The box office data for the opening day of the North American summer vacation is released.
According to the most authoritative "Hollywood Entertainment News" report in the United States:
Fans have long awaited Columbia's "Spider-Man", which made an extraordinary splash when it was released in North America. It grossed US$44.8 million at the box office on its opening day, setting a record for the highest opening day for a new film released on a Wednesday.
At the same time, the actors in the film also began to rise to prominence.
Previously, the highest box office record for Wednesday's opening day belonged to Fantasy Entertainment's "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" released in 2001, which generated a box office revenue of US$40.4 million. In addition, a special screening of "Spider-Man" was launched in a few American cities at midnight on the 12th.
, with a cumulative total of US$12 million. In this way, the film has earned a cumulative box office revenue of nearly US$60 million.
Some people estimate that the film's box office this weekend is expected to exceed the US$100 million mark, so overall the film will have a first-week box office revenue of US$150 to US$200 million. This result is absolutely unparalleled, and there is no doubt that it will
Became the number one blockbuster of the summer.
In addition, as the box office of "Spider-Man" soars, the actors in the film have also begun to emerge. The most famous one currently is Tobey Maguire, who plays the superhero "Spider-Man". This boy with a baby face
The actor now finally has a place to play. The "baby face" who was originally a burden was given the opportunity to play the leading role. Recently, there was news that he will be the new spokesperson for Coca-Cola, proving his full "star flavor"
”.
However, although he has gradually become a big star, Maguire has no star airs. In an interview, he said that the money he has earned is enough for a lifetime, but he will never be idle like this. He said that by nature he likes to be down-to-earth and does not want to be idle.
He likes the kind of life where he becomes famous overnight. He said: "Those who wear super big sunglasses from famous brands look like insects walking on the road with a bunch of bodyguards. That will only attract more attention." He believes that it is best.
His coping method is to maintain a normal life as much as possible. Although he is currently very popular, he does not plan to stay in the entertainment industry forever. He has planned to enter Cambridge University after filming the remaining two episodes of "Spider-Man". He said
: "School life keeps me connected with real life so that I won't be out of touch." Maguire means to re-plan his life after finishing college. Maybe he will re-train in acting and then return to the entertainment industry.
…
It is undeniable that this report made two important points. First, Colombia's "Spider-Man" broke the box office record on its first day. Second, the drama was very popular and made the leading actor famous!
In fact, whether a movie is good or not depends on these two things, whether it is good at the box office. Whether the actors are popular or not, now "Spider-Man" has done it all.
So what about "Iron Man" who competes with "Spider-Man"?! What about this drama?!
…
It is also reported by the most authoritative "Hollywood Entertainment News" in the United States:
This time, Fantasy Entertainment, known as the rise of Hollywood, successfully launched the new film "Iron Man" by the famous director Yi Feiyang. The film caused a box office storm as soon as it was released - starring the most controversial actor in Hollywood.
The film starring Robert Downey Jr. undoubtedly topped the North American box office with a box office of US$28 million on its opening day, becoming another rare masterpiece in the history of Hollywood movies.
The film debuted on North American screens yesterday, and its overseas market situation is also very good. Although the box office on the opening day of "Iron Man" is almost 20 million different from that of "Spider-Man", the number of theaters of the two companies cannot be increased on the same day.
Among them, "Spider-Man" has more than 5,000 theaters showing this film in North America, while "Iron Man" has only a pitiful more than 2,000 theaters. In comparison, being able to get 28 million at the first-day box office is already very good, even
It can be said to be "beyond people's imagination".
There is no doubt that from the current box office data, Fantasy Entertainment has lost to most of Colombia. As the most promising director in Hollywood, Yi Feiyang is likely to encounter an unprecedented box office "Waterloo". With his own box office
failure to highlight Sam Raimi's unshakable status as a super leader.
In short, both Yi Feiyang and his companies are facing a very troublesome problem, that is, how to turn things around and save the current embarrassing situation. As for whether this drama can make money, it is no longer important.
What matters is how much you can earn!
