The Director of Music Department - Chapter 1417
“Sixth Sense of Supernatural” did not have any surprises, and the box office exploded.
At the box office of more than 60 million dollars in the first weekend, the decline in the following week was also very slight.
It wasn’t until the third week that there was a relatively large drop. In the end, the box office of “Sixth Sense of Supernatural” was over US$300 million in North America.
And the global box office directly exceeded 600 million US dollars!
And you know, the biggest expense of “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” is actually the pay of Wang Yifan and Jack Curtis.
Otherwise, this is really a low-cost feature film.
It’s definitely a small blog!
What’s interesting is that it’s not Jack Curtis himself that made the most of the film’s success.
Instead, it was Wang Yifan!
Because Wang Yifan once again proved his invincible reputation.
Turn the stone into gold!
You know, even now, there are only a few that can earn more than 300 million U.S. dollars at the domestic box office each year in North America.
Therefore, Wang Yifan’s scripts are naturally rising. At the same time, several Chinese directors directed by Wang Yifan’s scripts also immediately attracted attention.
After all, the movie “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, although Jack Curtis’s own strength and fame, is also a major reason for the success of this movie.
However, it is undeniable that the script of this movie was written by Wang Yifan.
A person who can make movies by himself, make good movies, and hit movies at the box office is certainly very powerful, but such directors, although not many, are definitely not too few.
Such as Jack Curtis himself.
But it is even more terrifying for someone who is not only good at making movies by himself, but also has stronger screenwriting ability and success in every film.
Such as Wang Yifan!
At this time, Wang Yifan’s new movie, the first movie of the Marvel Universe Project, announced that it will be scheduled for this year’s summer vacation.
The propaganda of “Spider-Man” has already begun.
Movie peripherals, including comics, etc., have been working hard for a long time.
“Spider-Man” is said to be the first movie of the Marvel universe project.
But in fact, superhero movies have long been common in this world and in Hollywood.
In fact, even for “Spider-Man” and the Marvel Universe Project, there are many giants joining. But in fact, many people are not so optimistic about Wang Yifan’s superhero movie.
Speaking of IP, in fact, there are several giants in Hollywood, which one doesn’t have a few IPs in their hands?
As we all know, the first film in the series has always been the riskiest. This is also the biggest problem in developing a series of films.
Of course, everyone actually recognizes Wang Yifan’s strength. After all, winners can always succeed. This is something that all capital is chasing.
But the biggest problem still lies in the fact that the hero of “Spider-Man” is Chinese.
It’s not that movies in which the Chinese are the protagonist will not sell well.
Of course not, but the limitations are indeed very big. So far, it can be said that only a few real Chinese have acted as protagonists to carry the entire movie box office.
Cheng Hu is considered the most successful one, but he was only the most successful.
And even Hollywood has long labelled Chinese protagonists, kung fu movie heroes!
Therefore, even if “Spider-Man” has a huge background, the movie has always relied on the movie itself to speak.
Hollywood is different from China in China. It is a popular schedule, and domestic films by directors like Wang Yifan can almost dominate the schedule.
But this is not the case in Hollywood, even if it is a partner, even if it is a partnership.
However, it is impossible to have no competitors in popular schedules.
For example, this year’s summer vacation.
The competitors of “Spider-Man” are equally not weak, and there is more than one.
There are even homogenous superhero movies released.
And it’s a sequel to a superhero!
Because “Spider-Man” is a collaborative project of many companies, this is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing at the same time.
Because everyone shares the profit together, and after sharing the profit share, it owns less share.
It can be said that “Spider-Man” may be everyone’s godson, but they must also have their own sons to raise.
Moreover, there are not a few movies produced by major companies every year.
Many giants have many film labels under their umbrella, so although everyone will try to avoid internal friction, but often, because of schedule reasons, they often still play themselves.
Fortunately, the North American film market has long been very mature.
This year’s summer file, “Spider-Man” is naturally a big sight.
But apart from this time, the main North American distributors of “Spider-Man”, Fang Mina Group and Matsumoto Universal, the summer files are just two low-cost movies.
Several other giants have their own big productions to be released.
Of course, because everyone also invested in “Spider-Man” after all, they did not choose to release it on the same day, but there were movies released in the week before and after.
The biggest competitor of “Spider-Man” is the superhero movie from DSN, “Dragon Knight”!
“Dragon Knight” is also a comic change movie. Although the first box office of “Dragon Knight” did not hit the box office, it is still quite good.
And this time the “Dragon Knight” sequel, DSN also has high hopes.
This movie will start painting a week before “Spider-Man”!
In fact, compared to “Dragon Knight 2”, “Spider-Man” can only be said to be a small-cost movie among superhero movies.
No way, it’s not that Wang Yifan doesn’t want to make big productions, but that “Spider-Man” is positioned as a civilian hero, which is completely different from “Iron Man”.
“Dragon Knight 2” is actually a superhero movie that takes place in modern society. In fact, superhero movies have already had a set of patterns in this world.
For example, “Dragon Knight” is actually a bit like “Superman” from the previous life. It is also a super species from an alien planet. However, after he came to Earth, he was adopted by the Earthlings and integrated into the human world.
When encountering a worldwide crisis, he will become a dragon knight and guard the planet.
Does it seem to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity?
Well, “Superman” and “Ultraman” are all of this type.
This is the stream of superheroes in this world!
Another point is that, in fact, DSN, several other companies, or not, do not take “Spider-Man” too seriously. It is also that this movie is really three or two kittens.
The most famous is of course the director Wang Yifan, and then Spider-Man is a newcomer, and he is also Chinese.
The other characters, there is nothing to say, they are not big stars.
Unlike “Dragon Knight 2”, the starring person is a popular Hollywood star.
The director is also a famous director, not to mention the investment.
The superheroes of this world focus on special effects. The investment of “Dragon Knight 2” claims to exceed $250 million.
What about “Spider-Man”? It is even called the cheapest superhero movie by some people!
