broker.

Yes. Ronan also seemed very happy: Lim, I hope we can cooperate for a long time in the future.

Behind every big-name star or director in Hollywood, there is a long-term cooperation film company. Liam Neeson is a veteran of Hollywood, so he naturally knows this and said: I also hope to have a long-term cooperation.

Ronan smiled and said, Lim, there are two sequels after Taken, both of which have a lot of action scenes. I hope you can keep exercising to cope with the action scenes.

No problem, Liam Neeson said.

Ronan handed the file bag to Liam Neeson: There is a character here, you can go back and have a look first, if you are interested, we can work together again outside of the Taken series.

Liam Neeson was a little puzzled: This is...

Ronan said directly: I have basically negotiated with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and the Batman movie will be restarted soon. The information I gave you is about Bruce Wayne's teacher, Master Ninja.

Negotiations for the Batman movie have come to an end. Christopher Nolan has also greeted Ronan, and he is the first producer. He has the final decision on actors. The role of Master Ninja is of course the first choice. It's Liam Neeson.

Liam Neeson said: I'll read the information first, and we'll talk about the details later.

It is impossible for him to take the next role without knowing the role and the project.

Ronan would not force it, and said, Yes.

Regarding the other rescue series, Ronan has not mentioned it for the time being, and it is too early to say these.

Of course, as long as the sequel to Taken goes well, Liam Neeson will definitely be pushed on the road to the God of Rescue.

Save your wife, save your daughter, save the sky, save the earth, save the air.

This will allow Liam Neeson to realize his self-worth, and Relativity Entertainment can also profit from it.

Thinking back to Liam Neeson in his previous life, he trained Batman, Jedi Knight, Zeus, wolf fighting with bare hands, and Lion King Aslan...

The climax of life is to spend one's life saving others.

Liam Neeson's rescue universe has already kicked off with Taken.

The trend of the film in North America is relatively stable, but it still suffered a certain impact in the second weekend. After all, the Harry Potter series produced and released by Warner Bros. is in the limelight, even if the response of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is far less than the previous one. A Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone still had a certain impact on other films screened at the same time.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets took the top spot at the box office with $83.4 million, and Taken slipped to second place, but the box office of $24.2 million in the second weekend is enough to ensure that the film will continue to be shown in a stable trend.

Including the harvest of the previous four working days, the North American box office of Taken reached 81.24 million US dollars.

This film has a stable trend and a good reputation among audiences. It is very hopeful that the total box office in North America will hit 200 million U.S. dollars.

In addition to North America, Taken was also screened in 30 other countries and regions outside of North America this weekend. The UK received US$11.32 million in the first weekend, France received US$9.81 million, and Germany also received US$8.89 million...

In the first weekend overseas, the overseas box office of this film was as high as 38.71 million US dollars.

In the next month, Taken will be screened in more than 80 countries and regions around the world.

Its global box office is estimated at more than $300 million.

After reading various market statistics, Ronan is basically relieved of Taken, even if there is a sharp drop in the future, the film can still be profitable at the box office.

Taken can be said to be a movie that successfully integrates many elements.

For example, the action design combines the essence of kung fu, fighting, muay thai and boxing.

More and more Hollywood movies are beginning to try to integrate cultural and ethnic elements from all over the world into their creative styles. Diversification and integration of other excellent cultural elements will also be the development trend of Hollywood movies.