Let's talk about an anomaly in the movie "Iron Man", that is, as the leading actor, Robert Downey Jr., a famous Hollywood "bad boy", "drug addict" and "alcoholic", really did not pull Yi Feiyang.
The hind legs, on the contrary, also contributed to the brilliance of this drama.
Yes, Downey's wonderful performance has added a lot of points to this drama. If China Yi plays with special effects technology in the drama, then the acting skills of everyone including Downey are the biggest highlight of this drama.
What to watch.
We can undoubtedly speculate that Downey will make a comeback with the help of this drama. The guy who was despised and ignored by others in the past will become a hot superstar in Hollywood again. We look forward to it!
…
The reports of "Hollywood Entertainment News" are very true. As the most authoritative entertainment mouthpiece in Hollywood, their views almost represent the largest audience at the moment. Through these two reports, everyone can find that Columbia's "Spider-Man" relies on
The theater chain, which was more than twice as powerful as Fantasy Entertainment, showed its might and occupied the first place at the box office on the first day, far behind Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man".
In the words of a Colombian, "Based on the current situation, China can lose easily and take off its pants!"
…
This is indeed the case. After the premiere day, in the next three days, Columbia's "Spider-Man" continued to work hard, and by the weekend the box office directly exceeded 100 million, reaching an astonishing 167 million US dollars!
Although the hard-hitting "Iron Man" has received a huge reputation, its theatrical performance was not as good as others, and its total box office on the weekend was only US$88.43 million!
It can be seen from the data that the total weekend box office of "Iron Man" is half of that of "Spider-Man"!!!
"Oh my God. China's Yiyi failed miserably at the box office! "Iron Man" was so abused by "Spider-Man" that it can't be found!"
"The dream of China's super-great director Yi is shattered. He can still only be at the feet of Sam Raimi!"
"It's rare for Colombia to show off its power. Fantasy Entertainment is miserable!"
All kinds of negative public opinions have come out, and almost all of them are badmouthing Fantasy Entertainment. In this regard, even those fans who like Fantasy Entertainment and Yi Feiyang are helpless. After all, the facts are in front of them. If you want to go against the will,
It's simply impossible!
Of course, among the many public opinions, there are also some more sensible viewers. They commented: "Although the weekly box office of China Yi's new film is not as good as Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man", looking at all his previous films, the one with the highest weekly box office
It was only about 50 million, but now he has surpassed himself with the movie "Iron Man", with a weekly box office of more than 80 million, which is a breakthrough in itself."
"We don't want to embarrass China Yi too much. We need to see the facts clearly. This time he lost not in the quality of the movie, but in the number of theaters. Yes, in our eyes, Yi's "Iron Man" is absolutely
Better than Sam’s Spider-Man!”
…
With a "pop" sound, Abbas slammed the newspaper containing this review onto the table inside the Colombian head office.
"I don't know what to say!" Abbas said, "I doubt if this is the gunman hired by the poor Chinese Yi. God, this way of self-comfort is so pathetic!"
"Maybe they are not exaggerating..." Sam Raimi shook his head and said somewhat unconfidently, "I have also watched the movie "Iron Man", and it is indeed good."
"No way, man, you actually said that? Do you think you can't compare to that Chinese Yi?"
"That's not the case, I just want to say..."
"Okay, okay, I know what you want to say... You just pity him, right? Yes, a guy who was so highly praised was thrown down by us. He looked so unlucky.
It is conceivable. But man, now is not the time for us to act as God and show mercy. What we have to do is to take advantage of the victory and make sure that the hateful Chinese Yi can never hold his head up. Yes, just like boxing, one circle
Knock him down and he will never be able to stand up!"
…
In the next half month, as Abbas expected, Colombia continued to achieve good results. In less than a month, the total box office of "Spider-Man" has reached an astonishing US$578 million. It is estimated that if it were not
Unexpectedly, after the summer vacation, the total box office can exceed 800 million, or even 900 million US dollars.
