The second place is 42.83 million “Peak Time Billion”, the fifth place is 31.1 million “Air Crisis Billion”, and the third is the 36.7 million horror film “Exorcism Billion Billion” that is closer to the “Magic” genre.

According to the current momentum, there will be no surprises. The North American box office of “Magic” will definitely be more than 60 million; on the other hand, with the complete and mature distribution system of Flame Movies, its final total box office is undoubtedly 1 More than 100 million! Even 200 million …

At this time, in front of the nine-digit box office expectations. The 25 million buyout fee seems so insignificant. The 8.5 million “Mao” profits are so thin.

“A big dark horse in autumn”, “one of the most successful Sundance films”, “a classic case between independent film and industrial film” …

Yahoo Entertainment and other media have reported that the flames are cheering, and the box office report written by m.net Brandon Gray “Common Fresh Magic” says “Magic Yang has made young people have a great deal for” Magic “. Interest, and the movie did not disappoint them, the world once again saw the flame magic is not new “, who can think of it? Who can think of it? ! If it weren’t for Fire Movies, a low-cost movie that no one was interested in had such a dazzling light.

Take a look at the other movies of the week. Which one does not look more successful than The Magician?

The sports drama “Revival of the Ball” starring Dawn Johnson (pb30 million. Sony / Colombia), which resulted in a box office of 17.5 million and rotten tomatoes 42% / 31% / 84% in the first week. Consistently promoted, but he has not yet got a headline “,” His appeal has not grown “; the crime drama” Black Dahlia “starring All-Star lineups such as Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank (The-ka, PB 50 million, Universal). As a result, the opening box office was 12.82 million, rotten tomatoes 32% / 13% / 31%, and they were defeated. “Failed to meet industry expectations” …

Not only did it fail to meet expectations, the global senior executives simply burst into tears! It’s really miserable!

Rotten Tomatoes attributed “poor performances, puzzling stories. Weird film genre” to the cause of the fiasco of this ambitious black crime drama. Teacher “by comparison. It looked even more pitiful, and was completely bombarded.

This also makes its “kbuster (a low-cost obscure movie with obvious intent to deceive ng, and template movies have a type of title or theme, these movies are usually put on the video tape before and after the release of the template movie, “Markets or theaters such as DVDs” have the urge to “suicide” and found the wrong template! For example, the **** horror film “Black Dahlia” (ka, pb unpublished) of a shadow factory dedicated to this kind of business was originally thought to be After getting on the ride, I didn’t expect the car to roll over on the way.

The **** horror film “Black Dahlia” (kae, pb unpublished) with bloodshot images and the horror film “The Curse of Dahlia” (the-curse-of-the-ka, pb) Not announced). A lot of movies have teased “tbd” and said that maybe “bd”, “bdm” and “tbd” will be released on the theater, but they will be more popular.

In fact, the co-publisher behind Shadow Factory is Lion Gate Pictures, and Flame does not do business in this area. It has always been the object of people kbuster, such as the global containment of the “Da Vinci Treasure” that was just launched this summer. In the new film “I am the last one” (i-am-omega), this zombie doomsday film is also being filmed. It will enter the market before the release of “I Am Legend” next summer.

In this week, tragically there is “Little Baseball Hero” released by Fox, 6.84 million box office, 40% / 44% / 51%; and romantic love film “The Last Wěn” released by Paraméng, 5.93 million box office, 46 % / 48% / 59%.

When September 22-28 is a thing of the past, there is no chance for the film covered with the bad film logo to turn over in September, but there are more films for the losers.

MGM fully proves that the film industry is getting worse and worse. It continues to be mired in quagmire, despite the 1974 Oscar for Best Picture (“Cheat”) directed by Tony Bill, starring James Franco, Jean-Reynolds, and 60 million production costs of “Air Combat” The hero’s results were a mess, with only 7.59 million at the box office in the first week! 33% / 17% / 68% Rotten Tomato Index! MGM’s debt is a bit heavier …

Sony / Colombia, who did n’t have a long time in the breeze, also lost a lot of money, obviously directed by Steven Zelian (1994 Oscar best adapted script, “Schindler’s List”; two other script nominations) , Such as Sean Pan, Jude Low, Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson and other luxury card lineups. The 55 million production fee of “The King’s Party” received only a pitiful 4.68 million in the first week! 11% / 9% / 42% rotten tomato index! The dream of a big group forming an Oscar was shattered.

