The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 483: Opening Record

On Sunday morning, Ronan saw Jessica Felton's reminder email and responded specifically.

What I have to say is that Jessica Felton is indeed a very capable woman, and she actually saw one of the most critical elements of the Super Hero League plan.

Once The Avengers was able to be a big success, the foreshadowing of the previous individual movies was very important.

If those six people were directly included in a movie, it is estimated that there would be only one result.

I'm afraid many viewers don't even know who Thor, Black Widow and Hawkeye are.

Later, the Justice League movie project of Warner Bros. and DC Comics also made a big mistake on this one.

Needless to say, Raiders from Heaven.

Frankly speaking, how many young audiences today remember who the characters are before seeing the movie? Where did it come from?

The director and producer of this film really overestimated the literary literacy of most audiences.

After processing some mail, George Clint came to Ronan's office.

The executive officer of Sand Sea Entertainment has a happy face, which is pleasing to everyone.

Have you seen Saturday's box office? George Clint opened his chair and sat opposite Ronan: There are data reports in the office software.

Ronan opened the homepage of the office software and said, I haven't had time to read it yet.

George Clint said directly: US$26.78 million! In just two days, the North American box office of Pirates of the Caribbean exceeded US$50 million!

Ronan had already seen it, and said, It met expectations in two days.

Since Pirates of the Caribbean is an original non-sequel movie, Ronan and Embassy Pictures' opening weekend expectations are between $50 million and $55 million.

But the appeal of this film is too great.

A good movie that meets the needs of most audiences is a movie that can sell well at the box office.

For studio bosses and producers like Ronan and George Clint,

With a production budget of US$140 million, the first priority is of course the box office performance.

All the rest is secondary.

The box office is a big hit, and the peripherals are hot. George Clint feels that everything brought by Pirates of the Caribbean is simply a dream.

The pirate movie that was despised a few days ago has become the hottest movie on the market. It is estimated that even the screenwriters who like to open their minds the most cannot write such a script.

But the reality is more bizarre than the plot of the movie. Who would have thought that the pirate movie would come back to life in such a vigorous way?

Afterwards, the topic of the two turned to Shahai Entertainment's other film projects that are being prepared or filmed.

For example, the crew of Night at the Museum has been established and is recruiting directors; for example, the crew of When Happiness Knocks on the Door went to Chicago for the final stage of preparation, and it is expected to start filming in September; for example, Wedding Crashers has also been put on the schedule , Owen Wilson is currently identified as one of the leading actors.

There are also sequels such as Resident Evil 2, Underworld 2, Reaper 3 and Fatal Turn 3 and other sequels have been filmed, and all of them have entered the post-production stage, which will not delay the release next year.

In addition, Zach Schneider has also signed a director contract with Sandhai Entertainment for three films, and Sandhai Entertainment and producer Eric Newman are forming a crew.

The film's schedule was also selected in 2004.

After two days of screenings, the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean has fully fermented. Every day in North America, millions of viewers buy tickets to enter theaters to watch this film.

In Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, Los Angeles, Greymane stood in front of the Jack Sparrow poster in front of the theater, and asked his companions below the steps loudly: Is this location okay?

The companion holding the camera waved his hand and said, A little further to the left!

Greymane was dressed in standard pirate captain attire, with a machete in his left hand and a compass in his right. He also wore smoky makeup. At first glance, it looked as if Captain Jack Sparrow had left the Caribbean Sea and landed in America.

The companion with the camera was just about to press the shutter when someone suddenly shouted: Wait! Wait for me!

A man in Will Turner's attire ran over quickly, grabbed Jack Sparrow's shoulders, and said, How can the pirate captain be without the little blacksmith as his companion?

Another companion looked at the time and reminded: There are still fifteen minutes to start, hurry up!

Jack Sparrow and Will Turner quickly put on their poses, and asked their companions with cameras to take four or five photos in a row, and then they walked into the theater contentedly.

Bryan, I thought you weren't coming. Greymane said.

Another companion patted the shoulder of Brian, who was dressed as Will Turner, and asked, Didn't you just watch it yesterday? Why are you fighting for seats with those of us who watched it for the first time?

Bryan directed the disaster to Greymane: He watched it for the third time today, and I only watched it twice!

Entering the theater, the companion with the camera took the initiative to buy tickets, and everyone else waited patiently.

The looks of Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, although weird, didn't attract much attention at all, because there were too many crazy fans in the theater, dressing themselves as pirate captains.

