With such a high rating, “Green Hornet” won the first week at the box office championship is really not surprising, especially ff has been vigorously promoting it for a long time. Another successful movie produced by Wang Yang! Flame’s winning streak continues to expand!
I received 98.51 million in the first week! The average single theater of 3560 theaters is $ 27,671, and the proportion of audience under the age of 25 in the scattered data survey exceeds 55%, which is very popular among young people! Among them, it set a new record for the highest opening weekend box office in March (708 million), which was just set by “Spartan 300 Warriors” with 71.54 million; at the same time, it became the second superhero-comedy film, second only to 261 million cartoon “Superman Commando”.
Then the second week of March 23-29. Despite being besieged by six new films, “Green Hornet” still won the weekly championship with 47.67 million (-51.6%). It broke 100 million at the opening 8 and was 146 million in 14 days. After adding 162 million overseas box office, the total box office in the world is 308 million, which is like a rainbow!
In this era of hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs, the production cost of “Green Hornet” 120 million is not high, and it has already easily recovered the cost. In the face of such good results, as well as the expectations of fans around the world, the flame film must consider the plan of “Green Hornet 2”. The biggest problem with the shooting sequel is undoubtedly the return of personnel. Green Hornet and Keto are unable to Replacement, they can’t think of anyone more attractive than those two old guys.
Negotiations will take time, but it looks promising.
Kim-Kerry was really in a good mood. He played the riddler in Batman Forever (1995). Although everyone was impressed, its box office was also very good, but it had a mixed reputation. A few years later “Batman 4” is finished, but fortunately he did not participate; now “Green Hornet” is both selling and applauding, creating a new box office record for his personal film in the first week (previously 67.95 million for “Fake God”), it is simply With a beautiful comeback on comedy, he seems to have no reason to refuse the sequel.
So the problem is actually with Zhou Xingchi. He has some autistic dictatorships on the set. If there is no reconciliation of Old Cork and the decision-making prestige of Magic Yang, maybe he and Kim-Kerry have fallen out, but this does not mean that he “Green Hornet 2” is full of enthusiasm, especially when he doesn’t want to direct. Despite this, things are still moving on a pleasant track, which really depends on the status of the flame film and Bruce Lee’s significance to the “Green Hornet” series.
In ff’s initial plan, Steve Odecock took over “Kung Fu Panda 2” after he was busy with “Kung Fu Panda 2”, and then served as the director of the sequel; the director of “Kung Fu Panda 3” would enable others.
There are box office at Magic Yang and box office at Zhou Xingchi. It is natural that “Green Hornet” landing in Mainland China theater is the most suitable. As long as the poster “Wang Yang Production. Starring Zhou Xingchi” is printed on the poster, the audience will definitely be one after another. The plot rushed to the screening room. In fact, China Film Group has long coveted it. The introduction matters have been determined for a long time, and various media have been promoted prosperously. Fans and audiences are dispatched on a large scale at any time!
However, it was not released at the same time. If it was not for a long time, high-definition piracy would affect the box office. Both Zhongying and Flame hope to be released in May, and now it is released two weeks later to Saturday, March 31. Critical point!
When March 30-April 5 passed, the sports comedy “Blade of Honor” took over the North American Week champion with 45.38 million, but its rotten tomato index was only the third week of “Green Hornet”, which was quite satisfactory. 24.45 million (-48.7%). The total box office in North America is 170 million. It is even more popular in the mainland of China, with more laughter. Its momentum is almost comparable to that of “Firefly” two years ago. The film market in Mainland China has grown a lot.
Seeing that “Green Hornet” is so powerful, Wang Yang’s first superhero work won a great victory. The Warner Bros. seniors were relieved. Confidence in “The Dark Knight” skyrocketed.
Now who dares to question Magic Yang’s decision? Is he not doing well enough? He has not proved himself? His weakness? … Yang fans sneered, Yang Hei all felt a little nonsense, a wonderful movie told the world. This Pokémon is almost the existence of God in the film industry. It is now his time. As “Variety” said, after a few decades, he will inevitably be called “Hollywood’s best director in the 1920s” He is only 27 years old. Almost can be called “movie kid”.