In fact, according to the data of 75% of the audience surveyed were over 35 years old and 53% of the audience were female. It can be said that no young people are interested in this line-up; it is “Foolproof Show 2” who took the weekly championship with 37.46 million, 70% of the audience are under 25 years old, and 65% are male ng. In addition, “Li Lianjie’s Huo Yuanjia” received a good 13.08 million; “Sleep Science”, which is rumored by Magic Yang, was also released. It lived up to the expectations of closing 560,000 yuan in an average of $ 40,497 in 14 theaters. Warner’s independence expanded immediately. Screening scale.

If any movie fails, there will be a pool of blood, then the box office rankings must be bloody. The film market is so elusive, the film itself is bad, and no big names are used; the film is excellent, and the box office has the opportunity to explode.

The dark horse “Magic” won the impressive 25.49 million in 3055 theaters (+198) next week! The average single library is $ 8,343. The box office only jumped 21.2% while taking advantage of the trend. After two weeks, the total box office is already 64.72 million! According to analysis by multiple agencies, its North American box office is expected to exceed the 90 million mark.

“‘Idiot’ violently hits the top of the list”-m.com box office report, Brandon Gray’s article said “” Magic “continues to attract attention,” It is a model of independent film, this is why we Fancy it. ”Mark Srant of Flame Movies said,“ We ​​all yearn for mystery. Magic is undoubtedly a very mysterious thing around us, and it makes young audiences feel cool. ”Wang Yang is the most understood what is cool today. People, Young added, “The success of” Magic “is not surprising, it is a movie that allows you to calm down and watch.” “

Countless people around the world can not help but sigh, ff is indeed a miracle wholesaler. Miracle Young went to Park City and it was not just skiing, but another big baby!

He Niuyan Company has become a dumb dumb company. From “Crash” to “Magic”, almost the same trajectory and ending. Bob Yaryi and others who have been happy for more than half a year quietly regretted it. They had known for a long time that it would be beneficial to do business with Flame, but often they would eventually Feeling big, really! They can’t help but think that if they try to distribute themselves, even if the rookie distribution system is bad, it is estimated that they can receive a global box office of about 100 million! Then there will be more money to expand, really lost because of small …

Although ff asked about the intention of a merger and acquisition, the senior executives of Yarui Bullseye did not agree. They have made up their minds that if the company will work together next time to produce any movie that ff is watching, they will definitely not agree to sell it, forever. Do not! No one, no company! They want to issue it themselves!

However, it is clear that Yarui & Bull’s Eye will not be able to invite Neil Borg to direct the new film in a short period of time. After the continuous success of “Kennedy Assassination Certificate” and “Magic”, Borg, who can write and direct, officially entered the Hollywood hottest One of the cutting-edge directors, this old man looks promising, but other interested filmmakers cannot be invited, because ff had plans with him early.

For the good results of “Magic”, the flame of confidence must have been expected, so it is not surprising that this new plan announced to the media, “Endless”!

Due to the small amount and the need to produce high-quality products, no matter the large production or small cost of the new film project of the flame, there will be a lot of attention from the outside world in the industry. The flames who saw the news are excited to read it.

“Tless” is adapted from the Irish writer Alan Green’s 2001 science fiction thriller “the-dark-elds”, the novel tells a New York publishing house’s advertising text writer Ai Di Spinola had no intention of getting and taking an experimental ng “medicine” called “mdt-48”. This kind of “medicine” can make people continue to become highly intelligent, creative, and learning, Eddie has been alive since then, but the good times are not long, and the negative effects of “medicine” things follow …

According to the currently published information, the project is finalized and directed by Neil Borg, Bradley Cooper. Starring Eddie, it will be a 30 million cost budget movie, scheduled to be released in October 2008 ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Dark Domain is not well-known, and it is not so big that the title of the adapted film will be different. The name, on the other hand, is to be different from “Dark Knight” which appeared in the summer of 2008, so that it is not regarded as kbuster by the audience.

Not many movie fans have seen this novel, but of course there are, some people suspect that although this novel has some commercial ng gimmick elements such as chasing, finance, etc., but the overall is very serious, telling how a person faces And to get rid of his own dilemma, this story can become a literary or commercial film. In fact, even Allen Green can’t figure out how to prepare the flames?

“We already have plans.” Ff had expected this, and spokesperson Foona-Hassen told the filmers on the official website: “This novel is very attractive, with rich elements, almost every one can Take it out and make it into a movie separately, and our goal is to combine them to make a thrilling suspense movie with a compact plot, a bright rhythm, and a tense atmosphere. In some ways, it will be very similar to “t-21-team” . There is no doubt that Neil Borg will finish the job. “

In any case, movie fans do n’t think it ’s true that “Endless” will fail. When will the flames really mess up? Could it be that the two chainsaw fathers lost the chainsaw hun4? The answer will be announced on October 27. ! .