In contrast, due to theater restrictions and other reasons, the box office of "Iron Man" was unsatisfactory. Today, the total box office is only about 252 million, which is barely able to recover the shooting costs.
The success of "Spider-Man" at the box office made Abbas, who was in charge of this film, so happy that he forgot all about it. He was relieved. Now, he no longer has to be wary of Yi Feiyang, and he no longer has to worry about being raped.
After winning, he needs to relax, yes, relax well!
…
"We met in Huaichun, and we exchanged a few words with each other. We held Boba in our hands, and it was windy and rainy last night. The corners of our skirts were flying, and the mandarin ducks were splashing in the water. The waves were rising. It's so weird, and the man's soul is ecstasy. It smells good at night."
Abbas, who is now the acting president of Columbia and chairman of the North American Film Association, is known to like to attend various private parties. As a hot talent in the American entertainment industry today, he also has a lot of lovers. Just like during the Cannes Film Festival, Abbas
Si never forgets to have fun after work.
Now, his new movie has finally beaten Yi Feiyang at the box office. Abbas is naturally very proud. While accepting the cheers of the upcoming victory, he is unwilling to be lonely. First, he went to New York to attend a bowling party.
Then he sang and danced and mingled with countless hot and beautiful women. Those paparazzi reporters would not let go of this explosive news. Especially "Entertainment New World", a loyal partner of Fantasy Entertainment, cleverly took photos of him secretly.
In the photo, Abbas, whose triangular eyes exude a light that is usually invisible, always has a blonde bombshell in his arms, looking quite proud of himself.
In several pictures, the two of them are hugging each other, and the happy Abbas unceremoniously touches the hot beauty's waist with his big hands. His expression is so proud that he is happier than the movie's box office success. Moreover,
It is not difficult to find that this blonde beauty is obviously very interested in Abbas. When taking pictures, her tender hands were always placed under Abbas's back. Her skin is also a healthy wheat color. Her round breasts are compact and not exaggerated.
The small vest is properly pushed out of a golden section groove, so that Abbas, who has an obvious height advantage, can have an unobstructed view. The beautiful scenery in his chest will naturally make someone feast his eyes and be ready to move.
In addition to this blonde beauty, there are several hot-bodied girls who stick to Abbas's body. One of them, a young woman in a white tights, directly raised her plump and thick buttocks to Abbas's waist.
.Making Abbas, who was already holding the blonde beauty in one hand, grinning from ear to ear. It seemed that after finishing bowling, Abbas was going to start other shooting exercises.
As the saying goes, nothing can stop the fire. As soon as these scandalous photos of Abbas came out, they immediately caused an uproar!
No one would have thought that this amiable old man from the Film Association, who has always been a gentleman, would be so carefree.
In fact, Abbas has always been a master in love, and only a master among masters like him can hide an extramarital affair so deeply. While staying married to his wife, Abbas a few years ago
He had a relationship with an old woman who was several years older than him. He kept in touch with her and gave birth to an illegitimate child. This matter was now dug up by a reporter from "Entertainment New World" and then exposed to the world.
.Following this, the revelations about Abbas's romantic life outside were revealed one after another. Only then did people gradually realize that it turned out that this seemingly honest old guy was actually a complete old man.
satyr!
In fact, Abbas is different from many men in his preferences for women, because he likes women who are older than him. Maybe Abbas feels that only experienced women can make him feel safe. After all, some people just like to be with women.
When mature women are together, apart from the Oedipus complex, experience is also very important.
The Sony boss behind Colombia was dissatisfied with Abbas's extramarital affair. Soon, Akio Morita gave Abbas an ultimatum, "Stop living and drinking, you must know that we still have strong opponents!"
In this regard, Abbas's answer was simple, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, Yi Feiyang is like a poor Chinese monkey who can't turn the palm of my hand!"
…
The end of August 2002.
The North American summer vacation is about to end, and the movie box office war for this summer vacation is about to come to an end.
