Chapter 866 (2/2)
Unlike beauty and the beast, which opened its public praise on the opening day of the film critic's audition in advance, paramount has been holding on to cut throat island until the opening day.
There's never been a secret in Hollywood.
So a lot of people got the news ahead of time: Martin Campbell messed up this time.
The former ”cut throat island” was mainly created by Renny Harlem and Gina Davis. The failure of the project can be described as tragic, which directly brought the career of Renny Harlem, who was promoted to the first-line director by virtue of ”die hard”, to the bottom. The huge loss of the project was also included in the Guinness Book of records.
This time, under the influence of Simon, the director of ”cut throat island” has changed to Martin Campbell. This Hollywood director has just directed ”Wonder Woman” and ”speed of life and death” two blockbuster films in a row, and is in high spirits. Although there are contract restrictions with danielis entertainment, there is no delay before the launch of ”wonder woman 2” Mistakenly taking a big job with rich salary.
Moreover, compared with the DC movie universe project, which is under Simon's personal control, because of the increase in the number of coffee seats, both major investors, Carlock pictures and paramount, have given Martin Campbell the greatest authority in the signing of the contract and the preparatory process of the project. Campbell is not only the director, but also the leader I'm the first producer.
Simon got the news ahead of time that in order to get rid of some labels, Martin Campbell is actually ambitious and plans to build an epic pirate blockbuster.
Too ambitious, it is inevitable to want to keep improving, everything. Then, the shooting process inevitably overspends.
It happens that the lessons of Warner Brothers' future water world have just happened. Neither Carloc nor paramount wants to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, one and a half months after the shooting of the project, we found that Martin Campbell is on the way to Kevin Costner's old road. Originally, the unrestrained paramount and Carloc are impatient and constantly urge Campbell to speed up the shooting process At the same time, they began to violate the original agreement to strengthen the control and intervention of the project.
The result is a disaster.
Although the production cost of ”cut throat island” was successfully controlled at $100 million, it was finally completed. Because Martin Campbell almost broke up with the producer, it was difficult for the two sides to coordinate and cooperate in the later stage, and the quality could be imagined.
On the day of the painting, even if it was covered up in advance, it would not prevent the reputation of ”cut throat island” from directly collapsing.
Many film critics give negative feedback on the Internet platform for the first time, such as ”the main line of the story is fragmented, the role building lacks focus, and the rhythm of the plot is inexplicable.”. Even let some people mistakenly think that this is the Internet platform under the control of westero system deliberately suppress competitors.However, this is the quality of the film itself.
Preliminary statistics, ”cut throat island” comprehensive media score is only about 2 points.
Simon went through the copy of ”cut throat island” at Malibu Studios on Friday and found it far inferior to the version of Rene Harlin in his memory. In the past, Renny Harlem's version of ”cut throat island” was overturned by many fans who thought that the quality was not so bad. Many details in the film were imitated by the later series of ”Pirates of the Caribbean”.
Now, the film ”cut throat island” directed by Martin Campbell will probably not be reversed.
The last film of the same period, the romance of the White House, is also quite typical.
This is a political background romantic comedy produced by Sony Pictures. It is created by Rob lenner, Alan Sorkin and Michael Douglas, three Hollywood movie celebrities. It is obviously the CAA packing team. The film tells that American President Andrew, starring Michael Douglas, temporarily employs an environmental volunteer woman as his diplomatic partner. Obviously, the president is a bachelor. Then, the president is attracted by the lady, and the prince and princess finally live happily together.
Perfect American political fairy tale and love fairy tale.
Because the three main creators are the ace of CAA, and other veteran movie stars, such as Annette bening and Martin Sheen, have joined in as guest stars. Although it's just a love movie with no money burning action special effects scenes, the production budget of ”the romance of the White House” has reached 62 million US dollars.
Obviously, only Sony, which has been defeated many times in Hollywood, is willing to be the big culprit.
Simon saw the play in the first place.
Even with the strength of danielis entertainment, he didn't need to accept CAA's package at all. If he was willing to take over, the budget cost could be controlled within 50 million US dollars, he rejected the project for the first time.
It's too expensive.
What's more, Rob Reiner is also beginning to be suspected of eating his old money.
Simon is not in the habit of indulging the old Hollywood bigwigs to eat their own money.
With a huge investment of 62 million US dollars, Sony will probably recall that it has only given a publicity budget of 20 million US dollars, and the number of opening screens of the film is only 1677.
So, between the best beauty and the beast and the worst cut throat Island, the sense of existence in the White House is very weak. Even if the film's media reputation is actually quite good, with a comprehensive media score of 7.1, without popularity, it is unlikely to gain too much box office.
The subsequent box office data also proved this tendency.
Early in the morning on Saturday, the box office on Friday, which many people pay close attention to, immediately ignited public opinion.
However, the key to this time's public focus is the tragic failure of ”cut throat island”. As for the success of ”beauty and the beast”, it is natural. As for White House, um Oh It turns out that Michael Douglas has a new film.
Then the attention shifts again.
On the first day of the Thanksgiving show in 1995, danelis Entertainment's ”beauty and the beast” won the box office champion in a single day without any suspense. On the opening day, it earned 15.91 million US dollars. It is estimated that the box office in the first weekend will be about 45 million US dollars, and the box office in the first week is expected to reach 70 million US dollars.
It's totally predictable.
Denise entertainment also launched a campaign on Saturday for ”beauty and the beast” to hit the best picture Oscar nomination.
Later, directed by Rob Reiner, written by Alan Sorkin and starred by Michael Douglas, the first day box office of white house is $2.97 million, which is quite different from beauty and the beast. It is estimated that the revenue will be about $10 million in the three days of the first weekend and about $13 million in the seven days of the first week.
Love movies are easy to grow. If the follow-up is stable enough, such a start is not an absolute failure. It's very promising for Sony to rush $50 million at home. If it's outside Shanghai and the follow-up, Sony won't lose too much.
Finally, cut throat island.
First day box office, 970000 dollars.
Yes, not $9.7 million, but $0.97 million.
In the already mature American film market, the audience is obviously not in the habit of conniving at bad movies, even those that cost 100 million dollars.
As a result, burned 100 million dollars, ”cut throat island” box office on the first day of the poor 97 million.
The box office is expected to reach about $3 million in the first weekend and $5 million in the first seven days.
Compared with the opening scale of 2505 screens, the first week of $5 million was less than $2000, which is the level at which many films began to shrink their screening scale and prepare for the next stage. In fact, on the first day of box office, many cinemas have already begun to contact whether they can remove the canvas in advance.
After all, it's a hot Thanksgiving season, and no one wants to waste resources on a movie with an average studio of 2500 dollars. Considering the withdrawal tendency of the cinema, the cut throat island is likely to be unable to cross the $10 million box office threshold of Rene Harlin's versionThe huge investment of US $100 million, even the box office of US $10 million, can not be recovered. Such data can only be described as tragic.