Wang Yang’s 11th directed film “The Dead” has just been painted across the board. After 15 weeks of screening, he finally received 206 million North American box office. 264 million overseas box office, a total of 470 million global box office, ranked fifth in his list of personally directed works.
Ranked first in the “Police-Dirty” category, a long distance ahead of the second place in the “Training Day” 76.63 million; in the “criminal time” category is ranked first, the second “Pulp Fiction” 1.07 100 million; in the “Irish” category is still the first, the following “Road of Destruction” 104 million; in the “Remake-Asia” category is also the first, remake of Japan ’s “Godzilla” followed by 136 million After; in the “Remake-Foreign Thrilling” category continues to be the first, remade from the French film “Real Woman” “Real Lies” 146 million ranked second …
“Dead” has the strength and performance of sweeping similar films, and the box office of pg-level “Museum Wonderful Night” later came in. After receiving 247 million North America / 559 million global box office, it is still in 414 North American theaters and 14 overseas markets. show.
15 weeks, only 15 weeks, “Dead” is definitely the shortest Oscar best film with the shortest screening period, the shortest 200 million box office club members, but there is no way, the ticket income can not withstand the expenditure of the cinema, ready to watch in DVD Its audience will never walk into the cinema, and unprofitable cinemas naturally draw it down. It can be seen that people are so eager for the magical Yang film, and quickly used up all the box office potential. Even the little gold man is useless.
“Fatal Magic” has also been painted across the board. Its final record is 93.71 million North American box office / 172 million global box office. Compared with its production cost of 40 million, it cannot be a successful film. However, it is slightly inferior to “Magic” painted with 95.54 million / 175 million, especially the production cost of “Magic” is only 16.5 million. This fact was undoubtedly a blow to the Nolan brothers, and they also encouraged them to make “The Dark Knight”.
“Sunshine Beauty” is still being screened, and its box office is set at 105 million / 1.86 million, a veritable big dark horse! The next step is to pick up leaks in more than one hundred North American theaters and small overseas markets that have never been released. Whether it can break through 200 million depends on luck. Also in this case is “Magic Director”, Wang Yang proved his huge commercial ability from another aspect, it currently receives 116 million / 254 million worldwide box office achievements.
It can be said that all film companies hope to cooperate with Magic Yang, that means digging a gold mine! They wanted to do everything they could to do this, but Magic Yang still only had “Dark Knight” and “Iron Man” connected to Warner Bros. and New Line, respectively. Of course, as a strategic partner, Lionsgate was much more fortunate. “Ghost Record 5” landed on the big screen on April 6!
Along with the comedy films “Ghost On The Road 2”, “Fire Dog”, the horror films “Tomb”, “Harvest”. As well as the new film “Dead Silence” with a high hope of 20 million production fees.
When April 6-12 passed, the winner of the week was unsurprisingly “Ghost Record 5” (pd 6 million), although it only had a rotten tomato index, which was a bit lower than last year’s “Ghost Shadow 4”. However, the box office in the first week still received a total of 38.62 million, and the lionmen generals were able to rejoice.
Screwed up! Weinstein / Emperor’s “The Torture Room” (pd67 million) was messed up. This new film co-produced by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino had a pitiful 10.26 million at the box office in the first week. No; Warner Bros. “Harvest” screwed up. Hilary Swank starred in a new film screening 8 days 10.19 million box office! Universal’s “Dead Silence” (pd25 million) was messed up, and it received 15.67 million in 2606 theaters in the first week, with an average per museum of $ 6,013.
The change came so fast that Global caught off guard! The ambitious new works of two fathers of the “saw” trilogy. It was impossible to sell tickets. And he was smashed with rotten tomatoes.