As two generations of heroes on the battlefield, Yi Feiyang and Sam Raimi both gave their best answers. Regardless of which one of them will win in the end, judging from the total box office, whether it is "Spider-Man" or "Iron Man"
” are all box office monsters this summer.
So far, without strong competition from rivals, the sci-fi action film "Spider-Man" produced and distributed by Columbia has accumulated a staggering global box office of 920 million U.S. dollars, entering the top 15 highest box office in Hollywood history. According to previous generations
Calculating the US$630 million of this drama, it can be said that Colombia has changed the historical trajectory, and the box office is nearly US$300 million higher than its previous life!
Fantasy entertainment is very stressful!
Yes, it’s stressful!,
As of now, the total global box office of Fantasy Entertainment's "Iron Man" is 769 million US dollars. This figure is far behind Columbia's "Spider-Man". From the current point of view, although the "Iron Man" movie has relied on word-of-mouth efforts in the later period,
Although we are chasing "Spider-Man", we are still unable to catch up, and we are missed by a huge box office gap.
Just when Colombia was about to happily announce its victory in the summer vacation and show off its power, another piece of data came out. As soon as this data came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Hollywood, and even the whole world!
What data?!
"Iron Man" online viewing profit data!
As mentioned above, before the release of "Iron Man", Yi Feiyang secretly signed experimental online paid viewing contracts with major websites in the United States, Europe, Asia and other regions.
And it was this inconspicuous, seemingly experimental contract that caused an earth-shaking shock at this moment.
Why?
Because this data is so amazing---817 million!
In other words, Yi Feiyang's "Iron Man" earned an astonishing box office of 817 million by relying solely on online viewing!
To be precise...online box office!!
Unprecedented online box office!
That’s right, it’s the online box office!
In his previous life, Yi Feiyang discovered that many Hollywood blockbusters would be publicly available for online viewing two or three months after their release. Many of them were included in VIP movies and supported paid viewing.
It is for this motive that Yi Feiyang designed this unprecedented "online synchronized paid viewing". Note that it is "synchronized viewing", not two or three months later.
Yi Feiyang did not dare to hold out much hope for this experimental strategy. To the outside world, this was a very ridiculous behavior.
"God, if you can watch movies online, why do you need movie theaters?" This is a mocking view.
"Is China going crazy if it wants to rely on the Internet to make money at the box office?"
"Blockbusters are only enjoyable to watch in cinemas. Watching them online? What a joke!"
…
In short, the outside world was not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's cooperation project before, and even his rival Columbia ridiculed after learning the news: "China Yi really seems to regard himself as a Hollywood tyrant and is driving movie theaters into a dead end!"
"
Yes, everyone is not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's audacious plan, or it is a ridiculous plan.
In their view, Yi Feiyang made two big mistakes.
First, the Internet can never replace movie theaters, which lack the comfortable audio-visual effects.
Second, simultaneous viewing of "Iron Man" online will only weaken the box office of his real-life movies.
But the truth is exactly the opposite!
After the simultaneous online viewing of "Iron Man" was implemented during the premiere, those lazy young people who like to stay at home can directly open the video and pay 2 US dollars, which is much lower than the actual ticket price, to watch this movie comfortably.
For them, watching movie videos at home is more free and comfortable than in a cinema. They can avoid the bustling crowd and enjoy their favorite movies alone.
Of course, after all, online video is not as shocking as watching it in a movie theater, and the audio-visual effect is not comparable, but it is worse than a "warmth" and "comfort". You know, compared to being warm and comfortable, there is no place like home. In addition, Many fans who like this movie, after watching "Iron Man" online, were moved by the story and shocked by the scenes. In order to experience a more realistic audio-visual experience, they went to the movie to watch it a second time!
Since then, online viewing has not only not weakened the real box office of "Iron Man", on the contrary, it has also helped him gather more audiences and win more box office. This is also why "Iron Man" later
"The box office will get better and better, and the distance between it and "Spider-Man" will continue to narrow.
In a word, Yi Feiyang has created another miracle, and it is a shocking miracle with a box office of over 1.5 billion! (To be continued...)