Standing at the entrance of the hall and looking over, there are twenty or thirty people wearing pirate hats.

This is also a tradition of North American movie fans. The most ardent fans often dress up as their favorite characters and appear at corresponding movie screenings.

Corresponding to the hot release of Pirates of the Caribbean, this film is completely applauded among ordinary movie fans.

Among them, the impressions written by ordinary movie fans on IMDB are undoubtedly the most representative.

Pirates of the Caribbean will definitely become a classic entertainment film, smooth story, intensive fighting and funny, Hans Zimmer's classic soundtrack, crazy lazy, drunk, orchid-fingered Captain Jack, Depp is too charming and domineering , the love between a beautiful and rebellious aristocratic girl and a poor boy, a group of skeleton villains walking on the bottom of the sea, cannonballs between pirate ships and rushing through huge waves, and the captain mobilizes his men to set sail after boarding the ship, full of Disney's childlike innocence for fantasy adventures, shocking .”

Depp and Bale play two of the most charismatic characters, outshining the entire story, where the femininity of the pirate meets the majesty of the blacksmith.

I don't think there should be too many action scenes in a pirate movie, but after watching it, the balance of action and drama is quite in place. Of course, there are also many interesting scenes interspersed between action and drama. Some really good special effects also add to the fun of this movie. If you like action movies you will like this, if you like comedy you will like this, this is a top entertainment movie: plot, action, adventure, humor It came together so perfectly!

The first week of screenings of Pirates of the Caribbean is still going on. Although it didn't hit the box office like last year's Spider-Man, it also attracted enough audiences.

The day passed quickly on Sunday, and the night followed. Among the popular theaters located in good locations, the number of viewers did not decrease at all, and more than half of them were directed at Pirates of the Caribbean.

Under normal circumstances, due to the need to go to work the next day, the number of audiences in theaters on Sunday night will be significantly lower than that on Saturday nights, but many theater operators have found that the number of audiences tonight is very limited compared to last night.

As soon as he went to work on Monday morning, Michael Eisner had just walked into his office on the top floor of the Disney headquarters building. He turned on his computer and logged on to the boxofficemojo website to check the box office of the movie he was thinking about.

The North American box office briefing for the most recent weekend is on the right side of the website, so you can see it at a glance!

Ranked at the bottom of the briefing column, that is, the fourth place on the box office list is the dance film Angels 2, with a box office of 13.21 million U.S. dollars in the second weekend; the third place belongs to Warner Bros. Raiders, with a box office of 16.5 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. ; Occupying the second place is Terminator 3 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a box office of 17.8 million US dollars in the second weekend.

The box office results of these three films are not very good, obviously being impacted by competitors.

And this competitor is Pirates of the Caribbean, which stands at the top of the box office list.

Even Michael Eisner gasped when he saw Pirates of the Caribbean opening weekend figures -- $72.1 million!

This opening score seems to be second only to films such as Spider-Man, X-Men 2, Attack of the Clones, Finding Nemo and Bourne Shadow 2, and it can definitely be ranked among the top ten in North America. bit.

But those films are either adaptations or sequels, and the only non-sequel original work was made by those gangsters from Pixar.

Thinking of Pixar Studios, Michael Eisner couldn't help feeling depressed. Steve Jobs has been making trouble for him recently, and his voice is getting louder and louder. If there is a chance, he must get rid of this bastard!

What is depressing is that Steve Jobs has always tightly held 51% of Pixar's shares, regardless of Pixar studio financing or stock expansion.

Michael Eisner shook his head, thinking back to Pirates of the Caribbean.

One thing is certain, Pirates of the Caribbean has set a record for the opening of a non-sequel original live-action film in the North American film market.

Based on the word-of-mouth and first weekend box office analysis of Pirates of the Caribbean, how much will the final North American box office be? Two hundred million dollars is definitely not the end, is it?

Michael Eisner has indeed been very inflated in recent years, but there are still basic judgments. The North American box office of Pirates of the Caribbean is estimated to be more than 300 million or even 350 million US dollars.

Who would have thought that this pirate movie could be so successful!

Michael Eisner couldn't help sighing when he thought of what he had said before. He was on this film, and he lost his eyes.

If you miss it, you can miss it. Michael Eisner has been through the mall and doesn't care about it.

He has always considered only one thing, how to use Pirates of the Caribbean to benefit Disney.

In this respect, Michael Eisner is still a qualified professional manager.