“The movie has always asked us to suspend our suspicions, but” Dead Silence “requires us to remain ignorant of its development. A horror film that is the least metaphorical and has a simple plot and deliberate obscurity.” –1 / 5. Ed Gonzalez. “Los Angeles Times”; “Frightened by puppets? Enjoy being scared? Then, you will be dead silent. A pantomime that is hard to satisfy.” -C, Scott Brown, “Entertainment Weekly”; ” There is no attempt to humor in “Death”, but its biggest sin is the lack of panic. “-1.5 / 4, Peter Hartraub. “San Francisco Chronicle” …
The rotten tomato index is too bad! It was drowned by this pot of cold water. Wen Ziren and Ray Warner woke up all of a sudden, only to remember Wang Yang ’s original suggestion, which was reasonable. Regarding this puppet theme, about its handling, tone, and rhythm … they did n’t pay enough attention at that time. Until the moment when the box office and evaluation response on the first day were released, I was still addicted to a state of fanaticism, as if the audience would be satisfied as long as they were satisfied …
The reality gave them a slap, but unfortunately it is no longer possible to reverse the situation, and there is no way at all. In the new week of April 13-19, there are also “Large Window”, “Seduce a Stranger”, “Pioneer”, “Wild Speed”, “Drink Cup Adventures”, and “Slow Burning” on a large scale, six The new film overwhelms those failed films that are destined to lose money, and the April film market is sometimes even crueler than the summer vacation file.
If Wen Ziren and Ray Warner are a stock, then it has dropped from a premium stock to a penny stock in just a week or two. Maybe after the late sales, “Death” will not necessarily lose too much, but who knows how much of its income is earned from the “saw” trilogy? No such luck next time. In any case, Universal, which has won the treasure, did not continue to invest in their interest, next time! The Lion Gate has some meaning.
“Give me back the flame movie!” On the one hand, Wang Yang shouted at the two, and on the other hand, invited them to come back with a strong attitude. The flame movie invested any new ideas in their work! He told the two men fiercely: “I tell you, James and Ray, you are not coming back, it’s dead! I personally made” The Chainsaw 6 “into a children’s movie! Imagine the jigsaw changing the diaper for the baby in the baby room Scene! “
It seems that it is not good to run back to the flame as soon as you fail, but in the face of the magical invitation of Yang Yang, how did the two refuse? At the time, “Dead Silence” chose Universal to be somewhat disappointed by the flames. It is not only the film business between them.
There is nothing more to say, the lower movies of Wen Ziren and Ray Warner will return to flames. Although they really have to rest for a while to think about adjustments, they already have new theme ideas, such as baby room, crying baby girl, ghost, Haunted house … “Yin’er Room”. In fact, this idea originally originated a long time ago when they came to Wang Yang’s house as a guest. At that time, Ke Ke was a little baby just after birth, and then they remembered “Ghost Record” …
The flame movie was accepted. Of course, “Yin’er Room” is just an intention. There is no script, no project has been established, and what is released is too far away. But what is certain is whether the release of ff or fm depends on the quality of the film.
For the terrible results of “Dead Silence”; for the new contacts that soon came out of James Wen, Ray Warner, and Flame, the parties acknowledged; for this ending ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Fans of the fans are really emotional !
“Welcome back!” The fans of the flame official website and the flame fans are very excited and welcoming. They believe that the failure experience will bring considerable growth value to the two. The father of the saw will be able to prove himself again! They also want to see more classic horror movies!
It is worth mentioning that this week, Lion Gate arranged the “Dying Eyes” to be screened in 11 theaters and received a good $ 165,700 (average single museum $ 15,070). If it can maintain this score for two or three weeks, it is eligible to expand The scale of the screening is about 500 theaters nationwide. In any case, Joshua set his next goal and produced a film that was caught by Flame and released under the ff brand!
“Ok …” studio “saw5” set, looking at all the scene set props properly, looking at the ready Tobin-Bell and other people, as well as Wang Yang and Jessica who made a special trip, he tilted With her thumb, she clapped her hands silently, and both smiled. Nancy took a deep breath, her mind surging uncontrollably, and her dream was coming true! Former Park City wandering girl, today’s … director! She lifted the microphone and shouted: “n!”
With the order of the female director, the clapper board was knocked down, the camera started to run at high speed, and the whole set was active, “The Chainsaw 5” officially started shooting!
