As November begins, the holiday season in the North American film market begins, and market competition becomes extremely fierce, especially the two official holiday seasons in November.

The first thing we came to was the Veterans Memorial Day holiday holiday season. The holiday-made movie "Christmas Elf" of Xinyi Film has set its first shot. This film, which cost only US$30 million, won more than US$31 million in North America on its first weekend of release. While it was popular, it also announced that the horror atmosphere that has been rampant in theaters since Halloween has completely dissipated.

Affected by this, the box office of "Dungeon Siege" continued to decline, and the box office of North America on its third weekend had fallen to $4.2 million.

However, the cumulative box office of this film in North America has exceeded US$60 million.

The Embassy Film Industry has a clear understanding that the life of "Dungeon Siege" in North American theaters will not exceed December.

At the same time, the North American screening of two other films released by Embassy Pictures came to an end.

First, the plasma horror film "Saw".

This type of famous screening has a shorter lifespan. "Saw" stayed in North American theaters for nine weeks before it was released, and it is also considered a film with a longer screening lifespan among the same type.

After nine weeks of screening, "Saw" has a box office of $87.21 million in North America. Compared with the production cost of $1.5 million, it once again created a miracle for Relativity Entertainment to make a big fortune.

Having said that, horror movies can be said to be the most common type of small and big. Hollywood basically has low-cost and high-box horror movies every year, especially some old-fashioned horror movies. The investment is not high, but the box office returns are not good.

"Saw" has been screened overseas for a while, but compared to North America, the film's response overseas is much worse, with the current overseas box office of only more than 30 million US dollars.

The global box office of this film has been infinitely close to $120 million.

Subsequently, after more than four months of screening, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was successfully launched in North America.

The response this film has far exceeded that of "Saw", and it can even be said to have changed the pattern of Hollywood movies. Pirate films have since revived, resulting in countless people devoted themselves to the great pirate cause and then flooded by the storm.

Captain Jack Sparrow has and only one!

The box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in North America fell to $388.77 million, while the overseas screening of the film has not yet ended, and the global box office is expected to reach about $778 million.

After the film was removed, the Pirates of the Caribbean crew convened a press conference in Rosario, Baja California, announcing that the filming of two sequels, "The Soul Coffin" and "The End of the World" have officially begun.

All the main creators of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" have returned, and Xiao Ma Ge, who is quite appealing in the Eastern market, also joined the crew audition.

In addition, when Ronan discussed the script with director Gore Wibinsky and others, he clearly asked them to make certain modifications to the script, and not to have a love triangle between Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan.

Many times, the inexplicable love triangle is not likable. Elizabeth Swan was once very unpopular in the last two movies. The reason is the ambiguity with Jack Sparrow and the fatal kiss.

Elizabeth Swan, who kissed someone and died.

Perhaps because he has been poisoned by too many film and television dramas, Ronan feels that love triangles and other things are really disgusting.

Instead of having a love triangle, it is better to let Captain Jack Sparrow and the little blacksmith Will Turner fall in love and fight each other, which can attract a large number of fujoshi audiences.

Of course, Ronan is also thinking about it. If he really wants to do this, not to mention the market response, the entire crew will probably oppose it.

Now, it is not more than ten years after homosexuality belongs to the protected animals.

The next weekend after "Christmas Elf" produced and released by New Line Pictures, "Mean Girl" released by Embassy Pictures will be released.

After checking the news and news about "Christmas Elf", Ronan found a familiar name. The director of this comedy is Jon Favreau!

Currently, there is not much famous director in Hollywood.

But Ronan remembers him very clearly. Even if he has never seen him since he came to Los Angeles, he can still remember what Jon Favreau looks like. For example, Jon Favreau is a big fat man with a very humorous temperament.

Because this was the driver and bodyguard next to Iron Man Tony Stark, it seemed that he was called Hapi.

Most importantly, Jon Fein not only starred in Hapi, but also the director of the film "Iron Man" that truly reversed the situation in Marvel and thus formed the Marvel Dafa film!

This can be said to be one of the important figures in Marvel's superhero movies. Later, he used Marvel's springboard to direct many heavyweight commercial blockbusters and reached the peak of his life.

For example, "Fantasy Forest" and the real animal version of "The Lion King".

