Hollywood Starts with Animation

v2 Chapter 686: Arrogant?

The next day.

The previous day's North American box office results were released.

TO1. The movie "The Scorpion King", the first day's box office was 8.35 million USD;

TO2. The movie "Herari's Family", the first day's box office was 3.89 million US dollars;

TO3. The movie "The Chainsaw", the box office yesterday was 3.4 million US dollars;

For the next 4th to 10th movies, the highest box office of the day did not exceed $3 million.

"Where did this "Herari's Family" pop up?"

Zhu Ke looked at the report and asked.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch laughed and said: "oss, it is a comedy film released by a sub-brand film company of Sony Columbia. The box office was pretty good yesterday, but the word of mouth is rotten. Many netizens are scolding on several movie review websites."

"Did our navy do it, or did it from Universal Pictures?" Zhu Ke asked in amazement.

Kevin Fitch shook his head immediately.

He said: "Oss, at first I thought that it was not our network navy team, or Universal Pictures, but after some investigation, I found out that this is really not the result of our shots, but the movie itself. It sucks. Many spectators who bought tickets into the venue directly called out that they were deceived."

"Ok."

Zhuke nodded: "If this is the case, let's watch this movie again, and the focus is on Universal Pictures' "Scorpion King"."

"Understood, oss."

The "Scorpion King" of Universal Pictures has the slogan "The Mummy Prequel", which will undoubtedly attract a large number of fans. However, this "Scorpion King" does not say that it is a money-trapping movie. That definitely has nothing to do with the mummy.

The movie "The Scorpion King" had a box office of 8.35 million US dollars on the first day, and the results were good. In fact, this is the word of mouth for the overdraft mummy.

Don't think that Hollywood studios don't eat bad money, they have no bottom line, and they can definitely spend money!

Ding Ding Ding~

At this moment, a call came directly to Zhuke's personal phone.

"I'm Zucker Wald."

"What, you said that Universal Pictures has decided to hold a celebration banquet in a few days? Good guys, they are really confident enough, our new work "Chain Saw" is indeed suppressed, but Are they not afraid that Touchstone Pictures’ film "Observations of the Sky" will stab them in the back door?"

On April 10th, "The Fright of Chainsaw" was released;

On April 17, "The Scorpion King" was released;

On April 19, "Tian Zhao" produced by Touchstone Pictures and released by the Disney Group was released;

After some words, Zhuke hung up the phone.

Zhuke looked at Kevin Fitch and smiled: "Man, I just received news that Universal Pictures is already preparing for a movie celebration. You said, do they think that...can win? "The Signs of the Sky"?"

Kevin Fitch: "..."

.......

the other side.

The main creators of the film "Obscene" are currently in New York on the eve of the film's release.

Movie title: "Tian Zhao".

Production companies: Touchstone Pictures, Marshall Films.

Issuing company: Disney Group.

Film director: M. Knight Shamaran (Representative: "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural").

Starring: Mel Gibson, Jacques Phoenix...

Production cost: 75 million US dollars.

From the capital to the cast of the cast, from the production company to the distribution company, everything shows that "Obscene" is a very strong movie that can grab a high box office.

When starring Mel Gibson faced reporters in an interview, he said: "Wald Pictures’ new work, do you mean "Chain Saw"? Well, I have heard that it is an excellent horror and thriller. , But I don’t think it will have much impact on us."

The voice fell.

When a media reporter said: "Are you overconfident? You know that in recent years, Wald Pictures has created miracles time and time again."

Another media reporter followed up and said: "Even if "Chain Saw" is currently suppressed by "Scorpion King", is there no chance of turning defeat into victory?"

Are they complaining about Wald Pictures' films?

of course not!

This group of media reporters is just picking up issues and fighting fire. Don't overestimate the bottom line of this group of people!

"Puff puff~"

Mel Gibson was immediately happy: "I said you guys, the methods are too low-level. Don't you just want me to criticize Wald Pictures."

The reporters were embarrassed.

However, they adjusted quickly, and after just a few seconds, the embarrassing faces returned to normal.

Mel Gibson added: “It’s rare that I’m in a good mood today. I might as well tell you directly, whether it’s Wald Pictures’ "Chain Saw" or Universal Pictures’ "Scorpion King", they are all excellent in their own right. , But the production company behind them made a serious mistake. They... bumped into me!"

"The Omen of Heaven, starring me, is bound to destroy all opponents like a stormy sea."

While speaking, Mel Gibson made a gesture of a wave coming.

Suddenly, all the media reporters present were thrilled.

They never expected that Mel Gibson still jumped down willingly when the cautious thoughts of themselves and others were exposed.

"He's so brave!"

A media reporter couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Of course it's man!"

Another person directly said: ""Deadly Weapon", "Brave Heart", "Ransom Storm" and other movies starring him, which box office is bad? Mel Gibson may not be the most popular movie star in Hollywood, but it must Is one of the most successful actors, let alone facing the Wald Pictures, even facing the six Hollywood, he also has this card."

Arrogant?

That's right, but the current Mel Gibson is really popular and is sought after by major film companies!

For example, during the promotion of the movie "Tianjin~lightnovelpub.net~, Mel Gibson strongly requested the producer, Touchstone Pictures, and the distributor, Disney Group, to say: "The poster for the movie "Tianjin", It’s enough to have me alone."

The implication is that he doesn't want to see other actors on the movie poster.

He also said in person: "The audience bought the tickets for me, not for other actors. They were able to star in the same movie as me, it was an honour for them."

How arrogant this is!

Can ordinary people do it?

Anyone with a little brain would not make such a request, but Mel Gibson did just that.

Jackie Phoenix, one of the leading actors, cried in the bathroom.

There is really no him on the promotional poster of the movie "Obscene"! ! !

.......

In the afternoon of the same day, Touchstone Pictures suddenly announced a piece of news.

[The new work of Touchstone Pictures, "The Signs of the Sky", was originally scheduled to be screened in 2150 North American theaters on April 19, but it is now officially changed to a trial screening. 】

The screening scale of 2,150 theaters will be adjusted to 200 theaters, and large-scale screenings will take place two weeks later.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the entire Hollywood in an instant!

"Too Nima is sinister!"

Kevin Fitch, president of Wald Pictures, said angrily: "I said why Universal Pictures is so confident, then there must be a movie celebration party. It turns out that they have settled Touchstone Pictures and Disney Group early. "

The original April schedule should have been a melee between the three film companies.

But now?

Disney and Touchstone Pictures retreated, leaving only Universal Pictures and Wald Pictures to compete.

"" The second update is sent.