Ronan carefully read the information of Jon Favreau and found that he had a direct connection with the Marvel superhero movie. Jon Favreau starred in "The Daredevil" released by Twentieth Century Fox in the first half of this year, which is the one starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, but he did not play the main role.

This "Darkward" is also a typical example of the failure of Marvel superhero movies.

Ronan wrote down Jon Favreau's name, but he would not contact him for a short time, and the Avengers program was not yet launched.

Ronan then returned to New York again to attend the premiere of "Mean Girl" in New York.

This is a movie about the theme of young campus women. It focuses on this brand when it is promoted. Naturally, there are many young and beautiful girls at the premiere.

Liz Kapan, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried walked on the red carpet one after another.

Although some of them are twenty-five or six years old, pretending to be young is the basic skill of Hollywood actresses. Dressing up as a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old walking on the red carpet, there is no pressure at all.

This video also encountered some trouble, especially in the ratings, which were almost classified as R-level by the rating committee. Fortunately, after the last time, Ronan urged George Clint to pay more attention to this aspect. The scale of sending the video to the rating committee is smaller and earlier, leaving enough room for buffering.

The six major companies are both cooperative and competitive, just like DreamWorks, and they are all using methods within the rules.

For example, this weekend, a top-notch production of six major companies was released, produced and released by 20th Century Fox, starring Oscar-winning actor Russell Clow, and produced and produced by nearly $120 million.

"Mean Girl", which costs only $15 million, looks like a minor child in front of the giant "Army Sea Battle".

"The Battle of the Sea" is also one of the top Hollywood productions in 2003, a real commercial blockbuster.

This film was once the beginning of Russell Clow's decline from prosperity.

But it is undeniable that "The Sea of ​​Anger" was released at the same time, which squeezed the screening space of "Musty Girl" in the theater to a certain extent. The latter's screening and opening theater numbers are not as good as the former in any case.

The number of theaters in "The Sea of ​​Anger" has reached 3,201, while the number of theaters in "Mean Girl" is only 2,840.

The only thing that is thankful is that the target audience of "Mean Girl" is very clear and has a low overlap with "Arrogance Sea".

Faced with a strong competitor in the same period, in order to promote "Mean Girl", Ronan, a person who rarely appears directly in front of the media, rolled up his sleeves and went on the battle himself.

Standing in the media area, Ronan specifically accepted an interview with reporters.

"I think girls who try to destroy other people's lives secretly are smart." Ronan talked about the original book: "The reason why this book touched me is because of the anecdotes that the girls told in the interviews. In my opinion, they are very interesting. I mean, the way girls fight openly and secretly is so witty and complicated."

He then pulled Lindsay Bill to his side and introduced: "This is the film's screenwriter Miss Lindsay Bill. She is also the original author of three female themes: "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shadows of Gray". She is a very outstanding talented woman. She has completed the script of "Summer of Jeans" before, and the female theme film launched by Embassy Pictures in June."

This is the first time Lindsay Bill has actually appeared in front of the media. Although he has always had a decent smile on his delicate face, he clenched his fists nervously.

Ronan said without hesitation: "Lin Sai's script "Mean Girl" completed by Lindsay alone is the best young female-themed script I have seen in many years. Lindsay knows the girls' ideas very well. The script is written very realistically, and it shows the fierce competition between American middle schools and girls very realistically. Girls who have experienced and are about to experience middle school life will resonate with the story of the film."

Speaking of this, Ronan handed over the remaining interview time to Lindsay Bill, nodded slightly to her to show encouragement, and gave a few simple explanations to the public relations staff who were following him, then left the media interview area and walked towards the theater.

When he arrived at the entrance of the theater and looked back, Rona found that Lindsay Bill had been surrounded by media reporters.

A female screenwriter with a good appearance is very topical, while a female screenwriter with a good appearance is more topical!

In the future, there will be celebrity directors, and there will be celebrity screenwriters.

Lindsay Bill is also holding the halo of the authors of "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" and "The Fifty Shadows of Grey". If she is well-known enough, it will be a good thing for future movie changes.

Ronan took the time to chat with Amanda, and soon entered the theater. He had a conversation with Lauren Wesberg, who came to participate in the premiere in the VIP room. Lindsay Bill walked over with a look of exhaustion.

She was surrounded by a blonde girl, who looked like she was less than twenty years old.
